Air Show Staged By Paratroopers
At Sicily Drop Zone Thrills I9OOO
An Air Show and mass drop
of paratroopers, joint exhibition
of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Div
ision and 505th Arbome Infantry,
the the 18th Air Force, thrilled
a crowd of some 1,000 spectators,
including members of the Sand
hills Kiwanis Club and their
guests on Wedneday afternoon at
Drop Zone Sicily, on the Fort
Bragg Reservation.
They saw 240 men parachute
from C-119 medium transport
planes to the ground in several
mass jumps, saw armed jeeps,
howitzers and Army trucks drop
ped from the skies, the fully
equipped and ready-to-go jeeps
weighing 4,200 pounds, the how
itzers, 6,000 pounds, and the
tiuee quarter ton trucks, 8,000
pounds. They are lowered be
neath two huge chutes of 10,000
square feet of nylon.
The Kiwanians, members of
the 310th and 322nd Logistic
Commands in training at Bragg,
ROTC students from northeast
ern colleges, students of the Psy
chological Warfare School at
Bragg, and radio, TV and news
papermen from around the state
witnessed the demonstration,
staged with military precision,
without delays and without mis
hap. It was a brilliant demonstra
tion Of landing capabilities on
unprepared landing areas, and of
the load capabilities of planes
and parachutes.
The program started shortly
after 1:00 p. m. with officers out
lining through loud speakers to
the large audience what they
were to see of the joint coopera
tive efforts of the Army and the
Ar Force, as taught at the Af-
Groxmd School in Southern Pines
and developed and practiced at
Bragg and Pope Field. There
were many demonstrations in
front of the stands showing, clo^
up, how paratroopers leave their
planes, how their chutes open-
of guns, jeeps, and trucks pack
aged for drops from planes to
land without damage; of how
combat control teams operate in
advance of the mass landing of
paratroopers. And they saw if
they looked quickly a numter of
F1-84F jets pass the reviewing
stands at a speed in excess of 500
miles an hour.
The Kiwanians, families and
friends were guests of Brig. Gen
D. W. Jenkins, USAFAGOS com
mandant at Sbuthern Pines and
himself a member of the Sand
hills club. They were transported
to the drop zone in Air Force
buses and, through the courtesy
of the ladies of the Southern
Pines Methodist Church, provi
ded with box luncheons.

Invitations For
Sandhills Tennis
Tourney Mailed
Invitations went out this week
for the ninth annual Sandhill In
vitational Tennis tournament, to
be held August 15 through 19 on
the municipal courts.
Plans for the tournament were
made at a meeting led by Tom
Cunningham, president of the
sponsoring Sandhills Tennis asso
ciation, last Thursday night at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Hodg
kins, Jr.
Though the Junior Sandhills In
vitational had to be canceled this
month, because of a conflict with
the State Open at Asheville, it
was decided not to incorporate a
junior division in the traditionally
adult event. This matter was dis
cussed.
A new trophy will have to be
provided for the men’s singles |
championship, as Bill Umstaedter
of Abbeville, S. C., retired the W.
M. Storey Memorial trophy, do- ,
nated by Voit Gilmore, with his
tiiird-time win in 1955.
Women’s singles champion is
Evelyn Cowan of Georgia, who
defeated Southern Pines’ Audrey
West Brown (now Mrs. Harvey
Johnson of Burlington) in the 1956
event.
The Sandhills draws top players
from several southern states. It
is sanctioned by the Southern
Lawn Tennis association and rated
one of the leading tournaments of
the summer series.

Local Craftsmen
Demonstrate Art
At Asheville Fair
A candle-making demonstration
by the Carolina Soap and Candle
Crafts, of this locality, is a feature
of the ninth annual Craftsman’s
Fair of the Southern Highland
Handicraft Guild being held all
this week at Asheville.
The demonstration shows the
process of making candles in the
old-fashioned way — pouring,
wicking and dipping, all by hand
—as it is done at the . Carolina
Crafts shop on US Highway 1
south, between Southern Pines
and Aberdeen.
Jack and Jane Hicks of South
ern Pines, owners of the soap and
candle business, their daughter
Debbie, and Mrs. Pearl Schutte,
of their staff, are in Asheville put
ting on the demonstration.
This is the first non-menaber
craft to be invited to the Guild’s
annual big event, which is devot-
led mostly to mountain handcraft
industries, annually drawing
many visitors from a wide area to
look and also to buy. Their per
manent display and marketing
center Allanstand, is nationally
famous. The-Fair is being held in
the Asheville auditorium.
The Carolina Soap and Candle
Crafts makes scented soaps and
candles. Besides their thriving
tourist trade from the highway,
they sell through some 2,000 gift
shops in the country, but, their
main business comes through the
mail. Advertising placed in qual
ity publications brings individual
orders from all over the United
States and several foreign coun
tries.
