Watters - Reaves The marriage of Miss Rosa Lee Reaves, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Reaves, to Wil liam Hall Watters, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James L. Wat ters, all of Wilmington, took place Saturday, April 22, 5 o’clock, at the Fouth Street Advent Chris tian church. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. J. Wilson, pastor of the church. The church was beautifully decorated with palms and fern, centered with eleven branched candelabra, banked on each side with seven-branched candelabra, forming a' background for vases of white flowers. The bride entered the church with her father, by whom she was given in marriage, she wore a wedding gown of white or gandy over taffeta, fashioned with tiny Peter Pan double collar, cap sleeves, embroidered fitted bodice, CATHOLIC INFORMATION “Let’s just strangle theml” “Think of how much money we'd save. We’d never have to bother with insane asylums, old folks’ homes, or hospitals for the hopelessly sick. It would be very easy in the case of orphans, be cause they would not have any mothers or fathers to get in our1 way. We could just wring their little necks, and we wouldn’t have the trouble of supporting them un til they were old enough to keep themselves.” But hold on a minute! You can’t do that! It isn't Christian! It isn’t American! Even if you were brutal enough to try it, the law would be after you quicker than you could say Shucks. "What right has the law to in terfere? If I think a thin£ is all right and if it doesn't hurt my conscience, do you mean to say the law can stop me?” It certainly can, Joe, whoever you are! Murder, of course, is a crime which always steps on someone else’s toes. But just think of bigamy—trying to have two wives at the same time. Even if both the silly girls should agree, the law wouldn’t—and you’d wind up behind the bars. Our laws are built on a Chris tian platform. The men who fram ed them had a firm belief in God, the soul, and a future life—and that explains a lot of things. It explains, for instance, why every penny is stamped “In God We Trust.” It explains why mar riage, though a contract, can’t be broken simply by the consent of both parties; why policemen arrest degenerates who are com mitting certain unmentionable moral crimes, however “private” their crimes may be. “All men are created equal"— Christianity. “The inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pur suit of happiness”—Christianity. “In God We Trust”—Christianity. Our country stands or falls with those Christian principles. The American way is the Christian way. Take God out of the picture and there is no reason at all for laws against such “private” crimes as nudism and free love; against sex perversion. But put God back on the scene and you have again the American way we know and love, a nation with a glor ious destiny, the most powerful na tion on earth, using that power for good!

Information On Benefit Increase When the service-connected disability of a World War 1 vet eran becomes aggravated or is gradually growing worse, the vet eran should write a letter to the ■ Veterans Administration inform , ing them or tms fact, says Craw | ford L. Rourk, Veterans Service j Officer for Brunswick County. I - - ^ >. - [ He should also attach to his let j ter a statement from his own private physician certifying- to the j fact that his disability is now, more disabling than the degree of I disability now allowed by rating | board, says the Veterans Official. ''For instance, if he is drawing $15.00 for a 10 percent disability and the doctor makes a written i =====——— I statement, on his letter head and I not a scrap of paper, that his ' service-connected disability is now more than 20 percent disabling- he will be entitled to reconsideration of his claim, will be called for re examination, and if an increase is in order it will be paid” Rourk stated.
