 Blind Girl Sees Quins
 Visitors never stopped coming to Callander all through the winter, and already, as the quins' third birthday is celebrated and long be- fore the opening of the tourist sea- son." several hundred a day file through the covered gallery to watch the children at play.
 One of the winters visits pro- vided an element of the drama that so frequently presents itself at the nursery. On 8 cold day of an ear- ly snow, a man, his wife, and their daughter presented themselves at the nursery with request to see the quins, though the weather did not permit their public viewing. When the circumstances were told, arrangements were quickly made.
 The daughter was going blind. Her failing eyesight, physicians had told her bluntly, would last for only a matter of a few months. Then the thickening curtain would des- cend, and she would never see again.
 Of the things she wanted to see before she went into the dark, the little Dionne girls were foremost. And her parents had brought her to Callander. When they departed, there were tears in the eyes of the two older people. but the doomed daughter was smiling and gay.

plan to build a row of cabins prac- tically up to the doctors lot line.
 A constant booming cannonade shudders across the bush. It is the dynamiting for new road from Callander to the Dafoe Nursery, which will cut off half mile by blasting through the solid granite rock that overlays the whole coun- tryside.
 "City Hall" Completed
 During the past three years the winding road traversed by Dr. Da- foe on the historic morning of May 28, 1884, has been constantly i'm proved, first for the use of the doc- tor in attending the quins, then la ter for the convenience of the tour ists who swarmed to Callander. Now 1t will be replaced entirely by a straight-through boulevard, much out of the solid rock and hacked painfully from the bush. AS the new road will be a provincial rath- CT than local highway, the 75 to 100 men given work on 1t are re- lief workers of the province. The local relief rolls have long since been practically absorbed by the building boom.
 Construction of the Red Cross outpost which will stand on the shore of Lake Nipissing has already begun, and by midsummer 1t will be finished. This will furnish per- manent headquarters and equip- ment for the Red Cross nurse as- signed to the district, now work ing in quarters in a private home. A neat "city hall" has also been completed, just across the road from the home of Dr. Dafoe.

 The statistics for the entire state for the month of March show that there were about 77,000 persons in Connecticut who were receiving aid in some manner from the depart- ments of welfare.
