Students IN HERO ROLE The wedding of Miss Barbara Bame, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Bame, formerly of Gouver- neur, but now residing at 725 Saliva Street, Syracuse, to Mr. Kenneth Morris, a boyhood sweetheart of Miss Barnes, took place in the Syra- cuse University Chapel at four o’clock yesterday afternoon. Dr. El- ton VanOrnum, President of the University, officiated. The altar of the chapel was decor- ated with burdocks, dandelions, and cowslips. Unbleached muslin was laid in the aisle and the pew ends were tied with swamp grass and poison ivy. Miss Sylvia Sterling was maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Doris Blanchard, Miss Marjorie Stevenson, Miss Roberta MacTurk, Miss Wilabel Tulley, Miss Olive Car- ter, and Miss Caroline Jones. William Pike of Fullerville was best man, and ushers were Edward Perrin, John Christian, Claude Rose, Earl Patton, Gerald Wells, and Mil- bourn McIntosh. Ruth Hockey at the organ played The Prisoner’s Song. The bride, who entered on the back of her father, was gowned in an an- cient model of imported fish net, made princess style with long, close- fitting sleeves with dainty shoulder pleating and nine hundred twenty-six buttons made of petrified fish scales. A twenty-five yard train extended from the shoulders to the police sta- tion. Her short veil of red crepe reached to her finger tips. Her bou- quet was of meadow mustard and spinach. Skv blue pink chiffon gowns, made on Richville style, were worn by the attendants. A sunburst of gun pow- der created the atmosphere for the sumptuous affair. Helen King was dressed in a mo- lasses-colored hat with pea green accessories. A reception in the wood shed of the chapel followed. Both the re- ception room and the men’s lounge were charmingly decorated with devils paint brushes and skunk cab- bage.

After July 4, 1945, Mr. and Mrs. Morris will be at home to their friends at 1897265432 Harmony Lane, Syracuse. LESTER MILLARD BUYS FAMOUS DAPPLE GRAY The former multi-millionaire, Les- ter Millard, attended the centennial Horse Show at Barnsville, where he bought from Eugene Byrns, the fa- mous dapple grey horse “Carrie” as a reminder of his high school girl- friend. It is said that this horse holds the world record for speed. Mr. Millard expects to enter the Brown Derby held at the Balmat race course in June, and to establish the record at a mile in one and one-six- teenth seconds. NON-STOP RECORD BROKEN BY MISS LEONA MERRITT Miss Leona Merritt, flying in her airship Johnny, broke the non-stop record between Gouverneur and Spragueville and set it at three and one-quarter minutes. The reason for her rush was that she forgot that she had left the potatoes on the stove. Our Disrespectful Mayor Emulates Paul Revere and Warns Coun- tryside of Flood Many families of Gouverneur moved to Sand Hill as the Oswe- gatchie River continued to rise. At five o’clock this morning our disre- pectful mayor, Mike Wranesh, was sitting on the river bank in the cem- etery, looking for the gold golf ball he had tried to drive into a two inch hole five miles distant. Yesterday he missed his mark for the first time, lost his whole fortune, and drove his ball into the Oswegatchie River. Sad, sad! This ball was his sole pos- session. It represented the sum total of all his earthly goods; not able to eat or sleep, he sat down near the place where his wealth had disap- peared. Suddenly he was awakened from his musings—water was over his shoe tops; water was rising rapidly to his waist before he fully became conscious of his danger. Making a mighty effort, he dragged himself to a higher level. Then he realized that the whole country was in dan- ger. The people must be saved and by him! The spirit of Paul Revere was in his stalwart frame as he realized his duty. A goat was nibbling the grass. Mike, filled with noble ambitions, jumped astride the creature and gal- loped over hill and dale, shouting “The river ! The river ! If you want to save your liver flee from the river!” He kept straight on his crooked course the entire seventy-five miles of the Oswegatchie River. At the end of one half hour, Mike returned, a wiser man on a weary goat. As he approached his home, he saw a shining light upon the lawn —he approached it and discovered that the wild river had receded and left in his own door yard, his treas- ure, his golden golf ball. The inhabitants of Gouverneur are preparing to hold a special meeting tomorrow night to vote upon declar- ing an annual national holiday in honor of their hero. Miss Isabel Maloy of Oxbow is the proud author of a large volume en- titled Hoiv to Spell.
