Thursday at the First Presbyterian Church with Dr. Ralph 1 C. McAfee of Winter Park, former pastor of the church, officlating. A double ring ceremony was used. Attractive arrangements of greenery were combined with white flowers and lighted tapers to form the background for the wedding ceremony.

A large arrangement of white glads, shasta pompons and white mums was used on the altar with two floor baskets of greenery on either side. Seven-branch candelabra holding cathedral candles had bows of white ribbon combined with caladium leaves. White caladium leaves were used in the planters inside the church. Front pews were marked with bows of white satin and net. A program of nuptial music was played by Mrs.

Wendell Grier before the entrance of the wedding party. Walter Riddle, of Sebastian, soloist, sang "Because," and later in the ceremony while the bridal couple knelt at the altar, sang "The Lord's The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a floor-length gown of imported Chantilly lace over bridal satin, fashioned with a modified scoop neckline, etched with scalloped lace highlighted with sequins and seed pearls. The long tapered sleeves ended in points over her hands. Tiers of ruffled lace worn oven hoops formed the bouffant skirt which ended in a slight sweep. The Juliet cap which held her veil of French illusion in place was tastefully embroidered in sequins and seed pearls.

She carried a bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley centered with a white orchid. Serving as her maid of honor was Miss Faye Moses of Tampa, a college friend, who was gowned in a pink cocktall-length lace sheath over taffeta, the Empire bodice outlined with taffeta, culminating in a bow in the back, the streamers forming panels which fell to the hemline. Her accessories were pink carnations, tied with a matching satin bow. Bridesmaids were Miss Nancy Wingerter of Miami who wore pale green, and Miss Julie Conkling of Vero Beach who was gowned in yellow. Both bridesmaids dresses were identical in design with that worn by the maid-of-honor, and each carried a cascade bouquet of carnations to match her gown.

For her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Cox chose a gray Chantilly lace sheath gown with side panels of chiffon, a flower hat in tones of pink and pink accessories. Mrs. Gifford, mother of the bridegroom, wore a pale blue lace dress fu waltz-length, a matching bat and accessories. Both had corsages of pink hybrid vanda oreMilis.

Sundery, June $3, 1957 New County Fair Home Assured For the first time in its long history, establishment of a home for the County Fair has been assured and construction started on a per(manent exhibition installation at the Speedway location on SR 80, according to Lamar Allen, manager. Combining a bond issue of 000, gift of more than 100 acres of land from the county, acquisition of the Speedway property, and some matching funds from the state for construction, directors of Palm Beach County Expositions, have made several long strides toward estalishment of a modern County Fair plant. President W. A.

Boutwell announced that ground was broken June 10 for two exhibition buildings, each measuring 60 by 120 feet, to house 88 exhibition booths. Technical details of the $100,000 bond issue were being completed, with about half the issue already subscribed. At the state level, $30,000 of Coun ty Fair moneys were deposited to secure $20,000 of matching funds appropriated through the Dept. of Agriculture. The combined funds will be used for construction with the approval of L.

H. Lewis, director of state farmers markets in the Agriculture Dept. Deed to more than 100 acres of county land adjoining the Speedway property on the west was authorized by the County Commission May 28 after Fair officials had agreed to relinquish its tract in John Prince Memorial park, to make way for expansion of college facilities in that area. The County is also to move about 3,200 feet of chain link from the park location together with other movable facilities, including rest rooms, sewer and water equipment, garden layout land some cattle equipment. Riviera Summer SUMMER PLAYGROUND The summer playground, sponsored by the Palm Beach County School Board, opened Monday with 200 enrolled the first day, and a total of 276 enrolled through Thursday, Mrs.

Genevieve MeCullough, Riviera elementary principal, reported. The playground is held on the Elementary School grounds from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. week days, and will continue through July 26. Mrs.

McCullough stated that "children under school age should be enrolled by parents for selected hours only. And that children who live near the school and whose parents do not works should plan to go home for lunch." SWIMMING A group of 165 children were taken to the Causeway Tuesday for swimming. Mrs. McCullough stated that approximately 175 children are interested in taking swimming lessons, which will be held at the Mayflower pool. She reported that at least 15 volunteers are needed to transport the youngsters from the playground to the Mayflower.

Mrs. McCullough stated that unless the necessary transportation can be provided by parents, the swimming instruction project must be omitted from the summer program. LUNCHEON CLUB Darcy Snyder was elected president of the Luncheon Club. Other officers include: vice president, Gary Roland; er, Rosemary Karrmann. MOVIES Free movies tickets were provided by the local merchants for 202 children Wednesday at the Riviera Theater.

Free movies will be provided every Wednesday from 1 to 3 p.m., Mrs. McCullough asserted. ROCKET CLUB Glen Kerslake and Barbara Simon, Rosemary Karrmann and Bruce Lenois were the first members of the playground to receive 150 points for obedience, attendance and participation. The 150 points placed them on Venus, the first planet in the Rocket club. The youngster who makes his way through the nine planets and reaches the sun first will receive a prize, Mrs.

McCullough said. HANDICRAFT Glen Kerslake's plastic plane el model was judged the best of 22 models made by summer playground boys. The boys, under the direction of Don Whitmer, are currently engaged in a boat building project. Handicraft building materials were donated by the Kiwanis Club to the playground. Sponsors Seek Action In House On Hells Canyon House Appears Ready To Okay Ike's Aid Plan WASHINGTON, June 22 (UP)Despite a rampaging economy drive, the House today seemed ready to give President Eisenhower a major victory ou a key program--foreign aid.

The Chief Executive has asked for $3,864,410,000. Most of the money, $2,900,000,000, is earmarked for military hardware and defense support. The House Foreign Affairs Committee plans to complete its investigation of the administration request next week, then start approving the various items, one by one. The committee started taking testimony from military and civilian leaders a month ago today. The Senate recently completed action on an authorization bill by voting for an overall program to cost $3,617,333,000.

That was a cut of less than seven per cent. Congressional leaders doubt the House will approve a deeper cut. Lack of House controversy over the program is unusual. Informed sources explained it this way: Four independent groups made searching investigations of foreign aid and unanimously agreed the programs must be continued as long as Russia threatens the world. President Eisenhower has asked that a new emphasis be placed on aiding this country's allies economically through loans instead of outright gifts.

Eisenhower has also asked that military aid be included as part of the U. S. defense appropriation. The four investigations of foreign aid -by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a presidential commission headed by Benjamin Fairless, and a citizens commttee headed by Eric strong support to the argument that these are not "give programs. Abandonment of the programs, the groups said in effect, would endanger the independence of the free world, including the United States.

Shifting emphasis on economic aid through loans in place of gifts took steam out of the "give away" argument. The State Department has promised to lend the funds on a sound financial basis. Our Allies will be expected to repay them. Harden-Palm Vows Spoken In Church Rite RIVIERA BEACH--The Methodist Church, decorated with palms and baskets of white gladioli and lighted tapers, was the setting for the marriage of Miss Lenore Grace Palm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Richard Palm, 2940 Avenue F. Riviera Beach and Clark V. Harden, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theo Harden, 27 West 17th Riviera Beach, at 4 p.m.

Saturday, June 22. The Rev. Ben Ryder officiated and Mrs. Beryl Gamash was organist. Mrs.

Irvin Griffin, sister of the groom, in a gown of pale blue organdy with a matching floral headband and carrying a bouquet of pink carnations, was matron of honor. Miss Shirley Parramore and Miss Patricia Palm, cousin of the bride, with pale pink organdy gowns and headbands matching that of the matron of honor, were the bridesmaids. They carried bouquets of blue carnations. Richard Palm, brother of the bride, was Mr. Harden's best man and ushers were Bobby Bullard and Avon Pinder.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a gown of white lace fashioned with a fitted bodice and scooped neckline, her full skirt was ballerina length. Her fingertip illusion veil was attached to a tiara of pearls and sequins and she carried a bouof white carnations and tuberoses. A recption immediately followed the ceremony at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Griffin, 1238 South Harbor Riviera Beach.

Mrs. Palm, mother of the bride wore pastel blue sheath dress with white accessories and Mrs. Harden, the bridegroom's mother wore a pastel pink silk jeweled dress with matching accessories. They wore corsages of carnations. Mrs.

Harden attended Palm Beach High School and Mr. Harden was graduated from Palm Beach High School, 1955. He is employed by Rubin Construction Co. Following a honeymoon the couple will reside at 3020 Ave. Riviera Beach.

WASHINGTON, June 22 (UP)House sponsors of the Senate-approved Hells Canyon bill tried to change committee schedules today to pave the way for a House vote on the bill before Congress adjourns for the summer. Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore) a sponsor of the plan to authorize construction of a "high" dam at Hells Canyon on the Snake River in the Pacific northwest, said the "biggest hurdle at the moment" was arranging a timetable for committee action on it. The bill passed the Senate by a 45-38 vote Friday and next will be considered by a House interior subcommittee headed by Rep. Wayne N.

Aspinall (D-Colo). Aspinall said the first open dates on his crowded calendar are July 18 and 19. But he said he would "trade" with sponsors of other bills for earlier dates if he can. Ullman said the July 18-19 dates would "virtually eliminate" chanees of a House vote this session and that the sponsors were trying to arrange earlier hearings. "We're certainly going to do everything possible to get a vote this session," he added.

Administration leaders pledged a bitter fight to head off the bill. And even if it does get through it is likely to be vetoed by President Eisenhower. The measure would authorize 500 million dollars to build one high dam in the canyon. The administration already has authorized Idaho Power Co. to build three privately-owned low dams.

A major factor in Senate debate on the bill was a rapid tax writeoff benefit granted Idaho Power and then cancelled by the company in a surprise move on the eve of the Senate vote. House Republican whip Leslie C. Arends said, "'We intend to do everything possible" to defeat the bill. "If the economy attitude of the House means anything it should show itself in the consideration of this multi-million-dollar project," Arends said. "There is no sense in the federal government doing what private enterprise itself can do." Christina Leaves For Stockholm NEW YORK, June 22 (UP)Christina Wennerstrom, 16-year-old Swedish diplomat's daughter, left for Stockholm today weeping, clutching a teddy bear and vowing her love for the Senate page boy with whom she went on two week "honeymoon" without benefit of clergy.

Christina, accompanied by her mother, did not say a word to newsmen who saw her off at Idlewild International Airport. But she replied to their questions with vigorous nods of the head when they asked if she still loved her boy friend and if she still wanted to marry him. The girl ran off with Haw Wil(liams, 18. They were taken into custody in Pennsylvania Thursday on their return from Canada. Haw went home to his mother in Falls Church, and lost his Senate job.

Christina was taken in tow by her mother, Mrs. Stig Wennerstrom, who appeared to take a forgive and forget attitude toward her daughter's escapade. The mother and daughter arrived at the airport eight minutes before their plane departed. They were driven to the ramp by a friend, Joel Petterssen. "Relations between mother and daughter don't seem to be strained," Petterssen said.

Mrs. Wennerstrom would not say anything to newsmen, but she was smiling. Christina managed to smile through her tears as she hugged the same teddy bear she was carrying when she and Haw were found. She also wore a corsage but did not disclose whether it was Haw's parting gift to her. Arthur J.

Allen and Martin Whelan, local Kiwanians, made the presentation. FUTURE EVENTS A checker tournament will be held Friday as part of the regular Friday 1 tournaments. The first in the series was a marble tournaIment, WAF Contingent At PBAFB To Mark Ninth Anniversary By MARGARET BUHRMAN Post-Times Staff Completing nine years as an integral part of the USAF, the Women in the Air Force will observe their anniversary June 30. At Palm Beach Air Force Basel some 70 WAF on permanent assignment and from 20 to 30 students in the Flight Traffic School are being recognized with congratulatory gestures on the part of Base personnel and anniversary messages from top brass. Well-ensconced in the ranks of world travelers, women in Air Force blue are building a tradition of valuable service initiated by the earlier auxiliary corps.

Incorporation into the Air Force came with the Women's Armed Services Integration Act of 1948. Tentative plans at the local Air Force base include a dinner dance at the NCO Club, sponsored by all units on the base to which WAF personnel is assigned. Probable date for the event is June 25. WAF will also be honored by the NCO Club, and the 1707th Food Service Squadron is paring an anniversary cake for celebration of the WAF birthday. Men on the Base are not forgetting flowers.

The Officers' Club has already sent a bouquet, and another floral gift will be forthcoming from the entire Base personnel, S-Sgt. Charles C. Dockery, Office of Information Services, reports. Congratulatory messages have been issued by Secretary of the Air Force James Douglas; General Nathan Twining, Air Force Chief of Staff; and Col. Phyllis D.

S. Gray, WAF director. In announcing the anniversary, the Office of Information Services calls attention to the fact that during World War II a total of 40,000 Air WAC served with the Army Air Corps and the Army Air Forces. Total WAF personnel at present, on duty in the United States and abroad, numbers 8,600, including about 600 officers. Of 450-some jobs performed by the WAF in 30 career fields, some of the most colorful and interesting are closely connected with operations at Palm Beach Air Force Base.

Located here is the only Flight Traffic Specialist School. Much more glamorous in connotation than the technical designation would seem to indicate, the term Flight Traffic Specialist refers to the military counterpart of civilairline stewardess.

In a month's time a flight traffic specialist may make as many as three trips abroad to London, Paris, Frankfurt, or to the Azores, Bermuda, Panama, North Africa and the Near East. From the West to Hawaii, the Philippines, Alaska Coast their regular runs take them A and Japan.

Two weeks' instruction is given at the local base prior to probationary assignment for on-the-job training at one of four Air Force Bases: McGuire at Trenton, N.J.; McCord at Seattle, Charleston at Charleston, S. and Travis, Fairfield-Suisun, Calif. The local AFB also has the only WAF trained to operate a seferics machine by which thunderstorms are located in checking flight conditions. A-2C Carol Gunderson, whose training for the complicated operation took nearly 60 days, has been on this job about a month. Seferics, briefly, is static.

The machine operated by Airman derson records static on film, transferring flashes similar to radar onto a screen. By counting the flashes on the film she can determine whether thunderstorms are in the area, disturbances being indicated by more than the normal number of static flashes. There are two seferics networks, the Office of Information Services explains. One is located in the midwest for the purpose of pinpointing and tracing tornados. The other is the Atlantic Seferics Network established during World War II and now operated by the 9th Weather Group at Andrews AFB with stations at Lajes, Bermuda, Newfoundland and Palm Beach AFB.

Base personnel also point with pride to A-2C Pat Williams who has been chosen to participate in the all-airman show "Tops in Blue," tentatively booked for an eight-month worldwide tour, July 25 March 2.

Her novelty act consists of voice mimics of famous singers, including April Stevens, Kay Starr, Jo Stafford and Eartha Kitt. About 25 male and WAF airmen are selected for the show's troupe. Airman Williams' duty at the local Base is operating the switchboard at Bachelor Officers' Quarters.

WAF stationed here include nur- ses, dental assistants, teletype operators, clerks, personnel specialists and about a dozen weather technicians in addition to those performing duties mentioned above. Practically all opportunities open to men in the Air Force are also available to WAF with the exception of most hazardous jobs and those involving heavy lifting.
