Almost Acquaintances
LOS ANGELES, l/P>—Market op
erator Max Linger has been held
up by the same man three times
and the fellow now calls him by
his first name.
“The gall of that guy,” says
Linger. “He entered my store
again yesterday, hauled the same
.32 automatic pistol, and says:
‘C’mon now, Max, give me the
money. No monkey business now’.”
Linger handed over $53, the
contents of the cash drawer just
as he did last March, and again in
April. This time the gunman said
he wanted more, forced Linger
into a back room, but settled on
four cartons of cigarettes after
the proprietor convinced him he
had no more money.

Dionne, Quints
Want A Life
Of Tlieir Own
MONTREAL, (J*)—A spokesman
for the Dionne quintuplets says
they are staying away from home
to prove they want a life of their
own. But they will visit their
parents sometime in January.
G. Harold Edwards, a trust com
pany executive who befriended
•the four famous sister while han
dling their finances, said they had
planned to visit the family home
at Callender, Ont., for New Year’s
until their father, Oliva Dionne,
charged publicly that “outsiders”
were splitting them away from
the family.
By going home now they would
be “giving in,” the spokesman ex
plained. He said the Quints “want
to make a private life of their
own.”
The four surviving quintuplets
— Annette, Cecile, Marie and
Yvonne — held a small party
Wednesday night in the apart
ment they have rented in north
west Montreal. Reporters in the
hall outside could hear music and
laughter and a young man came
to the door when a newsman
knocked.
The girl’s spokesman said the
young man was an official of the
trust firm handling their finances,
the more than $200,000 each re
ceived from trust funds when
they came of age this year.
Father Dionne 'was not recon
ciled by reports that the girls
were upset at his charges and had
denied they were breaking away
from the family.
“I don’t regret having issued
the statement,” he declared. “The
embarrassment we were suffer
ing over the separation became so
great we *felt obliged to make
public how we felt about it . . .
The stories out of Montreal sup
port what we said in the first
place — that the girls are being
influenced by outsiders.”
