SPANISH TEACHER
Cuban Refugee Fears Native
Land May Be Another 'Berlin'
A Cuban who will teach the
Spanish language in Wakelon School
this year fears that Cuba will become
the “Berlin” of that area.
Dr. Jose Louis Hey Barreait said
he is afraid that because of the Com
munist infiltration and influence the
tiny country of Cuba might suffer
the consequences which the German
city of Berlin is undergoing.
Barreau said his country has been
and is being taken over subtly by
the Russians. He said everyday the
Communists are becoming bolder,
and are coming more and more out
into the open.
The soft-spoken Cuban said the
country’s situation is awful. He
averred that the Communists are in
control of every phase of Cuban life,
public, private and political.
Barreau said the government is
filled with Russian advisors. These
Communists “really run the ministry.” i
He thinks that Cuban premier Fidel
Castro would not last long if he did
not have the support of Russia. He
said Castro has had to resort to open
violence to maintain his power.
Barreau, saddened and frightened
at the goings on in his own country,
received permission from the Cuban
government officials for 'him and his
family to come to the United States.
His wife and child followed him a
short time later.
He said everything they owned
had to be left behind. He was able
to bring three suits, his wife three
dresses, and his son three garments.
Everything the refugees leave is taken
over by the government.
He said before anyone is allowed
to leave the country the police in
spect all the household appliances
to see if they are in working order.

ur, jose oarreau
Some persons sabatage the articles
because they don’t want the Cotn
munists to have them. He said he
had heard that many of the things
left behind by refugees are sent to
Russia.
The family came to Miami by air
plane.

Grocery Robbed Saturday Night;
Police Still Looking for Thieves
Police a<e still investigating a i
breakin of Piggly Wiggly store Satur
day night. They have no clues.
Owner Frank Wall discovered the
breakin Sunday morning about 7:30
when he visited the store.
According to Janice Pittman, store
employee, the burglars gained en
trance into the store by tearing off
a 12-inch square air vent located over
the meat departament cutting room.
The entrants then used a brace and
bit to cut the ceiling hoards.
A one-section painter’s ladder was
found on the roof. It was thought
the burglars used the ladder to
climb to the roof and then pullet! the
ladder onto the roof to keep it from
being seen.
Pittman said \ some change was
taken from the cash registers. He
woidd not divulge the amount, but
said no “folding money” was taken.
The thieves tried futilely to get
into the 500-pound safe. They beat
up the combination lock and not
being able to open it, turned the
safe over and evidence showed they
beat on the bottom of the safe.
Tire thieves must have become
hot anil hungry. (The electric current
was off so there was no air condition
ing.) Scattered over the store were
numerous wrappers off ice cream.
Pittman said he/ did not know if
any merchandise was missing. He
said it would be hard to miss because
of the huge amount of shelved goods.
The burglars left by way of the
back door of the building.
A Raleigh fingerprint expert was
called in Sunday.
Policeman L. A. Baker was notified
of tlie breakin when Wall discovered
it. Baker was later assisted in the
investigation by Sheriff’s Deputy
S. J. Blackley.

Fall Must Be Officially in Zebu Ion
For Ladies Are Starting to Clubs
Fall is officially here when the i
women’s clubs start functioning again.
The combined Senior and Junior1
clubs hold their first meeting Tuesday
night, September 4, at 8 o’clock at
the club house, Mrs. Armstrong Can
nady, senior president, has an
nounced.
Mrs. Cannady invites all civic
minded women of the community
to meet with the clubs for an informal
business meeting.
Because of the little interest shown
by the junior-age women of the town,
the Junior club was taken into Senior
club. At one meeting of the Junior
club there was only one member pre
sent besides the president. The
Junior club was at one time one of
the most active civic organizations
in the town.
Rather than have the Junior chib
destroyed completely, the Senior club
voted to take it into the older or
ganization. The Junior club is an
outgrowth of the Senior club, anti
the senior members hope to see the
Junior club reorganized and active
again.
Mrs. Bobby Sherron was the last
president of the Junior club.
Hostesses for the first fall meeting
of the clubs will be Mrs. F. E. Bunn,
Mrs. J. F. Coltrane and Mrs. E. H.
Moser.
