A few days ago, you may re member, I cooked up a story about four space-men who landed on the Dunn High football field. The gist of the tale was that I had invited these gents to spend the night with me and in the morning they confessed they were a little down on their luck and willing to ac cept a handout from the County Welfare Department until they could get their space-ship going again. I received the tirst hint that there might be an uncxpeted re action when a sixth-grade friend carne flying at me, pointing at the headline and saying, ‘That ain't true—IS IT?” Later I was told that some of the paper-boys carried bottles with them that night as they de livered their papers. In case they met any old space-men, they were going to be prepared. TWO DAYS after the story ap ■ peared, there h^ been on parti I cular development although I had to assure a few of the town's younger fry that it was just a (Continued On Page Twe) Pineau Reports Russians Sent Arms To Tunisia NEW YORK (IP) — French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau said today that Ang o-American shipments oi arms to Tunisia did not head off possible arms deliveries from Moscow to that North African country. Instead, hs said they only succeeded in greatly angering French public opinion. Pineau made his statement shortly after arriving here from Paris on his way to Washington and talks with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. The Unitec States and Britain decided last week to supply small arms anc ammunition to Tunisia, a formei French protectorate. Pineau in effect denied a state ment made by Sen. Henry Jack son (D-Wash.l, who said the Anglo-American arms move was necessarf to counteract a poten tial Soviet supply of arms. Pineau said he had been as sured by Moscow that it did not plan to send meapons to Tunisia. He also asserted that Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba does not desire arms from the Soviets. Communist Victory ‘‘Never since the war has the Communist Party gained such a victory in France,” the tired for eign minister said at Idleraild Air port. ) ‘‘These (arms) shipments have ieen a very bad preparation for :he NATO meeting. French public jpinion is very troubled by this question. It is not my intention to nerease this trouble, but in Wash ngton I must say sincerely mhat s the state of this opinion.” Candy Prays For Girard CAMP DREW, Japan OP) — Pe ite Haru (Candy) Sueyama Gir ird knelt before a Shinto shrine oday and prayed that the Mae tashi court would show mercy oward her husband, soldier Wil iam S.

Owner Johnny Wellons said a crew worked all day yesterday clearing up after the fire, but to day the plant was back to nor mal operation except for one pro duction line. Wellons, who started with a small candy store and eventually built it into one of the most thriv ing Industries in this area, said that a fire-sprinkler system had prevented the plant from going down in flames* “Most of the actual damage was done by water,” he said. “There wasn’t so much damage from the fire itself,” Night watchman Alonzo Walker went off duty almost two hours before the fire was discovered, but he heard the fire alarm go off when he stepped out on his porch near the plant. The Dunn fire de partment was summoned and Wel lons credited them with fast ac tion. Walker, he said, had found smoke pouring out of the build ing, The sprinkler system kept the fire in control while the fire de partment was on its way. Howard M. Lee, secretary-treasurer of the Dunn fire department, said ten men and a truck went to the scene but 13 men and two other I trucks were standing by at the station in case they were needed. The alarm sounded at 8:48 Sun day morning. The firemen were back to the station at 9:30. Lee estimated the water and smoke damage at several thousand dol lars. Wellons said he had not cal culated the loss but had fire in surance to cover it. His candy company, which dis tributes its product through 25 or 30 states, is about two weeks aw ay from the end of its busiest sea son. Christmas production has been in full swing for several weeks with Wellons expecting to com plete this special business by Dec. 1. The fire was traced to an air ccndltioning unit. Wellons said an insulated ceiling had taken fire, setting off the sprinklers. Mach inery and candy in the wrapping and packing room were damaged. In this room were 500 trays of chocolate drop centers — 10 lbs. to the tray — 40 drops to the pound. Enough to fill a lot of stockings. WINNER AT.
