which the kids can live with their
own folks Is making progress Ev-
erybody feels that It Is time the chil-
dren experienced the heavy respon-
sibility of having parents around the
house
Flans for Quint House arc said
o bo In the works already
There will be 14 In the family
exclusive of help This hands
the architects tho Initial prob-
lem of deciding whether to de-
sign a borne or a clubhouse
It will present many novel prob-
lems Any home with five kids the
sane age in it needs the best brains
the architectural profession can pro-
vide Requirement Number One Is
a room where pop and mom can get
some rest
Then there will have to bo a re-
ception room for corporations seek-
ing indorsements picture rights
etc a conference room for the
board of directors and a series of
projection rooms
And of course a rumpus
room for use when Dr Dafoe

them with guardianshipsboard
commissions and Interlocking
directorates during ihelr more
tender years Business respon-
sibilities are not good for a
growing child
But Dr Dafoe has come to the
conclusion it is n good thing for
children to have parents In fact
he feels that all kiddies look for-
ward to having a father and mother
some day when they can afford It
