Looks delicious, doesn't it? But the cake above isn't for
eating, though it was frosted by Gottlob Walker with as much
loving care as he gives his most toothsome masterpieces.
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the March of Dimes,
the cake above is one of two made of posterboard, to be
"frosted with silver". Dime boards are also cake-shaped this
-year. Admiring Gottlob's handiwork is Mrs. Oliver Chase.

Isn't she a beauty? Since we can't yet give you a picture
of Miss 1963 (Nora Jean Brillhart is still in her incubator,
but thriving), we offer, above, Miss 1962, who was also an
incubator baby — and look at her now! She is LeAnne Milkey,
daughter of the Emil Milkeys, Saline's firstborn last year.
She weighed just three pounds 10 ounces at birth, as compared to Nora Jean's three pounds four. One year makes a
mint of difference.
The photo, by the way, is by Lanny Robbins, who has
also offered a free natural color photograph of Miss 1963 —
when she's ready to receive visitors.
