New Drug Offers
Hope To Millions
BOSTON (UP)—Two doctors, one of them the incom
ing president of the American Heart Assn, have announced
discovery of a drug they said promised new hope for 15 to
20 million Americans suffering from high blooo pi'essure'.
The drug, named chlorothiazide,
is expected to be ready by next
January. It was reported in pro
duction now and available as sam
ples to doctors.
Dr. Robert W. Wilkins, 50, a
native of Chattanooga, Tenn., and
president-elect of the American
Heart Assn., and Dr. William Hol
lander, 32, of Waltham, Mass.,
made the announcement at Mas
sachusetts Memorial Hospital,
where they are on the staff.
May Extend Life
They said the discovery, pro
ducing a “startling new cure,”
would aid in the 25-year battle
against America’s most common
form of cardiovascular disease.
High blood pressure, or hyperten
sion, reduces life expectancy of
i most sufferers by as much as 20
years and strikes at the a”erage
j age of 32.
Wilkins and Hollander based
: their opinion of chlorothi izide's
effectiveness on tests made of 31
hypertension patients in Boston
during the past eight months.
Among their findings was That

Brandos Exotic Indian Bride
Just Ex-Welche Butcher's Aide
rHJLl, I WUUU (Ur|—SC
Marlon Brando’s exotic In
dian bride turned out to be
a former Welch butcher’s as
sistant name of Joanna O’
Callaghan.
Well, the joke isn’t on Brando,
gentle reader, it’s on you. And on
us newspapermen. For this is the
sort of hoax Hollywood has been
staging without inhibition and with
good profit since the silent flick
ers first made those of us born
everf minute curious about the
private lives of the stars.
And, what’s more. Hollywood
will go right on doing it.
We asked an independent pub
licity man today what he thought
of posing Miss O’Callaghan as
that Buddha-worshipping daughter
of the Himalayas, Anna Kashfi.
“So what?” he said. “As long
as no one loses money, or is hurt,
what difference does it make? It’s
a game the public expects.”
Miss O’Callaghan’s own studio.
Metro Goldwyn Mayner, says it
didn't know that Anna was not
an Indian.
“I didn’t know' her read name
until this marriage business came
up," said MGM publicity man Ho
ward Strickland. “We discovered
by checking her passport and work
permit that her name is O’Cal
laghan.
“Of course we Exploited the
fact she was Indian. It is always

Brando himself is the result of
a publicity campaign. He of the
mumbles, torn shirt and Bohe
mian background turned out to be
a kid from a quiet family in Oma

Orients. In his first Broadway
play, the program listed him as
born in Bangkok.
Arrests Fall,
But Drunks
Are Plentiful
Total arrests by the Dunn police
force took a slight dip in Septem
ber but the number of drunks,
taken off the streets for their own
or others’ safety, continued to
stagger right along.
Chief Alton Cobb, in his monthly
report to City Manager A. B.
Uzzle, Jr., specified that 22 per
sons had been arrested for public
drunkenness in the month of Sept
ember. That compared with 18 in
a relatively sober August and 34
during the heat of July.
Driving drunk was not as much
in evidence last month, however
— only three persons suffering ar
rest for that cause where there
had been eight in August and five
in July. Nevertheless, police esti
mated that whisky was involved
in 44 1 percent of all arrests.
In August that percentage was
only 40 percent and in July it was
38.1.
Of the 77 arrests recorded in
September, 4 were for assault
(well down from the total of 29 in
the two previous months), 9 for
no operators license, 1 for non
support, 15 speeding, 4 for care

United Fund Needs
Help Toward Goal
In spite of some spirited campaigning by the fund’s
leaders and reminders from President Eisenhower that
there should be no shirking on contributions, there was no
assurance today that Dunn will go over the top in its Unit

By this morning, total collec

roughly about a thousand dollars
less than a third of the target

No Tricks, Just Treaters |
From Halloween Headquarters, this message for those who some
times neglect a knock on Halloween:
When your doorbell rings on Halloween, and a youngster in cos
tume cries, “Trick or Treat for UNICEF”, you can breathe easily ir
the knowledge that the Halloween pranks at former years are nol
involved. With this abundant organizing skill, the churches have giver
Dunn children a new outlook on Halloween and transformed this da>
into one of wholesome treating to replace the old-styl tricking.
Pennies, nickels and dimes dropped into UNICEF cartons will
supply needed milk, essential drugs like penicillin to cure yaws, sul
fones to treat leprosy, and DDT to control malaria in' parts of the
world bearing the exotic names of Beehuanaland, Ruanda-Urundi
Burma Afghanistan. Ecuador, Surinam, and the more familiar Greece
Italy, Lndia, Mexico. Haiti and Peru.
Countries like these, lacking the resources and skills to solve
the basic health and welfare problems of their children, found i
impossible to progress until organizations like UNICEF provided the
necessary help. By sparking self-help. UNICEF has started many o
these countries on the road to a happier future for their children.
Youngsters from the Baptist, Presbyterian, Christian and Metho
dist churches will be out to see you on Halloween night, collectinj
with “Trick or Treat for UNICEF’’. You will be able to identify then
by the official badges and cartons. Please answer your doorbell whet
it rings and help our children help the World’s Children by givinj
your pennies, nickels and dimes.
Linden Youth
Killed Enroute
From Scout Meet
Thirteen-year - old Jackie
Gainey, Jr., walking home
from a scout meeting at Lin
den school, must have “tak
en a terrific blow” said Cum
berland County Coroner Alph
Clark.
With only scratches on the sur
face of his body, he was found
dead in the middle of a road about
midnight lasct night and an autop
sy performed in Fayetteville es
tablished internal injuries as the
cause of death.
Coroner Clark would not state
that a hit and run driver was at
fault but said that "being hit by
a oar or thrown from a car” could
have caused the injuries which
took the boy’s life.
As soon as some of the mystery
lifts, he expects to hold an in
quest. The highway patrol and the
sheriff's department of Cumber
land County are both investigat
ing and three men were at the
scene all morning, said Clark,
searching for clues.
“I’ve just talked to Wilson (a
Cumberland patrolman),” said the
Coroner, “and they don’t have
anything.”
The youth's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Allen Gainey, Sr.,
have a farm on Linden, Route 1,
about 14 miles from Dunn. Though
his name was Joseph Allen Gai
ney, Jr., friends and family call
ed him Jackie. He was in the
eighth grade at Linden school.
Coroner Clark said that he was
last seen alive at approximately
10:30. Leaving the scout meeting
at the school—he was a charter
member of a newly-organized
troupe—he accompanied another
young boy to a crossing where
they split up. That was the last
seen of Jackie until the soldiers
found him. His parents, though un
easy at his failure to arrive home,
had not organized a search when
news of his death reached them.
The surface scars, said Clark,
included some places on his back
and face which resembled skin
burns like those acquired from
rubbing across gravel or a skin
ning.
Funeral arrangements are in
complete, pending the arrival of
•me of his sisters. Mrs. Billy E
Byrd, from Nolanville, Texas. The
two other sisters are Mrs. Donald
Sherron of IJnden, Route 1, and
Mrs. Robert Simmons of Fayette
ville. A 21-year-old brother, Ern
est, lives at home.

“The big thing in toys
this year is going to be the
teen-age doll.”
That’s what they said in
Syracuse and, sure enough,
on returning to Dunn, which
after all, is part of the train

that the local Winn-Dixie
store has one of these super
: adolescent dolls (so human
you’re afraid to leave them
; alone at night) already on
' i sale.
High heels, filmy evening dress,
washable hair and all the rest of
it. These new dolls have every
thing that live teen'agers have ex
cept an inferiority complex and by
1960, the toy world begin what it
is, they will undoubtedly have
that.
This is only mentioned, though,
to emphasize that when one goes
to the big city, one gets cut in on
the nature of things to come. The
great movements sweeping this
nation of ours become apparent.
Truly, travel broadens.

nue School is a proposal that will be under discussion at
the Thursday night meeting of the Dunn city council.
This area is well-policed during
the periods when children are go
ing to and from the school, but
Mayor Ralph Hanna, who has pre
sented the plan to the council,
feels it would be worthy of adop
tion both as a safety measure and
to eliminate congestion.
City Manager A. B. Uzzle, Jr.,
has written a number of other
communities, where such one-way
systems have been put into effect,
for their comments and examples
of ordinances of the subject.
Also scheduled to come before
the council on Thursday is the
final forming signing of the gar
bage contract with private contrac
tor Herman Neighbors.
It was mistakenly reported that
councilmen had taken the final
step in this regard at their previ
ous meeting. Actually, two minor
matters delayed the signing.
One was the objection of coun
cilman Bill Bryan, who has stead
fastly opposed the contract with
Neighbors, to include his name
with the signers as the contract
offered at the last meeting provid
ed. The other was passage of time
which means that the contract
must be adjusted to cover a per
