Christi; KGNC, Amarillo; KRGV,
Weslaco. It will also be heard
on stations WRR and KRLD,

YULE TURKEYS
PRICED HIGHER
Christmas menu planners are
finding that a fat turkey hen now
costs 7c to 10c more a pound
than it did before Thanksgiving.
A 10-pound hen will mean an
outlay of $7 and $8, in Texas cit-
ies. And at that the supply is
none too good.
It was explained that many
growers had rushed their birds
to the Thanksgiving market be-
cause of runaway feed costs. Be-
fore that, many had whacked an-
nual hatchings as much as 50
per cent.
Turkey toms, usually sold at
weights of twenty to twenty
four pounds this year, were hust-
led to market soon after they
passed the 18-pound mark.

Mrs. Virnau, mother of the
groom, wore a black dress with
a pink carnation corsage.
The reception, which imme-
diately followed the ceremony,
was held at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph Bollinger, and was
given by Mesdames Ralph and
John Bollinger and Mrs. Boiles.
The bride’s table was laid with
a lace table cloth and held at
one end the tiered wedding cake,
which was embossed with roses
and topped by a miniature bride
and groom beneath an arch. The
bride’s bouquet was placed on
a mirror to form the centerpiece
and was flanked by candles in
crystal holders. Punch was ser-
ved from the other end of the
table. Chicken salad and cheese
sandwiches and fruit cakes com-
pleted the menu and _was served
from the buffet.
Mr. and Mrs. Virnau left af-
ter the reception for a brief wed-
ding trip, the bride traveling in
an original model suit of pale
blue lightweight wool, dark
brown accessories, and gray hat
and coat.
Both are graduates of Sealy
high school, the groom graduating

The home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
A. Virnau was the scene of the
marriage of their son, Harry Lee,
and Miss Joyce Nell Boiles, dau-
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Boiles, at eight o’clock on the
evening of Friday, December 19.
Rev. James L. Adkins performed
the single-ring ceremony before
a background of garden trellis
tacked with silvered pine and
entwined with greenery. Cand-
les in tall candlesticks provided
the illumination.
Miss Doris Boiles, sister of the
bride, played the wedding music
during the entire ceremony, and
Miss Ronita Harper sang, “Be-
cause”.
The bride, giyen in marriage
by her father, wore a gown of
white satin, styled with a fitted
bodice, bateau neck, and long
fitted sleeves terminating in
points over the hands. The bouf-
fant skirt was joined at the
waist with a tunic coming to a
point in back. Her floor-length
veil was held to her head in ban-
deau fashion, and she carried an
arm arrangement of white car-
nations, tied with a large satin
bow and streamers tied with
flowers. Her only jewelry was
a pair of pearl ear screws bor-
rowed from an aunt.
Maid of honor was Miss Mary
Jeanette Boiles, sister of the
bride. She wore a gown of pale
green brocaded taffeta and car-
ried a colonial bouquet of yel-
low carnations.
