A few days ago, the boat from the Yugoslav Zone had on board some fifty young girls. All pleasant, soft-voiced, dark-haired Italians, none older than 20. But there were clear marks of suffer- ing in the faces of these young women, who were abandoning their homes, their families, and their livelihood, in search of that intangible conception which is human freedom.
All were teachers in the Italian schools of the Yugoslav Zone. They had carried out their duty with the love and passion, these Italian borderers have for their country and for their race. Until one day they were summoned to a meeting.

Switzerland changes definition of "chronometer"
UNTIL November 15th, 1951, the Swiss Federation of Watch: Manufacturers ruled that the term "chronometer" was descriptive of: “A precision watch regulated in different positions and various temperatures, capable of obtaining an Official Timing Certificate."
On November 16th, 1951, the Federation modified this ruling. It now reads as follows: "A precision watch regulated in different positions, HAVING OBTAINED an Official Timing Certificate.”
In other words, in accordance with this new Swiss /regulation, no watch may be termed "CHRONOMETER"
Look for the Rolex Red Seal, attached to query Rolex Chronomètes
unless its precision has been proved by a Swiss Govern- ment Testing Station or by an Observatory.
Rolex welcome this new, logical, and clear-cut definition. We lect it will prove beneficial both to the public and to the Swiss watch industry.
We have always considered it necessary to submit our watches to the impartial tests of the Swiss Govern- ment. Every Rolex chronometer offered for sale has previously obtained an OFFICIAL Timing Certificate and bears the words OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED CHROND- METER on the dial.
This new definition, therefore, vindicates a policy which we have applied strictly for a great many years."
