White House Guarded by New Fence Children in Italy Begin Military Drills at Tender Age of 6 Years These Beginners Are Known As The Children Os The Wolf At Age of Eight They Become Members Os An Older Youth Or ganization Known As The Balilia Physical And Military Aspects Stressed. But Time Is Also Provided For Other Recreational Activities By HAROLD D. MEYER, Kenan Traveling Professor, University of North Carolina Rome, Italy, April 10 Every Saturday is known throughout Italy as Fascist Saturday. Just make the rounds of any community on a Sat urday afternoon and you will find the boys and girls of the nation on parade. They come in droves to part and every recreation field in every city of Italy. They are on the streets and boulevards of the towns and on the highways of the countryside. The same picture will be found throughout the nation on every Sunday morning. Squads, or large units, of urban youths hike to the open country and there in the rural atmosphere go through the activit ies of their program. Rural boys adjacent to the cities make frequent excursions in to the heart of urban life to ascert ain the arts of the city dweller. One could hardly drive around any area in Italy on a Sunday morning without meeting youth groups in action. Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings are the principal meeting times of the Italian Youth of the Littori. Practically everyone of the six million members turn out for these occasions. Twice a week throughout nine months of the year the vast majority of the youth of this Fascist State gather together for comradeship and action. Some time during the three months of the summer they attend camp for a period of from twenty to forty days. The over-ptovdpring impression that one gains from constant and close observation of these youth in action is expressed by one word— drift. Everywhere it is drill, drill, drill. Everywhere it is the tread of marching feet, lines of youth row upon row, the stamping of feet to the command of the “passo” and the swinging of arms in rhythmic unity. Uniforms, columns, squads, commands and unity of action, all, combine to give an over militaristic atmosphere to these meeting pe riods. And this military emphasis is the feature element in the pro gram. The leadership of the nation, both within the party and the you th organization, proclaim it. They make no attempts to minimize or hide it. It is an absolute necessity as they see it. Not Altogether Drills But one must hot get the impress sion that the youth movement is entirely a matter of drill. There are many other interesting and worth while activities. The entire fields of sports, athletics and games are utilized. Formal and informal gym nastics occupy a prominent place. Wholesome play and recreation in iheir broadest and most complete sense permeate the program, Liter ary arts are stressed. Handcraft, of all types, are manifest by excellent productions. There are numerous yearly contests constantly chal lenging the physical and mental a gility of youth. The things that all boys and girls, of all nations, enjoy doing find expression with these Italian youth. This article will deal with two branches of these marching, play ing, growing youth—the first—The Children of the Wolf, and the sec con—The Balilia. These two groups comprise the lower bracket of the age levels as they embrace the periods from six to twelve years. The Children of the Wolf Throughout Italy and especially in Rome one frequently finds the statue of a wolf nuturing two lit tle boys. Roman mythology tells us of these two boys, Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, nur tured in early life by this friendly wolf. The original of the statue is on exhibition in Rome at the Capi toline Museum. Copies in bronze, marble, stone and portraits are numerous within the city for the statue is the official emblem of municipal Rome. The Youth organization has captured this piece of mythology to signify the youngest group in 'the set-up. In Italy the group is called “Figli della Lupa” which trans lated means “Sons of the Wolf.” The title, however, applies to both boys and girls and the unit is com monly called “Children of the Wolf”. In the October 1937 Royal edict the classification is listed as—all those below eight years of age. It is possible for parents to make ap plication to the head of govern ment for membership of the child so that it might be enrolled at birth and bound for the full span of life to Fascism. It is understood that most parents apply early, in fact, some ever-ardent Fascists claim (Continued On Page Two) WPA Official To Inspect Golf Course Tuesday, April 12th.

ROXBORO KIWANIANS INVITED TO OXFORD Date Is Slated For May 10th. And Golf Match Proposed For Af ternoon DECISION EXPECTED MONDAY Members of the Roxboro Kiwanis Club have been invited to meet with the Oxford Kiwanis Club on May 10th. In connection with this inter club meeting the Oxford boys have issued a challenge to the Roxboro boys for a golf match prior to the meeting that night. J. S. Beverly, chairman of Ox ford inter-club relations committee, issued the invitation to the Roxboro Club and expressed the hope that Roxboro would accept the invita tion. This invitation and challenge will be discussed at a meeting of the Roxboro club Monday night and it is thought that both will be accept ed. The Kiwanis Club does not have so many expert golf players, but they can get up a fair team. About one month ago the Roxboro Club played the Oxford Club in basket ball and the Oxford boys went home soundly whipped. They are now out for revenge. ALONG THE WAY— ALL APPEARS TO BE QUIET-NO NEWS The local High School Tennis Team came through with a victory over Danville on Wednesday after losing to Chapel Hill on Tuesday. “Flea” Winstead came through with another victory under his belt and altho he could hardly see over the net he managed to drive them to all corners. The recent cold snap was bad on the members of the Young Men’s Garden Club. Many had hoped to have snaps and peas in a short time, but this weather may stop the gar dens from growing. Tom Brooks has another member in his family and he was very much worried about the outlook. A. B. Buchanan keeps writing articles for this paper. We have tried to stop him but he keeps on writing. Oh well, he says that he is going to get his part of the Buch PUBLISHED SUNDAY AND THURSDAY Price Has Already Been Secured On Materials And Estimate Will Be Made On Labor; Everything Looks Very Favorable At Hie Present Time. Jobless Are Urged To Register On Tuesdays and Fridays Mr. Pittman, of the W. P. A. of fices, is expected to be in Roxboro on Tuesday of this week for the purpose of inspecting the Roxboro Country Club Golf Course and to make an estimate of the labor that will be required to complete the course. It has already been estimated that material required to finish the job will cost $4,000 and the labor will be in addition to this. The title to the property is in the hands of the City of Roxboro and it looks lilf» some help might be obtained from the W. P. A. All people who are without jobs are urged to register with the re employment office on Tuesday and Friday of any week in the Court house. Labor for this project must come from the unemployment ranks and a person must be certified be fore they are eligible for jobs on a project. No one knows whether this pro ject will go through or not. At the present time everything looks very favorable and those who are in charge are feeling good about the matter. No work on the course has been done for the past several days. Money has been running low and help must be obtained from some source before work can be contin ued. Four holes are about complete, but there is much work to be done over the entire area and on the club house. Roxboro Beverage Co, To Dis tribute Ruppert’s Beer The Roxboro Beverage Co. has been appointed distributor for Jac ob Ruppert’s Beer in this territory. Ruppert’s Beer is nationally known and will prove to be a favorite with the people here. This same local concern also dis tributes Black Eagle Beer. Mr. Clayton and Mr. James, pro prietors of the beverage company, invite you to give these beers a trial. PALM SERVICE TODAY AT 4:M The Palm Sunday Service will be observed at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church this afternoon at 4:00 o’- clock with the Rev. A. S. Lawrence, Jr. in charge. The public is invited! anan Estate when it is settled since his part will amount to thou sands and thousands of dollars we might as well stay on his side. We can use a man like “A. B.” after he gets all that money. He also says that Bill Walker is going to get a part of that fortune. Bill is ready for it and seems to be willing to take anyone’s word con cerning the money. He probably will retire after the money comes, not before. Dr. Robert Long brought his wife to the Kiwanis Club last Monday. Mrs. Long gave an excellent talk concerning her experiences in nurs ing. Before she began Robert in troduced her and said that she did all of the talking at home and he had decided to let her continue at the club. All of the members knew that but did not think that Robert -would admit it
