EoRcE0HcoRyEEEa AMEHr.
cANscrrIzEnEMowM BEL
GUM. DEsuzEsro LOCATE
IN KEYswEsr

George H. Coryell, an .Ameri-
can citizen now in Belgium. has
decided that Key West is the spot
he would like to call home, and
would like to bring with him his
collection of paintings, etchings
and engravings and place them
where the public will have an
opportunity to see them without
any charges.
This is the information, or part
of ilf contained in a letter reeeiv-
ed at the Chamber of Commerce
this knorning and, as Secretary
Singleton says, this is quite con-
trary to the usual experience, as
Mr.. Coryell will place his entire
collection on view with no charge
to those who desire to view them.
1t is quite easy to understand
why Mr.. Coryell wants to have
these irreplaceable things out of
the shadow of the war clouds
towering over Europe. and Mr..
Singleton suggests that a safe
storage place could be provided
in Key West, pending Mr.. Coryell
providing place of his own,
which he writes is his intention.
The catalog of the collection is
at the Chamber of Commerce,
and all who are interested are in
vited to go and look over the
catalog, which has 107 numbers,
and some of them, such as No. 4,
portrait of the wives of Rubens,
brunette and blond, the former
dressed in red velvet and the lat
ter in blue Both showing jewels,
it is an ancient canvas and an
historical work. acquired from
the Leopold galleries.
There are many such numbers
and the possession of such. a col
ection would confer a valuable
distinction on Key West. Once
this collection was open to the
public it would be a magnet which
would attract artists from far and
near.
There are other reproductions
in the catalog, as No. 10. picture
of Christ being laid in the grave,
painting on brass by GARAGE, a
superb work, ivory tones, acquir-
ed from the Themis galleries.
Also So plates after Raphael,
of the famous paintings in the
Vatican at Rome, engraved on
brass by famous engravers of high
prominence. This considered a
rare Italian collection. All of the
engravings are IL by 10 inches.
Miniature Persian art of the
IL sicle. This is on white en-
bosSed porcelain of a man on a
white horse, blue background
showing a bird, and rare and Gu
rious type of flowers. This is an
ancient antique, 10 by 8, and was
acquired from the Porte de
Namur. uf

interesting to note the similarity
OF the first and third of these

AT this meeting, several years
ago., said Mr.. Miller, 'Mussolini

tary. and in sympathy with its

object. at least, in which he and

In Mr.. Miller's opinion, the

advice or pressure from Hitler.
In concluding, he gave some
advice to Rotarians, which would

BETTER FARM MARKETS

Our state commissioner of agriculture,
W.9Kerr Scott, is to be highly commended
for his efforts to get the federal govern
ment to aid the states in the development
of farm marketing facilities and we hope
that the bill recently introduced in Con-
gress by Senator Bailey, asking the gov
eminent to appropriate $5,OOO,OOO annually
for the purpose of promoting marketing
service for farm commodities, will be pass
ed
AS the Winston-Salem Journal pointed
out last week, lone of the most vexing pro-
blems of the farmer especially in the
south, has been the lack of satisfactory
markets and services. It is of little advan-
tage to the grower to produce surplus of
vegetables, melons, fruits and other perish
able produce if the marketing facilities
available to him are not adequate or salts
factory"
1t was further pointed out that "the APP
preparation provided in the marketing bill
would enable the state and federal auth
critics to establish better facilities for this
purpose"
At the hearing in Washington, Mr.. Scott
made this apt observation-"It is time for
the government to pay more attention to
marketing< The President says one-third
of the nation is ill-clad and ill-fed, yet we
have surplus of agricultural products.
Millions are being spent to educate far
mers to produce things economically and
to hold down their production, but only
small amount is allotted for marketing &C.
tivities," he emphasized
Herein lies real challenge and the solu-
ton to this inadequate distribution prob
lem will greatly benefit the farmers of
North Carolina.
