Finds Youth Movements Strong Force For Peace In All Europe Exchange Camps Are Doing Much to Promote Better Under standing And Friendly Relations Between Troubled Nations of Europe—Professor Meyer Describes Visits to These Camps By HAROLD D. MEYER (Kemn Traveling PrWtessor, Uni versity of North Carolina) Nothing is more important in de veloping international goodwill than a clear understanding of the other fellow’s viewpoint. It is not essential that one accept the ideas of the other or even agree with them. However, to know why a nat ion is doing certain things and to attempt an analysis of the situations which provoke these actions is fun damental. It is always a sound pol icy to know both sides of a problem from both points of view. A fair minded interpretation can create understanding, temper relations and promote friendship anew. No where does this need appear so important as here in Europe. The very tempo of time and events cry out aloud for clear understandings. The Hitler Youth organization re cently inaugurated a program de signed to bring together youth and youth leaders of other lands thru a series of exchange camps. For a ten-day period five camps were promoted, one with Belgium,. one with France and three with Eng land. In the early part of spring one thousand French youths will spend two weeks in Germany, visit some of the principal cities, and have comradeship with German youth. (Editorial note - Professor Meyer mailed this article before the recent Austrian crisis). In the sum mer the plan calls for an extensive system of exchanges whereby youth from other countries may come to Germany for short camp ing and hiking towns and many German boys and girls will go to other countries throughout Europe. Now and then large gatherings of European youth are planned:. In thte fall special attention will be given to interactional congests of sports and athletic events.

Hundreds of loads of trail were hauled away by the city ana many people reported that they wefc doing their bit. Judging of the homes will not take place until April 4th. All who are trying for the home prize are re quested to call the city manager in order that your name be put on the inspection list. r, EUROPEAN TENSION LESSENS London. England With the with drawal of Polish troops from the Lithuanian frontier and the pro mise of a peaceful settlement of differences between the two coun tries, the war clouds hanging over Europe subsided. In Austria, Ger man officialdom continued the speedy consolidation of her con quest, with Vienna taking on the cßlor and atmosphere of a Nazi city. Observers see the revolution draw ing toward its final stages, with the chances in favor of an Insurgent victory by General Franco’s army. these winter exchange camps will indicate the scope of the program 'and portray the activities of the groups. The exchange camp idea is not entirely new, but is new to the present youth set-ups in Europe. Being in its infancy it is perhaps difficult at this point to determine the practical values involved. There are many potential possibilities and time alone will place judgment as to the international force and pow er such a plan can develop. Surely the idea is sound and the strength of its values can be fostered into goodwill and understanding that might permeate all European life. The five winter camps were situ ated in the Bavarian Alps with Munich as a converging point. In each camp German boys and girls acted as hosts and hostesses to their foreign friends. The Belgium group were at Fischhausen-Neuhausen by S'chlier see-Obb. Twenty-five selected Bel gium youth joined with eighteen German youth to form this group. They were all of teen age. The French camp was located at Alpe- Ech out from Sonthofen-Allgua. Here 29 youth leaders from the major youth organisations of Fraince camped with fifteen Ger man youth leaders. There were three exchange camps with the En glish. The group consisted of forty students from English universities camping with German students. This camp was located at Almag mach near Immenstadt-Allgua. An other English group of twenty-five was composed of youth leaders, professors and army officers and was located at Rossfeld near Bensht esgaden while the third camp con sisted of forty-five teen age boys and girls and was situated at Mel kode near Ober&tdorf. While each location was near a village the camps proper were high (Continued On Back Page) SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 1938 Old Gold Mine At Virgilina Is Paying Profits Once Again JIM HARRIS NAMED SECT’Y CITY MGRS.

VIRGILINA IS NOT EXCITED 1 Two (brothers, Richard and Joe Homme of Virgilina, Va., are work ing a vein in an old gold mine four t miles west of Virgilina, Va., and it is said that they are getting enough t of the precious metal to make it • pay. ’ The mine had not been worked l for years and years until these two ' men decided that they would see what could be done about it. They . had had a little experience in min ■ ing, or so the story goes, and start , ed from scratch. Now the mine is ■ treating them fair and they are : making shipment to Washington, D. C. The people of Virgilina are not excited about it at all. The truth. ! is that many people there do not know anything about it and those who do are not interested very much. They figure that the mine . will not do very much and Richard and Joe are entitled to what they ! get. Two negroes have been employed to help the Homme brothers as it probably requires a lot of digging and manual labor to get the gold. Even tho prospects are not so ■ bright a weighing outfit and other • things to make matters easier have been bought.
