Clipping from 3/7/1951

It will be 21 years this April since our "little sister" arrived but due to some mistake somewhere along the line had to be hastily rechristened "Joseph Sidney." Now it has happened again! Our oldest son's wife has another boy. The doctor had confidently predicted a girl and she was to be named Margaret Lynn. He had also predicted she wouldn't arrive for another week. In fact, he was right in only one prediction, it was not twins. And with all the boys' names there are, we are all too much surprised and bewildered to select enough for this husky babe.

The world is certainly going to the dogs. Six grandchildren and only the first one a girl. What kind of a law of averages is that? Write to your congressmen -- this must be amended! -- Hope.
