Weeks--King Wedding Took Place
Saturday Evening.

Saturday evening, August 18th, at
eight o'clock, in the home of the bride,
Miss Edith Alice, youngest daughter of
George NJ and the late Melissa Blanch-
ard King, was married to Alton Alonzo
Weeks in the presence Of the immmedi-
ate relatives of both parties. The eere.
mony was performed by Rev. Arthur
W Hewitt, the double ring service be-
ing used, and the ring bearer, little
Miss wis Dayton, carrying the rings
enclosed in two half.opened rosebuds.
Mrs. Laura King Cate played the
bridal march from Lohengrin. The
bride was gowned in the wedding dress
of her mother, beautiful chiffon over
plum colored satin. The bridesmaid
was Miss Hazel A. Weeks, sister of tina
groom. The latter was attended by
his brother, Herbert A. Weeks. The
bride carried bouquet of whate car
nations; the bridesmaid one of pink
asters. The brides gift to the brides.
maid was a gold brooch, and the
eroom's gift to the best man was set
of gold cuff links. There were many
tasteful and beautiful wedding gifts.
The bridal arch was covered with
green and yellow paper to match the
foliage and blossoms of the many oxide
daisies and ferns also used for decora-
tions. From its center hung four
leafed clover covered with ferns and
yellow daisies. Under this clover de-
sign all the daughters of the King
family have stood to be married After
the service, Mrs. Herbert Cate and
Miss Mary Corrigan served ice cream
and cake, while the brides cake was
nut and served to her guests by the
bride. Mr.. and Mrs. Weeks will make
heir home in Plainfeld among their |
many friends and well wishers. No
ards were issued.

CURRENT COMMENT
Dale's Experience.

The Republican voters in the second
district will vote at the primaries on
September ID, for Congressman, and
at present there are four candidates in
the running, Congressman Porter H.
Dale of Island Pond, John W. Gordon
OF Barre, e. w. Gibson of Brattleboro
and Raymond Trainor of White River
| Junction.
Congressman Dale has been for six
years the representative of the citizens
OF the second district and in this time
thoroughly familiarized himself with
the details of public life. This, in it.
self, is an important asset to any can
ddate, and Colonel Dale is the only
one of the four that has this valuable
experience. More than that, he has
served upon important committees and
secured an intimate acquaintance
with the leaders of both parties. If he
wants anything done he has been in
service long enough to know how to do
it without wasting time seeking infor-
nation from department clerks and bu
reau secretaries. And those that have
followed Congressman Dale do not
need to be told that when he wants
anything he generally gets it. To
change at this time from trained
public servant to novice would be,
in our judgment, mistake. Vermont
is a small state and gets an influence in
Congress by keeping good men in office. |
This is true of both our distinguished |
senators, and has been true in large |
measure in the House Congressman |
Dale has been handicapped by serving
with the minority party in the House,
but the Republicans now have the as
cendancy and will undoubtedly keep
their place in the fall elections. This |
means that Colonel Dale will have |
greater influence and power in the
House than ever before while new
man, no matter how desirious he might |
be of making record, would be seri-
ously handicapped from the start. II
elected to the House next November,
Colonel Dale will return at the height
Of his usefulness and have more infiu,
ence that ever before.
Colonel Dale has advertised himself
SO little that many do not know how
he has represented his con
