It was just short of 4 o'clock in the morning of May 28 and there was hardly a trace of coming dawn acrosg thes tump dotted “bush country.” ‘ - Dr. Dafoe, at the wheel, was not Ipu_t out by the blackness of the hour, He was used to that. You l don’t practice, healing soy 26 vears [‘among the sturdy French-Cana- I dians of this section without get | ting used to irregular hours. | " Now he could see the kerosene lamp-lighted windows of the un painted frame house of Oliva Di ‘onne. Dr.;Dufoe mused on the .case before him. *Too bad he had n’t héen called edrlier. Prenatal care is sketchy in thig country, ~but still Mrs. Dionne wWasn't in. very good shape; he'd found traces of a kidney ailment when Dionne ‘had called him in a week hefore. So he insisted on “staying with” the case. Vi 13§Tere Dionne wasn’t an unkind man. People here seldom call the doctor until things look pretty bad. And Mrs. Dionne!'s five children had all been delivered without any particylar difficulty, and ghe back in the kitchen ' after three days each time. : “Near-Miracie” Disclosed - Dr. Dafoe pulled up to the cot tage, entered it—to find (and help bring about) & modern miracle. Two babies &alréeady had been born, and lay in a ‘¢lothes-basket hastily improvised as a cradle. A third, under ministrations of Mrs. Alex Legros, a neighbor woman who had come in to act as mid wife, was -in process of being delivered. e ! ‘Mrs. Legros, herself a mother of many' children and’ assistant at the birth of many more, was vast 1y relieveq at seeing Dr. Dafoe. In fact she_ was visibly trembling. With ' relief, she left the case to ¢ool, business-like Dr. Dafoe, and turned to the threée children al ready delivered. She lit the stove, turned up the wicks of the kero séne lamps, and assembled the babes in a temporary eérib built from a clothes-basket, The ‘mother was unconscious, and Dr. Dafoe’s problem was a difficult one. Each of the remain ing two babes was found to be enclosed in anniotic sacs, moving about freely in the fluid which filled these membranous éontain ers, and it was necessary for the physician to open these coverings and remove the tiny body from each, ' ; The Dawn Baptism . Dr. Dafoe turned mnow to his desperate fight ‘for the life of the Extension Clothing Specialist Meets Home Demonstration Club Wednesday By ANN DOLVIN A most interesting lecture and demonstration wag given at -the Hinton-Brown school building on Whednegday aftérnoon by = Miss Franceg McLanahan, extension specialist in clothing. Preceding the demonstration, the clothing program was reviewed. Since cloth ing is "the emphasis project in Clarke county this year, it was necessary ‘first to outline the work fur the year. “!'One of the first thingg to be con sidered is the spending plan, and ‘the club slogan is “My Intelligent Clothing Dollar.”” There are three types of huying: (1) The emotion al buyer buys before congideration becaudé her first impression was good and she wants the garment. (2) Then there is the economiecal buyer who studies only the dollar and its Value. (8) Best of all is the intelligent buyer who spends her money wisely. A good exam ple of thig type is the home maker who Studies ready made garments with reference to brand, comforts. cost, and- lasting qualities and compares them with the garment made at home. In most cases the garment made at home from a good grade of material wil] outlast the ready made garment two to one. It is not a bad idea, how ever, to follow the designs in ready made garments. A good way to get a good fitting shirt pattern is t 6 buy the ready made shirt and rip it up for the pattern. Another important feature in the clothing’ program 'is- home sewing. The club slogan is “Satisfaction and Self Expression through Home Sewing!’ The success of the spend ing plan depends upon the skil] of the home maker in sewing and re modeling. It is necessary to select good and suitable material, to know how to cut and fit founda tion patterns. Select the simple design remembering that elabo rateness is often lost in design. The garment should be fit well for comfert and appearance. Always avoid the cheap conspicuous trim ming. Good _workmanship in the details of finishes is very important and adequate equipment is neces- 19 .- Mrs. Calvin Coolidge was a good home maker and a person of much charm and personality, When in vited to 5 party she wag asked to bring her hand work whether it be Eknitting, crocheting, or embroidery. She did not care for cards but said her sewing equipment was a com fort which kept her to the course. ’ Sewing may not bring about peace among natione but it can bring !ahout peace in the home. This work should never be thought of ras a drudgery but as a real art. ' The care of clothing is of great importance and should be the re sponsihility of every member of the family. It is well to have this tvpe discussed briefly in each of our clnb meetings. Such factors as tvpe of work health, age and social life will de termine the ‘“Well Dressed Per son.” This person should plan her outfit carefully, practice good pCa ture every day, be well groomed. neat, in appearance, get plenty of. THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA mother, who had previously pe vealed a condition of nephritic toxemia, and who was now .far down in the shadow of death. . As the gray sunrise light began to engulf the yellow glow of the oil lamps, Dr. Dafoe, 2 Protestant, ‘baptized the children in the Ro man Catholic faith of the parents, using the Latin ritual. He had often done it before, as it is some times difficult to summon a priest in this sparsely settled country, and this morning no one Kknew how near death might be. In fact, early efforts centered on saving the life of Mrs. Dionne. Few believed that all, or any of the babies could live, for no ' set of quintighlets has ever lived un broken. by death for more than a few hours. But Dr. Dafoe was not the kind that gives up. He took over all ‘arrangéments. The five older Dionne children Were placed with neighbors. And the best hospital arrangements pos gible were rigged up on short no tice within the- little house.r The World Astounded Dionne was thunderstruck when first told that he had five new daughters. "I ought to be put in jail,” he muttered. Then pride tame to his rescue. He thought something ought to be gut in the papers about it. After all, five was pretty unusual. He had his brother call a local newspaper. “How muth would it cost,’’ he asked, “to have an item put in the paper about five habies being born ?"* i y How little it ecost was ' soon elear. For tlie ' newdpaper flash brought an immediate deluge of telegrams, inquiries, congratula tions, suggestions, = pouring 'into Corbeil. Within 24 hours two of fers were received to exhibit the babies ‘at the Chicago World’s Fair, ] But there was more important work at the Dionne home. Feed ing for the youngsters was devis ed with medi¢ine droppers hold ing cow’s mlik amg ‘corn | syrup. Then all the French-Canadian mothere of thé mneighborhood who could serve as wet-nurses came in and offered their help. On the second day, 4s the won dér grew that the quintuplets were still' alive, an incubator ar rived from a Chicago newspaper, and a ¢ontainer ‘of mothers” milk came from a Chiéago hospital. - Deaths Narrowly Averted When first Weighed, on’'a rusty olg potato seale, the five little gisters together weighed well un der 10 pounds. They were all be tween a foot and 13 inches in length.

It should be suitable and durable Attractive ‘garments have béeen made this spring from guano and feed sacks. “The finehess in taste is in the fitness of things."” An ex. ample is the well mids and well designed sack dresses. Following the lecture, two inter esting exhibits were shown which included colorful jacketls, embroid ered blouses, woolen embroidered fiet sweaters and blouses, crochet ed bags, children’'s dresses, croch eted mats, etc. ‘These exhibits were sent' oug by the MeCall Pat tern people and the.
