The Farms of Normandy Editor’s note: The author of this theme, just 15 years of age, came to this country last June, after spending her life in France. A student at the Cot tage School, she shows an eager interest in economics, history and music. She is an expert equestrienne, having won several ribbons in the Pinehurst Horse Shows of this season. Her great aunt is Mrs. Frank Edward May, Mr. S. B. Chapin’s sister. The composition is excellent, es pecially in its commentary on the plight of the American share-cropper, in contrast to the apparent good life of the French farmer. Miss de Janze came to America for summer vacation, planning to return to France in September, when the European war broke out, pre venting her departure for home. By Miss Paola de Janze The sun came pouring over the hills and the green mead ows, through the woods, into the golden fields of wheat and the silver fields of oats. The wind rustled through the hay stacks and the heavy leaves of the chestnut trees. Hundreds of little apples danced gaily on the ends of their branches as they seemed to say, “Look and admire our glow, for thou shalt see the wea at us in ue th of Normandy.” §lowly I crossed the meadow where many brown and white cows were .grazing; as l passed they followed me with their great dark eyes. I stopped to look at the great expanse be • i. fore me; here a field, where reapers were working to bring in their crops; there, a large valley covered with woods and meadows; a big wooden cart drawn by six powerful white horses; men and women singing as they piled up the hay; chil dren playing with two enor mous but gentle shepherd dogs; and down in the valley a flock of three or four hundred sheep. When I came up to them, the farmers greeted me cheerfully, helped me on to the cart and gave me the reins ^.nd whip to hold. As I lay on the soft hay I could not * help thinking how much I loved this country and these people, and I knew that they loved me, too, just as their parents loved my parents and their grand-parents my grand-parents, and this way for years and years. Ever since our Chateau was built, three hundred and ten years ago, it has remained in our family, and the people have depended on us as we have on them. What could France do with out her crops and! cattle ? What could the farmers do without help and protection? We are the ones to give them those things. When they are in trou ble, or when they are sick, they 'come to us, and we do our best to help them. They rent our farms and lands, but if .they are not able to pay us in money, they give us wheat, oats, barley, beets, or whatever their crops are; they (Continued on page two) Sea and Air Warfare Sparked by Allied Attack on German Transport Convoy NOTED NAZI AIRMAN KILLED IN FLIGHT BERLIN, April 23.—<^P)— Captain Alfred Henke, 38, who flew the North Atlantic four times and took part in the Condor trans - Atlantic flight from Berlin to New York in 1938, was killed yes terday while making a test flight. miss ewes, Artist, TO TALK ON MEXICO BEFORE CIVIC aUB Miss Mary Elwes of London, Eng., best known as a painter of gardens, also a lecturer of outstanding ability, lecturing in the largest clubs and hotels of Europe, is spending a brief i time sketching in Southern Pines and has consented to speak before the members and guests of the Civic Club Friday at 3:00 pi m. on Mexico, showing water color pictures as illustrations.
