Even with a DRIVERS LICENSE
LAW, there will always be accidents.
Do you know over 1,000,000 people
were killed or injured in automobile
accidents last year? More than 36,000
were actually KILLED! What can you
do? Help the movement for FIRST
AID HIGHWAY STATIONS. Ap-
point yourself a committee of one to
speak or write to the Federal, State
and City authorities. The toll of hu-
man and animal lives each year would
challenge a war of nations. An emer-
gency kit may be the means of saving
a life. A moral traffic code of the
highways will also help to save, a life.
The Bible: "Thou shall not kill.”

big traits of character is "jealousy.”
Another is "love.”

Spring must be just around the cor-
ner, for I saw a pair of cardinals
(redbirds) light on the budding fig
tree. What a pictures for artistic in-
spiration—the new nile green leaves
and the splashings of red. I was thrill-
ed at the beauty of their colorful plum-
age and the exotic love call to his
mate and her cheery sequence. Again
last night in the moonlight I saw a

SAN ANTONIO
One of the most beautiful and im-
pressive * weddings of the season was
that of Miss Thelma Louise Sheff,
daughter of "Mr. and Mrs. Max Schgff
of San Antonio, to Melvin Allard
Lipsitz, son' of Mr. and Mrs. Louis
Lipsitz of Waco, which was solemniz-
ed at the Plaza Hotel on Sunday,
March 3,' at 7:30 o’clock.
An improvised altar at one end of
the ballroom was decorated in potted
palms aind tropical ferns, while tall
floor baskets held stately Celia lilies,
white cathedral tapers burned in
wrought iron candelabra®. Dr. Ephraim
Frisch an,d Rabbi David Tamarkin
read the impressive ceremony.
Preceding the entrance of the bridal
party Mrs. Roland Springal, pianist,
assisted by William Sinkin, violinist,
played nuptial music. Paul Racusin
sang "At Dawning” and "I Love You
Truly.” ■
The six ushers, Jack Alter, Joe Sa-
dowsky, Julius Racusin, Bernard Gold-
berg, Meyer Sheff and Walford Sa-
dovslcy entered first.
The brides attendants, Mrs. Dave
Gellman, as matron of honor, and
Gertrude Radinsky as maid of honor,
were gowned alike in delphinium blue
chiffon, knife pleated ruffles outling
the cowl capes. The same pleating
around the bottom of the skirts form
ed short trains. Small sailor hats of
matching chiffon with shoulder length
veils were worn. Both attendants car
ried fan shaped bouquets of talisman
roses tied with tulle bows.
The little flower girl, Shirley Louise
Lipsitz,' in ruffled white taffeta and
carrying a small colonial bouquet of
talisman roses preceded the bride.
The bride entered with her father
who gave her in marriage. She was
lovely in a monk’s robe of heavy ivory
bridal satin with a standing bateau col
lar, heavy ivory silk rope girlie ending
in long tassels and long train starting
from the knees. The long tulle veil fell
from a shirred cap and halo effect of
the same tulle. Her only ornament was
a clip of seed pearls. She carried a
sheath of Calls lillies tied with a satin
bow. As a touch of sentiment a hand-
kerchief carried by the groom’s moth-
er at her marriage, was carried by the
bride. , v
Bertram Lipsitz, brother of the
groom, served as best man and Aubrey
Sachs of Waco was groomsman.
Immediately after the ceremony a
reception was held. Mesdames Mayer
Rosenman, Charles Eidelberg, Sam
Radinsky and Bertram Lips it? presided
at the silver .coffee service.
The bridal cake, a beautiful con-
fection, was in the shape of an oblong
plaque, with a sheath of sugared Calla
lillies. Around the bottom of the cake
was a row of' sweetheart roses. Mes-
dames Max Poseman and Abe Rich-
book were in charge. Assisting in serv-
ing were Misses Clara Tartar, Vera
Sugarman,'Loraine Radinsky, Bea Gans
and Mrs. Harry Y<llen.
