...revivified Sunset each month, Publisher Lane relies on slender, studious, Yankee-blooded William Ichabod Nichols. An ex-Rhodes scholar, he became an assistant Harvard dean (of freshmen) at the age of 22, and once helped elect a mayor of Cambridge, Mass. Now, at 33, Editor Nichols is a confirmed Far Westerner, likes nothing better than to print pictures of cacti and donkeys in the columns of reader-letters which he compiles every month under the heading "Sunset Gold." He gets some fairly flavorsome inquiries from his readership. Samples: "Dear Mr. Editor, I am troubled with buzzards. How can I shoo...

On the first broadcast the interviewers asked about prenatal care, got straight medical advice on sterility, the best age for child bearing, paternal and maternal hygiene, diet during pregnancy, danger of miscarriage...
...whole. Only a few very dull sequences have found their way into this latest, horsey attempt, and there are a few funny ones; but even if it were entirely dull, the feature would fully compensate. It was no accident that the title of Deanna Durbin's "That Certain Age" was taken from a song Ann Rutherford sang in "Love Finds Andy Hardy."
