No Entry in Baby Derby Yet Three full days of 1962 have passed without any concrete no tice of any addition to the popu lation of Cass county. Either the stork is running on a late schedule or the parents of new babies are keeping It very quiet. True . . . there have been rumors. An employee of The Journal was called by telephone and told that the sister-in-law of the party calling had a new baby. Radio reports included an early 1962 baby out in the county . . . but no one has stepped for ward and laid claim to the gifts offered by Plattsmouth mer chants to the first 1962 baby born to Cass County parents. It should be remembered that all entries must be certified to The Journal office by Jan. 15. The entry information should include the name of the parents, their residence address, the place where and the exact min ute the baby was born, its weight, sex and name, if chosen. This if.forma. ion must be at tested by the doctor in the case Rumors don't count . . . the Journal must have written proof! m order to make the awards ol gifts offered bv these merchants.
