A Financial WFocus
Mutual funds
recently asked me how to determine the value of his mutual fund. I explained how to read* his shareholder's statement antnipd his share balance. "But?how do 1 know how much each share is worth?” he asked. The answer is important to anyone who owns mutual funds. If you subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, you have a comprehensive daily list of mutual fund quotations. If you're not a journal subscriber, most major metropolitan newspapers carry a select listing of funds in the financial section. The funds are generally listed in standard format. Major management groups appear alphabetically in bold print. Under the group follows a listing of all funds that are managed by that group. This is their “family of funds.” For example, if you own any of the American Funds Group, look down the column until you see that group. Directly below are 13 mutual funds that the American Group publicly manages. The names of the individual funds, although abbreviated, are easily recognized. Once you've located your fund, the number to the immediate right is the net asset value per share (NAV). Since most mutual funds have no redemption charge, the NAV represents what you would receive for each share owned and redeemed on that particular day. The next number is the offering price. This price is the net asset value (NAV) plus the maximum sales charge, if any. The sales charge is based on the amount invested. The larger your investment, the smaller the sales charge. Funds vary, but that charge can range from a high of 8.5 percent of the offering price to a low of 1 percent. So, if your investment qualifies for the reduced charge, the amount you pay is less than the quoted offering price- . . A “N.L.” beside a fund in-

nil EBES
Q. I've heard so many things about hospitals. Medicare and DRG's. People say Medicare patients are forced to leave hospitals too soon. Is this true? A. Hospitals are now paid by what a person’s illness is — DRG's means “Diagnostic Related Groups”. A set fee is paid based on the average length of stay a person normally takes to get well. In some cases, people recover sooner than expected. In some cases a patient may need extra care. Releasing a patient is, of course, between a doctor and patient. There is a committee called a "Utilization Review Committee” that also looks at when the hospitalization is no longer necessary and informs the patient of this in writing. That decision is appealable and any person who feels they shouldn't be released, should request an appeal per the written notice. Q. Do I need to get a lawyer to take care of my Social Security hiicinpcc A. You. have the right to legal or other representation in any business with Social Security. However, in most cases it is not necessary.

Syracuse Emergency Medical Service was called to the Oakwood Estates Hotel at 10:27 a m. Thursday, April 24, when Elmer Smith, 64, r 3 Syracuse, beached his boat and complained of being ill.

from the fund's assets. You only know this if you carefully study the fund's prospectus, although “N.L.“ stands for “no load”, it’s not a guarantee there are no sales charges. The change in NAV is represented in cents and preceded by a plus or minus sign indicating the fund gained or lost in value that day. If there’s an unusually large drop in the fund's value, it may be due to a dividend or capital gain distribution. For example, if a fund pays a 50-cent dividend, the NAV decreases by that amount. Finally, should a (z) appear next to your fund, don’t panic. It simply means the newspaper was unable to get the quotation in time for publication. Remember, with a mutual fund, the value of its shares is important, but equally important is the number of shares you own. When a fund reinvests dividends and capital gains, your share balance increases. Don't undervalue your fund by omitting these added shares. 1 Mutual funds are designed and managed to meet long-term financial goals. They’re a financial asset you've entrusted to professional management, so daily monitoring is generally unnecessary. However, don't neglect any investment. Periodically review your financial goals and decide if your investments are still meeting those goals. Investment Term: Bid or Redemption Price — The price at which a mutual fund's shares are redeemed (bought hack) by the fund. The bid or redemption price usually means the current net asset value per share.

Common science —
Vaccinations: A line of defense
When certain types of bacteria or viruses invade the body and live off of it like a parasite, an infection results. Unbroken skin is a barrier to such disease causing organisms, and to a certain extent so are the mucous membranes of the digestive system and the lungs. Certain microbes, however, can penetrate the mucous membranes. Others can pass through breaks in the skin. If microbes get by this first line of defense, types of white blood cells are rushed in to attack. In addition to these general defenses against foreign invaders, the body also reacts in a very specific way to each separate type of infection. It produces antibodies, protein molecules that specifically fit each infecting agent and cause it to be neutralized. This reaction is called an immune response. Unfortunately, the immune response is at times too little and too late to prevent an infection. However, once we have had a disease we may find that we do not get it again. In effect, we are immune to it. Ideally it would be nice to gain this immunity before we get the disease, since the effects of certain diseases like polio or typhoid can be catastrophic. That is where vaccinations come in. In the early 1700 s, England's Lady Montagu, who had been severely scarred by small pox, accompanied her husband to Turkey. She discovered that Turks rarely got small pox. Turkish women collected material from the sores of persons with mild cases of small pox and placed it in walnut shells. Then they had “parties’’ where whole families would get the treatment. A needle was used to open a vein in a person and a small amount of the material was

removed from the walnut shell and placed in the vein. A very mild case of small pox would develop, but no scarring would occur and afterward, the person was immune to small pox. The Turks were vaccinating against smallpox! In 1796 an Englishman named Edward Jenner vaccinated a small boy with material from a cowpox sore. Several weeks later Jenner infected the boy with small pox and the boy did not get the disease. The extremely mild reaction to the cowpox was enough to provide immunity to small pox. Today vaccinia virus, a laboratory developed virus similar to small pox and cowpox, is used for small pox vaccinations. How does the vaccination work? The foreign invader, whether it be small pox virus or the bacteria that causes typhoid fever, is generally called an antigen. When an antigen enters the body, a type of white blood cells known as lymphocytes encounters the antigen. The body has millions of different types of lymphocytes. Only those few types that match precisely with the antigen will be stimulated to develop. Some of these cells will produce antibodies to neutralize the antigens. The process, however, is slow and the amount of antibody produced is not very much. That is the reason that a person generally gets a disease the first time it strikes. However, other lymphocytes will multiply and become memory cells. These cells “remember” the antigen. The next time the disease enters the body, the specific antibodies are made very rapidly and in large amounts. They neutralize the antigens and one does not get the disease.

The idea behind the vaccination, then, is to give one a mild case of the disease to stimulate the production of memory cells for that disease. If the disease is caused by a virus, the virus can be weakened by heat or chemicals where it will cause little or no infection and yet still stimulate the formation of memory cells. If the disease is caused by bacteria, either heatkilled bacteria or their chemically weakened toxins can be used as vaccines. Since the memory cells are specific only to that one disease, different vaccines must be given for each disease against which one wishes to be immune. Even then the immunity may not last a lifetime. If not. booster shots must be taken. Date packages Check your freezer for old foods before putting this year's packages in — also date all packages before putting them in your freezer.
