AGED ALIEN IN
 LINE AT P.O.
Mrs. PasquaIe Jamele, 95, Unassisted in Register=
 ing Here

Mrs. Pasquale JameIe, who was born in Celenza Valfortere, Italy, long before Italy was an Axis power, long before, in fact, Italy was a united nation, went through the for mality of registering as an alien at the post office here yesterday. Mrs. Jamele is 95 years old, and when she was born Italy was experiencing its birth bangs and still had many years of revolutionary movements ahead of her before she became a nation in 1870.
 Mrs. Jamele, clasic picture of old age, walked unassiSted to the regis tration office, politely refused assist ance offered b yone of her relatives. "Yes," she was 95, she said, but what does that mean? "No," she never used a cane, never wore glasses.
 Mrs. Jamele waited patiently in line and when her turn came, she answered questions clearly and firm ly. When asked by reporters, she answered several questions not di- rectly bearing on the business of registration. She was in fine health, she said, and liked to walk about in weather of all sorts. You don't have to be young to get around" she told reporters, and walked briskly from the office to bear out the truth of her statement.

MOTION TO SET
 ASIDE IS FILED

A motion to set aside the verdict on the grounds that it was against the evidence and the law was filed in superior court today by Attorney Edward Mascolo, counsel for Eorenz Buck, of Waterbury, who yesterday lost his legal battle to break the will of his daughter, Anna Buck Robinson. A superior court jury found the will to be true will af- ter deliberating five hours yester- day.
 Buck sought to break the will on the ground that his daughter, who bequeathed her entire estate valued at more than $24,000 to her husband, Stephen, president of the Palace Cleaners and Overs, was not of testamentary capacity when she drew the document. Attorney Wal ter F. Torrance and Henry Camp bell defended the will.

Movie Revues
"BARRICADE" is FEATURED
AT THE ROYAL THEATRE

Since the public's taste in motion
pictures has gone on the trail OF
strict realism, Hollywocd's lovellest
feminine stars can no longer pass
through cinematic fire, flood and dis
aster with every hair in place and
makeup unmarried. Instead they
have to take it on the chin, literally
and figurative1y, and they like 1t.
Even the most alluring Of t." film
beauties has found that sacrificing
Immaculate charm for realism has
added to rather than hurt their fan
appeal.
For example, there is Alice Faye,
one of the most piquant of all screen
lovelies. She goes through a con-
siderable ordeal in some Of the Sc
quence of her current picture, Bar
ricade," in which she co-stars with
Warner Baxter. She is d~ishevelied.
Her clothes are thoroughly muddied
and torn. She simply revelled in
the role, for it does add to the re-
alism of her fine acting.
Hot on her trail is Warner Bax-
ter, a cynical foreign correspondent
after Alice's story. A ne'er-do-Well
]adventurer, making trouble when he
can't find it, Baxter finds it this
time with Alice. Together they live
a startling drama in the midst of
peril, learning to love when death
seems to be only an hour away.
Charles Winninger, Arthur Treach'
err, keye Luke and Willie Fung are
featured in the supporting cast Of
'Barricade," which opens today at

QUALITY
EMPHASIS URGED
North Carolina Industry Could
Stand Further Expan-
sion, However

RALEIGH, Feb. 25-Although the
North Carolina poultry industry
could stand further expansion, the
emphasis should be on quality
rather than quantity, c. F. Parrish,
extension poultryman at State col.
lege, said today.
According to the latest federal
census, there were approximately
10, 600, 900 chickens on the farms of
this state, and since there are 3OO,-
900 farm families, this would give
an average flock of 80 birds to the
farm.
Parrish said that the average
could be expanded to 40 birds per
farm for a more ideal condition.
With quality birds, this number
would provide the average family
with plenty of eggs and meat.
If the farmer wished to go into
the poultry business to supplement
his cash crop income, 300 quality
laying hens is an almost ideal mum.
Der for the small grower. Egg in
come from these birds would closely
approach 5000 annually, Parrish
said.
Naturally, the State college poul
tryman pointed out, best resul:>
cannot be secured with poultry I'm.
less they are given good car and
proper feeding. Them. too, the
farmer should start with quality
chicks that have a background Of
good health and high productivity.
That poultry raising is being
handled more efficiently is indicated
by improved methods being used BY
successful North Carolina poultry
men. Early-hatched chicks from
well.bred, selected flocks are being
used to make more profitable layers
Also, more p%oultrymen are follow
