Pridgen, center, was digging holes in which to plant roses in her front yard recently when suddenly her arm went through an opening in the ground. Curious, she started to ddg the hole wider and uncovered a well of fresh water which had been covered by a cement top. The Pridgen’s moved into the residence at 402 N. Fourth street, seven years ago and until the covering gave way yesterday they did not know the well existed. The home is 65 years old, and according to nearby residents, the well was covered over about 50 years ago. Mrs. W. K. King, same address, is looking over Mrs. Pridgen’s shoulder as she shows the well to her daughter. What they would like to know—how old is the well? i : ' ' * Violinist Trained Here Flies To Aid Stokowski A young woman whose career as a violinist began here in Wilmington several years ago was one of 21 string players personally requested by Leo pold Stokowski to fly to Hava na, Cuba, to augment an orchestra for his performance of the Beethoven’s Ninth Sym phony, according to informa tion received yesterday by relatives of the young artist. News of the honor accorded the former Wilmington musi cian—Miss Jeanne Mitchell— was forwarded to her uncle, George L. Mitchell, 17 Colonial drive, Forest Hills. Miss- Mitchell, who is a vio linist with Stokowski's orches tra in New York City, is a daughter of Mr. anti Mrs. Joe S. Mitchell, native Wilming tonians, who moved to New York some years ago. Recipient of a scholarship at Barnard college in New York, the young woman was graduat ed from there with honors. Her career as a violinist was started in Wilmington and her mother, also a talented violin ist, played in local churches and for other organizations be fore moving to New York. The Havana performance took place on Valentine’s Day, after a mix-up between Stokow ski and Havana Philharmonic officials, w'hich resulted in no Philharmonic musicians being allowed to play for the famed conductor, according to the Feb. 18 issue of Time maga zine. By looking through Havana military bands, Stokowski found 55 men to blow horns, and a Cuban chorus of 150. The 21 string players and a tenor then were flown from New York by chartered plane. The musicians arrived on Friday morning, in time for their first rehearsal with Dr. Stokowski and were expected to return by plane to New York several days later.
