vance millar the ec centric toronto lwyeisportsmaij who drew the bizarre will critics of the document which left the money to the toronto mother having the most children in the 10 years ending octobei 31 next have called it fantastic and obscene but the contestants think it hie gracious work of a kindly man who loved big families millar was a bachelor who loved a joke from mrs martin kenny who claims the lead in the stork mara thon with 12 children and another expected down to the last mother on the list of contestants who hasnt a chance of winning they say he was a wonderful man and the will a grand idea it has been said the will was writ ten as a joke at a party and was never meant to stand but these mothers believe the humorous and slightly eccentric manabouttown meant every word of it and that the unusual document was written be cause he wanted to help some mother bring up a large family in this they have the support of a footnote to the will millar wrote this will is necessarily uncommon and capricious because i have no near relatives and no duty rests on me to leave properly at my death and what i do leave is proof of my folly in gathering and retaining more than i required in my lifetime maternal ambitions to 34yearold mrs kenny the will joke or no joke is an excellent one- it was a generous act to help the poor she says he knew the mon ey would go somewhere it was badly needed if she wins her first act will be to visit his grave and take all the family just think no one ever bothers to go and visit his grave mrs grace bagnato who has nine children for her entry and expects another feels much the same way it was his money and he could do what ho wanted with it she said if he wanted it to go to some poor family that had many mouths to feed thats his business if she won she wouldnt work so hard mrs bagnato- added she is a police court interpreter and her hus band i3 a customs clerk they would like the money to lead an easy life but she was quick

thought the will a good one if she had any plans about what she would do if her 10 children won her the money she wasnt talking about them wait until i win she said smilingly mrs john nagle another mother with 10 born in 10 years isnt worry ing about what she will do with the money all she is thinking of now is her latest baby only a few weeks old she said i am certainly not going to stop having babies in oc tober i lovo babies and so does my husband so we are just going to keep on having them if i win the money it will be very nice if i dont it doesnt matter much a fruit farm is mrs gus grazi- anos ambition if her nine children win her a share mrs stephen dar- rigo hasnt much chance with eight children but her share would go to buy a fruit and vegetable stoic which she would help her husband run children all living mrs ambrose harrison the only mother whose children are all liv ing says they are fortune enough for her but the 500000 would come in pretty useful around the house she had lf children in all eight of whom are eligible for the derby her husband a street car motor- man on a night shift has ideas about what ho would do with the money ill quit night work he vows the money may he used for a divorce if mrs x discovered re cently by the canadian press as a dark horse in the baby derby wins she has been separated from her husband for several years and says she would
