Surviving Dionne Quints Will
Observe 21st Birthday Saturday
Callander, Ont. OJ.PJ The
four surviving Dionne quintup
lets will turn 21 Saturday with
out a matrimonial prospect in
sight.
They have never had a date.
Though they are just now "com
ing of age," they have always
seemed older than their years.
They live already in an atmos
phere of spinsterhood.
One thing is sure. The Dionne
sisters won't have to look to a
husband for support.
When Annette, Cecile, Marie
and Yvonne celebrate their 21st
birthday Saturday, each will re
ceive about 5200,000 from the
money they earned from adver
tising and movie contracts when
they and their sister Emilie, who
died last August, were the
world's most famous little girls.
"I don't know what to do with
the money," Yvonne said recent
ly. "I'm not interested in it right
now." She and Cecile are too
busy with nurses training. Their
birthday will find them on night
duty at a convent hospital in
Montreal.
Studying Music
Annette will have her birthday
at a convent school, also in Mon
treal. She is studying piano, and
practices four hours a day. This,
plus her other studies, doesn't
leave much time for social life.
Marie, who wanted to become
a nun but gave up after eight
months as a homesick novice, is
at home helping care for her
mother, who is convalescing
from an operation.
The fifth quintuplet Emilie
died last Aug. 6 at a rest home
of the Oblate Sisters of Mary
Immaculate. She suffocated in
her bed during an epileptic fit.
Her doctor said she could have
lived only a few years longer
because of an enlarged pituitary
gland.
But the other four girls, born
to Mrs. Elizer Dionne in a Cal
lander farmhouse on May 28,

Alaska Flight Permits
Washington U.P.) President
Eisenhower has requested the
Civil Aeronautics Board to grant
five-year certificates to Alaska
Airlines and Pacific Northern
Airlines for flights between the
United States and Alaska.
The CAB had recommended
three-year certificates.
But Mr. Eisenhower, in a let
ter to CAB Chairman rtoss Riz
ley, said he feels that a five-year
certificate would give the lines
a better opportunity to finance
the purchase of new equipment
on a sounder basis than offered
by three-year certificates.
Presidential Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty made it plain
that the White House expects the
CAB to comply. Hagerty said he
did not know whether, under
law, the board could turn down
the "request."

They are deeply religious, and

counted five new hungry mouths,
and when voracious promoters

agreement to exhibit the quints
at the Chicago world's fair.
He got $100 and lost the cus

Ontario government voided the
world's fair contract, made the
quints wards of the crown, and
saw to it they were raised with
hygenic dignity.
Nurses watched their every
move. Dr. Dafoe installed them
in a special hospital, a fortress
against germs and tourists. The
quints were cautiously displayed
to cameramen, they gave their
names to dolls, and the money
poured in.

'Expenditure of Energy' Explanation
Given for Illnesses Lacking Cause
By DELOS SMITH
United -Press Science Editor
New, York (U.R) A doctor
who has been harassed for al
most 0 years by "well" persons
who feel sick, passed along a
little tip today concerning them
to his fellow sufferers meaning
doctors.
The advise: Check whether
these sick "well" people aren't
merely overtaxing the stamina
that nature built into their
bodies.
The author of this tip, Dr. Sol
Hirsch, is known in medicine as
the father of the "expenditure
of energy" explanation of many
illnesses that seem to have no
visible cause.
In his newest advocacy, he
characterized as "banalities" and
"medical bromides" such expla
nations of illness as "constitu
tional inadequacy," "general de
bility," and "psychosomatic."
More often than not, he said, the
body merely was being required
to spend its energy faster than
its ability to produce energy and
to store, it against future de
mands. In-Take Out-Put
Writing in the New York State
Journal of Medicine, he said
every one has a level at which
energy in-take balances vith en
ergy out-put, leaving more en
ergy in reserve. This level varies
from person to person.
"I believe," he continued, "that '
the level of energy expenditure
is an inherited characteristic,
and we may categorize individ
uals as those with optimal, av
erage, and minimal levels of
energy expenditure.
"This is not to say that an op
timal is immune to becoming a
'well patient who feels sick. If
the optimal consistently over
spends down to his level of
energy expenditure, he runs the
same risk as does the minimal
or average who consistently
overspends. By the same token
a minimal need never become
the 'well' patient who feels sick
as long as he lives within his
own level of energy expendi
ture. "He need not bewail his lot.
Too few of us, including opti
mals, ever reach our potential
anyway, whether it be physical

'Unavoidable and Avoidable'
He divided the causes for an
individual's spendthrift dealings
with his energy level into the
"unavoidable" and the "avoid

The physician can correct or
at least minimize these unavoid
able causes. The avoidable ones
are for the "well" person to deal
with himself. Among these he
listed faulty eating, "unneces
sary speeding in all activities,
poor rest and sleep habits, ex
cesses in sex, drinking, and
smoking."
"Overlapping" these, he said,
was "disregard for individual re
quirements in . the rhythm of
daily work and rest and play
and rest play 'in the category
includes exercise and consistent
overwork or overplay."
