Wedding Bells

Chicago--The June Janu-
airy wedding between IL
year-old AME Zion Bishop
William j. Walls and his 25-
year-old secretary Dorothy
Jordan, is featured in the
March EBONY. The Bishop
reviews his 5O-year search
for a bride.
When William Walls be-
came of age, he decided what
kind of woman he wanted to
marry. For years, the secret
-crouched in a simple sem
tence--lay hidden in his
heart. Occasionally, in pray
er, he would utter: when l
find a moman who loves me
as / love her, I'll marry"
Because he did not find that
woman, the brilliant young
churchman chung to bachelor
hood. Twice he almost made
it to the altar. Once, while
pastoring in North Carolina,
he became engaged to the
daughter of a bishop. He
asked his betrothed would
she move to Kentucky where
he had been offered a pastor
ate. She baked. "Now or
never!' sampled the minis
ter. The young woman hest
tated and the engagement
went mp in smoke.
After so long years, the
prelate found his bride in his
own church, in his own of
flee. The bishop was as sur
prised as his colleagues. "She
won me over the way no other
girl had" Bishop Walls told
EBONY.
Why had he Stunned mar
riage for 80 long? Some claim
ne had promised not to marry
as long as his mother lived.
Bishop Walls denies this. Be-
fore her death last May, at
the age of 90, she told her
son: 81 hate to die and leave
you here alone. Why don't
you marry your secretary?
You won't find anybody bet
ter"
Interesting enough, Bishop
Walls had come to the same
conclusion. So last August,
after all of the office work
had been completed, the Bis
hop suddenly found himself
as shy and bashful as a school
boy. He proposed to Miss
Dorothy Jordan, she accept
ed, and his 50-year search for
a bride was over.

Plans Underway to Perfect
CnId1UeU Alumni Group
BY IVES MARSHALL

Through its years of existence,
Caldwell high school may not
have provided the utmost in
educational facilities. The grad
yates of the institution may not
have received the best instruc-
ton at all times. The learning
process may have stumbled here
and there through the years.
But regardless of whatever
failing it might have had, if any,
each student received a priceless
gift. The oiled floors and wooden
desks, the teacher and books and
classmates have contributed to
that little nook in ones heart
called the album of memories.
Each departing student not
only mastered mathematics,
spelling and various other sub
jects, but gained in the ability
to love and become a friend to
his or her fellow classmates. In
world that often becomes harsh
and cruel, early high school
friendships may be more impor-
tant than AS, BIS or degrees.
Hardly a day passes without
the use of multiplication, spell
ing or English. But what happens
to the memory side of those
wonderful four years? Each of
the members of the graduating
class go their own way, often
never to meet again. We tend
to retain our book learning, but
why should the friendships and
contacts be lost?

State Highway
Will Repair
Miller Street

Kenneth C. Kearns, superin-
tendent of highways, has an
nounced that his department will
start work on the USR 81 section
Miller street, the second week of
July.
Kearns stated that stabiliz-
ing blacktop would be applied to
the badly rutted portions Of USR
q, beginning July 8. Construc-

maintenance work, traffic will
be detoured around the northern
portion of Miller street. Kearns
stated that north and south
bound vehicles would be routed
around the area, either up or
down Railroad and Belford
streets.
In other highway maintenance
activities, ditching operations on
USR Il were completed June 80.
kearns announced that the con-
struction of a 80 by Is ft, bridge
on SR 146 was also completed
June 20. He explained, however,
that the road remained closed
due to a large amount of fill
necessary for the approach to
the structure.
