Prevention Of Eye Diseases Societyk Goal With each year, new scien­ tific knowledge increases the ability of the physician to diagnose, treat and control diseases of the eye according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Prevention of cataract, glaucoma, retinal disease and other blinding conditions is no longer an idle dream but is now a practical objective of the ophthalmologist and his fellow scientists in eye research. Traditional philanthropy in the field of blindness has been centered on the tragic after­ math of blinding disease, Research to prevent blindness has now introduced a more hopeful concept. Approximately 95 percent of all blindness is the result of eye disease. In most cases the causes are presently unkown to medical science. These Tax Facts Medical Expense peductions Prime Tax Error Category Many taxpayers get smaller refunds - or have to pay ad­ ditional taxes - because they make errors in reporting medical expenses, Roger C. Beck, district director of In­ ternal Revenue for northern Illinois, said this week. To avoid errors in deducting medical expenses on 1972 returns, Beck advised tax­ payers to read the Form 1040 instructions carefully before filing. A common error taxpayers made in reporting medical expenses is in deducting medicine and drug expenses. Taxpayers can add these ex­ penses to their other medical expenses only to the extent they exceed one percent of adjusted gross income. "Some taxpayers," Beck said, "try to deduct in full their drug costs in excess of one percent of their adjusted gross income instead of adding this excess to their other medical LaLECHE SERIES The La Leche league of Crystal Lake is devoting a series of four monthly meetings for the purpose of giving in­ formation and encouragement to mothers who want to nurse their babies.

That is why the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness is devoting more and more funds to eye research. Blind­ ness can be conquered only when the reasons for its existence are thoroughly un­ derstood. expenses, which are subject to a three percent limitation." Another common error taxpayers made last year in­ volved the medical insurance premium deduction. You can deduct one-half the cost of the premium paid for medical insurance, up to $150, without regard to the three percent of income limitation. The Form 1040 instructions explain what is and is not deductible and also how the expenses should be reported. 3 •V THC OLO TIMfR From Mrs. Pearl J. Street, Re­ public, KS.: I remember when the "Picture Show" (as it was khown then) was one of the most popu­ lar forms of entertainment. The show started with the appearance on the screen of a printed intro­ duction to the action that would follow After a short interval, another printed explanation ap­ peared, and then several others before the film was finished. The best known and admired lady in the pictures was beautiful Mary Pickford The most amusing actor was Charlie Chaplin with his com­ ical antics. While we sat with our eyes riveted to the screen, the silence was broken by the music of the piano, which played con­ tinuously throughout the show. It was in 1927 when sound ef­ fects, dialogue and music were introduced to the screen, and the era of the silent picture was re­ placed forever by the movies ANNIVERSARY SALE! Fri. & Sat.
