SCORES OF WASHING
TON OFFICIALS and some
members Of the press opened
their mail the other morn
ing to find a wedding invita-
ton that followed the fami-
liar American style of folded
engraved card with separate
reception invitation enclosed.
They began reading: "The
Vice President and Mrs. Will

daughter Woke Rosalind to

But where? They casually
lowered their eyes to the last
line. It. read, "Bensonville,
Liberia" That just goes to
show what q casual approach
to distances we are taking
these days. AS the farmer
would say, That's a fur
piece" and he didn't mean a
mink stole.
The wedding, followed by a
reception in the Vice Presid-
ent's home, will be a pretty
official affair what with his
daughter marrying the son Of
the president.

The news from Newport
