Visited Italy as Youth.
Christopher is twin brother Of
Columbos Facchina. The twins
were named Christopher and Co.
lumbos because they came into the
world on October IL, 1925, birth
day anniversarysof the Genoan sea-
farer who discovered America.
When Christopher was II years
old, the family took a trip to Italy,
where they visited Mrs. Facchina's S
parents hear Venice. They kidded
Christopher that he would remain
while the family returned to the
United States of America.
If you are going to leave me
here, I will kill myself" retorted
Christopher.
Mrs. Facchina learned through the
Red Cross sometime ago that her
mother, who survived her father,
is dead, but she still has one sister
in Venice and another in Rome.
Mrs. Facchina was 20 years of age
when she came to this country.
"Of course I want the United
States to win the war" she says
with conviction. This Is our coun-
try, and we have had so many
good things here. But I wish we
would win the war quickly"
Mrs. Facchina believes that the
Italian government treats war pris-
oners well. Her chief fear is that
her son may have been transferred
to Germany. AS for Italy, Mrs.
Facchina says that Italy Joined

STRONGEST ARGUMENT
One of the strongest arguments
presented in favor of the proposal
came from Will S. Fawcett, pioneer
valley resident and member of
the gasoline panel of the El Centre
board. Fawcett told of migratory
agricultural workers being given
special gasoline when changing
places of residence and said the
position of Imperial county resi-
dents was a similar one as many
persons virtually changed their res
licences during certain periods each
summer.
Fawcett told the visiting OPA'ers
that he had resided in Imperial
county for 35 years and had never
spent an entire summer in the val
ley.
Alec Corey. OPA attorney. said
that provisions of the rationing pro-
gram prevented the district office
from authorizing allotment of sup

toward the plea and would sup
