by Reverend Fred L. Davis at thl

five in the evening. The beauty. of
the church was enhanced by lighted
tapers in seven-branched candle-
abra. forming a background for the
massed arrangement of Shasta (dai-
sies. Easter lilies, white gladioli
and greenery. Shasta dais'.Ec in
brass vases were placed on either
side of the altar table. Large ar-
rangements in standards of white
gladioli, Easter lilies and greenery
were on either side of the prie-
dieu, which was covered with
white linen. The family pews were
marked with white satin ribbons.
Mrs. Mark Tomlinson, organist,
presented a program of nuptial mut-
sic including, "To A Wild Rose",
"Adoration," "Liebestraum" during
the ceremony and Mrs. Hunter Rus-

The bride was attended by her

of sky blue organdy featured a bouf-
fant skirt with pin-tucks, inter-
spersed with rows of lace insertion,
extending almost to the hemline.
The strapless bodice featured a de-
tachable, triangular, lace-edged
bertha with 'throat-high neckline
and tiny self covered buttons fas-
tened down the back. Her head

carried butterfly shaped bouquets
of Shasta daisies and their only or-
naments were tear-drop earrings,
gifts- of the bride. They wore hair
arrangements identical to the maid


in a graceful train. Her fingertip
veil of illusion extended from a
c'oonet of embroidered organdy
studded with, pr'tarl- and the bride's
only ornament was a diamond, sun-
burst brooch of her paternal grand-
mother's that has ornamented the
last two generations of brides of
the Ward family.
A fan-shaped arrangement of lil-
ies of the valley and' white satin
ribbons centered with a yellow
throated orchid, was carried by the
bride.
The best man was Roger Hudson
of Calhoun City, Mississippi and
the groomsmen were John Aide
Dr. Robert E. King, Hunter Rus-
sell, Will Ramsey and Edwara

turing Chantilly lace *'odice and
chiffon skirt. Her corsage was of
yellow roses. The mother of the
groom wore navy crege with a
corsage of white carnations.
A reception was given by the
bride's parents at the Social Hall
of the church. The Hall was beau-
tifully decorated with arrangements
of white gladioli, Shasta daisies,
yellow day lilies, greenery and
Sabal palms.
The bride's table wvs covered
with a handsome, white organldy
cloth centered with the three-tiered
wedding cake embossed with white
and yellow throated lilis. On either
side of the cake were silver candie-
abra holding yellow tapers tied. ;

frosted blue suit. With this she
wore a white, starched linen-straw
hat ornamented with rhinestones
and crystals and having a nose-tip
veil, and navy accessories. Her
corsage was a yellow throated or-
chid from her bridal bouquet.

ida for a good many years, in fact
they have the largest farm of its
kind in the world. They raise alli-
gators.
This remarkable farm, operated
,by W. I' Drysdale and Charlie Usi-
.na, is known as the St. Augustine
Alligator Farm and is located in
the Ancient City on U.S. Highway
AIA.
Every time I visit the place I'm
reminded of the story of the drunk
who went from table to table in a
bar and tried to engage folks in
conversation. He would sit down
by a stranger and ask him if he
knew that a mama alligator laid
a hundred eggs a year and then the
papa alligator would come long and
eat all but one egg.
After he had asked the question
over and over, the stranger became
exasperated. "All right," she said,
-"So the mama alligator lays 100
eggs and the papa alligator eats 99
of them, so what?"
"You mean you are not interest-
ed?" asked the drunk, "You mean
you don't care whether the papa
alligator eats the eggs or no:?"


They are literally up to their necks
in alligators; .they have thousands
of them from day-old offspring to
ancient relics.
I was recently .honored by being
enrolled as a member of the "Alli-
gator 'Club and Saurian Club'
which is a rather exclusive organi-
zation. My membership card in-
forms me that I am a member in

the rights and privileges listed on
the reverse side of the card. It
reads as follows:

vided that member is of sufficient

' (2) To chute the chute into the
breeding pool with the live alliga-
tors. Member must furnish own
bathing suit and mercuroclhrome.
(Note: Breeding -pool is not to be
confused wtih the Ladies''Lounge).

'S ABOUT TIME
o brief for the sword, but there
es when we have had cause to
itiness that is so glibly credited
ere can be no question, however,


about the power of the can-opener. Just to
make it official, we will be celebrating National
Can Opener Week during the merry month of
May and we do not recall that there has
ever been a National Pen Week, nor even a
National Sword Week.
Further, if you don't think it's about time
for. NCOW, you might consider how destitute
the American family would be without this
humble device faced as it is with an average
of 788 cans of food to open during.the year.
Another way of looking at it is that the great
American can-opener will slice its way through
four million miles 'of tin-coated sheet steel dur-
ing 1954!
America's first can-opener, a rather slight
improvement on the hatchet,' was patented by
Ezra J. Warner in 1854. Since that time, Uncle
Sam has granted 1,149 more can-opening pa-
tents, so that the "art", as they call it in the
Patent Office, is now pretty darned advanced.
In fact, there's one priced at $3,000, that is
studded with diamonds and rubies, although
we think the magnet they now put on the wall-


type openers (to keep the severed lid from fall- I
ing in) is a gem of far greater value.
Another little-known fact is that all of us
who ever open a can are indebted to the Can
Manufacturers' Institute for the recent improve-
ment and present excellence of the device that
stands between us and starvation in this land
of plenty. They hired twelve young ladies of
assorted shapes and sizes, weak and strong,
helpless and determined-and put 'em to work
"evaluating" can-openers, for eight hours a day.
Among other things, they found that it takes
only four seconds to open a can with a wall-

type opener-more than twice as fast as the old
fashioned punch-pump way.
We don't know what in the world they did
with all the food they opened up, but they found
out (with 450 different sizes and types of can,
including dented ones) what was good and bad
about the openers. So now, when you buy one
cf these implements with the CMI Seal of Ap-
proval on it, you know it failed to make any
of the girls cry, or scratch a finger, or wrench a
tendon-or even get juice in her eye.

There is no unbelief

And waits to see it push away

He trusts in God.
There is no unbelief
Whoever sees, neathh winter's

The silent harvest of the future

God's power must know.
There is ho unbelief
Whoever lies down on his couek,

"Horse Cocktails" Gone
Ailing horses often used to get a
kick out of life, before modern
science came along with fancy pill
and wonder-working drugs. Some
veterinarians of the horse-and-
buggy days considered "rum,
whiskey, brandy, gin, port, sherry,
claret, champagne, stout, ale, and
lager beer as particularly useful in
aiding the recovery of sick horses."
Today, penicillin, sulfa drugs, and
vitamin-mineral tonics have largely
replaced the cocktail hour for
equine patients.

gy conveyed to them over the
i nervoussystem -from the brain
which generates this energy .-.
Nerves -emit from between ver-
tebrae, so when falls, Jars or
strains misplace a vertebrae,
pressure on nerves is produced
which interfrees with normal
junction, creating disease.
.-Adjusting misplaced vertebrae
is like pushing the button to
produce light: its restored flow
of vital energy and health is
the natural result.
..To you it may seem miracu-
lous that we can adjust verte-
brae arid regulate ,blood ppyes-.
sure, relieve, constipation sinus,
stomach, or kidney trouble, and
in fact, most of the ills to which
humanity is subjected.
Instead of treating -effects,
the.scientific Chiropractor seeks
the cause responsible for ef-
fect, known as disease, and by
proper adjustment eliminate
tie cause.
Health is natural heritage.
Thousands of men,.women, and
children realize from experience
the health benefits obtained by
keeping the spine in normal
condition.

combination of race-tire engineering
c. d nylon construction makes the Firestone
'500" the safest high-speed tire ever
',- eloped. In' hundreds of rests at the
speedway, this tire was Iproven safe at
speeds far in excess of normal highway
r;rving speeds, giving the motorist up to
5 mph safety) margin over ordinary tires.


Special Safti-Liner
Protects Against Punctures

Safer from flats because the air-tight butyl
Safti-Liner that's bonded to- the inside of
the tire clings to nails to prevent air loss.
Since there's no tube to pierce or explode,
you get extra blowout protection too.


". ..





The'new Firestone "500" is a brute for
punishment. With a nylon cord body, a
full 91% stronger than ordinary tires, it
defies road shocks. Unlike other tires which
develop:"body fatigue" after a few hours
of driving, the "500" can be driven continu-
ously without growing weak or "tired."



New Tread Increases
Skid Protection

The outer ribs remain open to provide a
suction-cup action on slippery pavement,
while the inner ribs mesh together to cre-
ate a positive biting action for'sure-footed
traction on starts, stops, and turns.


The "500" was subjected to thousands of
miles of high-speed driving over blistering
desert roads where the mercury reached
1200 in the'shade. Under these torturous
driving conditions, ordinary tires fre-
quently "pop" like toy balloons, but the
Firestone "500" was proved blowout-sofe
at these higher road temperatures.


Race-Tire Construction
Increases Mileage
An entirely new cold rubber tread com-
pound developed under a new chemical
formula makes possible a tread of race
tire toughness, providing much longer
mileage. Stronger cord body permits more
retread miles too.
