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. 4-H Leaders Take Tractor Training - At State College By C.
