Two Graduations,.
A Guest and Trips
In Staples Family .
Two graduation^ in the Paul R.
Staples family have sparked some
happy and busy times. Arriving
from Hartford, Conn., was Miss
Florence Hale, aunt of Mrs. Sta
ples, to accompany them first to
the graduation of their daughter
Carol—Mrs. Vincent Lanphier—
at Wake Forest College, then to
that of their son Frank at South
ern Pines High school. Miss Hale
is staying on for a further visit
with Mr. and Mrs. Staples.
After receiving her degree,
Carol, with her husband, took
her mother and aunt for a trip
through the mountains, where
they found a world of beauty to
enjoy, with the fine weather and
the rhododendrons and azaleas in
full bloom.
This week, the Lanphiers left to
drive her grandparents. Dr. and
Mrs. Frank E. Hale, of the Hol
lywood Hotel, to their summer
home at Sandy Point, Maine. Mr.
and MrsJ^anphier will remain for
visit, WTJaibTj&xT'WtiS
Mrs. Hale will stay until fall.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Johnson
of Aberdeen returned last week
from a two weeks’ trip abroad in
which they attended a unique so
cial event, one of the year’s most
outstanding in England.
This was the wedding of Pat
rick Wolrige-Gordon, 26-year-old
Scottish member Of Parliament,
to Miss Anne Howard, 25, daugh
ter of Peter Howard, a leader of
the Moral Rearmament movement
in England.
The wedding took place Satur*
day. May 26, at the Church of St.
Peter and St. Paul at Lavenham,
West Suffolk, called England’s
best preserved medieval village.
Some 600 guests from all over the
country and other lands, including
some “royalties,” arrived in two
handsomely decorated special
trains which cost the bridegroom
1,000 pounds.
Among the guests—and piped
on to the station platform by her
personal piper—^was that famous
lady. Dame Flora MacLeod of
Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of
Skye, 84-year-old chieftain of the
Clan MacLeod.
Dame Flora, grandmother of
the bridegroom, has twice visited
the Sandhills, the last time in
1953, when she was accompanied
by her handsome twin grandsons
—‘Patrick Wolrige-Gordon and
John MacLeod. John, the elder of
the two by five minutes, legally
changed his name so that he can
accede to the Clan chieftainship
when the time comes.
While at Aberdeen Dame Flora
and the grandsons visited in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Talbot
Johnson, who have also visited
them at Dunvegan Castle.
This time, Lawrence and
Olive were guests at the 700-year-
old castle, not only to attend the
wedding but for an annual cele
bration on the island, called “Skye
Week.”
The Johnsons trace their an
cestry back to Skye and the Clan
MacLeod, and the kinship has
been enthusiastically acclaimed
by both sides. So it was as warm-
ceremonies and the colorful wed
ding and accompanying social
! functions.
The eyes of England and Scot
land were on the nuptial events,
as they climaxed a peculiarly
British controversy which had
made headlines on both sides of
the ocean. The bride’s MRA con
nections had caused a rift in the
Aberdeenshire Unionist Associa
tion, an important segment of
Wolrige-Gordon’s constituency of
Aberdeenshire East. At one time
the bride had been on the verge
of withdrawing from her engage
ment as it appeared likely to hurt
the career of her dashing fiance.
Patrick Wolrige-Gordon would
not permit her to do this. Instead,
he took his cause directly to his
constituency, and won a thump
ing vote of confidence which
cleared the way for his romance.
With love triumphant, a wed
ding was put on termed by the
press “one of the biggest and cost
liest Suffolk has ever known.”
The high and mighty of England
and the continent, along with
many clansmen of the bride
groom, attended in large numbers
—an estimated 1,700. The diesel
engines hauling the special trains,
polished to a glitter, bore wed
ding bell plaques on their fronts
with the Wolrige-Gordon motto,
“Strong and Ready.” For the oc
casion the West Lavenham sta
tion, closed for more than a year,
was opened and carpeted in red.
After the wedding, all the guests
attended the reception given by
the bride’s father at his farm two
miles from the church.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson flew first,
on May 19, directly to Copenha
gen, Denmark, where they spent
three days sightseeing, enjoying
the world-famous Tivoli Gardens
and other beauties of this small
pictmresque land. They flew then
to Ireland for two days’ sightsee
ing. in a car which they rented,
and thence to Scotland and Dun
vegan Castle.
After the wedding and recep
tion they spent two days in Lon
don, flying home Sunday morn
ing, June 2. From New York they
flew to Raleigh-Durham and
thence home by chartered plane
School commencement that night,
to see their young son Toby serv
ing as a mascot fo rthe class of
1962.

MRS. HODGKINS HAS MEMORABLE TRIP
TO PUERTO RICO AND CASALS FESTIVAL
Mrs. Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr.,
flew to Puerto Rico last week for
a wonderful musician’s holiday
attending the Casals Festival.
Leaving Friday, she returned
Wednesday of this week after five
days at San Juan, during which
there were concerts every night
and numerous other musical
events honoring Pablo Casals,
world’s greatest cellist. Mrs.
Hodgkins is teacher of public
school music in the Southern
Pines schools.
The concerts were held at the
18,000-student University of Puer-
to-RicO. The great Casals, who is
in his 80’s, performed as conduct
or at the first concert, playing
the cello at two others. Seeing
and hearing him Mrs. Hodgkins
described as “an unforgettable
thrill.” The concerts had an inter-
n^ionaj. iiavor, wixn crowds from
Europe (including the Queen of
Belgium), South American coun
tries and the U. S.
Mrs. Hodgkins spent a morning
at the Institute of Puerto Rican
Culture, where, on finding she
was a music teacher, the director
and staff extended her many
courtesies. She said they had
some “delightful discussions” on
Puerto Rican folk music, and that
she was able to bring back some
excellent material to use in her
classes.
She managed to work in a good
bit of sightseeing in San Juan
and outlying areas, finding it all
as interesting and beautiful as she
had imagined. She found her
modest knowledge of Spanish
served her needs very well, both
in reading and speaking.
Mrs. Doris Wilson, mother of
Mrs. Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr., and
little granddaughter _ Caroline
Hodgkins visited her sister, Mrs.
A. G. Outland at Kelford during
Mrs. Hodgkins’ recent trip to
Puerto Rico to attend the Casals
Festival.
