THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1957 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page FIVE ijQ Littlefield House Is Bought By Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cooper “We’re going to call it'back just as regularly as I wrote ‘Littlefield’. We feel it is just thej them. We kept right on schedule. ‘ I finally got exasperated and right name for this charming place and we want to keep Mrs. Littlefield’s name, in apprecia tion for what she did to make this house, our first real home so lovely.” The speaker was Mrs. Frank Cooper who, with her husband,' has bought the house built by!the typewriter. .11 YOUNG DEMOCRATS in Southern Pines re-elected almost the entire slate of 1956-57 officers at a meeting last Wednesday night.

(Pilot photo)) FIRST EXHIBITOR N'OT GIVEN Art Gallery Opens Next Week; Mrs. Folley Announces Program For Year Who will be the first exhibitor of the year for the Southern Pines Art Gallery Committee? The question was still unanswered this morning as the committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Alwin Folley, announced plans for the year, which does include a number of other outstanding ar tists. Other artists who will have shows during the year, according to Mrs. Folley, are Daniel Put nam, of Silvermine, Conn., who has studied abroad with noted artists since before the first World War; Zeno Spence, por traitist of Goldsboro, who has built a strong reputation throughout the state; Manuel Ayaso, who is in the Army at Fort Bragg; and Alice U. Smith, cl Charleston. Putnami is being sponsored by his niece, Margaret Sanger of Greensboro. Ayaso, a native of Spain, recently became a United States Citizen, and Miss Smith is primarily known for her can vases on southern life. Mrs. Folley said she and the gallery committee hoped to have an educational exhibit of the classics from either the Museum of Modem Art, the Mint Museum in Charlotte, or the North Caro lina Art Museum at Raleigh. All the exhibits will be hung in the gallery at the library, a connecting room between the J.ames Boyd Room and the libra ry proper. In starting the eighth season, Mrs. Folley said she was mindful of the steady growth of the gal lery and the increased interest manifested yearly by area citi zens. She recalled that several exhibits have come from such distances as New York and Chi cago and that many amateur and professional artists in this area had cooperated with showings of their work. '■‘We have stepped out of the infant stage and into an age of survival,” she said, referring to the solid footing the gallery now enjoys. A letter, which was mailed this summer to some 82 art patrons in the area, has brought a good response for funds, she said, but much was still needed. Previous ly, she noted, expenses of the exhibits, which runs about $75 to $100 per season, had been paid from private funds. This year the art committee decided to make its appeal to a wider group, a move that has apparently been received enthusiastically. Sen. Sam Ervin To Speak At Motor Carriers Meeting The North Carolina Motor Carriers Associaiion will hold its i 28rh anniversary convention at Pinehurst Sunday through Wed nesday, September 29-October 2. Delegates from most of the trucking concerps in the state will be present, according to Jeft B. Wilson, director of infor mation and safety of the associa tion. A number of events have been planned, ipcluding a golf tournament and social activities for the ladies. Sen. Sam Ervin is principal speaker; Edwin Gill, state treas urer, win also be on the program. INS and OUTS Paul Fitanides, who operates a shoe shop in Ogunquit, Maine during the summers, returned to Southern Pines Wednesday night to manage his local shop. Clyde G.

Mr. and Mrs. Hawley Rawlin- son and daughters, Nancy and Mary Agnes and Susan Ewing are planning to attend the Clem- son-CaroIina game at Chapel Hill Saturday. iFred B. Howland, Retired ,Oil Firm Executive, Dies Private Funeral Is Held; Burial To Be At Titusville, Pa. A private funeral service was held Wednesday for Fred B. How land who died Sunday at his home, 125 Highland Road, after a long illness. Dr. C. K. Ligon, pastor of Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church, conducted the service at the home. Burial will be at Ti' tusville. Pa., Mr. Howland’s na tive community. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Gertrude L. How land, and a granddaughter. Mr. and Mrs. Howland built their house in Southern Pines about 30 years ago, returning to their home in Titusville each summer. During his illness of the past two years, Mr. Howland had remained in Southern Pines. For over 50 years, Mr. Howland was manager of the Kewanee Oil Company which had interests and offices in several states. He was active in the operation of the company, until recent years, spending winter vacations in the Sandhills. A loyal alumnus of Princeton University, he was treasurer of his class. An enthusiastic Rota- rian for many years, he attended meetings of the Southern Pines Rotary Club when he was here and as long as his health permit ted. He enjoyed golf and played until recent years. Mr. Howland was the son of a pioneer oil producer at Titusville, Pa., and as a young man took over, developed and expanded in to a wide operation the business founded by his father. He was a prominent citizen of Titusville and maintained a home there for many years. Mrs. L. H. Littlefield out on the' publishers yet,” far end of Indiana Avenue. The ^ I’m hoping.” Coopers have purchased the house and the four acres around it. with the sale being handled jointly by E. C. Stevens Real Es tate Company and Resort Realty and Development Company. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper are North Carolinians. He came from Cher okee County, and his wife from Durham, though part of her life was spent in Albuquerque, N. M. It seems probable that he knows the state as well as any Tarheel, for Mr. Cooper is by trade an ap praiser of rural property for tax equalization purposes. He has worked over county after county, including parts of Moore. The Fort Benning tract in Georgia v/as one of his jobs in which, again, his employer was the fed eral government. He has recently completed a survey of the values in Catawba County and is now working in Halifax and Bladen. Expecting to be in this general area for as much as two or three years, but no more, the Coopers decided to lease a dwelling-place for that period, according to their usual system. “■We’ve lived in 19 houses,” said Mrs. Cooper, ‘^and we deci ded this would be our last. We thought we’d stay here for a few years, then my husband planned to retire and move out to Tucson or somewhere out that way to live.” She smiled. “We changed our minds when we saw Southern Pines and this house.” Mrs. Cooper came in June to look for a place to rent in the town which her husband “had al ways liked so much.” She saw the Littlefield house, got her husband to run down and look at it and it seems to have been love at first sight for both of them. With her husband away a good deal, appraising his counties, Mrs. Cooper makes strenuous use of her time. Right now she’s working on the house, overseeing a simple but pretty complete re decorating job. Once that’s fin ished and she can move in, she expects to get down to brass tacks. And her chief tack is: writ ing. She started back in 1949 when she happened to read a pamphlet entitled: “How To Write.' “It told you to start off doing ,‘short shorts,’ which I have since learned are the hardest things to •write you could possibly choose. I wrote one a day: •wrote one every afternoon and mailed it the next morning. And they came wrote a regular-size story; sent it to a ‘pulp’ magazine, and sold it.” From then on, the “pulps” have taken her short stories, but she has recently turned towards longer fiction and has three fin ished books—two novels and a mystery, and one more still on'effect. “No luck with! The Coopers do Besides writing, Mrs. Cooper likes to paint and she is an ex pert maker of marionettes. Only one of these is at present in resi dence at “Littlefield.” This is a .model of a Navajo Indiah wom an, a type familiar to the^ maker from that period of her life spent in New Mexico. The papier mache face has beauty and dig nity, the reserved look of the In dian, and the hands, of wood,' settled and will move in “just as soon as the floors are dry enough,” the lady of the house says. The tract upon which “Little field” stands belonged originally to the Grover Brothers- holdings and was sold by them to Creamer and 'Turner, who planted it to peaches.
