CHRISTMAS-
(Continued from Page 2)
Thursday to spend the holidays
with her daughter and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Koonce
and children in Whatyon. They
will be joined New Year’s Day
by their son and brother,
Wayne Power and family of
Dallas. Mrs. Power’s younger
son, Benjamin, is serving with
the U.S. Navy and he and his
wife will be spending the
holidays in the Philippines
Islands.
Mrs. Mary Boggus and her
daughter Mrs. Theda Welch
will join her members of the
Boggus family in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Welch Jr.
in Corpus Christi on Christmas
Eve for an exchange of gifts
and a dinner. The host will
come up Christmas Eve and
take his mother and grand-
smother down for the family
who is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lino De Leon of Sinton.
The marriage ceremony was
performed at 1 p.m. Monday
Dec. 18 in Sinton with Justice of
Peace Raul Gonzales reading
the double-ring ceremony.
The couple was attended by
Miss Chris Vargas of Odem
and Hector Espinosa of Corpus
Christi.
Others present for the
ceremony were the respective
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Adamez
and Mr. and Mrs. De Leon.
The bride is a junior in Odem
High School and her husband is
a graduate of Sinton High
School and attended A&I
University. They will make
their home in Houston.
The trouble with being
punctual is that people think
you have nothing more im-
portant to do.
The modern husband
believes that a woman’s place
is in the home, and he expects
her to go there immediately
after work.

We wish our fine friends a very
Merry Christmas. Let us all know
the joys of this most holy season.

with the Rev. Dudley Bazar,
pastor of First United
Methodist Church officiating.
Parents of the couple are Mr.
and Mrs. James Earl Gillespie
of Odem and Mr. and Mrs.
George C. Moore Jr., of
Kingsville.
An arrangement of can-
delabra entwined with
greenery in a combined
rainbow and spiral effect
formed the backdrop for the
wedding service.
Mrs. Douglas Smith was at
the organ to give a program of
traditional bridal music and to
play the wedding marches.
The bride, who was given in
marriage by her father, chose
an organza gown in Victorian
design with a high neck and
long full sleeves. Venise lace in
a floral pattern covered the
collar and outlined the yoke
effect of the bodice. Matching
lace formed the deep cuffs of
the sleeves and accented the
waist. A lace flounce bordered
the hem of the skirt. Her tiered
veil of illusion fell from a
caplet of Venise lace accented
with jewels over ribbon.
The bridal bouquet was a
cascade of large white orchids
with streamers of white ribbon.
Mrs. Ted Tower served as
matron of honor and Miss
Peggy Lee Curbow, niece of the
groom was maid of honor. And
the bridesmaid was Mrs.
Jimmy Gillespie, sister-in-law
of the bride.
The attendants wore iden-
tical formal frocks designed
with empire waists and purple
velvet boleros. They each
carried a bouquet of lavender
mums interspersed with baby
breath.
George E. Moore of
Kingsville, brother of the
groom, acted as best man.
James E. Gillespie Jr., brother
of the bride, and Ted Towers
served as groomsmen, Charles
Schibi and James E. Gillespie
ushered and served as can-
dlelighters. Kelly Dan Cur-
bow, nephew of the groom, was
ringbearer.
A reception was held in the
church fellowship hall
following the ceremony. The
table was laid with a white lace
cloth and centered with an
arrangement of white roses
and mums encircling cathedral
tapers burning in a silver
candelabra.
The white five-tier cake was
decorated with spun-sugar
orchids and topped with white
wedding bells and cherubims.
Those in the house party
included Mrs. George Moore,
sister-in-law of the groom.
Mrs. Gene McWhorter, Miss
Kathy Stein, Miss Diane
Hominick, Mrs. Lee Horn Mrs.

home in Kingsville following a

destination.
For traveling the bride is

highlighted by a white orchid
from her bridal bouquet.
Did you know that the
first Christmas stocking
was first hung in either
France or Belgium!
Did you know that mis-
tletoe was used centuries
ago to ward off witches
and now it is used to lure
a kiss!
