Wedding" which was carried out in military fashinn with fifty children of the village
taking part, Donald Brackett (son of Mr, and Mrs, Lawrcnce Brackett) was‘the groom

in evening govms. Some were'kind of bashful like but others marched down the aisle
as though they were grovnn up. Mrs, Fred Falls, Mrs, George Hart, and Mrs, J, L*
