QU|NTUPLETS
 GAN TALK SOME
Each. One of Them Can Say About IS Words
 in French

Callander, Ont, March 22-(UP) Each of the Dionne quintuplets can now 'say about IS words in English, Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe said today.
 "The babies can ask for & drink of water if they want one, and can also make their wishes in other re- gards known" Dr. Dafoe said. If they want to go outside to play they can get the idea across to their nurses without trouble, but their vocabularies actually only include about IS words at present, although we expect to have them talking bet ter when they are three years old"
 Third Birthday May 2S
 The quins will celebrate their third birthday May 28.
 They speak French only, Dr.. Dafoe said, but when they can they can use that tongue fiuently they will be taught English.
 The babies are well aware of their individual identity, and If An nctte, for instance, is addressed as Cecile by a confused nurse or visitor she will shake her head hard, al- most shout Mon, non" and point to Cecile. They are all familiar with their own names and those of their sisters, Dr. Dafoe said.
 Never Hungry, Sleepy
 He said they did not know how to ask for something to eat, or how to say they were tired because they are fed at regular times and put to bed at regular hours, so they never get hungry or sleepy except at the proper times
 "As far as their talking goes," Dr. Dafoe said, you must remember that children of multiple birth never talk at an early age.
 All along we have been expect ing the quins to be able to say quite a few words by their third birthday, and they will be able to do that. Already they know the usual good morning. how do you do and so on, and I think by their third birth day they may surprise everyone"

 This happens Q couple of times until property men with long poles are stationed just out of camera range to keep the swans away from the bank.
