| Description: | The most famous town in South Dakota is Aberdeen. It has a population of 25,005. The Fischer Quintuplets are doing fine as they pass the critical 72-hour period. Now they are being fed a teaspoon of milk every two hours oblivious, naturally, to all the commotion they have caused throughout the world. The chances are 1 in 54,000,000 that a birth will be five-fold and Mr. And the Fischer’s are still dazed from the events, it appears. Gifts have poured in and with a new house and magazine contract the future of the Fischer Family seems assured.
