EAR FRIENDs:-

March lion has GER
tainly thrown him
- self about, and now
everyone must be ready for
the lamb to come along with
his quiet ways and give us
some of the spring weather
that many are waiting for with
not much patience. The days
are swift at best, and we would
do well to enjoy each one, whe-
ther the weather suits or not.
So often l go to the scrap book
of my late good friend, Leah
Davis, for inspiration and al
ways find something that suits
the minute or even the Occa-
sion. These four lines from a
poet should quiet our impa-
tienee and give us our thought
food for the day:
The happiest heart that
ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common
daylight sweet
And left to Heaven the rest.
Too few of US do that.
The wedding of Miss Martha
Wilson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James F. Wilson and Ser
geant James Coverdale, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford Cover
dale of Frederick, coming so
quickly on the heels of the
announcement of their engage
ment, surprised their many
friends. The ceremony took
place Saturday evening at sew
en- in the parsonage of Trinity
Church, in GOldsbOro, Mary

erend Ray w. Kirwin, Oficia-
ting. Their attendants were
Mr.. and Mrs. William Glandin
Of Frederica, and Mr.. and Mrs.
William A. Wilson, brother and
sister-in-law of the bride, were
present. A reception followed
at the Coverdale home near
Frederica. Sergeant COverdale

Base in Oklahoma. Mrs. Cow
erdale is a senior at the Mil
ford High School and will fin
ish her studies, joining him at

year.
MiIlie and Bill Faix are the
proud parents of a second son;
born in Memorial Hospital on
March 13. Their first son,
Roger, is quite impatient to
have his young brother home
with him
It will be interesting to her
friends, that Mrs. Craig Robert
son, the former Miss Adele
Warren, has been attending
the Calvary Presbyterian
Church in Riverside, Califor-
MIA, where Lieutenant Robert.
son is stationed, and is sing.
ing in its choir. Mrs. Robert.
