Dr. Dafoe Announces to Confer- ence of Specialisti That Qi'irjtj Will Socn Be Living With Fnr- ent3 â€" Many Observaticna On Trip to Callander. The Dionne (|uintuplets may soon be jivinjf under the same roof as their parents and attending school and otherwise mi.xing with other chil- dren, Dr. A. U. Dafoc, informed more than 200 scientists and their friends in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, on Saturday night. His prediction of the complete change in early store for the world- famous 'ciuints", was made at a ban- quet at which he '.vas the gue^-.t of honor. A few hours previously. Dr. Dafoe had reported at a conference of the scientists that the five little Dionne girls under his care had over- come the handicap of premature birth and were nofmal children. Any Time Now Just when their removal from their present "fi;las.sed-in" life is to take place, the doctor would not say, but th'. 'jitimation was there that the new plans v/cro being studied care- fully and might be put into effect at any time. Science's two-day meeting to study the quintuplets moved into Callander on Sunday for a visit v,-ith the famous babies. Study at First Hand They went to Callander in a spec- ial train, spending ten and one-half hours travelling, to Iiave two hours at the Dafoe Nursery. They left To- ronto early Sunday mornin;. Saturday's day-long conference on the quintuplets was the first to bo held since the birth of the famous babies. Eight scientists of the Uni- versity of Toronto, to v.hom haJ been trusted tho long .study of tho cliild- ren, reported on their development in respect to routine Irai.nit^g. early so- cial development, mental growth, lan- guapfe <levelopment, self-discipline, liiolo?;ioal development, and phy.iical welfare. Suggestions were made at the han- (piet hy both Dr. Dafoe and Dr. Dun- can Mc.Arthur. Dejiuty Jlinister of Kducation, that mode! .schools miirlit follow the trainin'JT that had been giv- en llie (|ui;ituplets. Dr. Dafoe said that ho Iioped shortly to lie able to let the children mix with other chil Iron and that perhajis they might be able to attend a scliool near Cal!r.nJcr v.itli other chiliiren. "Like the Royal Family" 'M think it is fir better to tiain the children nimo.-it li!;e the Koyal family," said Dr. Dafoe. "N'o m:'.t- ter v.hat those childien do from now until the day they die, they will al- ways be the focus of attention, and they niiKht as well get accustomed to it." They would, however, be giv- en normal trainincf, in school and in other res|)ccts. To the afternoon conference. Dr. Dafoe and his brother. Dr. William A. Dafoe, reported: "The quints have at last overcome the handicap of pre- mature birth and are physically nor- mal. Their average weight is slight- ly above the avera^':e weight for chil- dren of their age. Their height is still a little under normal. Their chest rnea.surements <-.re above nor- mal." Yvonne I* Brighleit Regarding mental growth, Drs. W. E. Blatz and D. A. Millichamp report- ed: "The Cesell, Kuhlman and Merrill- Palmer tests were applied to the (luintuplels.

Gy ELIZABETH EEDY --^ i Finance Wis-id Kc.:Ign« Although Nazi officials dendicd that any decision regarding Dr. Iljalmar Horace Greeley Echucht, German Minister of Economics, had been reached, Dr. Schaclit considers him- r.elt discharged from ofii-e. The Min- ister, whose astounding feats of fin- ancial juggling the past few years have kept (iermany's economic affairs on a workable basts, has long been at variance with certain of the Nazi leaders. Trouble first came to a head with the institution of the four-year plan sponsorel by General Goering, the No. 2 Nazi. Asked about the Government's denial that he was leaving office. Dr. Sehacht said: "The official announcement of my resigna- tion will be made yesterday, today or tomorrow." The Minister desires al- so to withdraw from the presidency of the Rcichsbank, the Government agency for the control of German banking. What will Germany do without him? Ontario Trains Tcurist Caterers One of the newer vocations open- ing up for the young people of On- tario, especially now that tho tourist trade is becoming a major industry, is the tourist-catering profession. Starting later this month or early in December, a couise in wayside booth selling, advertising proper cabin ac- commodation and the care of over- night tourists will be made available to all young people intt^-ested, by tho Women's In.stitutcs Department of Ontario in connection with the National Employment Commission. Such a training will be of special u.sc lo young people in districts v.ell trav- elled by tourists which are yet poor farming country. "By All Honorable Means" Again the voice from the south heard above tho din of European s(|uabhling and preparing for war: "Wc. as a nation, ;;;e at pciie with all the world a:id for thr.t v. e are or three years v.ill be most .significant in vie-.v of the < uc-Uoiis which are r.nansv.crcd by T"i;e (!at:i collected lo date." Louse Inhabits Mouldy Voliimss Likss Dan.p Tomes in Sharp Con- trast to the book Worm The book huise, a tiny, almost trans- paronl Insect, has won a place on the list ot things city apartment dwellers worry about. Tho little fellow â€" no relation ot the book worm â€" already has rated an investigation of the U.S. Depart- m- ut of Agrlcultlro and seems about to become the object of a drivo by the nation's organized pest fighters. Reaches Nuisance Status Or. K, A. Back, of the biueaii of En- tomology said tlie louse has reached full-fledged nuisance status and cited reports of apartment house occupants breaking leases to get away from tho pests. The pest generally is seen on or In books which have become damp or mouldy. Technically, the insect Is a psocid and no louse at all. "They don't bite, they don't carry disease," ho declared. It Is now a traffic menace In Istan- bul to stop a person in tho street and as!; for a match. What Do :he "Doodle Boats" Do? thankful- We have no plans for conquest. To keep the peace is a fundamental policy of the United States. War will be avoided by all honorable means." Also in his Navy Day Letter, President Roosevelt warned that the United States wiM maintain a sea strength sufficient to â- 'ensure a righteous peace." Relief List Reduced Latest figures issued by Ottawa show that unemployment and relief have decreased during the past year in the Dominion of Canada. In SefA tember, 1937, there were 73,479 fe«*- er people on relief than in Septem- ber, 1936. Responsible for the drop are better times, provincial and mu- nicipal work projects, activities of the National Employment Commission, the land settlement plan under which unemployed are assisted in becomiiig established on farms. Belgian Cabinet Crisis • Premier Paul Van Zeeland resigned last week from the leadership of the Belgian Government in order to fig>}t the charges of Re.xist (Fascist) oppo- nents that he was mixed up in -a "national bank scandal." His cabinet resigned with him as a confidenrtj gesture. The resulting crisis in B^ gium forced the postponement of the nine-power conference which was fo have met in Brussels Saturday to fip/1 an "amicable" solution to the Sino- Jap embroglio. New Irrigation Projects At a cost of more than $100,00(T, two new projects for irrigating areas in the Canadian west have been an- nounced to be carried out under tlKS Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act. The Work will be done in the Brooks, .â- al- berta, irrigation district; and in thp Cypress Hills area of Southern Sas- katchewan. The Government schem'fe involves taking over the land at about SIO an acre and reselling it at thfe same figure. Land will be used fo/ placing farmers from poor lands. their • ..v..
