advised my wife that the only thing could do would be to go to a local Loan Company and borrow the lump sum and pay up or get out, find a place and pay up.
 Now we have lived here two and a half years and we have never gone back on our rent. I have job and can pay my rent in a short time if l am only given chance, and am sure that others would do the same. But Mir. Sullivan says that We are not to be given any consider ation, that the veterans are to be given the preference as they have the money to pay. What is this? Since when does the returning G. l. or any one else in his right mind wish to put women and babies out in the street? Where would a family of seven find a rent in two week s time in all Waterbury or its suburbs?
 Now I want to know what can be done about this predicament? If l do 20 to this Loan Company which Mir. Sullivan recommends and cam not make any payments on demand, I'll lose what little I do have. If l move, even if could find a rent, how am going to pay my rent and pay this back rent on my present salary? I have done the best l could and see my way to pay this rent ii I am only given a chance against a set-up like this?

(NeW York Herald-Trloune)
 From London comes word that the British Society for International Un- derstanding will move shortly to 36 Craven Street. "Tne house will be a symbol of Anglo-American friend ship which must always play, as 1t does now, vital part in an endeav- or to promote international under standing and good will" says G. M. Young, chairman of the society's governing body, in his annual re- port.
 The choice of headquarters is in- deed happy one, for this house is where Benjamin Franklin lived for eighteen years, from l757. He occu- pied four rooms there, had two serv- ants, whom he had brought from Philadelphia, to wait on him and, characteristically enough, almost at once set about improving the fire place of his living room. He reduced the size of the opening to three feet by two and installed an iron frame with a sliding plate (his own inven- tion) by which the draugnt could be regulated, thus obtaining .lore heat with less fuel. Several of my ac- quaintances having seen this simple machine" Franklin wrote friend,
