AUCKLAND, N.Z., Jan. 5.

A NEW ZEALAND BABY has just gained the distinc- tion of being the world's youngest air traveller.

Baby Connell was born at Great Barrier Island, off the north of New Zealand, at 4 a.m. yesterday,

She was premature, and fears were entertained that she would not live unless she received medical attention. A radio S.O.S. was sent to Auckland, from where a plane was immediately despatched to the isolated spot.

With her mother, Baby Connell, only a few hours old, was brought to Auckland.

She is now in the Katane Hospital, where she is sleeping happily in a controlled-temperature cot.
