‘Thunderbird’ Is
Featured Here
Jacksojti Motors, Inc., is featur
ing the new Ford Thunderbird
which has attracted much inter
est as it has been unveiled recent
ly over the nation.
The long, low car, which meas
ures 175.3 inches in length, stands
only 34.2 inches high from tire
tread to top of door and is 70.2
inches in width, is “distinctively
different,” says Nolley Jackson,
head of the local company. De
spite its low lines, the car has 5.9
inches of road clearance.
Two tops are available for the
one-iseat Thunderbird—a disap
pearing fabric top or a removable
hard top. The Y-block V-8 engine
has a four-barrel carburetor and
dual exhaust, system, among
many other new features. The
steering wheel telescopes three
inches and there is a power-oper
ated four-way seat adjustment,
for driving comfort.
The Thunderbird comes in
three colors with harmonizing up
holstery—Raven Black, Torch
Red or Thunderbird Blue. The
instrument panel features a tach
ometer and a clock with sweep
second hand.

Although it was testified that
he had repaid a debt of $50 to the
Sandhill Finance and Loan Co.,
at Aberdeen, Leon R. Blue, 43, of
Aberdeen was bound over to Su
perior Court by Judge J. Vance
Rowe, on a charge of false pre
tense and fraud, in recorders
court ’ at Carthage Monday. Blue
pled not guilty.
Judge Rowe found probable
cause after pointing out that his
court did not have jurisdiction in
such a case but would like to hear
the evidence. He then said he
had no alternative but to let it
go to Superior Court. Bend was
set at $250.
According to evidence offered
Monday by Francis Harris, man
ager of the loan company, and
Deputy Sheriff A. F. Dees, Blue
signed a mortgage last May 6 on a
deep freeze and electric stove
purportedly belonging to himself
and his wife. A woman he pre
sented to the loan company as his
wife signed the papers jointly
with him, Harris said.
When payments on the debt
were not made, claim and deliv
ery proceedikgs were instituted
against the mortgaged property
which Mr. Blue’s wife then said
belonged to her, denying she had
signed any mortgage papers, ac
cording to the testimony in court
Monday. Her signature did not
match that on the papers, it was
testified.
In finding probable cause,
Judge Rowe recommended that
an effort be made to find the
woman who the prosecuting wit
ness said signed the mortgage.
The loan company manager said
at the outset of the case he did
not want to press charges, but ap
parently the evidence was such
that Judge Rowe felt the case
should go to Superior Court.
Second Offense
Hurricane Hazel played an in
direct part in charges of careless
and reckless driving and drunken
driving (second offense) against
Benjamin David Sineath of near
Carthage. Testimony offered in
court was that while Alonzo Shef
field, operator of a wrgcker serv
ice at Carthage, was removing
trees and trash from the road
after the passage of the hurricane
October 15, Sineath failed to heed
a signal to stop and ran into the
wrecker in such a manner that
the man giving the stop signal
had to run to get out of the
Sineath vehicle’s way.
Judge Rowe sentenced Sineath.

\ or any form of fine art as opposed

thoroughly enjoyable experience,
I “I would not know how to be

I but myself,” she wrote recently.
“I have very little technical skill.
I have blocked paintings in with

scious critical analysis I do is
done after the painting is almost
completed. I believe everyone can

satisfying to create anything
when you know you did it alone.”

MARY ANNE ROSS ... Art Should Be Enjoyable
Exhibition Of Mary Anne Ross’s Work
To Open Sunday At Library Gallery
Artist and Husband
To Be Present For
Afternoon Reception
An exhibition of paintings by
Mary Anne Ross, who lives near
High Point, will c-pen Sunday
afternoon with a reception for the
artist in the Southern Pines Li
brary Art Gallery at 4:30 p.m.
The Sunday event, open to the
public, will be the first such re
ception held in connection with
local exhibits, giving interested
persons a chance to meet the ar
tist whose work is on view and
hear the artist discuss the paint
ings briefly.
An exhibition of paintings by
Philip Moose, which opened the,'
gallery’s- season, is ending this
week. The Moose paintings, main
ly architectural and European in
motif, have attracted interest.
They were done during the young
North Carolina artist’s year in
Europe on a Fulbright Award,
during which he traveled through
Spain, France, Austria, West Ger
many, Italy and Sicily.
Mrs. Ross, who is 27 years old,
is the wife of G. M. Ross who will
accompany her to Southern
Pines, with a small group of their
friends, for the reception Sunday.
Mrs. Thomas'F. Marshall, chair
man of the Library Gallery art
committee, says that one pur
pose in arranging the forthcoming
exhibition is “to show a truly
free and creative ‘hobby’ or ‘Sun
day’ painter.
“She is outstanding,” Mrs. Mar
shall said, “and an example of
falo, where she received a B. S.
degree in Art Education.
After graduation in 1948, she
painted rarely and only in her
spare time because of a heavy
teaching schedule. She came to
High Point two and a half years
ago and has “painted more” since
then, twice entering the Guilford
County Fine Arts Festival.
There will be 10 oils, five wa-
tercolors and three tempera
paintings in the exhibition to
open Sunday.
LUXON ON COMMITTEE
Dr. Norvai Neil Luxon, dean of
the University Of North Carolina
School of Journalism, has been
named to a five-man advisory
sub-committee of the Committee
on International Exchange of
Persons. The sub-committee will
advise the Conference Board of
Associate Research Councils on
the selection of exchange profes
sors in the field of journalism.
