MISS CROWELL BECOMES BRIDE
 OF 6. R. PARKER
Wedding Ceremony Per formed Out of Doors
 Bridal Luncheon Served

A beautiful and unusual wedding for Alaska took place outdoors at the residence of MT. and Mrs. A. Lincoln Parker, at Gustavus, Alas ka, on June 10, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when Miss Nellie Rebec- ca Crowell, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Lewis Goodwin Crowell, of Clovis, Cal, became the bride of MT. Glenn Ralph Benjamin Parker, of Gusta- vus.
 The front porch and steps were covered with carpet and rug. Beauti- fully arranged foliage with white, pink and blue wild flowers and ferns in front, and at each corner of the porch, formed an arch over the im- provised altar White ribbon stream CTS formed aisles leading from the porch to each side of the house. Relatives and friends of the. couple were seated in a semi-circle on the lawn in front of the house. The Misses Alberta Parker and Anna Laurie White, nieces of the groom, served as ushers for the occasion. The Rev Charles c. Personeus, of Juneau, read the marriage VOWS and officiated at the service.
 Preceding the wedding ceremony "The Bells of St. Mary's" was played on organ and violin, after which MT. Leslie F Parker sang "Oh, Promise Me-" and T Love You Truly" ac- companied on the organ by Mrs. May White, the sister of the groom
 To the strains of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin," MT. Glenn Parker and his brother, MT Leslie Parker, his best man, moved toward the porch from one side of the house, Miss Genevieve White, the bridesmaid, in a gown af aqua silk moire taffeta, and carrying a bou- quet of pink carnations, went from the other side of the house. Then came the bride, dressed in a rich ivory white satin, made on fitted lines, with soft shirring in front, and wearing white silk net veil, with a lovely bridal wreath having orange blossoms on each side, and carrying a bridal bouquet of pink sweetheart roses and rosebuds. The ceremony took place under a white bell, where the bride and groom knelt on white satin pillow.
 Following the wedding ceremony, bridal luncheon was served on the lawn under the trees, buffet style. The bridal table, with its lace cover, was centered with the brides tall white wedding cake, topped with a small bride and groom stand ing under a wedding arch with tiny wax bell and lilies of the valley over their heads. The groorns cake was covered with tiny pink rosebuds.
 About o'clock the bridal couple was taken in a much decorated car to the dock, where they boarded the L and G, and went for 8 honey moon cruise amid the beauties of the Alaska waters and islands and inlets around Glacier Bay.
 The bride came to Alaska to do home missionary work last summer, and assisted in the Young People s Bible Conference at Tee Harbor last year She has been conducting Sun day School service and doing mis- sionary work at Gustavus during the past winter.
 MT. and Mrs. Parker will return to Gustavus to the new home that MT. Parker has just recently con- pleted, and will be at home to their friends the last of this month. They will continue with the Sunday School services at Gustavus and Christian work there.

MONTREAL, June 13.-When a rod-rider wants to pay his fare, that's news. It was pleasant news to Canadian National Railways when they received request to name their price for a ride stolen on a freight train to the coast from a small Saskatchewan town last spring. Neither was the rail- way ungrateful. In their reply the railway expressed appreciation. The conscientious patron evidently se- cured work in the lumber industry Jn Vancouver Island after his trip.

A TRAFFIC PROBLEM

boys and girls. Being so
young the law doesn't act as
strictly with them as with
automobile drivers. Police
are not apt to arrest a young
ster for riding through a red
light or making a left turn
without a signal. This may
sound like an unfair COM
plant to young readers, but
why not consider this type
of traffic the same as you do
the motor car? Especially
when bicycles cause many
accidents and pften injure
pedestrians. There is always
a certain danger to the
cycist, as well. Since Judges
are reluctant to impose fines
on these young riders, some
one has made the suggestion
that the child's father be
brought into court and given
a warning with regard to the
hazards of this new traffic
problem.

There are few of US who
drive along the roads and
highways that do not give a
wide berth to the bicycle
rider. AS we ride back of
him, or try to pass him, as
he pedals along, we are likely
TO remark, You never know
what they are going to do.
This statement is true and
we are wise to be unusually
careful as we encounter the
bicycler. They dart in and
out, going here and there,
with scarcely a wave or sign
as to their traffic intentions.
1t is with good cause that
we consider them a new road
problem. Folks here are not
the only ones affected, for
the National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety
is studying the situation
seriously. There are more
riders IN America than ever
before, and most of them are

SIGN OF THE TIMES

When we read of the chill
dren who were striking" in
the schools and picketing
the school-houses, we recalled
how we used to think of
walking out too-and didn't,
because in our day they
didn't call an act like this
striking, it was deemed
plain cussedness. Today with
the fever of striking and
picketing dying down some
what, to everyone's satisfac-
ton, we learn there are still
some folks who figure it is a
good way to get what they
want. For instance, the item
about the two baseballs that
found their way into a mans
garden. He refused to re-
turn them to the boys who
lost them and they then
picketed his house with this
sign, This man is unfair to

has been many a child who
has seemed incapable of
learning, but often this same
dull youngster can be made
alert mentally by seeing that
he gets two or three glasses
Of fresh milk every day. 1t
is far easier to govern this
on q farm and in rural dis
trictS where folks are more
apt to be miIk-conscious.
Some city schools, at a small
cost to each pupil, serve milk
and graham crackers during
the regular school session.
This is in kindergarten and
the early grades. Such pro-
cedure may seem foolish and
unnecessary 10 some citizens,
but consider the various ma
tons who serve extra meals

of their workers. They say

MORE MILK

With modern education ad-
vanced to the stage where
greater emphasis is laid on
mental efficiency, with nu-
merous tests to classify the
student into his or her in
telligence category, we are
apt TO lose sight of the fact
that the body Is as necessary
m the operation of learning,
as the mind. Mayor La
Guardia of New York, said
to a meeting of school teach
ers in his city, Before you

DISTRICT EXCEEDS
NATIONS TREND
Figures Show an Upward
Swing in Building of
$4,000, 900.

Washington exceeded the Nations
average building trend in May with
an upswing Of more than $4,000. 900
over the April contracts. That was
the keynote of the monthly summary
completed yesterday by H. A. Johns,
Washington manager of the Dodge
reports division of F. w. Dodge Corp
There is strong encouragement in
the record Of contracts awarded here
in May" Mr.. Johns points out. "Pri-
waite and public work moved far over
the April levels. Residential activity
continued in the upward trend which
has been evident since January"
All of the May building and con-
struction contracts awarded in the
Washington area totaled $500, 900.
That includes an 86 per cent gain
over the April awards, $3,518.000. Mr..
Johns emphasizes that these local
figures are based on actual contract
awards, not permit grants" An
average May gain of 20 per cent over
April was recorded for the building
and construction activities of the 81
Eastern States
Private work accounted for S.
546.000 of the Washington area total.
The May figures were 8S per cent over
those of April, $2,95l 900. An average
Evening star., 1938-07-02

gain OF IA per cent was found in the
Eastern States.
The May contracts to be financed
from public funds totaled $685., 900, q
gain Of "a per cent from the April level
OF $567, 900. These did not follow the
trend of the 81 Eastern States, where
IS per cent rise was established in
May.
Residential contracts awarded In
May moved to the 81. .463, 900 level in q
SO per cent rise from the April con-
tracts, $2.539, 900 The gain here was
well ahead Of the Eastern States
average rise Of II per cent in resi-
Dental work.
Non-residential contracts went to
the 2,56l 900 mark from April's $42l,-
900. This is not in line with the aver
age drop of per cent in non -residen-
tial contract valuations throughout
the Eastern States.
The Washington metropolitan area
included in the Dodge summary is
made up Of the District, Arlington and
Fairfax Counties, Virginia; Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Counties,
Maryland.
Finally, MIR. Johns reports on local
engineering construction projects to
be financed from public funds and by
the utilities. These totaled $506 900 in
May, drop from the April awards;
$3.50, 200.
