When little Richard Dawson was born, 11½ months before this picture was taken, he weighed oniy 2¼ lbs. As a premature baby, he had to stay in hospital for nine weeks, some of which he spent in the "incubator". Now Richard is a chubby 171b 14oz and doing well, which just goes to show what love and care will do. He is the son of Mr and Mrs John Dawson, 12 Oman Road, Kaiti.
