TBnS PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolinn
INCLUDES DALI. MADAME CHIANG
Current Art Exhibit Composed Of
Series Of Interesting Contrasts
The art on view at the Library
Gallery this week represents such
a series of contrasts that the be
holder is apt to feel a bit dizzy,
to start.
It ranges the world and the cen
turies;, actually, it includes, too, a
good many forms and mediums of
art: though being of necessity very
small as to number of items
shown, there is only one piece of
sculpture, only one wash drawing,
only two ikons, stnd so on. But
brief and almost startlingly varied,
both as to excellence and interest,
the show is a most worthwhile
one, to be enjoyed by both con
noisseurs and the general public.
On entering the small gallery,
one is confronted by a striking
painting: a brilliant snow scene,
the work of the Canadian artist,
Eric Riordon. The canvas is loan
ed by Mrs. Fred W. McBride, who
comes here from Canada to spend
the winter months in her home in
the remodeled stable on the Vale
estate in Weymouth Heights. The
painting is of the realistic school:
so truly realistic, in fact, that it
brings a shiver to fhe spine to look
at the dark icy water of the win
ter stream between its snow
banks. Those pine-mantled peaks
in the rear must be the Lauren-
tians.
Next this Canadian gem is an
other snow scene, but how differ
ent. Mrs. George Catlett Marshall
of Pinehurst, has sent over the
wash painting done for her and
her distinguished husband by
their friend, Mme. Chiang Kai-
Shek. Madame Chiang appears to
be well versed in the Oriental
style. Her finely drawn black-
branched trees , weaving their
scroll across the misty landscape;
the grey tones against the brilliant
white, aU spell “China” and a tal
ented amateur, who would hardly
be termed, in fact, an amateur in
most Western art circles.
On the adjoining wall is a re
markable drawing and a remark
able item to be exhibited in so
yoimg and small Eind just-begin
ning a gallery: this is a small mas
terpiece by the surrealist artist
Salvador Dali. It is exciting to a
degree, with its violence of action
and its intriguing composition.
Proof positive, it is, to any skeptic
that Dali is a marvelous drafts
man. /The generous owner of this
valuable bit is Mrs. C. E. Denny
of Pinehurst.
Swinging on around to the
right, we are faced with the larg
est exhibit: an oil by the English
artist, WiUiam Shayer. It shows a
man, a woman and a big white
horse, with market panniers at his
sides. The woman wears a sort
of witch’s hat, the country cos
tume prevalent in those times in
the Isle of Wight. The man is
garbed as a countryman; over
the figures is the piled clouds of
a British sky. This is realism
again, but in the old-fashioned
sense, softened with mist and pas
tel colors: definitely a picture.
Mrs. J. S. Bertrand is the owner.
Then we come to the Oriental
art, the Chinese, (but some are
guessing Japanese) panel lent by
Mrs. Donald Cooke of Pinehurst.
This item is, as may be expected,
utterly charming; fascinating;
decorative to a degree. Again, as
before, the viewer is moved to ex
claim: “How generous to loan
such a precious thing for aU to
enjoy!”
Mrs. Cooke also lent the Gallery uad
for this show the small painting
by the Polish refugee artist Felix
Topolski. It shows a big dray
with its team of high-stepping
Percherons bowling gaily along
through a British village street.
Good drawing, a spirited picture.
The large painting on the left
waU, loaned by Arthur Spellissy
of Pinehurst, shows a familiar
scene. It is one of the holes of
the Pinehurst golf course. The
white house in the distance looks
cool and inviting between its
pines, and the stretching green
turf an invitation to ev^ry golfer.
This is the work of Erwin S. Bar
rie, some of whose paintings have
been on view, from time to time,
in Pin<=hnrst‘s’ Carolina Hotel.
And there is the piece of sculpl-
ture lent by Mrs. Magruder Dent.
This is a tragic thing: the young
universal search for Truth, to Hu
manity’s search for Light, for
Help. Again, we voice gratitude
to the owners for their generosity
in sharing with the public these
their treasures.
This exhibit will be on view this
week, to give place the next to
the Christmas decorative show ar
ranged by the Southern Pines
Garden Club. —KLB

CGA Honors With
2 Others Sunday
The Carolinas Golf Association
concluded its series of one-day
tournaments for the 1956 season
at Pinehurst Sunday with J. V.
Berry of Greensboro, Richard S.
Tufts of Pinehurst and Bill
Woodard of Southern Pines tak
ing low gross honors in separate
tourneys on the three Pinehurst
Country Club courses.
A field of 254 turned
the day’s play. ^
On the tough No. 2 course, con
sidered the most rugged of the
three layouts. Berry fired a 71 to
beat Ed Justa of Rocky Mount
by three strokes. In No. 1 Tufts
gained a clean-cut victory over
everyone with a low gross of 75.
Playing on No. 3, Woodard
scored a 70 to whip Bud Kivett
of High Point and Thomas Fry
of Southern Pines, who tied for
runner-up with 73.
In the low net division W. A.
Ray of Burlington and R. V. Bare
of Mebane battled to a tie on No.
2, Ray with an 81-11—70 and
Bare with an 80-10-70. Third
place went to T. L. Calhoun of
Camp Lejeune with 76-5—71.
The Class B division on this
course saw J. F. Hinshaw of Bur
lington emerge the victor in low
net play, registering 82-15—67.
George Amick of Mebane was
second with 90-20—70. |
Tying for low net laurels on
No. 1 were John Isenhonr Sr. of
Salisbury with a 79-12—67 and
Clarence Swinney, Mebane,
9—67.
Woman Killed
Shortly After
Court Appearance
Just a few hours after she ap
peared in Moore Recorder’s
Court to face oiiarges of assault,
a 28-year-old mother of seven
children was shot to death at her
home near Biscoe.
Her husband and three other
men are being held pending in
vestigation of the shooting,
which they said was suicide.
Mrs. Pauline Lemmons was
killed with a .25 caliber slug, but
Sheriff Elwood C. Long of Mont
gomery, the investigating officer,
has not found any such weapon
as yet. He has, however, confis
cated a shotgun and a .38 caliber
revolver discovered at the worn-,
an’s home.
Mrs. Lemmons, and her hus
band, 35-year-old Otis Lemmons,
and her brother, Lester Parks, 22,
were charged with beating Hal
G. McKinnon, 64, of West End,
last October 24 with no apparent
reason.' In court Monday Mrs.
Lemmons and Pctrks showed up
and their attorney asked the
State to nol pros the case in view
pf the fact that McKinnon was
not on hand.
Solicitor W. Lamont Brown de
murred, however, and asked that
the case be continued to January
7, a request that Judge J. Vance
Rowe ruled favorably on.
McKinnon, it is reported, is re
covering from the beating he
took at the hands of the three
[Montgomery people but is still
wearing a cast on his arm.
ABC Officer John K. Sharpe
reported the death to Moore offi
cials late Monday afternoon. He
had been in Montgomery County
working on the case and visiting
his wife, who is in the hospital
there.
Sheriff Long said the trouble
with McKinnon apparently was
caused when McKinnon objected
to his son’s associating with
Lemmons because of his record
of conviction for armed robbery
and several other violations, in
cluding illegal possession of
whiskey. Several officers said
that Lemmons was a known
bootlegger.
j The Montgomerny officer also
I said it was not known whether
the McKinnon episode had any
' connection with Mrs. Lemmons’
death. He said it was apparently
the result of a brawl during
which the woman’s brother tried
to run Lemmons away from the
home.
He said that a fight had been
in progress before the shooting
and that a gun had been found in
front of the House. Mrs. Lem
mons’ body was discovered at
the back door.
Agents from the State Bureau
of Investigation are working on
the c£ise, together with officials
of Montgomery County.

Soldier Injured
Trying To Elude
Officers Monday
A Fort Bragg soldier who tried
to outrun Southern Pines police-,
men early Monday morning was
seriously injured when his car|
overturned on Connecticut Ave.
hue Extension.
The driver, identified as Sgt.
Sartar Flood of a field artilery
outfit at Fort Bragg, suffered a
fractured skull, lacerations and
Other injuries. A companion,
whom police named as Sally Lig
gett, 16, of Fayetteville, was only
slightly hurt although the auto
mobile landed on top of her.
Chief C. E. Newton said that
members of his staff had recog
nized Flood’s car and remember
ed hfe was the same person they
cited to court earlier this
month for a traffic violation. He
had never shown up. Chief New
ton said.
When stopped Monday morn
ing, he was instructed to follow
the police car to the station but
instead, when they neared a
downtown comer. Flood raced
his engine and ran a red light,
heading for the post.
The officers gave chase, some
times estimating Flood’s speed at
between 100 and 110 miles per
hour. He overturned on an “S”
tnrn near the resevation line. *
The young girl was thrown out
and the car landed on top of her
when it came to rest.
Flood will be cited to appear
in Recorder’s Court as soon as he
is sufficiently recovered.

In the center panel on the right

interesting items in this exhibit:
the small collection of Byzantine
ikons lent by Mr. and Mrs. Arch
F. Coleman, with Mrs. Alwin Fol- ;
Henry Lee McIntosh, a brother-
in-law of Clyde Council of
Southern Pines, died Tuseday in
a Fayetteville hospital following
a short illness.
Funeral services were conduct
ed this morning at Highland
■Presbyterian Chapel by the Rev.
Robert T. Haynes, Jr., and Dr.
Samuel E. Howie. Burial was in
ley’s contribution to the left be-
yond the door. All these images Lafayette Memorial Park Ceme-
are painted on wood. They are

with a rich patina of paint and County, was a retired railroad

old sainted kings and the Madon- a son, a daughter , and three sis-
nas are touched with glints of red ters.
and gold, jeweled points of light.
There is about these ikons the at
mosphere of ancient religious fer
vor, the depth of worship, of
pleading, of praise. They are a
touching tribute to the artist’s
