                Father, 60, Mother, 25, Have "Wonder Baby"

Bernice, La., Oct. 13 – North Louisiana boasts of a "Wonder Baby."

   The nine months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. McClung, of Bernice, owns 
13 perfectly formed teeth, weighs 45 pounds, is 42 inches in height, has long silky 
hair and physicians claim her physical development is equal to that of a normal 
3-year-old child.

   Physicians interested in the prodigy declare they are at a loss to understand 
her rapid development, in as much as she weighed only six pounds at birth.

   The child's father is 60 years of age and the mother 25.
