Robert F Edmondson, Hobgood, N. C , and Hugh McGovern, Atlan tic City, N J., are good friends at the field, so they decided to get mar ried in unison. Their helpmates-to-be were Mo zelle Reynolds, daughter of Jack Cummings, a former city policeman, and Enid Jane De Weese, Norman. * Sunday the "prospectives" took out their licenses here andjourneyed to Cummings' camp, about five miles .north of Edmond, for the ceremony. Then somebody remembered the camp is in Logan county, and the li censes were issued in Oklahoma county. But the marrying spirit was not to be denied. The principals, resorting to a flank attack, moved with their company of 25 or 30 witnesses and relatives to a nice shady spot?a sort of pastoral pastorate?just inside the Oklahoma county line.
