BY GEORGE BRIA

ROME, Aug. 4-(delayeO--
R-1n every corner of liberat-
ed Italy today, Italians ask
me the same hopeful ques.
ton: will we be able to 20
to the United States after the
WARP"
And it doesn't come from
just the disillusioned, bitter
youth who are unable to see
any future in this war ravaged
land. Middle aged men - pro-
1esslonal men-have told me.
We want to get out of here.
We want to go to America"
So the truth is that countless
Italian are sick of Italy-for
political as well as economic
reasons-and they pin their
hopes on "a new life" over
seas.
Emigration consequently is
sure to be one of the burning
issues in postwar Italy and the
Italian press already has be-
gun to call for a scrapping of
the quota system" where
by less than 1000 Italian emf
grants were allowed to enter
the United States each year.
Here are some of the argu-
ments they give for a revision
OF this system:
IA victorious United State
will be the only country in the
world to which a war torn
humanity will be able to turn
for commodities and supplies
for at least 10 years. This will
mean tremendous increase in
American production and a
consequent need for labor.
Italian labor knows no peer.
with all the reconstruct
ton that will be necessary in
Italy the country will be un-
able to employ all of its labor
potential. Italy is rich in hui
man quntity but poor in ma
tural resources. The surplus
labor be put to work in
Americ. producing the ma
terials necessary to recon
struct Italy.
3.-Before 1941, more than
100000 Italian workmen went
to the United States every,
year. From those emigrants
came steady stream of
money which "rejuvenated"
the Italian treasury. The
Italian treasury now certainly
needs Regeneration"

that many Of them want to go
to America so that II will be
left alone" and so that II will
have some freedom. Many of
them predict that the Italians
will start shooting each other
and they are too tired, too
just as soon as the Allies leave
cynical and too disillusioned
to take part in it.
The United States is not the
only country rich in natural
resources which could use
Italian labor. There is Rus
STA for example but while there
is much talk about Russian
prestige in Italy. I haven't met
one italian who wanted to

Mrs. Doyle came here from Homo

One day this week she return

The following item is taken
from newspaper published dur
ing the early days of the first
world war:
Live War Stories From
Dickinson
Freezing, Oct. % (1917) Special
This is one of the places in
Uncle Sans domain where peo-
pie who do not read the papers
are more informed as to the
"news" of the day than are those
who read them. Just how this
non-reading element gets the
news, one is left to guess. Maybe
the birds carry it to them, ana
maybe they just close their eyes
and it comes into their minds
anyway. they can tell the read
ers Of things they never see IN
the papers.
The following racy items have
never appeared in the papers but
they are passing current from
mouth to mouth in Dickinson.
The king of Germany (known
to newspaper readers as the
Kaiser) was at st. Paul Ga little
railroad town on the Clinch Val
ley division of the N&W) the
other day and all the German
miners from Toms Creek went
over to Sc him. They all threw
him in money, and it is estimat-
ed that he made up twenty-five
or thirty dollars to help carry on
the war against France and Old
England.
A law has recently been enact
ed under which all the tobacco
users will be taxed six dollars
yearly for the privilege. The law
provides that if this tax be not
paid at the proper time the de-
linquent shall forfeit both his
lands and personal property to
the government and shall have
his tobacco privileges taken
away.

European rulers and celebrities
of the past so years. She also
collected phonograph records of
classical music, and was noted
for her paintings.
She was married to Prince
Henry in 1888 on the Isle of
Wight in a church her father
had designed and rebuilt by
Queen Victoria. Prince Henry
died of fever aboard a British
warship off the African coast af-

People in Mount Clemens

are doing here, and need not be

what the other agencies are do

something was wrong.
Immediately her husband left

disappeared.
Some distance away, she OBJ
served a man running through
the field and then heard a car

does not include any city activ-
ity. If the City desired to turn
the Health Department over to
the County, it would have to
pay for the operation and Incl
dentally would have no control
over it.
1t has been suggested that
some better plan could be work
ed out. However, as hereinbe-
fore set forth, because of the
fact that the matter could not
be Immediately organized, the
Board of Supervisors has done
nothing relative TO it.
Attention is also called TO the
fact that, as was publicized at
the time, the question Of the
value of the County Health Unit
is a highly controversial one.
We note with satisfaction that
the report, even though made
by a trained investigator" no
where says that Mount Clemens
is in an unhealthy condition, nor
did the Investigators find any
condition which they deemed
such a hazard to the public that
they took the trouble to report
it to the proper authorities.
The City cannot control the
sale of milk outside the city To
individuals who may choose to
purchase milk and bring it to
their homes. However, we are
quite sure that the trained in
vestigator" was in error if he
meant to infer that any grea,
amount of unhealthful milk was
being distributed in this city.
Garbage and Refuse: The City
garbage ordinance, contract ano
service covers the entire city
People may dispose of their own
garbage if they prefer so to dc
rather than pay the small
charge for collection. However
the ordinance provides penaltie:
for disposing thereof in an in
sanitary manner. We recognize
| that the contractor, like every
one else, has had some help diff
ficulties during the last few
years and we believe that he is
doing his best to do a good job.
Persons not receiving service
may call the Police Department
and we are sure the matter will
be taken care of.
We believe that our City Is
kept in a clean and sanitary con-
dition and that the vast majority
of our citizens are cooperative in
this regard.
Qualifications of Health Off
GERS: The City Health officer
is William J. Kane, M. d. DR..
Kane has had Is years expert
ence in that capacity and we be-
lieve that he knows his job thor
oughly and well, and that the
fact that he is a practising ply
sician does not disqualify him
for his position any more than
the NJ. d. after the name of DR..
DeKleine disqualifies him.
Sewage Disposal: Construction
Of interceptor sewers and sew
age disposal plants is impossible
at this time and has been for
several years. 1t is a matter
