Facts For The File
Now that Italy seems to be on the
way out of the war, it is interesting
to point out that the last war cracked
when Bulgaria sued for peace, four
years and three months after the be
ginning of the first World War.
Turkey and Austria capitulated a
month later and Germany signed the
Armistice just forty-three days after
Bulgaria quit
Italy has been in the present war
three years and two months but the
struggle was approximately eight
months old when Mussolini "stabbed"
France in the back.

What About Housing?
The Perquimans Weekly believes
that sufficient time has elapsed since
the announcement by Aubrey Mc
Cabe, State Housing official, that the
priority for a housing project for
Hertford had been awarded to an or
ganization in Fayetteville, for this
concern to come forward and let the
authorities of Hertford know juit
what progress is being made with tne
project.
The fact that our local government
officials have been kept in the dark
on this project since receiving word
from CoBgressma-i Herbert Bonnet
that authorization iiad been made
gives it the appearance that some
thing In wrong' in "Denmark."
Mr. McCabe, according to informa
tion learned by The Weekly, informed
a local source tin', this priority was

cogent offer broadcast to the Italian
people by General Eisenhower. It
is reported that these clear and gen
erous terms have reached Italians, not
through their press or radio but
through underground channels and
mimeographed leaflets.
Apparently the Badoglio regime is
either bargaining with the Allies, or
-parring for time against the Ger
mans. Its official radio line is that
the Allies said they were fighting
Fascism and since Mussolini and the
Fascist Party are gone, they should
stop fighting Italy. Of course this
overlooks the nub of the situation
Italy lies between the Nazis and the
Allies and still serves as a base for
Hitler's armies. General Eisenhower
did not ask the Italians to put the
Germans out, but merely to stop
helping them.
Possibly the only way for Italy to
stop helping Hitler is to let the Allies
iVi. And probably the neatest way
to do that is secretly and suddenly so
the shift will be complete and Italians
will be' protected so far as possible
from Nazi reprisals. Such an oper
ation may be shaping behind all the
talk. But a resumption of Allied
bombing over southern Italy is read
in some quarters as a sign that
Badoglio has already rejected the
Eisenhower offer.
What Rome is really asking for is
not clear. No realistic statesman
can expect to be allowed to escape

lon't let anybody tell you it is fun traveling these
days it "ain'jt no fun" . . . wherf you have to stand
up the entire distance of your trip.
But that is what is happening many times, especially
during week-ends, when lots of people are traveling
to resorts and beaches for an outing, crowding buses
to capacity. It's not fun when you board a bus and
find no seats . . . just standing room.
But that is how it is . . . and it can't be helped. There
isn't a possibility that we can get additional buses to
ease the increased demands on our service. So, we
must ask your cooperation.
It would be swell if we could add a lot of extra buses
o take care of the increased travel over our routes.
We did it for you when it was possible, but this is out
of the question now.
Office of Defense Transportation governs the. number
and mileage of our buses and thus with extra heavy
traveling during week-ends,, our buses are usually
taxed to capacity.
We suggest that you travel only when it is absolutely
necessary . . . then be sure to plan your trip well in
advance. Consult our Bus Agent nearest your home
for complete travel information as to schedules least
crowded, arrange for your ticket ahead of time and
travel light. When you board a bus take only one
piece of luggage. This saves time and trouble for us
and worries for you. t
