Hus 2lii'ii Child In 26 Years

FORT KENT, Me. (AP) A Canadian farmer's 42-year-old wife gave her family an unexpected Christmas present Friday - her 26th child in 26 years of married life.

Mrs. Marie Cyr gave birth to a premature five-pound. four-ounce daughter whom she and her hus- band, Heliodore, promptly named Noella Jean.

"The Noella is French for Christ- mas." said the proud 47-year-old father, who runs a 400-acre farm in nearby Ledges, N.B. The middle name is a tribute to the daughter of the attending physiciaii, Dr. Richard Savage, who has delivered 18 of Mrs. Cyr's babies.

The girl was born at "the People's Benevolent Hospital in this New Brunswick border com- munity at Maine's northern tip. It was the second in the family horn in a hospital. Last Feb. 4, Mrs. Cyr gave birth here to her 25th child-an eight - pound daughter named Diane.

PLACED IN INCUBATOR

Although the latest baby was born one month early. Dr. Savage said she has a good chance for survival. The infant was placed in an incubator.

Of Mrs. Cyr's 26 children, 19-10 girls and nine boys-are living. Two--Aubert, 25, and Lillian, 19. are married. The baby will join the other 16 in the family's rambl- ing ll-room farm home. Of the seven children who died, no two died from the same ailment.

Having Christmas babies is not a new experience for Mrs. Cyr. Exactly 10 years ago-Dec. 24, 1944-she gave birth to I son, Norman.

Picfou Firm Acts As Santa Claus

They also added some encourage- ment of employment in the near future when the firm will begin construction on a new ferry for the Prince Edward Island-Nova Scotia route. The company laid off about 200 men in the last six months because of a falling off in work.
