When someone upsets the cookie jar, she has a double problem try ing to pin down the culprit—two sets of identical twin boys. The first pair, Donald and Ronald, are four years old and the second set, Jerry and Terry, are three. When Mrs. Beeman and her hus band had been married only two years, they had four sons. Ronald and Donald were born Aug. 14, 1952, and Jerry and Terx-y made their enti’ance Aug. 30, 1953. Looking after four energetic boys so near the same age is diffi cult for one pei-son, Mrs. Beeman says. But her task is multiplied because she has a hard time telling them apart.
