OTHER LITTLE NOTES
The case of the “tprowler’ who
haw been walking around on the
at the home of Mr. and
VN- Louis C. Stephens has bfea
solved and the prominent Din*
couple is able to sleep again.
,', Tt was about six weeks ago that
litre. Stephens waa awakened by a
iibise that sounded like footsteps
on the roof. She woke up her hus
ban and he promptly called Dunn
piolice.
Two policemen rushed to the
scene immediately and soon solved
the problem. The burglar turned
out to be a huge possum, a big fat
one. After quite a battle, the two
officers caught the possum and
brought him down.
As fate would have it. however,
the possum made a get-away when
3ey hit the ground so Mr. and
rs. Stephens had to endure the
nightly prowling of the possum.
The police suggested to Mr. Step
hens that he get a gun and shoot
the pest, but Mr. Stephens, a very
polite considerate fellow, said he
preferred not to disturb his neigh
bors, that he had rather suffer
himself than do that.

! The nationwide walkout was
, called by officials of the General
! Confederation of Labor who ac
cused the government of President
Eduardo Lonardi of reneging on
its promises. The COT, which
claims a membership of 6.000,000
was a mainstay of deposed dicta
tor Peronls power and offered dur
ing the last days of his regime to
mobilize a civil militia for his de
fense.
It was the secondi time in three
days that the COT challenged the
government. The Lonardi govern
ment met the first defiance by dis
missing the officials of the 2,400
member unions and ordering elec
tion of new union officers within
four months.
The government crackdown
spiked at least for the moment

newspaper El Lider. only Peronista
organ remaining in Argentina,
warned them that it may lead to
“civil war.”
An executive decree stripped
Peron of his generails rank for
conduct unbecoming an officer in
his public and private life.

Peron was roundly criticized for
his relations with his teen-age
mistress, 16-year-old Nelly Rivas,
in a report by a military court
of honor which exaiAined Peron's

UNITED FUND DRIVE
Should Reach Quota
United Fund collections in businesses where there
are more than five employes are slated to start this week.
Mrs. Marjorie Warren, executive secretary of the Fund,
said today that about a third of . the total amount collect
ed for the combined all-for-one campaign can be expected
from this source. * »
At present: she said, the house - to'-house collections
are two-thirds finished, and tfie solicitation of business
men and professional people is about over.
In plants keeping a number of employes, the United
Fund will send a representative to give a talk on the ob
jectives and accomplishments of the drive and to ask the
employes to make pledges which can be fulfilled through
deductions from their paycheck.
Mrs. Warren said today that she believes the town
will pass over the top in its drive to collect almost $35,000
for a total of 10 community, research and charitable in
stitutions.
A check with collectors who haven’t turned all their
collections or pledges in indicate that the drive is going
very well, she said. Mrs. Warren pointed out, however,
that in Raleigh, which started its campaign at about
the same time as Dunn, many areas have already gone
well above the quota.
Local persons who have somehow been missed in
the house-to-house campaign should call at the United
Fund office, 101 East Cumberland Street, said Mrs. War
ren and make a pledge, i
“Tell them if they want us to send someone out to
them, that’s all right, too,” she said.
