such world-shattering events as a

The parents, the dissatisfied
Dionnes, maintain silence, cheered
sometimes by the words Of many
who believe with them that they
should have the custody Of their
babies.
Mrs. Dionne is quite outspoken.
however, on one matter.
Asked If she wanted TO become a
mother again. the 24-year-old farm
wife replied in QUICK French:
IT do not want to have any more
