Shots of thyroid or pituitary hormones enable a dwarf to fit into a man-sized suit of clothes, a young boy to sing basso profundo. Spectacular as the results of hormone treatment may be, doctors are still in the dark about the exact size of the injection in many unusual cases, have dared to administer only conservative amounts of hormone over long periods of time. Last year Physiologists R. Deanesly and Alan Sterling Parkes of the National Institute for Medical Research at London grew tired of performing innumerable injections in their laboratory, decided that they needed a "laborsaving device."

As a boy he worked on a wheat farm in Saskatchewan, got a first-hand knowledge of soil problems. A shrewd banker with an incredible memory for figures, Governor Hill still talks like the farmer he was born in Kansas...
...Bruin Coach, little McLaughry, Jr. Austen Lake has called him "a lean, strapping 197-pounder with the same angular put-together and legginess of his sire, though swarthier in complexion and a brunet in place of his dad's blondness." That's quite a mouthful, but then this boy will have to be good, for the Bear ends are only fair, and the rest of the Bear line is going to have quite an afternoon tomorrow
