Virginia Shay Is Bride
At Ceremony Uniting
She and Leo w arren

On Jan. "a at 7 p. m. in the
United Protestant church at Rich
land, Wash, Miss Virginia Shay,
daughter of Mrs. Ethel Shay of
Laurel, became the bridge of Leo
Warren, son of Mrs. Fred Ingle-
hart of Benton City, Wash.
The ceremony was performed by
DR.. Thomas Acheson, pastor of the
church, in front of the candelbra-
lighted altar, thanked on either side
by tall baskets of pink and white
carnations, yellow daffodils and or
child chrysanthemums.
The bride was given in marriage
by her brother, Neal Shay.
The bride wore a two-piece winter
white wool suit with a narrow
stripe, pink net blouse, and a pink
feather hat with a pink veil. Her
corsage was a large pink camellia
tied with silver ribbon. Also she
carried a white bible. Her only
other ornament was a blue cavalier,
gift of the groom.
Her maid of honor, Miss Bernice
Reiter with whom she lived three
years, wore a two-piece aqua gabar-
dine suit with black and white ac-
~cessories, and a corsage of white
camellias tied with silver ribbon.
The groom was attended by a
very close friend, Jack Smith.
Before the ceremony, Miss Joseph
inc Turner, laboratory supervisor at
the hospital where Mrs. Warren
works, sang 80 Promise Me" and
"Love That Will Not Let Me Go"
Immediately preceding this the
church was darkened and Mrs. Jack
Smith lighted the candles.
Gene Warren and Earl Warren,
brothers of the groom, were ushers.
The brides mother, Mrs. Shay,
wore a sequin-trimmed brown dress
with pink accessories, and the
groom's mother was in a black dress
with white and black accessories.
Each wore a corsage of pink rose
buds and white tuberoses tied with
pink ribbon.
Following the ceremony the young
couple left on a brief honeymoon
trip, after which they will reside
in Richland where both are en-
ployed.
The bride was born here, where
she received her grade and high
school education. She attended Bill
lings Polytechnic and Montana uni
versity, and received practical train
ing at the Great Falls D%eaconess
hospital and the Great Falls Clinic.
She is a medical technician at the
hospital in Richland.
The groom was born in Benton
City and graduated from high
school there. He enlisted and serv-
ed three years with the marines
and saw action in the Pacific thea
ter. He holds several awards and
was discharged in October 1915.
Besides the brides mother and
her brother Neal, others from Laur-
ell attending the wedding were her
aunt, Miss Valma Shay, and her
brothers, Don and Dick Shay.

rates upwards effective next
Sunday. The Springs notice said
the new rates would be posted

Approximately $4,000 workers
are affected by the wage in

There was some sentiment.
however, to refer the matter to
the Lambeth conference with the
Archbishop of Canterbury in
England next year, and to have a
committee report back to the
general convention for action.
The decision as to whether the
House of Bishops will approve
the petition or refer it to the
general convention will be made
Friday.
This morning the controversial
question of marriage and divorce
canons came up for considerable
argument but little action.
The House of Bishops agreed
to let the canons remain as thew
are until the next general con-

two employers and four labor
union officials were charged
with entering into a closed shop
contract.
Herbert S. Thatcher of Wash
ington and George Pennell of
Asheville, rep es e n tin 6 til e
American Federation of Labor
agreed that since there were
no economic or social conditions
in North Carolina to justify pas
sage of the closed shop act it was
unconstitutional, and that it was
also unconstitutional because it
abridged the freedom of con-
tract. They conceded that the
legislature had the power to pass
laws to correct "abuses." ;"
Pennell argued that if the leg
islature had the power to pass
an act prohibiting the closed shop
then it also had the power tc
pass a law forcing workers to be.
long to unions.
Mcmillan asserted that the
legislature had the power to pass
legislation regulating relations
between workers and employers
when the public interest is in
volved. He also asserted that sc
long as the act was not "arbi
trary" and unreasonable" it was
purely a legislature matter and
not for the courts to decide.

he was strongly critical of the
length of time taken. Britain's
program calls for return of all by
October, 1948, Belgium's by jan
uary l, 1948, and France must
return 10000 month to have
them out by the end of 1948 but
they are not doing that now,"
Byrnes said.
Take Seven Years
But the Russians, by their own
figure of 10000 a month, will take
more than seven years to release
their German prisoners if this
rate is followed, the speaker as
serted. In April they estimated
they were holding 890,532, he
said. ...
The Japanese situation is "an
entirely different question,
Byrnes contended. General Mac
Arthur has made frequent de-
mands for the return of these
prisoners without success, he
said.
A member of MacArthur's staff
estimated that in Octob Der the
number still held in Soviet Rus.
sia was 761, 900 and in Manchuris
1000, Byrnes reported.
He urged anew that the Unit
ed States insist on holding peace
conference of all the wartime
allies early in 1948 to start draft
ing a peace treaty for Germany
completing it without Russia's
adherence if she refused to &c

Old IRON Mine
TO Be RE0PENED

Mine Which Produced Ore
For "Old Ironsides" To
Become Operative

RINGWOoD, N. J.-W.H-The
Ringwood iron mines which pro-
duced the cannon OF "Old Iron
sides'' and the Hudson river de-
fense chain in Revolutionary days,
have been reopened. The mines
came to life after 16-year pause
in their historic careers during
which nothing has been heard OF
their lonely "ghost.
Production at the 48O-foot-deep
Cannon Mine has reached 800 tons
of ore a day since the inhabitants
Of this 2O0-year-old mining COM
naunity returned happily tr m
their "exile" in the factories OF
Greater New York when digging
was resumed June %.
The Peters Mine will be opened
saon, bringing employment up to
200 men by the end of the year
and production to 1000 tons a day.
Natives versed in local Legends
also expect the mine to release an
almost forgotten ghost from its
2,700-foot depths.
The ghost, perhaps that of
miner who lost his life in some
iong-ago accident, is said to knock
on the walls Of the mine shortly
before an accident. Some say he
il asking for company, others that
he is warning of an impending
tragedy.

and Charles L. Guthrie off Beau
rtsInlet. and made this report
to the Division of Commercial
Fisheries, U. S. Interior Depart
ment.
"a large bag was placed out
side the new net to retain the
fish it normally allows to escape.
"a total of 932 food fish and 375
shrimp was collected in the ex-
perimental operations, and of
this number 634 young fish and
rs shrimp escaped through the
meshes of the new tail bag and
collected in the outside test bag.
Small Fish Escape
The fish escaped consisted al
most entirely of gray trout,
croakers and spots having an
average length of five to seven
inches. They were alive when
caught in the escapement net. "
The catch of shrimp and fish
was low as compared with
shr1mping operations in general,
DR.. Prytherch reported, "but the
results indicate that the use of
the new tail bag by the shrimping
vessels operating off Beaufort in
let at the time would have saved
100000 important food fishes dur
ing that one mornings fishing. -
There are more than $500 H.
