Nursery At Callander Has Thousands Of Visitors

The world-famous tonne quintuplets, Yvonne, Annette, Cecile. Emilie and Marie, are three years old to-day.

Going to see the quintuplets, it would appear, bids fair to be, the favourite outdoor sport of hundreds of thousands who are taking the long trek to the nursery at Callander, Ontario, where the five infants are at home to the child-loving world.

Their guardians, Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe and Judge J. A. Valin, are sensitive to the widespread and sincere affection aroused by the five and are ready to satisfy its demands insofar as the safety of the nursery permits.

The quintuplets are now old enough to find intense and varied enjoyment in the spacious outdoor playground "just outside the logca- bin nursery, which has been their home since they were a few weeks

old.

Wearing on warm days only bon- and the briefest of nets. shoes sun-sults, they wide gleefully in their pool, where Emille has made a special pet of a small green frog. Marle and Annette take particu-
