Grey Nuns

Some of the nurses attending the Dionne quintuplets have shown themselves somewhat hardboiled, what with having to stave off Papa & Mama Dionne and the Press with everything from blistering threats to muscular force. Last week all the nurses were notified that after June 1 their services will no longer be required. On that date the Quintuplets' Board of Guardians, chairmanned by Ontario Surrogate H. R. Valin, will hand them over for future bringing up to the gentle Grey Nuns of Ontario's Pembroke Diocese.

Adding up the quintuplets' wealth last week Surrogate Valin reported their assets thus:

Gift articles $ 1,596

Dafoe Hospital 9,112

The Province of Ontario's Bond as Their Guardian 10,000

Cash in Bank 15,728

Value of Outstanding

Contracts 114,750

Total $151,186

For the first time since they all recently caught light snuffle colds, Yvonne, Cecile, Annette, Emilie and Marie all ran normal temperatures last week, were aired together in their five perambulators, guarded by a pistol-on-hip policeman.

Sniping at Surrogate Valin last week, Mr. & Mrs. Dionne's vaudeville manager charged: "There would be none of this bare nakedness and pictures which disgrace the quintuplets if their parents were in charge--none of this nudism!"

"How can anyone say such things?" protested the Surrogate. "The quintuplets are the most beautiful things you could see!"
