Quints Will Romp In Playground At Canada Hospital
CALLANDER, Ont., Feb. 11—(A)—The government of Ontario, acting for the guardians of the Dionne quintuplets, disclosed today it was planning a playground for the little girls next to the Dafoe hospital.
The playground, said David Cross, chief guardian, will give the five sisters a place to play with other members of the family.
Oliva Dionne, the girls' father, made plans to contest an action started by the government to expropriate 200 feet of his farm.
The farm land, which Croll said was rock and had never been farmed, would form part of the playground, together with a similar frontage next to the hospital.
In each case, the value of the land will be determined by Judge T. F. Battle of North Bay, and the guardians will pay the cost.
Cross said the expropriation proceedings were started after Dionne refused to negotiate last October.
