ONLY AN ALLIANCE

Our peace program envlSlons a

The charter which emerged from
the San Francisco conference,
while undoubtedly an improve
ment on the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals. does not provide for a
sound. institutional organization
of the international society
The security council provisions
make IL no more than a virtual
alliance OF the great powers for
the maintenance of peace. These
nations are given status above

From the provisions in the char

the hope that in time the defects
may be eliminated and We may

About this time of year we experience a poSltlVe nostalgia for those exquisite calendars of yeSeryears when we waited in gleefu anticipation for the cooru and frosted connections which father fetched from the butcher the baker and his vote downtown cafe These glorious works of far cry from the preSentoay calendars of insurance brokers which cover half the wall of the modern kitchenette codboodedy marking the eeting days and years Odtime calendar designers with more time to aspire to higher things of lfe had
 definite flair for beauty and expressed it fully Tn hgny coorful masterpieces that will never be forgotten by those who were privileged to view them. The New England winter scene highghted with scntlllatlng stardust as we recall, their favorte theme WailS of every homestead also graced with artlstlc oeI
 nQs portraying the moonlight shimmerng on the mooCn summer waters of Lake Quassapaug, the fuloooleo hues of the autumnal landscape, and hoyhocKs growing beside pretty white cottage So lovely were they, III fact that mother cut off the name of the generous SIoe keeper without twinge of conscience, taped the pic lures to glass; and hung them in prominent place III the parlor where they received admlrng ganceS Iol twelve long months Neither it be said that the cal endar designers of those roseate lush years before t
 world became attuned to gobal wars were lmpracuca Many of their beaueous works equipped With gen erous cardboard pocket which eventually became the
 final resting place for combs brushes hair ribbons bone hair pines button hooks shoe horns, mothers powder charnois and often times grandpas upper plate For convenience sake it hung as the kitchen sink as possible Of calendars depicting pnup girls of the era we have little recollection But then it may be that
 mother had no taste for the feminine form, or more likely father would not venture within the doors of ms domicile carrying such shameful display.

GAS, NOT PEACHES CAUSED POISONING

City Health Officer pr. Edward J. Godfrey said today that 1t was gas fumes, and not contaminated peaches, that sent four persons to St. Mary's hospital Sunday after 8 holiday dinner.
 After the four were stricken while dining in a second floor rent at l0l Norton street, neighbor, discover ing their condition, reported that peaches which the four had been eating emitted strange odor. How ever, investigation showed that the odor was caused by gas fumes escap- ing from a gas heater with faulty flue connections.
 The victims, who were discharged from the hospital yesterday, were Thomas Ranando, his wife, Rose, their daughter Barbara, and a guest, Miss Lucy Donofrio, Rockaway avenue.

OPA REQUIREMENT EXEMPTS VETERANS
Regulation on 20 Per Cent Payment of Purchase
 Price Waived

Veterans purchasing homes on borrowed funds guaranteed by the Administrator of Veterans Affairs do not have to meet the OPA re- quirement that twenty per cent of the purchase price must be paid before a certificate can be issued for the exiction of tenant, State OPA Director Anthony F. Arpaia announced today.
 OPA's rent regulations provide in general that a tenant may not be evicted for occupancy by a pur- chaser unless at least twenty per cent of the purchase price has been paid. In determining whether this requirement. is satisfied, payments made from funds borrowed for the purpose are generally excluded, Ar paia explained.
 This amendment to the rent reg ulations was made to eliminate any possibility that veteran might be unable. because of rent regulations, to obtain possession of housing ac- commentators purchased under aid provided by the CT Bill of Rights, he added.
