Gertrude Greedy was married this
afternoon. Her engagement to Lieu
tenant Commander James c. Kress Of
Lockhaven, Pa, at present stationed
at Newport, was announced two or
three months ago, and II was stated

service as soon as he realized that
that was the place for all outstanding
youngsters. and got out as soon as the
shindy was over, having made a fine
record while in uniform. He is now
devoting himself to the law.
