CaKfomia Divorce
Ruling Is Blow At
'Quickie' Decrees
For the woman who’s handy with-her sewing machine, here are
three fashions to make to pattern. Dress (left) is in beautiful
brown acetate-and-rayon Summer fabric, is trimmed in white
buttons. Suit (center) is in acetate Jaille-type fabric with a slubbed
look. It’s shown here in gold flecked in hlack, belted in black
patent and with jet black buttons. Pastel pink dress (right) is in
acetate taffeta with crisp look, can take accessories in dark colors.
In each instance, the pattern is ideal for the fabric.
HOLLYWOOD (ID—A new Califor-

out of wedlock, too.
A laborer named Manuel Rosa
was found guilty recently in super-
ior court of bigamy — a felony—
for violating an untested 1949 state
law that poked holes in the B
"quickie” Nevada and Mexico di-
vorces. The law provides that a
hurried out-of-state divorce is il-
legal if you live in California for
12 months before the decree ind
return to the state within 18 months
afterwards.
And Rosa, the court ruled, had
gone direct from California to his
Las Vegas decree and then return-
ed a few weeks later to a honey-
moon cottage with a new wife in
California. The court gave labor- Q
er Rosa probation and forbid him
the wife who became his “ex" in
the w*ef who became his “ex” in
Nevada.
A driver arrested by the sheriff’s
department on charges of operat-
ing a car without a driver’s li-
cense was fined $23 including costs
on a plea of guilty before Justice
of the Peace M. C. Manroe Wed-
nesday.
Miss Sue Hawthorn, county HD
agent, and Milton B. Templeton,
county agent, returned home Wed-
nesday night after attending a Dis-
trict 7 meeting in San Angelo..

lan teacher, has been ill at her
home all of this week.

planting roses at her home, 106
West Alabama, late Wednesday
afternoon and sustained a broken
hip. She was taken to Young Med-
ical Center by a Cate-Spencer am-
bulance. She and her sister, Mrs.
J. L. Shepherd, live together at
the above address.
Mrs. Viola Daugherty is a pa-
tient in Sweetwater Hospital for
treatment of an asthmatic condi-
tion which became so severe while

lance. She was moved from her
home, 404 East Arkansas, to the
hospital early Wednesday morning
in a Patterson Ambulance.
