DIONNE QUINTUPLETS, five phenomenal daughters of Oliva and Elzire Dionne, born near Callander, Ontario, May 28th, 1934. The attending physician was Dr. Allan Dafoe. These chil dren, weighing collectively but pounds six days after their premature birth, were rescued from the hazards and handicaps of freak exploitation by the Government of Ontario, which made them King's wards. Against all precedent, the five continued to thrive through childhood. See plate, TWINS AND TWINNING.
