number OF these celebrations that has
called forth a protest from the hard
working Clergy OF Aylosbury. Their
grievance q embodied In the following
passage from the local parish maya

sons rebel against very much indeed.
and that IL the growing practice Of
Sunday weddings. A. " We had not

couples who ought. IN most cases. TO b.

Why must you be married on sun

pectant bridegroom. What utter nom

20 be married. Anyhow. what We want
