"We could save some

saving some money is better

Ixiss than $9 billion is
spent each year on foreigfo
aid, a minuscule amount
when considering thfe
country's massive annual
budget, according to Carter.
He‘•edes p viding rela-
tively 1 .tie savings, Carter
suggest' d foreign aid cuts
could hurt IJ.S. economy.
He cited government re-
ports claiming that 70 cenjs
on the dollar of aid given fo
foreign governments is re-
turned to the U.S. ec iorrw
in the form of purchase)
from U.S. individuals and
corporations for goods arid
services.
Reduction in aid would
result in a reduction of for-
eign purchases, Carter con-
tented. "That slows down
the economy terms of the I
net benefit to actual dollars:
saved," he explained.
In addition to the ecu- *
nomic impact, eliminating
U.S. foreign aid could unde-
termine national security
efforts abroad, Carter said.
"Many times by issuing
aid, the United States re-
ceives such tangible conces-
sions from foreign govern-
ments as military bases,
landing rights and port of
call rights. Consequently,
when you start cutting for
eign aid, you start losing jtk
right to proposition troop*,
he said.
Carter noted that Jatpri

by giving slightly more tl
$9 billion. The two countries

Finally, people shouldn't

Childs Allowance Means
More Than Just Money
By Sandra Avant
Children will learn a lot in
school this year, but one
thing they won’t learn much
ibout is managing money.

Sarah Anderson with the
Texas Agricultural Extin-
sion Service.
"That responsibility falls
on the parents," said Ander-
sqn, a family life specialist.

, Parents usually use two
approaches in providing
^noney to children and teen-
agers- the "allowance sys-
tem" and the "handout sys-
tem," according to Dr.
JNancy Granovsky, Exten-
sion family resource man-
agement specialist.

anding out money this
eliminates the opportu-
nity for a child to learn to
plan expenses, allocate
funds, and set aside money
for use on another day," she
said. "An allowance system
is preferable. A child with a
weekly allowance can learn
how to handle money and
mak< »it last until it's
needed."
Experts say that when
children are old enough to
tell the difference between
coins and start asking for
money, that it’s time to be-
gin a regular allowance.
"But until children reach
a certain cognitive level,
they're not going to be able
to handle an allowance,"
Anderson said. "Most 6-
year-olds don’t fully under-
stand money because it's
still abstract to them."
Studies of children con-
ducted by Anderson and
others indicate that at some
point between the ages of 6
and 8 children develop the
cognitive skills for under-
standing money.
"Preschoolers make dici-
sions based on what looks
like more," Anderson said.
"To them, a nickel would be
considered more than a

teens, with most parents
giving allowances of less
than $10 a week to pre-
teens.
"A general rule of thumb
is to make an allowance
large enough to cover a
child's basic needs plus
some "extra" to permit an
opportunity to save or
spend, yet small enough to
dime because it ^ bigger. ^ some ndboiqfes," Gra-
novsky said. "This will help
the child develop decision-
making skills."
The only way children can
learn to manage money is to
have money to manage,
Anderson said. The hardest
part for parents is allowing
children the freedom to
make mistakes.
When young children see
siblings getting a weekly
allowance, they're usually
satisfied as long they get
something too, which can be
a quarter.
A good way to decide on an
allowance is to hold a family
conference, Granovsky
said. Keep in mind factors
such as the child's age, fam-
ily size and income, location
of residence, likes and dis-
likes and family routines.
Nationwide estimates of
allowances given range
from $1 a week for 4-year-

Nitroglycerin Relieves
Angina Pain
Nitroglycerin is a blood vessel
dilator medicine that is used to
prevent and/or reduce the severity
of discomfort and pain associated
with angina pectoris. Angina is
thought to be caused by an insuffi-
cient flow of blood through the
vessels of the heart Nitroglycerin
relieves chest pain by relaxing te ,
muscles that surround the bld^f
vessels in the heart, thus allowing
more blood and oxygen to reach
the heart.
Nitroglycerin in its various
dosage forms can cause brief or
temporary headache, facial and
neck flushing, weakness, and diz-
ziness. One may need to sit down
for a few minutes after taking ni-
troglycerin.
Sublingual Tablets: Small nitro-
glycerin tablets thatare to be placed
under the tongue are called sublin*
gual tablets. They should not iO1
swallowed. As the sublingual table? 9
dissolves, the medicine is absorbed
into blood vessels inside the mouth.
Pain may be relieved in 2 to 3
minutes.
wki mulcts aiiu capsules:
Long-acting oral capsules or tab-
lets may prevent angina pain for 8
to 12 hours.
Topical Dosage Forms: Nitro-
glycerin also may be absorbed
through the skin from an ointment
or a skin patch.
