them as his own and they loved 1 him.
 Medical authorities throughout the world agreed that he had per- formed a miracle of science. Hon. ors were showered on him. He de- clined fabulous offers to go to fa- nous clinics, although he was a poor man. He preferred to remain country doctor, the coroner of Callender and the medical health officer for North Himsworth town ship.
 In the face of dazzling public ity, he remained modest and unas- suming. His normal life, however, was greatly changed. He became as good a business man as he was phy- sician and devoted practically his entire time to the quints' welfare. He invited another doctor to take over most of his practice, keeping only few of his older patients.
 As the youngsters grew and be- gan to acquire a sizeable fortune from various sources, their inter- ests took on new form. He planned special home for them, with an enclosed gallery, and visitors from all over the country and the Unit ed States came to see them.
 Visit from Royalty
 In 1885, the Ontario legislature passed a measure to make them wards of the King. It was proud day for him in 1899 when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain, while on their Can adian tour, visited the five years old girls and him. The Queen was especially charmed with their na- tural behavior in the presence of royalty.
 There were some unhappy mo- ments in the interim when the parents objected to their babies be- ing segregated from the rest of the family, but eventually the diff culties were ironed out.
 Dr. Dafoe was born on May 29, 1883 in the Ontario village of Madoc, the son of another country doctor, William Allan DaFoe and Rosa (Van Duesen Dafoe. He at tended the University of Toronto and was graduated in medicine in 1907 at 24 He headed for the north woods and settled in the thriving lumber town of Callender. He mar ried a nurse, Bertha Morrison, daughter of a Halifax clergyman. She died after bearing him a son, William Allen Dafoe.

"The Alaska Story-Letters," the first of a series of six, made their appearance at the USO Club here early in the week. This initial let ter tells vividly of some of the fascinating wonders of Alaska, com pressing into it's three pages a fund of intensely interesting infor- nation The series is made avail able to Servicemen so that they may share the story of this coun- try with the folks at home. The letters are being distributed through the various USO clubs in the Ter ritory. They have been reviewed by the military authorities and have been found to contain nothing which would be disapproved by the censor. Miss Marie M Struve, of the USO North Pacific Area Office, composed the script and drew the striking covers of the letters. Their preparation involved very extensive research and careful checking for accuracy As result of this thor oughness and by virtue of her skill as writer and an artist, Miss Struve has made unique and dis tinctive contribution to USO and one of which we all are proud Congratulations and grateful thanks to herl
