their home in Cranfills Gap where
Mr. Bronstad was employed. This
“move” was made in a buggy.
The Rev. P. E. Thorson, who per-
formed the marriage ceremony in
1907, was present and spoke briefly
words of encouragement to the
“bride and groom.” He also, very
fittingly, spoke of the record of Mr.
and Mrs. C. O. Bronstad, Mr. C. G.
Bronstad’s parents, present at the
celebration, and now on their 56th
year of married life. Rev. O. T. Boe,
their present pastor, also spoke, and
wished the honorees many more
years of happiness and usefulness.
Greetings from a few others were al-
so expressed. And after all. accord-

line with the resolution adopted by
the state committee at Austin Sat-
urday and that state committeemen
have submtted names of 15 other
applicants for state and federal
places whom they consider “dis-loy-
al” to the party.
The color scheme of red and orange
was well carried out in the following

Creamed peas Pickled beets
Hot rolls
