...learn from experts how to handle their own children; second, to reach other parents and pass the knowledge along. Mrs. Davidson showed how well she had learned when Patty began to walk at 16 months (many blind babies still crawl at 24 months). She learned to teach Patty to feed herself. "You stand behind the youngster," she explains, "and ease her into a regular rhythm-dip, slide, and in the mouth; dip, slide, and in the mouth." Last summer Mrs. Davidson got Patty, 2½, accepted in a nursery school with normal children...
...clucking, cackling boom is Jesse D. Jewell, 49, who started raising chickens in a rickety wooden shed, 16 years ago. Today, with 2,000,000 chickens under his wing, Jesse Jewell, according to trade-association estimates, is the biggest U.S. chicken raiser. Every week, 30 carloads of chicken feed, worth $90,000, roll into Jewell's Gainesville headquarters; every week 150,000 chickens, killed and dressed, roll out to U.S. and foreign outlets. Last year Jewell grossed $12 million...

It prints past performances, charts and ratings, perhaps half a million digits each day, a printing task which would stagger most newspapers. But its reports seldom err.

Example: A line on one of the entries in the second race at Florida's Tropical Park one day last week carried this report on Stormy Ruth, a two-year-old bay filly by Little Beans-Witchwater, by St. James, bred by J. Tucci, trained by M. Fife...
Colonial's biggest business is in summer over its northern routes (see map). By merging, the lines would feed passengers into each other all the way from Havana, Cuba, equalize year-round traffic. CAB will probably approve the deal since it has been prodding Colonial to merge with another airline as a way out of its troubles. In 1951, Colonial pulled out of the red for the first time in five years with the help of a $13-per-ton-mile payment for carrying air mail v. 54? per ton mile to National operating on more profitable mail routes...
