Members of the Industrial Arts Department of Roxboro high school constructed two garages in this city before school was out and these two garages would be a credit to any carpen . ter.

By HAROLD D. MEYER ..Kenan Traveling Professor,.. .University of North Carolina.. This is the second of the three articles devoted to European con ditions. The first presented ev ents of the immediate past which have lessened tension and also described some of the larger problems confronting the con tinent. This article wEI attempt an outline of Italy and Germany —the two countries so promi nently in the public eye due to their leadership and forms of government. Individual situati ons and conditions wEI be stres sed. No attempt has been made to compare or contrast the two. These individual conditions color the picture as a whole and tend to create pressure from with in that provoke tension without. First, let us consider the situ ation in Italy. For the first time since the ancient Roman Empire Italy is completely united and effectively organized under one I government. The past 15 years have witnessed a knitting to gether process which has pro duced good results. Two very simple principals have created this condition—the first expresses the idea of super iority—“we are good”, “we are the best” and like connotations, while the second is based on the 1 old principle that “in unity there is strength.” Both of these forces have led to a high spirit of na tionalism and a fervid patrio -1 tism. Nothing has been left un -1 done to create this condition and build it into a power that can ' assert itself at any time. Unity Now Achieved When Mussolini came into power in 1922 Italy was in ter rible shape. Today she stands as one of the strongest nations in Europe. Working in the basis of the two simple principles he has transformed the nation into ab solute oneness and given the people a sense of security. Every citizen possesses a difini. te responsibility to the govern ment and has a feeling of pride in this conjtribution no matter how small it may be. This has been created a totalitarian state in almost perfect form. If I have caught the process of reasoning in Italy it runs thus:' 1. Italy feels that in the past few decades she has had to appear as a second rate nation and accept unjust and unsatisfactory propo- sals and decisions in internation-' al affairs. This was true because she was weak. She, therefore,' needed to be strong. 2. There was an utter lack of unity which persisted through the Great War and the years im mediately following. Italy must be united—ltaly for Italians and Italians of Italy—became the patriotic slogan. ■ 3. Through events of history' her empire had been destroyed and her colonial possessions distributed. She must build back her empird—this was essential to her life and growth. However the conquest of Abyssinia be came a necessity and its success gave her Empire rating and re-' established in her a sense of pride and ownership. She be lieves that she will contribute much to the advancement of the Ethiopians as well as afford to her population colonization op portunities and miUtary values. This reasoning can be summed up in one word—strength—ltaly must be strong. That has been and is her task. She has exerted every ounce of energy to buEd into a powerful nation and the . results sp|tok for themselves. Today Italy must be accounted for in any movement involving Europe. I believe Mussolini is the most powerful man in Euro pe today and has brought Italy (Continued On Page 4) < o New Presidents of the United States do not provide their own china when entering the White House.

TIMES GOES TO SEVEN COLUMNS Major Change Made Last Week, But Will Require Some Time For Adjustment 160 Inches More Per Paper This edition of the Person County Tinges, and also last Thursday’s edition, is larger by one column to the page than any the readers of this paper have ever received before. The change was made last week and will be continued unless complications set in that are not expected. The old size of a page in this paper was 120 inches, now it is 140 inches and the eight pages make a total of 160 column inch es more to each eight page pap er. Making this change required a large amount of time and may take several weeks before the press and folder can be ad justed to the new size paper. The publishers hope to be able to give the readers a better paper by virtue of having more space for reading matter as well as for ads. In about one year the Times has made two major changes— first, changing from a weekly to a semi-weekly and second, from a six column paper per page to a seven column paper. o Barton’s Mill To Be Rebuilt Will Start Work On New Struc ture At Timberlake Monday Barton’s Mill, burned to the ground about ten days ago, wiE be rebunt at once, stated Leonard Barton yesterday.
