Yes, they were poor by the 1930's standards. The babies made them richer, for sure.

I used to read all my Grandmothers Life and Time Magazines when I was there as a kid.....She had saved every single one, I believe. My Mom eventually tossed them all out. Sad.

The little girls were older than I was, but still we were of the same timeframe.... 5 fascinated me.

Dionne quintuplets were born in Canada on May 28, 1934. The publicity about their birth and their special status as wards of the Canadian government made them famous throughout the world. Visitors could watch the girls play; reporters interviewed the girls and the staff. Thousands of special dolls and souvenirs were made picturing the quints at different ages. Emilie died in 1954, Marie in 1970, Yvonne in 2001. Annette and Cecile still live in Canada.

We spend a fortune trying to save preemies.

Having them at home was really the safest way then. No Hospital-induced illnesses. I was born the same year in a Saginaw Mich Hospital. Think we were there four days.
