By raiiroad, automobile and tiirplanc I covered pretty nearly that | entire peninsula, and saw for myself jibe results of ten years of Mussolini, j Itaiy today is the least depressed nation in the woiTil. Everybody is at work; out of a population of 42,000, 000, I was told, there arc less than a million unemployed, including the aged and invalids. The whole nation is thoroughly organized and a new spirit of national pride and coopera tion has been developed. The Italian people give every evi il"iu\> of being the happiest people anywhere in the world today. Mea sured in dollars, they don t hand !.e r.uich money, but measured in terms of food, clothing and comfort, their workers are better off, on the whole, than those of any other nation. Housing . . in Italian cities One of the biggest things the Ital- j inn government has done is to im prove housing conditions for workers in the cities, In Milan, which is the New York of Italy, the industrial smd financial center and the largest city. I saw literally thousands of new apart ment houses, built hv private capital with government aid, modern and sanitary in every respect, where work ts can rent four-room apartirnts for a month. On the outskirts of Rome i long the famous Appian Way and just over the eaves known as the cat acombs, where the bones of millions of Christian martyrs He, I saw where the government had provided hous ing for sixty thousand worker who were moved from the slums of the old city, which have been torn down and made into parks or new high ways. The same thins: is going on in many other Italian cities; and every one of these housing developments has as its central feature a new and mod ern sclioo' house, with play grounds and parks around it. The next generation of Italians will he better educated than its par ents were. , Farming . . every acre counts One reason why Italy lias suffered loss from tin; depression than other nations is that 55 per eeiit of its population lives ou the land. There is hardly a square inrfi oi' land in Italy that is not under culti vation. Even the mountain sides ol the Appt nines and the Maritime Alp* are terraced, in tiny tracts, as high as vegetation will grow. Perhaps the biggest thing which the Fascist government has under taken is the reclaiming of all thej waste lands. I saw the great drain- 1 'age works which have reclaimed the swamps along the Adriatic, the Pon 'aid out in small holdings, each with malaria breeding flats of the Cam pagna, in the vicinity of Xaples. ITere again private capital and the gov ! eminent co-operated, tbo reclaimed [land is sowed to crops stocked with 'cattle, sheep or poultry, laid out in .small holdings, eaeh with its modern I farm house and out-buildings, and sold 011 easy terms to new farmers while the National Institute of Agri culture, organized niuch 1 like the American system of coailty agents, gives intensive assistance in helping the |>enp!e get a living from the land Wheat - - and tobacco Italy has set out to grow all of its own wheat, both the durum variety used for making macaroni, and soft wheat for bread. Ten years ago Italy was import ing five-sixths of its wheat. Today yt is growing five-sixths of its own ? I wheat. This is a result of what Mus solini has dramatically named the I "Battaglia del' Grano,*' the Battle > of Grain. 1 This is something for American (Etyrifltmag Idlg of Srtljlrljm Bells in the tower of the Church of Nativity, Beth lehem, will ring out oncc again at the dawn of Christmas, marking the ob servance of the lit rtK of tflC Christ Child, more than 1900 years ago. The church is lo cated where it is said the Christ Child was born. Jackson County Given Publicity . ... . t ( N \ */ Jackson comity was (ho subject of a full page advertisement in the A <rc vil!c Citizen-Times on Sunday morn ing. The page carried a map of the county, a picture of die court house, and valuable data as to the popula tion, wealth, spending power, re sources and educational achieve ments of the county. In addition to J the page advertisement, there was another page devoted to feature ar ticles about Jackson county and Jackson county people. On Sunday evening Jackson coun ty was the subject of a most inter- 1 csting discourse over Radio Station WWXC, by ProP. Robert L. Madi son, founder of Western ( jyolfrna Teachers College.

P, Meduire, president, which has bei?n distributed to the patrons of our school, except four hags of flour which was given to other needy fam ilies in the community. This donation has ffecn great 'y appreciated by these families. v Balsam was visited by n six-inch snow Friday. It rained Friday night and we have had the heaviest sleet that has ever been seen here. Much damage has been doiiy to the timber, the trees breaking under I lie heavy coat of ice. Traffic was delayed by the limbs falling across the state roads through Balsam.' All communi cation was cut off and had no elec trie lights. But a'l fhis was nothing compared to the beauty of the scene. The limbs of the trees were hanging 'with myriads of icicles that looked like crystal fringe.

I ' Miss Gertrude Perjrnson returned to i her school at Rock Ridge after a vis* it with home folks. i Mrs. J, 0, BeejMf | age* f? Xra,, There arc a .number of big prob lems facing the General Assembly, when it meets, on January 4, all of which are clamoring for solution. In the first place, there is a defic it of some twelve million dollars that must be taken care of and the bud get balanced, in order to maintain the credit of the State. While there is that deficit, it is not true that the State has siM'iit twelve million dol lars more than it has taken into the treasury. The truth is that seven teen mil ion dollars yin bonds has been retired, leaving the State fivo trillion dollars better off, so far as indebtedness is concerned, than it was at the beginning of the period. However, the deficit is an actual one, and must be cared for in some creditable manner. The great majority of the members of the Ass^inbly, and Governor-elect Ehringhaus arc pledged to remove the 15c tax on property for the State's six month' schools. And here is the rub. If the Assembly fails to remove that tax on property, it will have failed to keep faith with the people. On the other hand, where is th? f ' money to come from, with which to pay the school budget, if the 15c levy i^XPMvedl % f ~~*j Jr Another matter is the considera tion of the new Constitution for the State that has been submitted by the constitutional commission. There is said to be a movement on foot to modify the State prohibition laws; though the Associated Press has not yet received information from a sufficient number of members of either House to be able to form any opinion as to that. Representative 'Cover of Cherokee, the youngest member of the Assembly is said to have a repeal measure, which he in tends to introduce. Coming back to the matter of rev enue, and that is th ? point to whieh ?he Assembly wi 1 always corrc bark, there is much agitation for the re duction of governmental expendi tures, though they have already been radically reduced by the budget com rnissioti. The consolidation of gov ernmental fluencies, thus reducing ex penses is being considered. One plan that is being avitat'd in rather high circles is for the States and the fed eral government to get together on a plan for a general sa'cs tax to be levied by the fed ral government, which in turn would return a certain part therof to th:* States, in propor tion to population, thus making the tax general throughout the country, and preventing bootlcgring of mer chandise across S4at? borders. It ff certain that the people are demanding a tax reduction, and it ?s equally certain that there is a great sentiment for doing away with ev ery expenditure that is not absolutely essential to the w !I -being of the State. Just what turn thinrrs will tak r cannot be def init'lv determined un til after the innn^-ration of M?\ Rhringhaus, wh'ch vvnt will occur on Thursday. -Tan. .r>. After that he will deliver his nrpsacr" to the A? semb'v and make his recommenda tions. Then th" r'fl tak of solving North Carolina's difficult problems will begin in earnest. D. M.
