Celebrate Golden Wedding
Anniversary April 14
Sunday, April 14, Mr and Mrs.
G. Jefferson Young of Reynolds,
celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary with an open house to
about 300 of their friends. The
house was unusually lovely, being
decorated with a profusion of
flowers, gifts of friends.
The dining table was overlaid
with a fine lace tablecloth. The
centerpiece was an arrangement of
yellow iris and lemon lilies. This
was flanked by crystal candle
holders with yellow tapers. At one
end of the table was placed the
three tiered wedding cake, which
was decorated in white and gold.
The guests were greeted at the
door by Mrs. Frances Young
Nichols and in turn were presented
to the honorees of the occasion,
Mr. and Mrs. Young. Mrs. Gray
Hicks invited them into the din
ing room, where they were served
delicious sandwiches, punch and
cake by Mrs Howard Fulton and
Miss v Jennie Alice Young. Also as
sisting in serving were Mrs. Susie
McCrary and Mrs. George Young.
During the afternoon the guests
admired many beautiful gifts on
display in the sun porch.
Mrs. Young wore an afternoon
dress of a soft shade of blue. Her
corsage was of yellow roses. Mrs.
Nichols was gowned in dusty pink.
Mrs. Hicks had on a dress of
acquamarine silk jersey, while
Mrs. Fulton wore a light green
printed silk. Miss Young had on a
costume of pale blue with accents
of pink. Mrs. McCrary and Mrs
George Young both chose alice
blue silks. Mrs. Kinsman was at
tired in a dress of sea green. All
wore corsages of sweetheart roses.
During the afternoon a musical
program was rendered. Miss Jennie
Alice Young sang “I Love You
Truly.” Miss Martha Jo Byrd
sang “Oh, Promise Me.” Miss
Young and Mrs. Fulton sang “Put
on Your Old Gray Bonnet.” Mrs.
Young’s daughters sang “A Beau
tiful Lady in Blue,” one of Mrs.
Young’s favorite songs.
As the guests left, they signed
the guest book, which was pro-
• tided over by Mrs. J. Murray Kins
man. The beautiful day and the
pleasure of renewing old friend
ships made the guests reluctant to
leave, and many groups were
gathered about the spacious lawn.

SPENCE TELLS TROOPERS
TO “CEASE FIRING" ON
AUTO TAG VIOLATORS
Maj. Wm. E. Spence, director of
the department of public safety,
has notified troopers to stop mak
ing cases against all tag violator*
until further notice.
This order came after the state
automobile tag division ran out rM
tags and faced a stack of 40,00 ap
plications it cannot fill at this
time. According to Director JncuA.
Latimer of the tag division, the
shortage is a result of the steel
strike.
The last day for procuring tags
was officially April 1, but troopers
did not start making cases until
several days later.
“There's no telling how many
people will be arrested in the day
or so it will take to notify local
and county officers,” Maj Spence
said.
