Medical-Advisor' Pelican Inspired By KU Jayhawk
A take-off from K.U.'s Jayhawk is now aiding Louisiana parents to take care of their offspring.
The new creature is "Pierre the Pelican" who carries a message of guidance every month for a year to parents of all first born babies in that state.
It all came about when Mrs. Lela Pyle Rowland, 25, and her husband, Dr. Loyd Rowland, director of the Louisiana Society for Mental Health, wanted a means of sending out monthly directives that would be more thoroughly read by parents.
They remembered the Jayhawk murals in Watkins Memorial hospital and sent for the drawings of them. An artist used the Jayhawk as a model and out of it all came Pierre, who is used by Dr. Rowland as a more interesting means of transmitting medical advice on child care.
Whether to pick up a crying child the effects of spoiling the baby, helping him to learn to talk—all these and many other problems are discussed by "old Dr. Pelican" in such a manner that they are read and reread by knowledge-seeking parents.
The series has attracted national attention with commendations appearing in the publication of the children's bureau of the Federal Security agency, in the American Journal of Public Health, in the
New York Times magazine and elsewhere.
Health bureaus of six other states, including Kansas, have started using the series on a statewide basis. Other states are using Dr. Pelican's releases in lesser quantities.
Love Emerges With Spring
Charles City, Ia. (U.P.)-Residents here don't depend on a premature robin to inform them that spring has arrived. They start dreaming of green grass and flowers whenever Bill Love comes out from behind his whiskers. Love gets his luxurious beard shaved off every year when warm weather arrives. Then he starts growing another crop of whiskers.

UNION PACIFIC EMPLOYEES ARE GOOD CUSTOMERS
In all eleven states served by Union Pacific live employees and their families whose incomes help stimulate business in their home towns.
