Couple Is We'd In
Church At EIida

The Elida Methodist church was
the scene of an attractive wedding
Sunday afternoon when Miss Jane
Basinger became the bride of Afford
C. Dilltr. The bride is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Mont
gomery, Lima Route 4, and the
bridegroom is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence D.. Diller of Bluffton.
Bouquets of white gladioli and
lighted candelabra decorated with
stephanotis, formed a background
for the double ring ceremony per-
formed at 3 p. m. by Rev. L r.
Kennard, pastor. Norman Bercher
of Bloomington, I'll, played "Lieb-
straum,' AT Dawning" and "Sweet-
hearts" on the organ, and accom-
panied David Diller, who sang "Be-
cause" II Love Thee Dear" and
Thru the Years."
The brides gown of white or
CANDY over satin had yoke of
Chantilly lace edged with a scallop-
ed bertha trimmed with lace inserts.
Matching inserts accented the full
hooped skirts. Her long veil of the
same lace was held in place with
clusters of gypsophila and her only
iewelry was a strand of pearls given
her by the bridegroom. She carried
white Bible topped with white
gladioli and stephanotis and wore
long lace mitts. Mr.. Montgomery
escorted the bride to the altar.
Similarly-styled frocks of white
swiss dotted in red were worn by
the brides attendants, Miss Dorothy
Schertz of Metamora, H., maid of
honor; Miss Cleo Sherrick of Elida
and Miss Betty Shenk of Conner,
bridesmaids, and Cheryl Anne Che
ney of Elida, the flower girl. Their
picture hats of matching swiss were
trimmed with long red streamers
and they wore short mitts. Each at
tendants carried bouquet of red
gladioli.
Gayle John, Jr., of Wapakoneta,
carried the rings in a white gladioli.
Mark Diller of Bluffton acted as
best man for his brother and ush-
ers were James Diller, Bluffton, an
other brother, and Richard Mont
gomery, Lima, brother of the bride.
For her daughters wedding Mrs.
Montgomery chose navy blue en-
semble and her corsage was of white
roses. Mrs. Diller, the bridegroom's
mother, wore a black sheer with
black and pink accessories. Her
flowers were pink roses.
Approximately 800 guests attend
ed the reception held in the church
parlors and later the couple left for
an eastern trip. For travelling the
bride selected navy blue suit with
navy and coral accessories and wore
corsage of white gladioli.
On their return, Mr.. and Mrs.
Diller will reside on the Bluffton
college campus. Both are students
at the college.

In Kennewick the new building

be somewhere around the middle
of July.
During the carpenter work

and other men went on. However,
if it hadn't been for the wage
dispute between carpenters and
contractors, the building would

Opposition Developing
To T. r. Memorial Spof

OYSTER BAY, L. IAN unex-
pected volume of opposition has de-
veloped against a plan to create a
national shrine at Sycamore Hill,
home of former President Theodore
Roosevelt and one-time summer
White House. AS a result, Mayor
Lee LOOMS of Cove Neck, and
trustees of that incorporated viii
lage, where Sycamore Hill is sit
uated, are awaiting further develop
ments and perhaps abandonment of
the proposal.
At a public hearing in the tennis
court building of Cove Neck to con-
slider an application from the
Roosevelt memorial association for
a change of zoning to permit the es-
Enlistment of the memorial, a
large number of estate owners in
the community stated their opposi-
ton to making a p.blic shrine in
the midst of a strictly residential
section.
There is no business area in
Cove Neck. 1t is a colony of es-
tates approached by a narrow wind
ing road along the waters of Oyster
Bay Cove, and to establish a public
shrine where visitors would pay
entrance fees and roam over the
twenty acres of hills was out of
keeping with the wishes of property
owners, according to the tenor of
most of the protests at the meeting.

Delicate Operation
UntongIes an Artery
Choking Girl Child

BOSTON. - The once tangled
heart of a baby girl has been freec
by a famed surgeon in a very
rare operation which cut a ring
which might have squeezed out hel
lifebeat.
Sandra (Sandy) Kaplan, six.
month-old blond daughter of a
noted athlete, was reported in
good condition"
1--WE think she's cured" the
spokesman said after the hour and
a half of surgery by the noted
specialist, DR.. Richard Sweet, sew
cred part of a great artery from
the heart which threatened to
choke her.
1t was the fourth such operation
in the history of the hospital.
Sandy is the daughter Of Bernard
Kaplan of New Rochelle, N. Y, a
one-time football flash for the Uni
versity of Western Maryland and
later a pro star with the New York
Giants.
From birth the girl was afflicted
with an "aortic ring" which caused
fits of neutrality-suspicious. and diff
Guilty in swallowing.
Sandy's mother said that twice
the attacks she held the
girl upright against her chest
through the night. A nurse
stood by to administer oxygen.
The hospital spokesman said any
Of those attacks could have been
He described the "aortic
ring in this fashion.
The aorta is the principal blood
vessel, or artery, of the human
heart. In a normal person it arches
across the heart and then passes in
'front.' of the windpipe (trachea)
and gullet (esophagus), which are
parallel tubes.
But the girls aorta had split and
divided in such a way that it
passed both in front of and behind
he windpipe and gullet, thus en-
them in a ring. This ring
squeezed against the two essential
'reathing and swallowing tubes of
he throat.
