Bonny, bouncing François Lejeune, six months old, was one of those babies whose pink bottoms are easily irritated. Like many other French mothers, Mrs. Lejeune sprinkled the tender parts with Baumol baby powder. But instead of getting better, tiny François got redder, ran a fever and cried incessantly. The doctor said it was 1) colic, 2) teething, 3) oversensitive skin. Mrs. Lejeune rocked the baby, carried him about, bathed him and dusted him with Baumol.

As a result, editors have been cutting or killing many of his columns. Last week Winchell announced a plan to stop the mayhem. He will set aside two days a week...
...further advantage in the specialized library--its librarian. She is usually an invaluable aid to a department, since she keeps track of new books, informing the faculty and students of their release. And if a book happens to be out, a divisional librarian provides more than a pink slip; she is able to tell exactly who has the book and where he lives, a service which has rescued many a harried thesis-writer...
