Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: A Healthy belt for a growing boy. A white-handed gibbon born Monday at Metro Zoo and abandoned by its mother is being raised by hand by zoo veterinarian Kay Mehren. She spent last night; her 12th wedding anniversary; feeding it every two hours with human baby formula from a regular baby bottle. It's in an incubator of the kind hospitals use for premature babies. Some staff members think the gibbon looks like the late film actor Peter Lorre; and that's probably the name the baby ape will be given. [Incomplete]
