First item is the al lotment that they have just receiv ed and the second item is blue mold. A number of Person larmers are satisfied with their allotments. Many were displeased and are doing every thing within their power to get their acreage increased. A major ity will plant a little more than they are supposed to plant just in case something happens to a part of what was planted. Blue mold has already invaded the plant beds, but does not seem to be so dangerous at the pre sent time. All planters apparently have more plants than they could ever need under normal circum stances and unless the disease be comes serious Person farmers will not have to go east after plants. Fertilizer sales have started up fairly well since (allotments weKe announced and in a short time plants will be set out. So far no information as to the number of pounds of tobacco that can be sold has been released.

Italian youth movement Perfect Example of Effective Propaganda Beginning At Age Six, Italian Youths Are Graduated From One Organization To Another Until They Are Ready For Admis sion To Fascist Party At Age Os 18 Government Even Has Control Over Private Institutions (Editorial Note: Although he personally does not favor the plan of dictators, Professor Meyer in the following article presents impartial ly aims, objectives and achieve ments as he sees them during his study and travel in Europe. In this week’s article he describes the training given the advanced youths in preparation for full-fledged membership in thje Fascist Pferty.) By Harold D. Meyer, Kenan Traveling Professor University of North Carolina The most colorful ceremony spon sored by the Italian Youth of the Littori is known as “The Fascist Levy”. It is a three-fold graduation period when the Balilla becomes an Avanguardisti, or Advanced Youth; the Advanced Youth moves up to a Young Fascist and the Young Fascist is admitted into the militia and membership of the Party. The rite occurs on April twenty first which is the day that comme morates the founding of Rome. Youth, officials and members of the party along with interested citizens gather at the principle city in each province of Italy for this occasion. Representatives attend from imore than twelvb thousand local units. It is one of the most significant day for the party as it demonstrates the continuity of the Revolution by symbol and practice. This spectacle takes place amidst decorated surroundings and in bril liant array. Each individual is in full uniform and all banners and flags of the different units are on display. The ceremony itself is very beautiful and the dignity of pro cedure is most impressive. The Provincial Commander of the Youth organization gives lists of members, who are ready for gradu ation, to the respective leaders and presents to the Secretary of the Party a list of young Fascists who are ready to become members of the militia and party. Pledge Faith To Duce These candidates come . together in special formation. The party secretary pronounces the oath to the new recruits who in, tui'n repeat it, thus signifying their willingness to accept its obligations. The oath translated is as follows: “I swear to execute without discussion the orders of the Duce and to serve with all my strength and, if neces ROXBORO, NORTH CAROLINA* ROTARIANS OF AREA GATHER IN OXFORD E. G. Thompson Os Roxboro Res ponded To Address Os Wel come By B. K. Lassiter Oxford, N. C. Rotarians from 6 cities of this area met here Thurs day night and heard Claude F. Gad dy, superintendent of schools in Ra leigh urge them and their clubs to take the initiative in making their committees more progressive. Thie inter-city meeting held in the dining room of the Baptist church here, opened with group singing, led by Irby Hoyle of Henderson with 'Miss Virginia Carroll accompany ing. B. K. Lassiter welcomed the guests, and E. G. Thompson, presi dent of the Roxboro Club, respond ed. Wives of the Rotarians were spe cial guests; and were welcomed by Mrs. Lena Mitchiner. Mrs. Sam M. Bason of Yanceyville replied. Frank Pierson of Durham invited members of. the civic club to the 189th district conference, including (Continued On Back Page) sary, with my blood, the cause of the Fascist Revolution”. The membership card is then given to the young Fascist and he becomes a full-fledged party man prepared to meet his responsibilities. The Commander of the Militia Legion next presents to the new Fascist recruits their rifles. This is done in ceremonial style when some seasoned militiament give rifles to the young Fascists. Then the second phase of the pro gram takes place. Lined up facing one another the Young Fascists pre sent to the Avanguardisti his neck erchief of yellow and red—the col ors of the City of Rome. An em brace takes place in which a pass word and a pledge of loyalty is given. A similar ceremony is used to promote the Balilla to an Avan guardista. The rite is concluded when the entire group salute the Duce with the famous Fascist cry, “A Not”. The ceremony is' followed by many festive and gala occasions throughout the nation. Advanced Youth Having completed the two stages in the Bolilla the boys become A vanguardisti or Advanced Youth. There are, also, two development stages i n this group Avanguardisti, age 13-15 and Avan guardisti Moschettieri, advanced youth with rifles, age 15-17. Here we have the period of early and late adolescence. The boy is in his physical and mental revolution and this fact is demonstrated in every aspect of the program. Leadership is fully aware of the situation and the scope of activities are built ac cording to these needs qnd possibi lities. The chief aims during this pe riod are to inculcate the “feeling” (sentiments) of discipline and mili tary training. Discipline is defined as “respect and obedience not only to their superior, but all officers of army, navy, air force, militia, government and party. The youths, "when in uniform, are required to salute the personnel of these groups at all times and in all places. There are penalties ranging from formal reprimand to dismissal from the organization for disobedience of these regulations. The program of action may be 'Classified under five headings: 1.

Car Crashed Into Bridge At Bartons Mill About 11:15 P. M.; Suf fered Crushed Skull Body Brought Back To Roxboro Ben J. Brogden, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben J. Brogden of 501 East Trinity avenue, . was killed about 11:15 o’clock Friday night when his automobile crashed into Barton’s Mill bridge about six miles from Roxboro on the Durham road. Dr. A. F. Nichols, Person county coroner, said a crushed skull and broken jaw were responsible for the death, which apparently was in stant. Brogden’s left knee was also injured. The Durham youth, about 23 years old, had been visiting in Roxboro and was returning home when he evidently lost control of his light sedan on a curve and drove it into a heavy mesh wire fence leading to the bridge. The automobile skidded along the fence for about 30 feet, crashed into the left abutment of the bridge, bounced over to the right side and then swung back to ap proximately the middle, where it came to a stop. Its left side was demolished. Driving Alone Young Brogden was driving alone. He was a frequent visitor in Rox boro. Persons coming upon the wreck age summoned the Woody funeral home ambulance, but the youth was dead when reached. His remains were taken to the Woody establish ment pending funeral arrangements. Brogden was highly popular a mong Durham’s younger set. His father is head of the Durham Mat tress company. o LEXINGTON INDIANS DOWN ROXBORO 13 TO 2 The Lexington Indians, of the North State League, led by Manager Phil Lundeen, trounced Roxboro 13 to 2 here this afternoon. The game was played in a slow drizzle. Dillinger, with a triple and two singles, led the visiting attack while Simons turned in an excellent mound exhibition. Slaughter and Lunsford were Koxboro’s lelading hitters. COAST BLIND AID MOUNTS Los Angeles, Cal. This county, with a population of about 1,500,000 has 400 more blind persons on its relief rolls than the 13,000,000 of New York State. Their support is costing $130,000 per month, the e qui valent of 11 per cent of the total disbursements for 36 states. ALONG THE WAY— ALL APPEARS TO BE QUIET NO NEWS Just as we expected Jack _Strum could not obtain permission from •home to attertd the Kiwanis meeting in Raleigh Friday night. For some unknown reason Gus Deering was there. George Currier said that Gus refused to go home after he finish ed work that day and therefore he did not expose himself to “his mas ter's voice.” Gus had a nice time. Bill Walker is Treasurer of the Country Club and Bill hopes that the W. P. A. will approve the idea of furnishing money and labor for this project. The reason is that he has two golf clubs. Back ahout 1925 Bill attended school at Wake Forest. While there he played two rounds of golf and now he thinks that he is an experienced player. His golf may PUBLISHED SUNDAY AND THURSDAY NUMBER FORTY-TWO Altho He Lost His Second Match To Fayetteville Player He Pro ved That He Had Plenty Nat ural Ability Along Tennis Lines Roxboro To Play In District Meet Next Week Altho Barden Winstead, high school tennis flash, was defeated in the state tennis tournament at Chap el Hill last Friday he drew high praise from Coach Kenfield of the Carolina Varsity. Kenfield stated that Winstead has as much promise as any player that was present for the meet and that he should develop into a fine player. He watched Win stead play for quite a time. Winstead won his first match a gainst Archer of Shelby, by the score of 9-7, 5-7, 6-2. He lost to Sulton of Fayetteville, by the score of 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. Winstead and Thomas of Roxboro, playing doubles lost to Fonveille and Wells of Wilmington, by the score of 6-0, 6-3. Barden Winstead has been playing tennis ever since he was large e nough to hold a racquet in his hand and he has improved every year. He finishes high school next year and will probably enter Carolina. The high school tennis team plans to go back to Chapel Hill next week for the district meet and they are determined to come home with a little bacon. The Roxboro team has no coach and the boys do the best they can without the aid of one. So far they have done very well and plan sev eral more matches this season. C. L. BROOKS FILES CLERK OF COURT ■ -C. Lester Brooks of Roxboro filed! notice of his candidacy for Clerk mt Court of Person County late Satur day afternoon. Mr. Brooks held this position sev eral years ago and ran for the same position the last time. At the present time this post Is held by Miss Sue Bradsher of Box. boro.

Cra ven keep talking about their gar dens. This doesn’t mean that they have anything in the garden, but it does mean that the young boys are doing their very best. One can't help but admire their courage and we hope that Mother Nature will be kind to them. Dr. Hedgepeth has started tennis. His game is ,a little weak to start with, but that puts him in the same class with Wheeler Newell, Gordon Hunter, James Long, Jr., Curtis Oakley, Dr. Allen and a few more self-styled experts.
