City Schools Get Two Weeks, 1 Day Christmas Season The Christmas holidays for the Shelby public schools have been set to extend from December 19 to Jan uary 6. This gives two weeks and one day from school. All holidays have to be made up by the extension of the time at the end of school term. In other words, the school operates 160 days exclu sive of holidays. The one extra day is added to the usual two weeks Christmas vacation to enable the schools to close on Friday at the end of the term. Two days were taken out at Thanksgiv ing, and two more will be taken out at Easter; the extra day rounds out a full week. Besides, the school authorities were eager to cooperate with the business people, who wish to employ school boys and girls to assist with the extra heavy Christmas sales. They are also eager to cooperate with the boys and girls who wish to make a little money by working during the rush shopping days. It is not being encouraged by the school folks, but pupils will be ex cused from school, who have a chance to start to work earlier than the regular adjournment of school and whose parents request that it be done. An investigation discloses that most of the managers of the various stores will not want their extra help before December 19.

Peace Plan Would Grant Two-Thirds |Ethiopia To Italy "Rectified" Boundaries To Give Italy Tlgre, And Addi tional Somaliland. ROME, bee. 13- The Franco Bfitish plan for peace between Italy and Ethiopia, made public today, would give Italy sovereignty or con trol over approximately two-third of Ethiopia. An ItdHan government spokesman said his government could make no comment on the proposal at the present but that It 'Is being studied with care.” The five points to the plan: 1 Italy would get sovereignty over Tlgre province, already conquered by her military forces, except for the sacred city of Aksum and a cor ridor connecting that city with Ethiopia; 2. The Danakil frontier would be “rectified” so as to give the Aussa region to Ethiopia In full sovereign ty. 3. The Somaliland frontier> would be "rectified,” running from the Kemya-Somallland boundary inter section to Gorrahel, west of Guar amdab to the Intersection of the 46th degree and the British Bomalt ind frontier. 4. Ethiopia would get a free port on the sea, preferably Assab, and a corridor leading to It; Fiance and Great Britain would undertake to get from Ethiopia guarantees against Importation of arms and munitions. 6. France and Great Britain would agree at Geneva to urge Emperor Halle Selassie to grant Italy a “zone of Influence” running from the 8omaliland frontier, established un der point 3, and extending across Ethiopia from the 35th to the 45th meridians of longitude and north to the 8th parallel; the emperor would have sovereignty over this zone of Italian influence, but would have an advisor who might or might not be an Italian. There would be a Lea gue of Nations committee to advise the Ethiopian monarch on internal affairs but no member of tills com mittee could be a citizen of any other interested power.
