advancing the date of mar

formed until April.
1t has just been revealed that the
wedding of Charles Eckhardt, young
Department of Commerce employe,
and Mildred Mcconnell of Murray.
KY, which took place on Christmas
day in the brides home town, was
the result of listening to the Amos n
Andy broadcast on December Is.
When the marriage ceremony OF
Amos m Ruby Taylor was heard
around the Mcconnell living room,
one of the friends of the young couple
said, Now, why don't you two follow
that example and get married today?"
Fascinated by the idea and still
thrilling to the words they had just
perceived, Mildred and Charles rushed
of to the nearest preacher and Miss
Mcconnell became Mrs. Eckhardt
four months before she had planned.
