In the past the trend has been too much toward letting Union county handle Its problems, Wallowa county handle its problems and Baker coun ty handle its probloms, he said, point ing out that the problems of all three are so closely related they may bo regarded as tho same. La Grando should mako an effort, ho said, to work with tho smaller communities and cities in this dis trict for the common good of all, and he pointed out that this 1b La Grande's obligation since it is the largest city In Union and Wallowa counties. Development of fishing In the Wallowa river, Burleigh said, would be a good point on which to start. Ho regards this stream as having wonderful possibilities for develop ment in relation to trout fishing. Dionne Quintuplets Continue To Gain (Continued From Page One) and practical wisdom brought the quintuplets safoly through the un likely chance of their birth, has al ready been here. Ho will be back, again at evening. Twice each day he comes to attend the tiny girl-children whose survival is a modern miracle. Each One In Incubator The babies lie in a spare room off the kitchen, each in her wooden, glass-covered individual Incubator. Every morning at eight thoy are taken from the Incubators and given an oil bath, the oil gently owabbod on skin that Is too tender to stand soap and water. Tho beds In tho in cubators are given a complete change. Every three hours the babies are fed with a dropper equipped with a rubber nipple on tho end. The nurses gently force tho (feeding if the, babes do not tako the prescribed amount of warm mothers' milk which consti tutes their ration every 24 hours. The droppers are like an eye-dropper, but with a barrel about tho size of a banana. ( Mostly, the quintuplets sleep. For 16 or 17 hours of the 24, they sim ply sleep. Even now. after more than two months of llfo, they are smaller than many a new-born babe. Their premature birth, earlier than normal by nearly two months, started them out under a tremendous handicap which they are only now overcoming. It Is tills long sloop between feed ings that Is giving them the chance to build up toward the sought-for normal. I Identical In Looks I They all look alike. Not only are they Identical "twins," but no one here knows which was tho oldest. In the confusion attending their birth, tho babies were not marked in order of their delivery, and no one will ever know, probably, which is the oldest. Already, however, thoy have de veloped Individual characteristics, and the nurses say they can tell by the way they react to the oil swabs during their dally baths, whether It j Is Yvonne or Cecils that Is being j bathed, Yvonne Is the plumpest; Ceclte Is - the most vigorous, and stretches most; Marie has a tumor ous growth on one leg tliat received radium treatments the other day. , Everything about the little rough-1 plastered room shows the influence of modern science and lnvcnlton. No money haa been spared to give these babies a better-than-usual chance to live and thrive. Red Cross Pays mils The Red Cross has assumed the cost of food, medical attention and clothing for at least two years longer if necessary. The Ontario provincial government has named four official guardians for the tiny girls for two years lifting from the father the burden of business pro posals and arrangements that have flooded the cottage. The Red Cross even plans to build a small hospital struoturo near the Dionne home, fully equipped with the most modern children's hospital equipment, and Its own power plant to provide heat and light, neither of which Is available in the present Dionne home. Once removed to such a special building, better and more orderly care could be assured the quintuplets, and life could get back to something like normal in the Dionne home, where five older bro thers and sisters of the quintuplets must not be forgotten. A sixth child died. : i i "People Are 8o Nice" Tho family is being -well cared for. Gifts pour In from all parts of the United States and Canada. Through special permission of the Canadian government, gifts from the United States are being allowed to enter duty free. Scientists, doctors, sympathetic folk great and small, have all contributed to make tilts ibustllrTg place one of the happiest households In the world. Tho Di6nnes, skyrocketed, overnight from obscurity and poverty to fame and plenty, are beginning to emerge from their first bewilderment Into a typical French-Canadian Indifference to notoriety. And Mrs. Dionne can now smile sweetly and say In quaint broken English, of which she speaks very little: "People are so nice!"
