Margaret Clapp, new president of Wellesley College, was named woman of the year in the field of education. The eighth persident of the famous women's college in Massachusetts recently had won a. Pulitzer Prize for her scholarly biography, "Forgotten First Citi zen: John Bigelow ", and at the time of her appointment was an assist ant professor of history at Brook lyn College and a Wellesley alum na of the class of 1930. Named outstanding in the field of science was Dr. Margaret Mead, noted anthropologist and author of an impressive series of books, the latest "Male and Female". She is associate curator of Ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History.

But the Paramount studio in sists he's an ace baby sitter. In fact, the movie company al leges that man-of-the-world Lei sen thinks of himself as one of the few infant tenders in Hollywood who can soothe the little darlings when they crawl onto a sound stage. Not that ironclad California laws don't make sure that there are flocks of chaperones and atten dants on hand to safeguard the moppets. It's just that Leisen re fuses to pa;-w such chores on to others. Unless it's twins. Then assistant Johnny Corcoran gets to help. This hitherto-undiscovered side to the megaphoner's nature came to light during filming of "The Lie". A crucial moment in the pic ture shows a baby sleeping soundly in the arms of Barbara Stanwyck. To get the honor of being photo graphed thus, one or the other of the year-old Breidenthal twins, either Benise or Deborah, had to heed the call of the sandman. Problem Solved When the entire cast and crew of the movie was poised to film the scene, it turned out that neither little angel would doze off. Leisen rose to the occasion, how ever, grabbed Denise and turned Deborah over to Coonan. Through 15 minutes of absolute and high-priced silence, mute ac tors and stagehands watched the directorial team pace the floor with the babies. Denise finally went to sleep. But even before the signal for action, she bounced awake, again. The walkathon ' started anew, and this time the more co-operative Breidenthal miss proved the one to achieve a bit ot success be fore the camera. When Leisen, harried but tri umphant returned th hoKi. Mrs. Breidenthal. She ffraHntialu complimented both the director and his assistant on their Farm Income Tax Law Is Changed Income tax time soon will roll a round again for the nation's farm ers, reminds C. Brice Rathcford, in charge of farm management ex tension at State College. Two important changes in laws relating to filling returns and pay ing tax on farm income have been made during the past year, says Ratchford. He explains these chang es as follows: In past years farmers have been required to file an estimate of their income by January 15, pay on the basis of this estimate by , the same date, and make final re turn and payment by March 15. They still will be able to do this ; for the current income year. If they prefer, however, they may wait until January 31, making final 1 : hjhakKM.i..L. LT . ' I t-eturn and payment at that time. Another change is that If the farmer's business year does not end on December 31, he may file his return and pay his tax any time within 31 days after the close of his business year, or he may file an estimate within 15 days and make the final return and payment any time within two and a half months. The latter change, however, will not effect most North Carolina farmers, since a majority of them close their business year at the end of the calender year. Ratchford points out that every one whose 1949 income was more than $600 before expenses were deducted, must file a return re gardless of whether he has to pay any tax. Necessary forms may be obtain ed from the nearest collector of in ternal revenue or the local bank or post office. Forms needed are 1040-F and 1040; 1040-ES for fil- Sing a song I Of candle rtf Christmas nnfl Sinn a S0)WmskF. m ttx , i- - I w3 fi;M$W& ft . xaf ' 1 - i Am ' I Vhy'j Of children's voicesgay and sweet . wirn nnseiiea toys ana angeis . . ana ,,l,,,vv,' ' -Sing a song of happiness c5 hope and joy and love m Vienna Police Take On Translation Job VIENNA (UP) Austria in its drive to capture some of its old tourists, has re-instated a helpful system with its police officers in downtown Vienna.
