News of a memorial lo a
young couple who were form-
e'r residents of Southern Pines
—Tom Cunningham, who was
town manager here for three
and a half years prior to Dec
ember, 1956, and. his wife,
Marion — reaches The Pilot
from Herbert G. Cutter, a
former local resident who is
now living at the Elks Nat
ional Home, Bedford, Va. The
Cunninghams were killed in
an airplane crash in South
America, just a little over a
year ago. Mr. Cutter enclosed
the following story from the
Roanoke (Va.) Times of Dec
ember 18, giving details of the
memorial project:
On Dec. 11, 1960, two North
Carolina natives were killed in
a violent air crash near Cor-
rientes, Argentina. They were
Marion and Tom Cunningham.
The couple is being remember
ed today in Roanoke because of
a memorial started by Mrs. Cun
ningham’s first cousin, Mrs. Evan
E. Hendrickson of Roanoke.
Mrs. Hendrickson and her hus
band, in striving to find some
symbol of the Cunninghams “free
spirit and fearless pursuit of life
and knowledge of giving and re
ceiving, and the acceptance of
God’s will,” have begun a plan
for furnishing the Cunningham
Reading Room in the Roanoke
Fine Arts Center.
Selections range from “Posters
of Picasso,” “Primitive Art’ “Am
erican Painting” and “The Art of
Making Mosiacs” to four volumes
of the “Encyclopedia of World
Art.” 'These books, which also
span Chinese art, sculpture, mod
ern pottery and ceramics, will be
used by the staff and students of
the center, as well as the general
public.
The books will be part of the
center’s proposed reading room
which will bear a brass plaque
with the inscription “Cunningham
Room—Established in Loving
Memory of Marion and Thomas
■1925-1960—By Family.” Besides
Mr. and Mrs. Hendickson, other
members of the family will also
contribute to the center’s library.
Marion and Tom Cunningham
both received degrees from North
Carolina colleges. Marion grad
uated with a degree in fine arts
from Woman’s College of the
University of North Carolina. An
accomplished artist, her works
will be shown at a later date in
the center.
Her husband received his de
gree in business administration
rrom the University of North
Carolina and continued graduate
studies after the couple’s mar
riage, at Syracuse University,
New York.
Both Marion and Tom were
‘‘born with a nature to keep
moving and, reaching for new
horizons.” They lived in Martins
ville where he was assistant city
manager in Richmond where he
served as assistant budget direc
tor and then in Southern Pines,
N. C. Here Tom accepted the job
as the first city manager ^d
set about the task of modernizing
the village form of government,
and streamlining the tax system.
Then came another opportun
ity, and the Cunninghams, with
their two children, left for Bolivia.
Here Cunningham taught at the
University of San Andres at La
Paz, and Marion was able to pur
sue her career as a painter with
“little domestic restraint and
more freedom of expression.
During their two years, the family i again—this time to Paraguay
managed to tour most of South where Tom served as academic
America and visit art museums. public administration advisor to

Felton Capel With Surprise Program
Felton J. Capel, a Southern
Pines town councilman and one
of the most successful Negro busi
nessmen in the State recently re
ceived a big surprise arid heart
warming honor.
Invited to Clinton to address
the PTA of Sampson County
High School, he had hardly start
ed his speech before an audience
of some 200 in the darkened audi
torium than he was interrupted.
The interrupter was O. A. Du
pree, school principal and also a
part-time manager (salesman) in
the Southern Pines division,
headed by Capel, of Century Met-
alcraft.
Dupree, who hadi just given
Capel a glowing introduction,
told him he needn’t make his
speech after all. The program
turned out to be something en
tirely different—a full-scale
“This Is Your Life” with Capel
as subject. The audience was
composed not of PTA members
but other managers from all over
the State, with their families.
Presented in the manner of the
well-known Ralph Edwards pro
gram were Capel’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Acie Capel of Ellerbe;
his wife Jean; his high school
principal, numerous friends of his
childhood and boyhood. Army
buddies and men who had worked
with him as he got his start and
then rose high in his company.
Telegrams from the company
heads in Cleveland and elsewhere
were read.
In conclusion, Capel was pre-
.sented with a bronze plaque sal-
uating him for “excellence in
management and service;” and
his managers, as a special and
personal tribute, handed in a
sheaf of orders for which they
had worked with extra diligence
to please him.
Mrs. Capel, whom he thought
he had left safely at home, had
been in on the secret and gone in
another car, along with a delega
tion from West Southern Pines.
These included T. R. Goins, Sgt.
and Mrs. H. L. Wooten, Mrs.
Chester Goins, Mrs. Nancy Lewis,
Mr. and Mrs.-Arnix France, Mrs.
Iris Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie
Rountree and daughters, Joe
Waddell, the Rev. G. B. Gilchrist
and, from Sanford, Mr. and Mrs.
Isaiah Reeves.
situation grew uneasy, and the
family began to plan for a re
turn to the United States.
Then, returning from a visit
to Rio de Janerio, the couple
was killed, and their children re
turned to live in the United
States.
In dedicating her contribution
to the center, Mrs. Hendrickson
states: “I cannot think of a more
fitting tribute to these two peo-
oie than to try to help build a
library which would combine
their interest of art and learning.
Also, I cannot think of a place
that is better qualified to reap
the rewards of such an effon
than the Roanoke Fine Arts Cen
ter.”
She concludes, “Such a contri
bution to one of the larger muse
ums in North Carolina or Virginia
would not achieve the same re
sults, or be in character with the
way of life the Cunninghams
shared.”
Prune with a purpose rather
than butcher with a vengeance.
Muscadine, (“Scuppernong”)
grapes pruned now will not bleed
as badly as if pruned later in the
winter or early spring. Old peach
and apple trees may be pruned
rather heavily if they have been
neglected.
Wlien veterans write their VA
Regional Office for information,
they should include their lull
name, complete addresss. birth-
date and claim number (C Num
ber), if they have one. This will
identify the veteran and assist the
VA in locating promptly papers
and recordssometimes needed in
supplying answers to queries.
