Local Man Completes
Correspondence Course
Russell A. Peters, 305 North
May Street, has been cited by
Vice Admiral Rufus E. Rose, USN,
commandant of the Industrial
College of the Armed Forces, for
having successfully completed the
college’s correspondence course.
Mr. Peters is a management
analyst with the Hq. XVIII Air
borne Corps at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina.
Operating under the direction
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the
Industrial College devotes itself
to the study of the economic and
industrial aspects of national se
curity under all conditions and
in the context of both national
and world affairs.
The one-year correspondence
course is open to qualified civ
ilians in business, industry, and
the several professions as well as
to officers of all military com
ponents. Texts and instructional
materials are provided at no cost
to the student. Interested persons
may address their applications to
the Commandant, ICAF, Wash
ington 25, D. C.
The lifetime quota of water
usage for the average person in
the'U. S. is 3,500,000 gallons.
Although many persons in the
Sandhills probably saw the spec
tacular glow in the sky, shortly
after dark Monday, that was caus
ed by a Titan I missile fired from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., Mrs. Rich
ard White of Little River Farm,
on the Southern Pines-Carthags
road, was the only one to tell
The Pilot about it.
Rising to a height of 600 miles
and heading 5,000 miles down the
Atlantic test range, toward Afri
ca, the missile emitted large
amounts of vapor that caught the
light of the sun, although it was
nearly dark on earth, between 6
and 6:30 p. m., in the Florida to
North Carolina area in which the
display was visible.
Mrs. White even drew for The
Pilot a picture of what she saw
in the sky—a broad fish-shaped
formation, as many observers
elsewhere described it, with s
bright, white light where the
mouth of the fish would be, a
brightly lit area where the head
and gills of the fish would be, a
darker area toward the tail and
the tail fins of a fish would be.
Mrs. White, who said what she
saw “looked as big as a blimp,’’
was out at her clothes line when
she looked up and saw the light.
She and her two young sons, nav-
ing no idea what it was, prudent
ly went indoors and observed it
further through a window. The
fish-shaped cloud of light seemed
to be coming toward t’nem, she
said.
“I visualized the possibility of
little green men climbing down
their ladder,” she told The PPot.
The bright light then went out
and the fish “spread out like gas
vapors,” Mrs. White said. 'The
whole performance took about 10
minutes.

Suspended Terms,
Fines Meted Out
In Bigamy Case
A young man and woman each
pleaded guilty to bigamy Tuesday
in Moore County Superior Court
and were placed by Judge John
D. McConnell on five years’ pro
bation, with one of the conditions
being that they cease to associate
with each other.
According to the arresting ot-
ficer. Deputy Sheriff J. A. Law
rence, Mrs. Josephine C. Hinson
Cox of West End and Carl Eugene
Sessoms of Manly were separated
from their respective mates but
not divorced when, last Septem
ber, they went to Chesterfield, S.
C., and went through a marriage
ceremony. Subsequently they liv
ed together at Mrs. Cox’s home at
West End, it was testified.
They were arrested on warrants
sworn out by their legal mates,
both of whom took the stand to
testify to the facts of their mar
riages. These were Bill G. Cox
of West End and Mrs. Jane Far
rell Sessoms, now living at Aoer-
deen. Both couples have three
children.
Cox said he and his wife had
been divorced and later re-mar
ried, then separated again. Ses
soms and his wife had been apart
only a few weeks when the biga
mous marriage took place.
They received prison sentences
of two to three years, suspended
for five years on probationary
terms, not to be seen with each
other, and Mrs. Cox not to be
seen with any other man, until
they obtained divorces or their
marital status was changed so
as to satisfy the probation officer.
Sessoms was ordered to support
his family, and to Mrs. Cox Judge
McConnell gave counsel, “Stay
home and look after your chil
dren.” Each was additionally
fined $100 and ordered to pay
costs.
