1962 Already Shows Oddities All Its Own
A 2 day old hippo in the Bronx Zoo born New Year’s Day under water weighs 50 to 60 pounds and remains sex undetermined. The first baby of 1962 in Tesco County Michigan is unnamed but surnamed First, child of Airman 10 and Mrs Larry First. In Peekskill New York a hospital reports the year’s first baby born to Mrs Dorlin Kall. A Vermont front page offer to pay funeral expenses for motorists who die over the holidays drew no takers. In Maryland a New Year’s Day open house with Gov Tawes ends with demonstrators returning to protest equal dining rights.
