THURSDAY, January 11, 1945 SOCIETY WOMEN'S ACCOUNT By NORMA NIER Phone 2206 MUSSOLINI'S MARCH ON ROME FAKE SAYS DR. FRANCO AVERARDI IN EBELL ADDRESS Sometimes legends grow that have no basis in fact and such is the story of Mussolini's March on Rome, Dr. Franco Bruno Averardi, internationalist and diplomat declared Monday to members of the Anaheim Ebell club while talking to them on the "Rise and all of Fascism." There was no march on Rome, he said, because Italy's king invited Mussolini to come to Rome and form a cabinet and because there was no opposition the so called famous march is historically incorrect. The king feared Mussolini's power so put him in power and when his popularity had waned he was ejected and the days of fascist dictatorship were at an end. Because of the speaker's personal connections with the rulers of Italy and the prominent part he played on important commissions in the past he was able to give club members many interesting sidelights into the modern and turbulent history of the country as well as in depicting its past history. His father-in-law was Vittorie Emmanuel Orlando, one of the Big Four at the Versailles conference after World War I and his cousin and personal friend is Marcello Saleri, minister of war just prior to Mussolini's rise to power and member of the present day Italian cabinet. Since the fall of Rome Italian cities have been fighting against monarchy and freedom and national unity was not achieved until 1870. Even then the nation lacked spiritual, intellectual and social unity so that much confusion resulted in these experiment- Donna Stabbert Birthday Honoree At Supper Party The last birthday before the teen age is reached is one of importance and should be fittingly celebrated and that is what Donna Stabbert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Stabbert of 545 South Clementine street, did last Saturday when she was honoree at a supper party given at her home by her parents. Appropriate to the season the party theme was carried out in snowball manner and the long supper table was cleverly centered with tall tapers and a birthday cake that held a snowman. At each guest's place appetizing popcorn balls proved clever takeoffs of snowballs. The young guests were bidden for 4:30 o'clock and prior to the supper hour enjoyed a neighborhood scavenger hunt. The guests were divided into two groups and the winning group was awarded an interesting prize. For the games played after supper prizes went to Marilyn Fox and Bonnie Smith. Mrs. Stabbert was assisted in hostess duties by her sister Mrs. Walter Schroeder of Anaheim. Besides the honoree, Donna and her sister, Joan, the guests present included Della Horn, Joan Spencer, Dorothy Jean Kuchel, Bonnie Smith, Marjorie Wright, Alice Fries, Joann Neumann, Carol Domries, Marilyn Fox, Jacqueline Whiteman and La Vonne Hart.

Since the fall of Rome Italian cities have been fighting against monarchy and freedom and national unity was not achieved until 1870. Even then the nation lacked spiritual, intellectual and social unity so that much confusion resulted in these experimenting years. Following World War I they were still a naive people and were unable to stand against the big powers. Instead of presenting a united front against common enemies the parties within Italy began to fight among themselves and therein lay the open way for Mussolini. Furthermore the king has always been asking without real power and a mere respected figure-head. When faced with a crisis he was not able to cope with it and thus he handed the reins of the government to Mussolini. Mussolini, on the other hand, lost much of his power when he turned it over to the clique that put him in office and he shared the fate of other dictators when he found that he didn't dare relax and consequently territorial expansion was necessary. From then on he led his country into disaster; Ethiopia followed by the League of Nations sanctions against Italy and finally the alliance formed with Hitler. In conclusion he pointed out that Italian people are not warlike and because of it they could not follow Mussolini and Hitler, so in the end they turned against Il Duce. The speaker was presented by Mrs. August Schumacher, program chairman following the business session that was presided over by Mrs. John Wilson, president. During the business session Miss E. Kate Rea, treasurer, presented the annual report showing that the club was in excellent condition financially. Miss Lena Rowe announced that members have now purchased $28,850 in war bonds. The luncheon hour was given over to honoring past presidents of the club and each gave a two minute talk on work and plans accomplished during her year in office. A camilla corsage was presented each past president and the luncheon tables were effectively centered with talisman roses.
