Couple Wed Sunday
At Ebenezer Church

The Ebenezer Mennonite church
was the scene of an impressive we'd
ding Sunday afternoon when Miss
Magdalene Bixel, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. S. S. Bixel of Bluffton, be-
came the bride OF the Rev. Erwin
Albrecht of Chicago, son of Mrs. Ida
Albrecht of Kingman, Kansas.
Only members of the immediate
families were present for the double
ring ceremony which was performed
at two o'clock by the Rev. Arnold
c. Schultz, pastor of the bride, be-
fore the chancel adorned with bask-
cts of white gladiol, summer flowers
and palms.
Preceding the ceremony Miss Kath-
ryn Biery of Van Vert played on
her vibra celeste "Liebestraum" by
List, "My Heart at Thy Sweet
Voice., by Perome Damonte and
"God Make Thee Mine" by Haydn
Wood. Miss Luella Albrecht of
Kingman, sister of the groom, sang
Because" by Guy d'Hardelot follow
ing the nuptial music and "We Prom
ise Thee" Immediately following the
last prayer while the couple re-
mained at the altar Mrs. Norris
Niswander, sister of the bride, ac-
companied at the piano and also
played the traditional wedding
marches.
The bride was escorted by her
father who gave her in marriage.
She was attired in a poudre mist
blue silk lace frock over taffeta with
sweetheart style neckline and pearl
clips and tiara with seed pearls on
white. She wore single strand of
pearls and carried white Bible
showered with snow white rosebuds
and amazia tied with white maline
streamers, gifts of the groom. Miss
Biery softly played "Sweet viii of
God" during the ceremony.
An informal reception held for
$50 guests followed the service hon.
oring the couple at the home of the
bride. Bouquets of summer flowers
decorated the home. An arrange
ment of vocal, piano, and vibra ce-
leste music was held throughout the
afternoon. Pink and white graced
the dining table as well as those
serving. The Mesdames Mary Oman
of Findlay and Geraldine Bucher of
Bluffton, and the Misses Genvieve
Beagle of Mt. Cory, Susanna Luigi
bihl of Pandora, Vera Amstutz, Ma
rie and Verena Winkler, and Ellene
Bixel of Bluffton assisted in serving.
Following a short wedding trip to
Niagara Falls and points of interest
enroute the couple will be at home
in the parsonage at 1900 W. 72nd
Place, Chicago, Ill. The bride chose
dress in bemberg with biege acces-
sories for travelling.
The bride is a graduate of Bluff
ton High school and Bowling Green
State University, and has been teach
ing third and fourth grades at Beav-
erdam.
The groom has been pastor of the
First Mennonite church in Chicago
since his graduation from Bethel col
lege, Newton, Kansas and Hartford
Theological Seminary at Hartford.

IS NATURALIZATION OF

minorities Zone pretext is as good as

Storms of protest arose from work
ing class and liberal groups of all

Austria was the last demand Hitler

what was coming She began an in

After waiting only sufficient

World Capitalism was ready for the

arose which was not so easily stilled.

Chest Board Action Disturbs
Citizens of MissouIa

This action of the Missoula Com
munity Chest Board in terminating
the Family Welfare Agency without
cult for many people in Missoula tc
understand 1t seemed to ignore com
pletely that the agency was sue
cessful training center. 1t also
seemed to exhibit very limited under
standing of the nature of social work
1t failed to see that the agency exist
| ing to meet the welfare needs of the
most urgent type should be the last to
remain rather than the first to go
In other words, it failed to see the
wisdom of keeping the agency which
was on the ground floor in meeting
the social service needs of the people
in the county.
Positive Community Welfare
Programs Are Unusual
The Missoula Community Chest
board probably believed that during
the stress of the war, the community
could not finance it's chest agencies
as formerly. Some agency had to be
eliminated. The Family Welfare
Agency was the first to go probably
because it could be removed with the
least difficulty. People in trouble
seem to be the least able to bring
their needs and wants prominently to
the foreground in the community.
They make rather ineffective pressure
groups. People with fewer neces-
stiles for social service seem to be
better organized to protect their own
interests, to extend their opportuni-
ties, and to forget the positions of the
less fortunate. AS a result, communi-
ties can seldom boast of a positive
community program.
Communities Have Much To
Learn About Democracy
People in responsible places in the
community seem to sit on top with all
the dead weight of tradition, social
blindness and SNUG satisfaction while
less-advantaged people remain sub
merged without much hope and oppor
tunity for more satisfactory condi-
ton of existence. All of the social
programs in the community seem to
be weighted down by this lack of con-
Germ for community welfare and this
unconcern for the effective |
meeting of the needs of families and |
individuals in the community. The |
Community Chest Board by terminal |
ng the Family Welfare Agency made |
many citizens of Missoula conscious |
If the inadequacies of local social well
ARE leadership. 1t is probably true
n every community of the state. Peo-
pie throughout the world are preach
ng the fine values of democracy.
People are sacrificing much for these |
yalues. Yet local leadership remains
earful of it's use. Local leadership |
seems to refuse to give it a chance
,r battle to make it living and vital
economic and social reality.
t remains blind to the simple goal of
in greater measure the pos
abilities of the democratic system.

Protest To WPB

WASHINGTON.-(FP)-A sharpl

ing organizations.

ION many sectors of our industrial
front military output is slowed and
often halted because of the lack of
shelter for war workers needed to
turn out this war production" the
memorandum said in part.
Because essential war housing is
primary war production require
ment," it said, "the nation can no
longer tolerate the piecemeal and I'M
certain supplying of essential mate
rails by system of increasingly in
flated priority ratings"
Housing authorities here agree that,
while the bottleneck in steel has been
relaxed a small amount in recent
weeks in finished steel Gas distinct
from unfinished, which is fabricated
in the mills) the situation is bad.
Priority ratings which were good
in July and August, when some mate
rails were obtained and public hous-
ing did take squirt ahead, are not
much good now. When materials are
MT obtainable at once, these ratings
fall victim to priority imitation rapidly
In October, Federal Public Housing
Authority spokesman said, only $4,000
housing projects were completed, as
compared to $4,000 in September. An
average of $4,000 a month should be
completed OF complete their program
by the end of fiscal year, June 80.
It's now one-third through.
Two 5000-family units are being
occupied now at Hampton Roads, and
in Mobile soon will relieve
the tragic conditions there.
we have a new appropriation of
5000, 100000 under the Lanham act, |
and we can build as fast as we can
get materials" said the FPHA spokes-
man. IF only we could get the same |
priority rating as the plant nearby, we
could get ahead much faster"
A threat is seen by labor in situa-
ions where Army and Navy contrac-
ors may not be able to obtain work |
srs without more housing projects
md will use their own priorities, OBJ
ain materials and build the houses, |
which then would be company-owned |

Third prize winner: How to Get
Along on a Maximum Income of $685.
900 per Year During the War"
By w. H. OLDENBURG,
Bozeman, Montana
Since this is directive for the war
period, and patiently provision for
winning the war in the shortest time,
we hold that budgeting this amount
in such a way as most effectively to
contribute to the end of defeating the
Axis and winning the war is the heart
of the matter on how to live for this
period on $4,000 per year.
Hence, first, we would budget to
the Chinese $4,000 toward the pur-
chase of an airplane with which to
bomb the Japs.
Second, since the Russians are re-
turning 500 of their wounded to fight
again, we would budget another $780,
900 for medical aid to the Soviets.
Third, since our sons and brothers
are also now and must soon in greater
numbers fight and bleed for those
who stay at home to live a sacrificial
life at $4,000 per year, budget an
other $4,000 for the American blood
bank
Our distressed citizen would now
have left what the bulk of middle
class people generally have to spend
for food, clothing, shelter, charities,
namely, $4,000. But if he should still
feel some shame as a patriotic Amer
lean to be living as a middle class
plutocrat in these distressful times,
he could join that rather considerable
army of farmers who live, beget and
serve their country on an annual in
come of $1,000, thus releasing an
other $4,000 for the essential war eff
fort.
Well, it is too bad that there are
only $4,000 to spend when there are
so many urgent needs to be supported.
