Urges Unity In Game
And Fish Development
(Continued From Page One)
Is very well acquainted with the sit
uation In both Union and Wallowa
counties.
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!"
