Italy Has Best Organized Youth Movement In World More Than Six Million Italian Youths, Between Ages Os Six And Twenty-One A fit Banded T&gMher ’For Common Purposes; Professor Meyer Pictures Preparedness As Motivating Force (Editorial Note: In the following articles professor Meyer, who is studying and traveling in Europe, gives a frank and clear exposition of the Italian youth movement.) By HAROLD D. MEYER (Kenan Traveling Professor, Uni versity of North Carolina) More than six million Italian youths are united in one organiza tion. Practically every boy and girl in Italy between the ages of six and twenty-one are banded together for comradeship with common and well determined purposes. This is without doubt the most effectively organized youth movement in the world today. Its entire administra tion is under one command and its leadership is well trained and ef ficient to the highest possible de gree. ' A royal edict, issued in October 1937, cemented the two then exist ing classifications of youth under one united band - “GIVENTU IT ALJANA DEL LITTORIO.” Trans lated, the title of the movement is - The Italian Youth of the Littori. The Littori is an emblem which originated with the ancient Ro mans and has been constantly used as the symbol of justice, obedience, respect and' discipline. It has been carried by magistrates of the law, in all tribunal sessions, since that time and is used in the modern era. Prior to October there were two distinct but closely knitted youth groups, the “Opera Batilla” en rolling the age groups from six to fourteen and “Young Fascists” with membership for fourteen to twenty one years of age. Today these two organizations are united into one large and powerful body with joint leadership, well coordinated programs and nation wide influence and force. Thus a totalitarian youth movement has been accomplished. ORGANIZED AT EARLY AGE No where else, in all the world, has a nation attempted to organize its youth at such an early age and continue to program the individual for so long a period of time and in sueh a definite way. The nearest approach to this type of organization is in Germany but there the youth age begins at the tenth year. In all the countries where the youth movement centers ROXBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, Roxboro Country Club May Be Able To Get Help Os W. P. A. Test Made of Co. Soils Friday P. M. Twelve DVfftjent Types Tested In Laboratory In City; Seven Tests On Each Soil A complete traveling laboratory of Davison Chemical Co. was in Roxhono last Friday and while here ran seven different tests on twelve types of Person County soil. ' This laboratory was complete in every detail and two chemists were in charge of all tests. Several farm ers were present while the tests were being run and many visited 1 the laboratory while it was here. Results of the tests were given to the farmers whose soil had been run. Frank H. Willson, manager of Camp Fertilizer Co. and representa tive of Davison Chemical Co. was responsible for the laboratory com ing to Roxboro. in the Boy Scouts, or related groups, the principle movement be gins at twelve. There ae a few orga nized groups catering to boys and girls between ten and twelve but there is a marked tendency in all of them to begin at this time. At the upper end of the age level agencies and movements have found it very difficult to hold youth, in any organized sense, beyond the eighteenth year. The Italian move ment is effective even beyond the twenty first year because compul sory military service begins at this time. The essential changes ordered in the Royal edict of October related to the administrative set-up throu ghout the nation. There was furth er centralization of power in the unity of control and decentriliza tion of the local units into smaller groups. The tendency, in both di rections, is toward a more effective group organization with a greater uniformity in program and with a united front. Built Along Military Lines The entire organization is built along military lines. There is a Commander General and a staff with headquarters at Rome. This group is directly responsible to Mussolini. There is an assistant commander in charge of the prog ram for boys and an inspector gen eral, who is a woman, in charge of the activities for girls. Five major divisions form the frame work of the organization— 1. moral and professional prepar ation. 2. military, physical educa tion and sports. 3. personnel. 4. discipline and 5. health. In the ad ministrative set-up for girls all the divisions are similar with the ex ception of division one which con sists of moral developement and in addition, training in the domest ic and social science and arts. Set-up) Includes Smallest Hamlet From this central . organization the set-up moves downward to the smallest unit in the smallest hamlet and rural area. Each step is simi larly organized along the pattern of the Rome group.. Thompson is dvided into provinces, then city and village units and then local groups. Each step is efficiently (Cont.

Cinderella did and so did young Dr. Preston and his friend. Cinderella left her slipper, but Dr. Preston left his hat. A whirl wind of circumstances not only swept him away, but almost drown ed him in them as well. Love, ro mance, 'a thqft, a publicity stunt that almost wrecked a depression, a business boom, a mixed' medical diagnosis, a string of pearls, two hitch-hih|ers, a cat thlat was part tiger and a goldfish are only part of the things suddenly thrust into his life. A dollar would have been an immense amount of money if he had had one. A real comedy that pro vokes an avalanche of laughs. The play is full of funny situations and clever lines.

' nunter Performs Good Trick i The Sad Part Os It Was That The Trick Failed To Work Magician Gordon Hunter had charge of the Rotary Club program last Thursday night and he was supposed to perform a few tricks of magic. One of the tricks was to break an egg in the hat of Jim Harris, city manager. Mr. Hunter broke the egg in the hat, but the trick did not work. The result was that the city manager received his hat back in rather bad shape—egg and all. ALONG THE WAY— ALL APPEARS -> TO BE QUIET NO NEWS ! Gen,e Thompson introduced for mer Governor! Ehinghaus at a meeting of the Young Democrats in Reidsville last night. You can still hear the applause ringing from his introductory remarks. B. B. Knight says that Roxboro is going to have a real ball club this year. Knight doesn’t even be lieve that he will make the team un less he can shave off 40 or 50 lbs. It looks like an impossible task to us. Jim Winstead, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Winstead, weighs about 70 pounds. He can hardly see over a tennis net, but he is a real player. PUBLISHED SUNDAY AND THURSDAY NUMBER THIRTY-NINE NOTHING VERY DEFINITE YET EXCEPT CHANCES LOOK GOOD The Roxboro Country Club may be able to secure W. P. A. aid for work on the golf course and the grounds of the club. If the help can be secured it will mean that the golf course can be finished at an early date and that the financial burden will be relieved to some ex tent. So far there is nothing cer tain about the fact concerning the W. P. A. help. It is known that aid is being given to projects of this kind and the officials will make an effort to get some for the Country Club project. The W. P. A. will give a certain amount towards materials if this or ganization accepts the call for help. So far four holes on the golf coar se are about finished and the of ficials are making every attempt to get started on the remainder. A new roof has been put on the club house and other improvements have tak en place. Much work has been done and much remains to be done, but it seems to be a settled fact that Rox boro will have a golf course before long. Officials are optimistic concern ing W. P. A. help.
