We are informed that for some
time three families have been
living in a house in town, yet
the house only contained three
rooms. Besides -the six parents
there were ten children in the
house, the numbers from the
different families being 5, 3 and 2.
One woman did the cooking for
all. Of the ten children the old
est is not more than 8 years old,

these quarters.
