 Rather ought they in those for- native years to be in the thick of things and be compelled to meet in- fluences anti-C Christian ls well as Christian, and to face modern prob lems as they come to expression in great modern universities like Yale" ;" The dormitory was acquired from Yale University.

 to MuSsolini. He then claimed cre- dit for the President, intimating that Mussolini had acted as 8 result of MT. Roosevelt's intervention and said that the scales in Europe for peace and war had been tipped by messages.
 Five days later Secretary of War Woodring boasted of MT. Roosevelt's part. Tn the course of few days he declared, when everyone else had quit, he changed desperation tc hope"
 Various news stories appeared which could have originated only in the White House, giving the pre- else hours and minutes of the RooSe- welt messages, to prove that MT Roosevelt's appeal to Mussolini mus have done the trick.
 FDR DID NOT
 DICTATE TERMS
 Whether MT. Roosevelt's appea actually produced the conferenc, remains to be proved. Certainl. MT. Roosevelt did not take part il the conference at Munich and di, not dictate it's terms. But there cal be no doubt that his supporters, on cabinet officer and his undersecre tary of state, after those dreadful terms were known, publicly elaine credit for the meeting at Municl 4 at which those terms were made.
 This would seem to make thi word "appeasement," which origi mated at Munich, hot one fo President Roosevelt to handle.

SALVATION ARMY
 IN WAR SECTOR
Adiutant Wiberg Receives Word of Splendid Relief
 Work Accomplished

Adjutant Hugo Wiberg, com- mander of the local corps of The Salvation Army, has just received the following information on the latest Salvation Army activities in the British Isles, from the New York headquarters.
 War work, mems social, slum and corps officers are sharing relief work made necessary by the widespread air raids on Great Britain. Among the houses wrecked in Portsmouth, when 500 planes attacked the city, was that of the well-known Salva- tionist and former Lord Mayor, Treasurer James E. Smith, whose garden immediately became cas- ualty clearing station.
 Bombs have dropped in front of Salvation Army halls in London and in the North Country, doing little damage; and on women's industrial home at Portsmouth, causing some damage. Sporadic shelling from France adds to the peril of South Coast corps, but &C., tivities continue everywhere. Following a raid in North Lon don, war work officers transported furniture to the new homes found for people whose houses were dam aged. Hundreds of homeless people passed the night at Salvation Army halls. Many people in the poorer part of London, whose homes were bombed, cooked their meals at Slum officers quarters, where people Suf- fering from shock were rested.
 At Croydon the corps officer vis- ited all the injured in the hospital, afterwards spending many hours in notifying anxious relatives of the condition of their wounded rela- tions. In an area nearby, an army canteen was opened to serve re- treatments to raid victims, while the corps hall accommodated dis possessed people.
 When West Country village was bombed, slum officers from neigh boring city transferred sixty home less people to new homes. Hundreds of blankets were distributed. When bombs fell near the South ampton Goodwill Center. refresh mentS were rushed to the stricken area from the Naval and Military Center.
 Defense area Salvationists con- tinue all activities in face of grave dangers. Ramsgate comrades SUD- piled tea for sheltering people though gas, light and water facili- ties of the town were cut of by 6 raid destroying a thousand houses The Margate corps is reduced from 200 to 40, with band of Il still marching the streets and holding open-airs. Similar conditions pre- vail at Dover and elsewhere.
 Salvation Army officers in al parts of the country are visiting the scenes of disaster as soon as the "All Clear" signal is given. Many ,.are on duty visiting the shelters and comforting the aged and ner- vous during raids.

high schools, were to be sponsored jointly by the Waterbury Girls Club and the state university, and would have met the educational demands those students who could not afford to attend college.
 Miss Kathleen Crowley, director of the Waterbury Girls Club, said the enrolment is below requirement partly because many prospective students failed to get their applica- tionS in on time. By last week, only 19 boys and girls had met all the requirements and were formally en- rolled.
 Failure to have the extension courses here this year is viewed by education officials as a blow to the hopes of good students who could not attend college because of finan- cial straits.
 The popularity of extension courses elsewhere is shown by the fact that many local teachers have enrolled at the Teachers College of Connecticut. It had been hoped that a similar success here might have led to the establishment of more courses, including graduate work for teachers.
