Girl Determined To Keep Puppy Parents Decide To Keep Girl's Puppy CHICAGO (UPD — One o'clock in the morning is late for a 12-year-'old girl to be wandering around the city, but love— especially a genuine puppy-love — knows no bedtime and distance means nothing. Renate Brahar, 12, Who disappeared from her home Monday night turned up in an all-night restaurant Tuesday morning, a foxterrier puppy cradled in her arms. Her cheeks were tear-streaked, and she was tired and dirty. Authorities estimated the weary but determined little girl had walked about 15 miles. She held tightly to the dog and gave employes her uncle’s name and address in Arlington Heights, her hoped for destination. Her uncle identified Renate to police and gave them her family’s address. The girl left home with the puppy after her parents changed their mind about keeping the dog, given to Renate by a friend. They were planning a vacation and there was no one to take care of the dog. So Renate set out for her uncle’s home with thoughts that perhaps he could find room for the terrier. But suburban Arlington Heights was a long trek for a 12-year-old. Once back home, the girl’s mother decided the puppy-love was too great to be denied. “I think we’ll let her “Wep the puppy,” Mrs. Brahar said.

To Seek Speedup In Auto Negotiations Retired Workers To Hold Demonstration DETROIT (UPD — An estimated 5.000 retired United Auto Workers ■ union members planned to demonstrate today in an effort to speed up negotiations between the union and General Motors. Union leaders said the workers, drawn from among 29.000 in the Detroit ■and surrounding areas, would “slow march” around the General Motors administration building where negotiations were in progress. Talks with the “Big Three” of the -auto industry—GM, Ford and Chrysler—have been in progress since March 25 but neither side has reported progress on any of the major issues, despite the fact that contracts with the company expired almost two months ago. Company officials said the demonstration would have no effect on the negotiations as far as they were concerned. “We plan to remain in the negotiating room as long as the union officials will talk with us,” said Earl Bramblett, who was heading the GM negotiating team. “We do not plan to leave the room to witness the demonstration.” At the Adams county memorial hospital: Paul Richard and Carolyn Charleston Beard of Willshire, Ohio, are the parents qf a baby girl born at 2:05 a.m. today and weighing seven pounds and three ounces. > 1 • Makes Laxatives Old Fashioned kSK NORMETS Rexall's new, safe, modern formula to relieve constipation without a laxative!
