MIDDLEBURG, Va, May IL.
Even the Gold Cup lacked
glitter compared to the we'd
ding reception that Mr.. and
Mrs. John Pettibone gave for
their daughter Rose Marie on
Saturday after her marriage
to Frederick Grupp, jr. It was
the biggest, gayeSt and most
beautiful party that Middle
burg has seen in many a coun-
try moon.
After the four-thirty cere-
mony at st. Johns Catholic
Church in Leesburg, the we'd
ding party and guests returned
to the Pettibones' Homewood
Farm near Middleburg where
the reception went on until IL
midnight.
Members of the wedding
party and the bride and BRIDE
groom's parents received in
the large hall and part of the
drawing room which were
beautifully decorated with Gala
lilies and greens. For two hours
they greeted over 400 guests
who came to Homewood from
all over the country. Even the
races at Warrenton were cut
short by many people who left
after the Gold Cup had been
run to come home, dress and
make the reception on time.
Elaborate Buffet
The bridal party's long table,
an equally long one for the
families and special out-of-
town guests, and even longer
table laden with a supper of
bouillon, turkey, roast beef,
salad and hot rolls, surround
ing a five-tier wedding cake,
were placed on the lawn in
front of the house under a large
green and white marquee.
Other guests, after and during
the endless flow of champagne,
sat at individual tables placed
on the lawn and around the
swimming pool. A night club,
complete with parquet dancing
floor was built on the side
driveway. At one side, Sidney
played in the middle of an i'm
ported flower garden while
small tables circled the dance
floor where Rose Marie and
her father started the dancing
to Rosie Marie, I love you"
Gala lilies were suspended
in large vases from the roof of
the marquee covering the dance
floor and even the ice-cream
was made in moulds of the

Although the people of Laos

event-the formation of a
constitutional monarchy in

independence from France.
The people of Laos are very
proud of their constitution

Too Few EueninQs

Many Columbia Falls residents are finding that
seven evenings week are not enough.
Increasing number Of activities result in evenings
at home becoming fewer AS the city grows, the trend
will continue as we get more new organizations.
We understand that Whitefish has good unwrit-
ten rule It is that Thursday is church night without
any school activities whatsoever. AS result the
several churches tend to concentrate much Of their
mid-week activity Thursday evenings Attendance is
better.
Here in Columbia Falls COMMUNICATIVE efforts
during the week appear to be conflicting with churches
each having different evenings for their md-week
activities. At the same time family is not apt to
attend more than one church.
Lack of community calendar results in some
portion of our people busy every night. Then comes
the idea Of the whole getting together on presen
tation Of the Messiah which is scheduled for Dec Is
Rehearsals are running into the problem that there
isn't any evening where all folks come

than an evening meeting.

We've not heard that any local group recommend

resource.
Illegal kills certainly seem to harvest any m
crease Of the moose population up the North Fork II
addition to poachng moose sometimes challenge the

Certainly if we want our Christmas cards to reach

Pau bY Mail

There's way each householder can save the city
of Columbia Falls money Where practical water bills
should be paid by check instead of going to the city
clerks office
Mrs. Ruby J. Guillaume-Berg city clerk, has
found that water bills paid by mail considerable
time in her office.
Folks who stop at the city hall to pay their water
bills have created situation where the council has
authorized employment of parttme assistant to the
city clerk, specifically to take of water bill pay
mentS.
At the same time, it is realized that some of the
city residents do not have checking accounts and it is
not practical to send cash in the mail money
orders for local payments
We should keep in mind that where possible, our
water bills should be paid by check, which helps re
duce the cost of local government bit
On the county level Mrs. Freda Shanahan, county
treasurer, has said: Taxes paid by mail make it
possible for us to handle payments in less time
as well as eliminating the delay that may occur at
the windows
This method Of helping reduce the costs of local
government would also more convenient for each
