First Of these Is that Rome
definitely has become the clearing
house for peace, and that Musso-
lini and the Pope are working
theoretically, even feverishly, to
end the war.
From this alone 1t woul dappear
that Roosevelt was amply justi-
fled In sending Myron Taylor to
Rome as special envoy TO the
Vatican.
The second fact Is that Musso-
lini and Roosevelt have exchanged
several private messages regarding
their general hope for peace. The
messages went through third par
ties, but were effective none the
less. In the most important one,
the Italian dictator, who three
short years ago denounced Roose-
velt's Buenos Aires speech attack.
Ing dictators, proceeded to butter
up Roosevelt In approximately the
following language:
"In yourself, myself ana the
Pope we have the three people
In the world most able to bring
about peace. The Pope has the
greatest spiritual power and the
greatest influence in oil Cath0.

Europe, and you have the brains
and control the greatest reserve

BRITISH DISTRUST
Offset against this italian Gag
erness for peace Is o certain
amount OF British and French
distrust. While there are very
strong peace elements within the
British government, they are o
little wary Of Mussolini.
They feel that he Is o bit too
anxious, that he may be merely
O blind for Germany, that actual.
ly 1t is Germany, not italy, which

Despite this distrust, the British
ambassador In Rome, Sir Percy
Lorraine, has had some important
conversations with Foreign Minis
ter Ciano In which @ considerable
Cancellation has been inter-mixed
with O certain aloofness.
Perhaps the most conciIlatory
Overtures was Sir Percy's hint
that n o United States Of Eu-
rope should be created, the
boundaries Of Poland and
Cxechoslovalsla would not be Inn
p0rtant. This indicated that
the British would permit these
two countries TO remain largely
under German domination.
The British ambassador also
limited that In forming any United
States Of Europe, It might be de.
sirable to discuss raw material
supplies for those European ma
lions - presumably italy and
dermany-which lack them.
Mixed with this, however, was
the very positive statement that
Great Britain would consider no
peace until Hitler stepped down,
and completely surrendered the
reinS Of government.
HITLER THE ENIGMA
One thing which makes the Bri.
fish O little suspicious Of the Mus
solini overtures is that they can't
figure out Hitler's part In the
picture.

@. Does ice ever become colder
than 80 degrees F.?
A. It becomes much colder In ex-
tremely cold climates. Ice can exist
at any temperature below 80 degrees
F., just as water can exist at any
temperature between 80 degrees and
212 degrees F., or steam at any tenn
perature above 212 degrees F. In the
Arctic, observations have been made
of surface ice with a temperature
lower than 6 degrees below zero F.
The temperature increased gradually
down through the ice to 30 degrees
F., approximately the freezing point
Of sea water.
@. Must q worker retire In order
to receive his monthly benefits under
the Social Security program?
A. Yes. But under the revised
law, his 65th birthday does not nee
essarily mark the end Of his par
ticipation in the insurance plan. He
will continue to accumulate wage
credits as long as he works in job
covered by the program, no matter

are much like the well known sun
tan makeup. The liner, used to
outline the eyes, and the lipstick are
brownish red, as the television pick
up tube Is slightly more sensitive to
reds than to other colors Of the spec

sential In television, but its use en-
ables performers to present fiat"
surface to the camera, with all skin
blemishes or bad texture features
concealed. The liner gives sharp
outline to the feature.

Long Control
For Tobacco
Is Proposed

Greensboro, Jan. 9.-Claude T.
Hall. president of the Graham Pro-
duction Credit association and
chairman of the tobacco growers
advisory committee, in 4 statement
received here yesterday proposes a
tobacco control program last three
10 five years.
Mr.. Hall, in his statement, de-
clarcd he found widespread belief
that uncertainty growing out of
year-to-year program would tend
10 hold prices at low level.
The text Of the statement fol-
lows:
Recently 1 have taken a swing
through the tobacco section and
find that the demand for three
to-five-year program for tobacco is
greater than ever before. Growers
are thoroughly aware Of the fact
that if we are TO receive the great
est benefit and return from their
sacrifice in reduction of acres, so
as to make it more effective, we
must have a program for more than
one year. It is evident that the
buyers will not pay as good an
average where there is an uncer-
tainty as TO the size OF each sue
cceding crop. It makes the program
harder to administer because Of the
new growers taking up the increase
in acres, by reason Of increase in
consumption, thereby, causing much
dissatisfaction on the part Of regu-
lar growers.
Recognizing these advantages
and disadvantages, / have sounded
out the feeling and judgment Of the
North Carolina Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, North Carolina department
of agriculture, members of North
Carol>'a grange, tobacco growers
advisory committee, state AAA
committees and several congress-
men, and above all the growers
themselves, and the feeling Of all
is that it is to the best interest of
all concerned and that they are all
ready to use their full force and
support to join with lis and ask
congress to amend the present bill
so that we may have chance to
vote for a longer period.
MAY l suggest to the growers
that you support this movement
because, if carried through, we can
gradually overcome the depressing
effect of the war and the surplus
created by this record crop, other
wise, we will continue to take dras-
tic reductions. In the meantime al
lets be content with our acreage
lotment for this year. After all
this may prove to be blessing in
disguise, in that we may devote
more time and thought to growing
our farm requirements, improving
our farm and conserving our soil
which is one Of our greatest needs
Il will present a much needed op'
portunity to take stock Of our way
of farming and give new thought to
the development of long range
system which will eventually work
out for us a greater economical IN
dependence. 4 happier and more
intelligent home loving people. The
most intelligent, the most progress
sive, the most successful farmer
and the one who makes the greatest
contribution to his community
state and nation, is the farmer who
first learns to love his soil and
grow on it we'll balanced crop
