BABY SURPRISES
 MEDICAL STAFF

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 7.-(UP)- Snub-nosed Mary Ellen Olin rolled contentedly in her crib at home to- day, unaware she had excited the medical profession by surviving her 14-weeks' premature birth, believed to be a record. Mary Ellen, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. George w. Olin, this city, was born Aug. 24. more than three months before she was scheduled to arrive. Attending phy- sician Louis Antupit at St. Francis's hospital did not weigh the child at birth because she could not be ex- posed any longer than necessary before being placed in an incubator.
 He believed, however, she could not have weighed much more than a pound. Ten days after birth, Mary Ellen tipped the scales at one pound 10 ounces. For two months, the child lived in the incubator, being fed evaporated milk, dextrose -mal- tose, brandy and water from a medi- cine dropper. Frequent transfusions of her mothers and fathers blood were made. Today, Mary Ellen weighs a bit Liore than six pounds, five ounces, and her condition was pronounced excellent.

BIG CROWD HEARS
 GLACIER PRIEST
Illustrated Catholic High Lecture on Alaska De-
 lights Audiences

A large and rapt crowd at the Waterbury Catholic high school au- ditorium last night enjoyed lec- ture by Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, 8. J., '"The Glacier Priest" on his Alaskan experiences. Illustrating his lecture with slides and moving pictures, Father Hubbard described the beauties and phenomena of Alaska.
 The lecture was arranged by the Notre Dame Alumnae association. The committee of arrangements was in charge of Miss Mary Agnes Cor den. Clergymen and prominent cit- izenS served as patrons and patron esses for the lecture. Yesterday aft- ernoon, Father Hubbard 1ectured before an audience composed main- ly of children and religious. He was introduced last night by Rev. Fran cis M. O'Shea, administrator of the Church of the Immaculate Concep- tion. At the afternoon lecture, the introductory remarks were given by Rev. George Reilly, assistant at the Church of the Immaculate Concep- ton.
 Belief that a hitherto unknown island lies in the Arctic was voiced by Father Hubbard. AS evidence he cited a mysterious migration of birds each year, presumably to an undis- covered island. Recently, he said, the body of an Eskimo, dressed in apparel of a style two centuries old, was found floating in the seas. Father Hubbard believes that the island may be inhabited by strange tribe of Eskimos.
 He described the plans made for an expedition of exploration ar- ranged for next year. The members of his party will use 8 new radio beam direction finder, which enables them to follow a set course in a land where compasses and sextants are almost useless.
 Of interest were pictures of the annual salmon run, taken in Alaska as the fish fought their way hum dreds of miles up inland streams The operations of catching, cooking canning and shipping the salmon were shown. He told of the tremen- dous size of some of the salmon schools. one of them being 12 miles wide and taking 28 days to pass a given point.
 Alaska he described as one of the nest beautiful places in the world He cited the many possibilities oi the country. most of which have been scarcely at all developed.
