(International) My Favorite Stories By CARL GOERCH , A rather unusual wedding cere mony took place in Wake County several yeats ago. In fact, it hap pened during the last war. Miss Walker and Mr. Harrison were going together and at the time Mr. Harrison was inducted into the service. Just before Mr. Harrison left for Fort Benning, they decided to get married in the near future. One day Miss Walker received a letter from her fiance saying that he had been granted a ten-day furlough and would be home just as quickly as he could get there. He got there very auickly. Naturally, one of the first things ' I he did when he got home was to go around to see Miss Walker. Before he left her that evening, they de cided that they might just as well go ahead and get married. The announcement was made the next day. The wedding was to take plate in the local Baptist Church the following Wednesday. It was | too late to get out engraved invita tions, so the news was passed around by word of mouth. All friends of the couple were invited to be present. Miss Walker went to Raleigh and bought a lot of things for the wed ding. Including her bridal gown. Arrangements also were made for decorating the church and for a reception at the home of the bride's parents after the ceremony. The wedding was to be at eight o'clock. Shortly before that time, people began arriving at the church. As the hands of the clock crept around to eieht o'clock, the edifice was well filled with friends and rela tives of the couple. Promptly at eight o'clock, a young lady began playing soft mu sic on the organ. In a minute or two, another young lady proceed ed to sing. "Oh. Promise Me". She sane it verv beautifully. There was a brief wait, and then the strains of the wedding march rang through the church. Two groomsmen walked down the aisle. Next came a couple of bridesmaids. The best man showed up through a side entrance. So did the preach er. , And then came the bride. She was most attractive In her lovely white dress and didn't seem to be the least bit nervous. The organ continued playing un til every one arrived in the proper place. The minister stepped for ward. The bride turned around and faced the crowd with a bright smile upon her countenance. The minister then proceeded to speak. He said he was glad to see so many friends present on this jovous occasion. He called atten tion to the fact that he had been serving this particular church for seven years. During that time, he had met many people, and there was no one for whom he had high er regard than Miss Walker and Mr. Harrison. "As you know," he continued. "Mr. Harrison has donned the uni form of his country and is now stationed at Fort Benning. Yes terday morning he received a tele gram, ordering him to leave on the first train and return to the Fort. He and Miss Walker came to me and explained what had happened ! They requested me to marry them at once, and this I did. However, Inasmuch as all arrangements for the wedding had been made, it was decided not to say anything about it. So it was agreed that the cere-' mony tonight should proceed ac cording to plans, even though our I two young friends had already been married. The reception also will take place in accordance with previous plans." And with that, the organist be gan to play again. The bride-rail by herself ? walked up the aisle. She was followed by the wedding party. After that the crowd left the church and went around to the Walker home, where a receiving line had formed. Everybody went down the line, shodk hands and en joyed refreshments. Nobody seem ed at all surprised about the way things turned out, and everybody agreed that it was one of the pret tiest weddings that had taken place in the church in many years. While it was in progress, the groom was at Fort Bennlng, busily engaged at his regular duties, undoubtedly re gretting the fact exceedingly that he couldn't have been present at j the affair. | The United States had 26.750,- j 000 births during the past 10 years. IN. C. Soil Test Requirements Eased By ASC All mandatory soil test require ments under the Agricultural Con servation Program have been lift ed for 1955. At a recent meeting attended by heads of agricultural agencies at the state level, it was deemed wise that the state ASC committee lift these requirements. Clyde R. Greene, chairman of the state ASC committee and H. D. Godfrey, of th? state office, report that this change affects Practice 3, applica tion of liming materials on crop lands; Practice 6, improvement of permanent pasture or hay, and Practice 19, topdressing of drought hit pastures. This change in mandatory soil test requirements under the pro gram does not by any means indi cate a feeling on the part of agri cultural leaders that soil testing is not a vital and permanent part of good farming practice, Godfrey says. This change was made mere ly tecause all soil-testing facilities available to Tar Heel farmers are just not adequate to handle the tre mendous volume of samples being submitted under the AC program, lie says that the state laboratory now has a backlog of over 10,000 | samples. If tbe mandatory' soli test requirement was continued for spring practices, thousands of farm ers would be left out in the cold as far as cost-share assistance un der the ACP is concerned. Godfrey said the state cannot afford to lose even the smallest fraction of pos sible soil and water conservation, much less the amount represented by thousands of untested samples. Soil testing is still strongly rec-! ommended for all vegetative cover practices under the Agricultural Conservation Program. *?ai Ads bring quick results Scout LeadJ Discuss Piocjl the Daniel Boone C^B conference t>ere MqJJB the First Biptirt chwJB projects ot the area ?
