f Especial to The Times.) Stratford, June 22-A very attrac- tive June wedding took place yester- day afternoon at 1 o'clock when the Rev. Andrew F. Chamberlain, pastor of the Stratford Methodist Episcopal , church, united in marriage Miss Helen Jane Thompson, daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. Edwin Thompson, 2906 North Main street, and Harold Raymond Johnson, son of MT. and Mrs. Charles Johnson of Park street, at the brides home. Miss Thomp-I | son, who made a most charming June bride, wore a gown of white l crepe de chene and was attended by her sister, Miss Hazel Mildred i | Thompson, who wore a gown of Nile i green satin. The ribbon girls, who l were nieces of the groom, were Doris l and Helen Blamey. Dorothy John 1 son, niece of the groom, was the l l flower girl. Clifford Johnson, |
 brother of the groom, was the best l man. The living room of the | l Thompson home where the nuptia1 l | knot was tied, was elaborately decor | l ated with green and white and the l dining room where the wedding l breakfast was served, presented l 1 handsome picture with it's pink dec- l l
 which will be spent touring through ! the Berkshires, MT. and Mrs. John l { son will make their home in Strat- I l ford where the groom has furnished | a home for his bride. | After many years of faithful ser l vice as a member of the Stratford | Library Board, William H. Fryer was elected at meeting of the directors
 of the board held on Monday evening as life member. The promotion,
 which was to fill a vacancy of long
 standing, was a we'll merited one, as MT. Fryer has done much and was
 always ready to do more for the in- terest of the Library association. The public hearings of the sewer commissioners which are being held are meetings of much interest to the
 taxpayers of the town who swarm to
 the commissioners office, which is
 by far too small to accommodate all who desire admission. The hearing of Monday evening was, perhaps, the largest attended and most exciting one yet held by the commissioners, as more than 100 of the residents were | present, many of whom expressed
 themselves very freely in protesting the high cost of laying the sewers through their streets.
