gian surrender-had been taken back to England.
 It was then the NaziS did-in the words of Neville Chamberlain-"miss the bus" England lay ripe for invasion across a 21-mile strait. The British army compelled to leave its heavy equipment on the Continent, was tired and disorganized.
 The British braced for assault Home Guards with bayonets on poles drilled to aid the army. Prime Min ister Churchill squared his should CTS before a microphone and prom ised the world that the British would fight on the beaches, on the landing grounds, in the fields, in the streets and on the hills"
 In that dark hour the American government, eschewing legalities, hurriedly shipped to England 1,000, 900 old Springfield rifles and many French 75s of World War I vintage. These, Churchill later revealed in an address to the U. s. Congress, were virtually all the arms Britain had with which to defend herself. Nazis Strike South
 The world may never know what quirk in the German mind halted their gray-green armies at the Chan nel and turned them south upon France.
 On that day, when the war seem ed as good as won for the Axis, Be- nito Mussolini announced Italy's entry into the conflict.
 The triumphant Nazis rolled into Paris on June IA. Three days later the aged Marshal Henri Petain, once toasted as the hero of Verdun, asked for honorable terms of sur render.
 Petain got his terms. They were harsh, not honorable. On June p, in the same armistice ca rat Con- piegne in which the first world war had ended, the Nazis announced they were taking half of France and demobilizing all French military naval and air forces. The Italians obtained disarmament of Frances North African colonies.

 The question arose when a man and his wife complained that their landlord wanted to charge rental for three persons on the basis of their pet dog.
 But the dog got a free roof over his head. Mccarthy ruled that the landlor dcould not charge for him without being in violation of rent regulations.

of churches, historical buildings and large residential districts were de. molished throughout England Thousands were made homeless and the death toll mounted toward 30.- 900 as Britain rocked and shuddered under the worst the enemy could give.
 Then, toward the end of the year, defensive measures - radar, night fighters improved markedly. Larger and larger percentages of the raiding airf1eets started going down in flames over their targets. The RAF, gaining rapidly in strik- ing power, began to send out bigger and bigger flights of its own bomb CTS on reprisal raids. Defensively, 1t carefully husbanded its dwindling force of fighters to make every blow count.
 First Defeat To Hitler In late December. the Nazi at- tacks began to lose their sting. Heavy incendiary raids wrought severe damage for 6 time, but by the end of January the worst was over. The British had won the bat tie of Britain; for the first time in World War II, Hitler had been de- feated.
 Never said Churchill in trib- ute to the RAF pilots, had so many owed so much to so few
 The skill of the RAF pilots and the determination of the people of Britain undoubtedly had cost Hitler his chance for short, cheap war. Had Britain fallen, an expeditionary force from the United States and | Canada would have been confronted with the almost impossible job of recovering Europe by attacks across the Atlantic.
 Now, with Britain still standing, the Allies had an advance base from which to battle Hitlers' arm- ies in the Mediterranean, aid Russia and ultimately invade vest ern Europe.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-08

Conveying ground columns closed rapidly on the Hague, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. They received lit- tie fight. The Netherlands armies, separated and surrounded, capitu- lated after four days.
 In Belgium, large body of Brit ish and French troops advanced some 50 miles north of the border in an attempt to cut of German attachments pouring across the Albert Canal, 100 miles to the nurtheasr, nad driving coastward toward Brussels and Antwerp. The French were relying on a Belgian division in the Ardennes Forest near the Luxembourg border to cover their right flank.
 Striking with speed and auda- city, crack German armored column under Gen. Erwin Rommel dispersed the Belgian division and emerged from the forest on May IS. Then Rommel began an appar- ently insane maneuver. He turned westward and raced along behind the Allied lines upto the valley of the Somme, reaching the English Channel near Abbeville.
 His supply line was stretched a precarious 15O miles, but the speed of the Nazi follow-up assured the success of Rommels tactic. Tank units motorized troops and blocks of infantry streamed swiftly through the gap to build up the German salient. By May B, the Maginot Line was effectively fanked and the Allied forces to the north cut off and surrounded.
 Miracle at Dunkirk
 The main French armies started belated rescue drive from the south, but on May 28, King Leo pold suddenly surrendered the en- tire Belgian army. The remaining Allied divisions in the trap were facing surrender or annihilation Then help arrived from an un- looked-for quarter.
 Steaming miraculously to the res cue at that critical moment came g strange procession-a vast monde script relief fleet of vessels hastily recruited from England's coasta towns and villages.

But to the relief of the anti-Axis world, the British resolved not to play doormat as scheduled. Dismiss ed by Hitler as piece of willful folly, this decesion proved to be the turning point of the western war.
 For the British were victorious in all three phases of the grim aerial struggle that followed - christened by Prime Minister Churchill the Battle of Britain"
 Pounded British Ports
 The first phase began late in June when, hoping to starve the island out of the war, the numer- ically superior Luftwaffe launched a terrific assault on BritainS ports and shipping.
 First the Thames estuary and Plymouth and then the west coast ports of Liverpool, Cardiff and Bristol were subjected to relentless poundings as hundreds of Nazi dive bombers pressed the assault without respite for days on end. For time it appeared as if Bri- tain's supply lines might indeed be strangulated from the air.
 After a few weeks, however, the fledgling RAF, rising stubbornly to meet every attack, found an ans- wer. The Nazis' dreaded Stukas, it developed, were startlingly vluner- able. Designed entirely flor the as- sault, they had been given neither tn guns nor the armor to with stand severe attacks themselves either from fighters or anti-air- craft fire.
 The British made the most of their knowledge, and by August l, the balance had swung in their favor. By the middle of the month, they were destroying seven enemy bombers to each of their own planes missing. And Allied shipping still piled the sea lanes.
 Then Air Marshal Hermann Goer- ing changed his strategy. In the hope of cracking British morale, he sent a series of mass daylight raids against the major British cities, especially London.
 Blitz London Daily , This phase reached its peak in the late summer and autumn when up to 1000 Nazl bombers ham, mered the Britis capital almost daily. Destruction was terrific, thousands were killed and most of the population was driven under ground as bombs showered on econ- omic targets and residential areas indiscriminately.
 But this form of raid also had it's weakness. Streaming in by day light, the NaN formations made even easier targets than the dive bombers. In one four-week period, the RAF, backed up by barrage balloons and anti-aircraft batteries. knocked down 883 German planes. By November, Goering had to ad- init the RAP ruled the daylight sky over Britain. He couldn't frighten the British out of the war. In mid-November, the Luftwaffe switched to large-scale night bomb- ing of unprecedented intensity. Concentrated attacks were hurled at Coventry, Southampton and Birmingham, as well as new death- l dealing assaults on London. Scores

OLD-AGE AND SURVIVORS
INSURANCE PAYMENTS

AS of July /, 1945, benefit pay
ments under the Old+Age and Surviv-
ors Insurance provisions of the Social
Security Act were being made in this
area to IA, 064 men, women and chill
dren, totalling $257,S69.55 month.
These figures were released by Mr..
William Donlin, manager of the Bal
timore field office of the Social Sc
curity Board. This Office serves Balti-
more city, and the counties of Anne
Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil, Hartford
and Howard.
In addition, lump sum awards
since january /, 1910 have been
made in $3.50 cases to individuals
not eligible for monthly payments.
TIE total amount OF these payments
has been $1,329, 405.19.
Mr.. Donlin stated that in Cecil
county 70 retired workers, aged 65
or over, are receiving monthly ST.
861O9; 81 wives, IS or over, of re-
tired workers are receiving monthly
S305.29; SO children of deceased or
retired workers are receiving month
Ily $1,O72.52; 33 widows and Deepen
dent parents are receiving monthly,
S579.74; 227 are receiving a total of
$3,818.64.
Mr.. Donlin called attention to the
fact that some people do not know OF
their rights under the Federal In
surance program and so may lose
benefits through failure to act at the
right time. To correct this, he issued
the following advice: Whenever a
person who has worked at any time
in a job covered by the law reaches
the age of 65, he should communi-
cate with the Social Security Board
at 80 South Street and find out how
to protect his benefit rights even
though he does not plan to retire.
Whenever worker dies, after work
ing for some period in jobs covered
by the law, a member of his family
should communicate promptly with
the nearest Office of the Board. THIS
is the only way to make sure that no
benefits are lost"
