SURPRISE MARRIAGE
OF SCHOOL ma AM

February is the month when hearts
are trumps. and what is more appro-
pirate to the season than this, and so
apparently. with this thought in view.
Miss Beulah A. Baker, charming
young teacher in the Delta schools,
and Mr.. Roswell Allen, a well known
Rogers mesa rancher. hied themselves
to Grand Junction Friday evening
after school and were united in the
bonds of holy matrimony.
The cat jumped out of the bag Sun
day at noon when the Grand Junction
papers announced the matter and the
happy couple are being showered with
congratulations and best wishes of
their legion of friends.
Miss Baker Is the daughter o.
Mrs. Fred NJ. Cline. of Hotchkiss. and
the groom a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry Allen. also of Hotchkiss. who are
engaged in the sheep business.
The union is the elimination of
nine-years' acquaintance beginning
when the two families became neigh
bors. and which ripened into friend
ship and eventually into love.
The bride has been an efficient
member OF the faculty during the past
year and Is loved by all her pupils.
She will complete her duties II the
year, and while her leaving the
schools will be regretted. her friends
are glad to know that she and her
good husband will continue residents

Dear Father and Mother
Just few lines to tell you that
am all right. l received your
Thanksgiving box some time ago. Ey-
erything in it seemed to be just what
l needed. You do not know what
letters and boxes from home folks
mean to us.
The candy was delicious. Candy of
good grade is very scarce and very
dear, because of the scarcity of sugar,
in the village near here.
There is no sugar at all, as when
the allowance is used up the people
do without. However, the army Is
better off
We receive the same rations as in
the United States. Our unit had a
very nice Christmas-real American
turkey with all the fixings About
$3.50 was contributed by the squadron
to help furnish a little Christmas
cheer to the children in the village.
Most of them are refugees and many
are orphans and very poor. The star
event was a soldier dressed as Santa
Claus, who came in an aeroplane,
landing in front of the hanger, then
the doors were opened and the kiddies
saw the tree loaded with presents and
they certainly did enjoy it.
I have just received your letter
and the Christmas box with Mrs. Nut
ter's cake. do certainly appreciate it
and l have already sent her note
thanking her for it.
