Waterbury Democrat To Feature
 Exclusive Quintuplet Pictures

pired recently, representatives of other large American news picture agencies rushed to Canada to bid for future rights to these absorbing pictures.
 After long negotiations, NEA Service again secured the rights, paying a price believed higher than ever before paid for a sim gle picture feature, and one that assured the parents of freedom from worry about the care and future of their rapidly growing daughters.
 When the wonder babies, fed with an eye-dropper, survived these first days and weeks of their precarious life, 1t was con- sidered by medical authorities a near miracle. Each succeeding week the wonder grew.
 But the greater wonder is at hand.
 The marvel of bare survival is being displaced by the wonder of development under ideal condi- tions of care and surroundings. As a study of what can be done by environment for children born under adverse circum- stances, this story is without a peer.
 Under the personal supervi- sion of Dr Dafoe, who will see that nothing endangers the babies welfare, the story will be told in pictures, the greatest able for newspaper publica- able for newspaper pubmlica- tion.
 These pictures, covering the most interesting periods of in- fant growth, including the first teeth, the first step, the first birthday, and how they ahe cared for, will be made avail able exclusively in Waterbury by The Waterbury Democrat through its relationship with EEA Service. Today's first in- stailment of Dionne poctures. "The Worlds Most Famous Babies at Eight Months" can be found on Page 10.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-29

As a result of one of the gyeatest picture scoops' of re- cent years, the photographic story of the famous pionne auintuplets will appear exclu- sively in Waterbury in the Waterbury Democrat. ... ..
 The story of how The Demo- crat obtained these pictures through NEA Service, Inc, is an interesting one.
 When the quintuplets were born, the parents, no less than the rest of the world were stunned by the miraculous event. But Ovila Dionne, the father was faced with the stern fact that in addition to his five older children, he must now support on his rocky little farm these five new daughters, who, to sur vive at all, must have the most meticulous care.
 That is expensive. a prospect to dismay any parent, even III better circumstances than these French Ca madam dwellers on the edge of the great north woods.
 Many offers came to the Dionnes, some within a day or the auintuplets' birth. But most of them involved risk to the young lives in which so great an interest promptly centered. Dr A. R. Dafoe vetoed them.
 His wisdom has been justified by the bright, healthy condition of the quintuplets to-day. They are fast developing into beauti- full baby girls, a medical near miracle--for no other case is known in modern times of sur vival of mother and five quin- tuplets, let alone the babies de- velopment into normal, healthy children.
 Guardians were appointed, and last year The Waterbury Democrat was able to present, through NEA Service, Inc. ex- elusive pictures of their develop ment.

Warner, the game resolved itself down. to an end game, with Ave pawns each deadlocked from the Kings side over the Bishops of the same color. The two kings stood face to face blocking each other from getting through on the three open files. 1t loked like an absolute draw when Warner made q mis- take in judgment on the flftys fourth move. which Barker was quick to capitalize on and Warner resigned on his sixty-first move. The game used up three hours and one-half of time and an adjourn. meht was taken until 7:30 D. m. before starting the second game.
 A Long Match
 Opening the second game with the white pieces, Barker used the Reti-Zukertort opening to which Warner replied with a Kings In. dian Defense, but white in leaving teh text move early in the game forced black to change his defense somewhat. Losing q pawn down. Threatened with the queening of a pawn black sacrificed a bishop for two pawns leaving him knight down. White pushed on slowly but surely and forced 8 resignation at the fifty-sixth move after two hours and one-half play.
