LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS.
(From Mrs. r. A. lie B., BethesdaJ
Sorry to be little late with this
information. Lowell. Mass, is my
home town, although I have lived
in Washington a few years now,
and I still visit my people in
Lowell twice yearly.
II you must live in Lowell, con-
tact their Chamber of Commerce
Tor an apartment in the Highland
section, or Belvidere section. These
two sections are h-American.
We have French-American sec
ton known as "Centerville," the
Greek-American section is upper
Market street. The Polish Amer
lean section is upper Central street.
In most mill towns, you will find
the city is more or less divided into
sections" which you are not apt
to find in a larger city.
Now, if you would rather live
just outside of the city, such as
Bethesda would be to Washing
ton, try Chelmsford, which is love-
ly in the summer, North Chelms-
ford also. However, the latter has
very. very few apartments or
houses for rent because of the sew
eral small mills and lumber yards
located here. The residents are
permanent and have been for years
with no apartment houses that I
know Of.
Therefore, I believe your best bet
would be, when writing to the
Chamber of Commerce in Lowell,
to state your preference as to the
section you desire, whether it be
French, Irish, Polish or Greek,
etc. hope you understand what
I mean by this. AS I said before,
you will not find a larger city di-
vided like this, but mill town is
in every case I know of, especially
in Massachusetts,.
If I can be of further help, write
me through RICH.

QUILT PATTERN? RESORT?
from Mrs. H. M. B., KensingtonJ
Will the lady who has the old
fashioned "log cabin" quilt share
pattern with me so I can give it
to my mother? She saw the pat
tern in a lovely quilt many years
ago and has never been able to get
the pattern. I would love to have
it for her.
I would like any suggestions
from readers relating to a lake
vacation resort in nearby Virginia,
West Virginia or North Carolina
that my husband, 1h-year-old
daughter, might enjoy for a 10
day rest away from the District
Of Columbia. We would especially
be interested in cool spot at high
elevation on q fresh-water lake
shore. We would like cottage or
cabin with cooking facilities. It
sounds like asking for a great deal,
possibly but four years ago we
found such place in New Hamp-
shire. but that is a bit farther than
we want to travel with our daugh-
ter. I would like to hear discus
sion of your experience as they
are a little clearer than other
sources of information.
