Prolific, 34-year-old Oliva Dionne, of Callander, Ont., has long pouted over the fact that he has little control over the welfare and fortunes of his famed five daughters, Yvonne, Emilie, Annette, Marie and Cecile. The Ontario Provincial Government has never been seriously concerned over the other seven living Dionne young, but has kept the Quintuplets in separate, guarded quarters. Last month Papa Dionne demanded a general inquiry by the Ontario Government into the handling of the Quintuplets' affairs by strong-willed Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, Judge J. A. Valin and Percy D. Wilson, his fellow members...
Since the Nazis took control of Austria's music, leaving the future of Austria's famed Salzburg Festival in doubt, the air from Hollywood to Paris has resounded with projects for new "Salzburgs" outside Greater Germany. While most of these projects have been evaporating in talk, certain features of the Salzburg idea have quietly come into being at Glyndebourne, an old Tudor manor in the midst of England's hilly South Downs, 60 miles from London. Glyndebourne, content to remain in character, has not proclaimed itself the "Salzburg of England." But responsible critics have acclaimed the Mozart...
University of Wisconsin as an institution has a long-standing liberal tradition. But not all Badgers are liberals. Month ago the conservatives on Madison's Langdon St. (Wisconsin's swank fraternity row) routed the liberals, elected their ticket* to the board of control of the undergraduate Daily Cardinal.

The new board complained of Editor Davis' Leftist leanings, said he could not work...
Thereupon half the Cardinal staff walked out and published an opposition paper called the Staff Daily. Some 2,500 students signed an unsuccessful petition for a referendum to recall the board of control. And last week white-haired, conservative Dean George Clarke Sellery, who was Wisconsin's interim acting president after Glenn Frank's ouster last year, pushed the university into the national limelight again by charging that racial bigotry had reared its head on Wisconsin's campus. Said he: "When an effort to put [the Cardinal] into the hands of a different group for next year...
...State-supported schools and 70% of its citizens were illiterate. But the post-revolution constitution of 1917 decreed free, secular education for all. By 1921 President Obregón began to send missionaries into the rural districts to establish secular schools. A constitutional amendment in 1934 gave the Government control of all primary and secondary education, directed that it should be socialistic. Today, despite the bitter opposition of the Roman Catholic Church to the new educational plan, Mexico has some 23,000 secular schools with more than 2,000,000 students getting no religious instruction; 86% of its primary schools...
