SUBJECT OF TALK
Dr. Skeykill Speaks at Open
Forum on “Mussolini and
His Black Shirts”.
Dr. Tom Skeykill talked to the Open
Forum Thursday night, March 18, at
the County Courthouse. His subject was
“IMussolini and His Black Shirts.” He
w; s introduced by Col. Frank P. Hob-
good, Jr.
Doctor Skeykill is a native of Austra
lia, but at present is making a lecture
tour of the United States. He was a
member of the Black Shirts and spent
several months in Itah'. Dr. Skeykill
loves America although he is not an
American citizen. He was blind for
more than three years and his sight was
restored by a physician in Washington,
D. C.
Dr. Skeykill said that Benito Musso
lini before the war was a great editor
for the socialist party. Later he was
expelled from this party. When the war
came on he enlisted as a private and
eight months later was disabled.
.\s he was expelled from the socialist
party and was unable to join in any
other party, he started a newspaper of
his own and organized the Fascist! party.
Italy at this time was in strife and
turmoil. No party could get a majority
of votes and Italy was on the brink of
disaster. At this time Mussolini ap
peared. He had organized all the young
men in Italy into an army that wore
black shirts, black pants, black puttees,
and marched into Rome. The king turn
ed the reins of the government over to
Mussolini and he selected his cabinet in
one half a minute.
Mussolini’s government is so well built
that although he may be killed tomor
row it would still work smoothly on, ac
cording to Dr. Skeykill.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
GIVEN BY DR. GRENFELL
Dr. M’ilfred Grenfell gave an illustrat
ed lecture Friday night at 7:30 in the
Odell Memorial building. He told how
he started to work in Labrador. After
trying and failing to secure work in a
hospital he spent five years on a small
ship and finally landed at I.abrador. He
devoted 3.5 years of his life to the de
velopment of the people there. The pic
tures which were shown illustrated the
sufferings and ignorance of the inhabi
tants more vividly than a story would
liave done.
The one point which was stressed over
and over was service. Just so one has
the spirit of service the mission never
questions him as to what he believes.
The prohibition law has been a great
help to him, he said, because liquor had
been one of the greatest problems among
the fishermen.
Dr. Grenfell received hearty' applause
from tlie audience and his humorous
statements kept them laughing during
the evening.
His ideas on philosophy of service
miglit be summed up in his statement,
“Knighthood is not dead: it lives in the
simple acts of kindness. A man who has
two aeroplanes gives us our mail in win
ter. I think that is religion.”
Spring Burst Today,
For Christ has risen and all the world’s
at play. —Rosetti.

G. H. S. QUARANTINED!
Stop! Greensboro High School is in
ciuarantine for the dreaded disease,
“Spring Fever.”
Spring fever is a disease that gives
you a longing to put aside your books
and get away from school.
The patients are getting along very
nicely. It is really wonderful to see so
many stars issued (honor roll) in a school
under such a spell. The school is well
acquainted with the doctors, who are no
less than members of the faculty. They
have found out, however, that this is a
disease that must be cured by the pupils
Individually, and not by the teachers.

John Mebane then spoke on the con
vention proper. The editors heard lec
tures by many of the great newspaper
