THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1955 THE PILOT—Soulhern Pines, North Carolina PAGE SEVENTEEN ’Possum In Hoiise Poses Mystery While this baby ’possum was peering anxiously through the window screen as if he wondered how in the world he was going to get out, his involuntary hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson of Southern Pines, were wonder ing how in the world he got in. Mrs. Johnson, preparing her husband’s breakfast, saw the little animal climbing up the screen in her dining room. She screamed, “Oh, Charhe, a rat!” Her husband slammed the window down, then they' saw the varmint trapped be tween glass and screen, was a ’possum, no more than seven inches long from nose to tail. Mrs. W. M. Edwards, in whose home the Johnsons have an apartment, called Jim Wilson, Moore County - Boy Scoiit executive, and pretty soon some Boy Scouts came IlI and got the ’possum, for adop tion by their troop.

A native of Wilmington, Mr. Cooper is associated with The Glitter Box store here as jeweler and watch repairman. He fcrmler- ly worked at the Glitter Box Aberdeen store and lived in that comrhunity. With Mr. Cooper, art is a spare time hobby developed from train ing received in school . To obtain a picture, he works either entirely from memory or from a series of sketches made at the scene. From these comes the formal painting. When he is painting, he says, he establishes his horizon and works from the skyline forward. Some paintings, not depicting an exact location, are done entirely from miscellaneous sketches. He prefers “everyday life” and marine views for subject matter. A veteran of Army service, Mr., Cooper has exhibited in Wilming ton. When he is not painting, he spends fiis spare time sailing oq a newly acquired sailboat which is docked at Wilmigton. The show at the library will last at least two weeks, according to Miss Alice Baxter, chairman of the gallery’s exhibition com mittee. Charlotte SS Office Moving Lone T.

Goins told officers that a Ne gro girl had sought refuge in his house from Cole, who, she said, had beaten her and threatened to kill her. Later, according to Goins’ rep'ort. Cole came to the house and broke in, striking at Goins with a hoe so hard that it broke in three pieces when the blow missed its target. While Cole was breaking in, Goins told officers, he had al lowed the girl to slip out the rear of the house. Cole was arrested by Sheriff C. J. McDonald, Deputy Sheriff A. W.

In describing the incident this week, CoUins said that it was later discovered that the rules had been incorrectly applie'd when the players undertook to wait five minutes to see what Beck’s ball would do. The ball did not fall into the cup for four and a half minutes, so even by this in correct ruling, the Southern Pines play.er almost kept the match tied up. While the rule is complicated, Collins said that the gist of it is that a player must wait “momen tarily” to see if a ball on the lip cf the cup will drop. He was not aware of this at the time in Char lotte, he stated. CoUins had carded decisive vic tories throughout the tournament, playing in the championship flight, until he ran into Beck Thursday afternoon.
