THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1935 *Papa” Ontario Is Diligently Looking| —— Hopes of Rich Apple Harvest Turned to to Dust After Quins’ Health and Happiness] {. Government Acts to Pr { vent Their Being Exploited By MARY MARGARET McBRIDE (NEA Service Staff Correspondent) (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Tne) Callander, Ont., April 16.—The fam- ous Dionne quintuplets, though ra- pidly approaching the great a . one year, ate still too young to aware that the most. important etn: cials of their native Ontario spend anxious hours in conference about their welfare. And they are, of course, blissfully unconscious of the fact that there has been considerable argument from time to time about the | kin disposition of their persons, Such discussion raging about their innocent, downy heads means less than nothing now to Yvonne, Annette, Ce- eile, Emelie and Marie, though its cutcome has vitally affected their. fu- ture lives. ‘The quins are completely absorbed at the moment in the important bus- mess of getting pinker, healthier and more grown-up every ‘They have three brand-new teeth among them and another is expected any minute, probably in the pink mouth of Cecile, though there are some bets laid on Yvonne to repeat her earlier triumph. Yvonne can pat-a-cake. She also makes abortive efforts to wave her hand. Annette can raise herself on her head and heels without touching her body to floor or hed. Cecile’s and Emelie’s new trick is rather frowned upon by the community. They have taken to sucking their thumbs and have to wear little pink knitted gloves every night, much to their dis- gust, Marie has just discovered that she can make enchanting conversa- tion with herself and she bab-bab- babs vivaciously all day long. eee To see the fortunate five sprawling contentedly in their play pens or sleeping whole-souledly in their sun- ny nursery, you would suppose that hurt feelings, worry and unhappiness ‘were more remote from these chubby human miracles than from any ba- bies in the world. Except for time out for naps, they literally coo and kick and laugh from the time they wake up at five in the morning until they fall asleep exhausted at seven every night. ‘Their health is superb now. They ‘They have devoted attendants, per- fect care and what seems an ideal ex- istence in their own little house, built with special reference to their own convenience. They even adore their baths and don’t mind being washed behind the ears. But across the road in the home of their parents, a different atmosphere prevails. Unrest is there and be- wilderment. The parental pride of Elzire and Oliva Dionne has been stirred by suggestions of certain ad- visors that the control of their uni- que offspring has been unfairly taken from them through the establishment of the guardianship. They forget that but for the genius of Dr. A. R. Dafoe not only the children but the mother would probably have perish- ed at the birth and that only the ex- pert care the babies have received could have pulled them through their first uncertain months. see “Why shouldn't Dionne and his wife have the sole sayso about their own children?” indignantly inquires Leo Kirven, one of Dionne’s two man- agers, each of whom would collect 20 * per cent commission from money . earned by the quintuplets if they ‘were returned to the custody of their parents. “Why should the government step —_—__ jUMMON STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA, COUN- ay OF BURLEIGH.

No, you are allowed to work it and make what you can out of it!” Probably the best explanation of the government's attitude toward the ip is to be. found in that very arutais of Kirven's. Ontario's Minister of Public Welfare, Canada is proud of the fact that it has in the quintuplets a pheno- menon until now unknown to scien- tific history. The government re- Lachine dh aed age trust, of ‘world importance, to be protected | the = harmful exploitation of every onrblats and others who have in- terested themselves in the children be- eve that all personal considerations must be unselfishly shelved where the babies’ interests are involved. The quintuplets’ protectors are determined that the youngsters shall not be taken ‘away from the health-giving air of their birthplace to be exhibited as curiosities to the public. In deference to the affectionate interest felt in them by their own community, the quins for several Sun- days “received” between the hours of 2 and 3, That is, visitors weve allow- ed to look at them through a window. But even those levees have been called off now. I can understand why. On the last jof these visiting days, I watched four hundred sightseers file across the quintuplets’ private veranda and peer eagerly through a window at the ba- bies, arrayed in white dresses, ami rubber dolls in their play pens. eee ‘The children have now reached the noticing stage. And feeling strangers’ eyes upon them, they dropped their toys and stared with ten big hazel eyes at the guests. That night they had a nervous reaction from too much company and immediately Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, their doctor and one of their legal guardians, ordered that there are to be no more Sunday visit- ors for the present. In the same way, the protectors promise everything that interferes in the slightest degree with the quintuplets’ welfare will be prohibited. ‘The babies’ parents are free to vis- it the hospital. Mrs. Dionne is free to play with them, and to assist in ‘bathing them and dressing them. ‘The babies’ house, by the way, was built by the government, not from their own funds, and though they have now earned a neat little sum, many of their expenses have been borne by the government and the Red ‘Cross up to the present time. Although the babies seem now so happily healthy, Dr. Dafoe explains that, as in the case of all premature babies, special care must still be tak- en of them for some time to come. Everybody immediately asks: “Are the quins as cute as their pictures?” The answer is yes, and cuter. They are picture babies, long-iashed, dimp!- ed, rose-petal skinned. You could watch their antics for hours and never get over the fascination of there be- ing five of them, so alike that as soon @s you think you have one spotted, you immediately mix her up with some other one. Marie, being small- er than her sisters, comes nearest to being identifiable, but she is gaining so rapidly now that. soon even that small advantage will be lost to the ob- server. ee 8 Marie, by the way, is the family alarm clock. She wakes up every morning at 4:15 and lies in her bed, singing to herself, and playing with her fingers, or making a little noise in her throat that means she wants Nurse Yvonne Leroux to hurry and unpin her so she can kick. The babies are tubbed twice a day, morning and evening, and they can all paddle around now in the water and prac- tically stand on their heads in the tub without the slightest fear. Cecile is the prize swimmer. After they are fed and dressed for the day, their nurses take them away on an inspection tour of their spick ‘and span house. They “review” their peje two handsome Prov- incial policemen who are on duty day and night to see that no harm comes | to the five. Then they are put into their prams and allowed to sleep on the veranda until time for their luncheon. to see if she is noticing, then laugh- ing heartily when she catches them up. So well trained are the babies that their laundry has been reduced from 180 pieces a day to about 75, greatly to the gratification of their house- keeper who through the winter has Lhe? well kept their yards of clothes line filled. The only disappointment the quins have brought to their nurses is that their hair just won't curl, do what you will with it. The babies have just discovered one another and Yvonne and Annette particularly are pals.

Editor, Tribune: To the “Reader” who wondered if there was some method by which type- writer ribbons might be re-freshened T would suggest the use of some oil. T have tried it with satisfactory re- sults. Care must be taken that too much oil is not used. I poured the oil on a cloth and run the ribbon through this. This may not always be practical but I think the writer would. find it worth trying. An Occasional Typist. FERA Engineers Are Speeding Dam Work Supplementing water conservation projects of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the dam building program of the FERA is gradually enlarging, Harris Robinson, chief engineer an- nounced Thursday. Applications for dams have been received from 213 different localities in the state, Robinson said. Surveys have been made of 202 applications and 151 of these projects have been approved, Draftsmen in the engineering de- partment have completed designs for’ 86 new dams on which work now is commencing. Thirty-one dams have been under construction for the last two months while work on 63 other dams has been delayed by adverse weather conditions. Thirty-seven dams have been com- pleted in recent months, Robinson de- clared which, combined with 242 dams constructed by the CCC in 1933 and 1934, makes a total of 279 new reser- voirs of moisture for the state.
