When this blog transfers to the posting page and then to the blog page itself, these two lists will probably not look like lists. But they are starting out straight.

Believe It or Not

The cost of having a baby son in the USA about half a century ago:

Private Room @ $17.50 per day. . . . $70.00
Rooming-in Charge @ $7 per day . . . 28.00
Delivery Room . . . . . . 26.00
Anesthesia (two whiffs) . . . . . 12.00
Circumcision . . . . . . 6.00
Chest X-ray (routine) . . . . . 2.00
Laboratory (routine) . . . . . 8.00
Vitamin C & Iron . . . . . 1.00
ABDEC (vitamins for baby) . . . . 1.30
Telephone Calls . . . . . . .30
Physician’s fee (delivery & prenatal care) . . 85.00
Physician’s fee (circumcision). . . . 10.00

TOTAL $249.60

I don't know where the word "labels" came from and see no way to erase it.

Heart here.
