Famed Marriage
Anvil Now Shown
For 4 Sixpence

GRETNA GREEN, Scotland
fF)-Tnne was when the Village
Of Gretna Green was the world
renowned marriage mill. English
men could cross the border to
Gretna Green and avoid the COM
plications of English law, and
Gretna Green became a synonym
for any town where you could
get married in a hurry.
In 1910, the Scottish law was
finally changed. 1t is now just as
complicated to get married in
Scotland as it is in England. But
the marriage mill is still going
in a way. It's being operated by
one Dick RenniSon, a Scotsman
who knows a shilling when he
sees one.
Dick presides over an ancient.
anvil in an ancient blacksmith
shop. In the old days, this anvil
was the scene of no less than
5000 legal neutrality-suspicious..
Rennison has now made a tourist
attraction out Of it-by perform
ing mock marriages. He often
gets a bigger fee for one of these
shows than he used to get for
real marriage. And he also charg-
es Sixpence for visitors who simp-
ly want to see the famous anvil.
Rehnison won't say what the bust
ness is worth now. But last year,
almost 100000 tourists paid six
pence to have a look. SiXpence is
about seven cents-9so that would
be a gross of $1,000.

the prize for the most outstanding
costume with red and white
shorts and an unusual top.

found in skirts, but the scarcity
Of this item of womens wear at
the party made them rather con-
spicuous. Mrs. Winston Jones had
on a yellow denim skirt and a
gray and yellow halter top and
Miss Virginia Whitmarsh had on
a cotton shirtWaist dress.
Mrs. Daniel Lujan appeared at
the party with a skirt and a lush
dressy blouse. Faced with a fine

Nothing sensational about three
men sacked in As years for crook
edneSs.
It's a drop in the bucket COM
pared with more than SO fired in
year from the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
The story of three chiselers
sacked in almost half-a century
can't compete for interest with
cut-rate mink, home freezes, free
Florida plane trips.
| From the scandals, now explod-
ing, it's easy to get the impress
sion all Government employees
carry bushel baskets, waiting for
handouts.
The impression isn't any more
true than trying to generalize by
Saying all people are good or all
people are bad.
FOOd-Drug Men Have Rule.
And the opposite side of the
picture comes from Charles w.
Crawford, head of the Food and
Drug Administration.
AS Government agencies go, it's
small. 1t doesn't make headlines
often.
1t has about 1000 employees
scattered among Is field Offices
around the country and the main
office in Washington.
All come from the Governments S
civil service rolls. None is a politi-
cal appointee.
The agency's job is to enforce
laws requiring foods, drugs and
cosmetics to be pure. safe ard
honestly labeled.
In the past year it has begun
more than 360sscriminal actions
against offenders and seized more
than 1.400 items of Dad goods.
The following story comes from
Mr.. Crawford, who didn't Just step
up with it, saying: What a good
little boy am l." He was asked for
lit.
Since the agency was founded
in 1906, only three men have had
to be fired for crookedness.
GratuitieS Are Taboo.
From the beginning the agency
has had a tradition that none of
its employees could accept gifts or
