Mr. and Mrs. Irl Summerlin

he’s just -mighty -busy,

The Chapel Hill Summerlins
were told by their Buenos Aires
branch never to mention Ar

-shortly after Sam and wife and
family arrived there April 1.
About the most political word
the parents here have received
was a note from Cynthia (Mrs.
Sam Summerlin) back in June at
the time of Peron’s first resigna
tion attempt.
She wrote to the effect that
“Sam says that Peron will at
tempt to resign today ... I pre
dict that thousands of people
will gather in the square and
stamp their feet and say ‘Peron,
Peronl’ and that -he will stay.—
Ugh.” —And of course that's
just about what happened, al
though the “Ugh” part didn’t

Tlte Clommunity Coiinc'il,
sponsoring group tor the annual
joint fund-raising drive, set the
dates at a meeting of the Council
executive committee on Tuesday
evening. At that time Chest Chair
man J. A. Branch also announced
the appointment of Roy Arm

missions, as campus division chair
man for the campaign.
Mr. Branch appealed to all
townspeople willing to be volun
teer workers in the drive to call
him at 9-461 during the day or at
9-1381 in the evenings. “W’e face
a big job in this year’s Chest drive

will be warmly welcomed now,”
he said.
Roy Cole, Chairman of the
Evaluation Committee of the
Chest, said his* group was still
considering budget requests from
14 agencies which have asked to
participate in this year’s cam

10 organizations participating in

of the town’s taking over an area
deeded as a public paHc, and on
North Columbia Street they look
ed at the sidewalk by Sloan’s
Drugstore, for which paving has
been proposed by Mr. Sloan.
Also discussed at the executive
committee meeting on Tuesday was
the use of the Health Fund, which

that his office would mail out
1955 tax bills to county taxpayers

In this connection he issued an

to at least three different tax
rates levied by Orange County.
He explained the system of bill
