While awaiting the birth of my 4th child about 5:30pm on New Year's eve 1966, the Dr. came in and said,"Well, shall we go for the New Year gifts, or the deduction?" My husband & I both spoke up "The deduction" which in that day was $600. I believe.
We got that and our only son. I remember waking up back in my room after midnight and hearing someone outside hollering "Happy New Year!"
