MISS NYE BRIDE
OF CLAYTON J. STEELE.
In a beautiful candlelight setting in
the First Baptist church, of Trion, in
the late afternoon of Feb. 24, the wed
ding of Miss Billie Jean Nye, a teacher
in the Trion school, and Clayton J.
Steele, an employe of the Trion com
pany, was performed by the Rev. E. B.
Shivers, pastor of the church, using the
ring ceremony.
The altar setting, composed of a light
ed, white-latticed, arched gateway, was
entwined with fern and sweetpeas. To
each side, tall seven-branched candela
bras, holding white burning tapers, cast
a soft glow over tall baskets of salmon
pink gladiolas and fem. Azaleas
also used at intervals in the setting.
Preceding the ceremony, Miss Doris
Staley, a teacher also in the Trion school,
sang ‘Because,’ “D’Hardelot’ and ‘O
Promise Me,’ ‘De Koven,’ accompanied
by Mrs. Sadd Dalton, church pianist.
The wedding party entered to the
strains of “The March of the Flower
Girls” by Paul Wachs, played by Mrs.
Dalton.
The groom and his best man, his fath
er, Charles Steele, of Southport, Conn.,
walked opposite aisles from the bride,
and her mother, Mrs. E. H. Bishop, of
Amory, Miss., who was her daughter’s
only attendant.
Mrs. Dalton played during the cere
mony Schubert’s ‘Serenade’ and used
MacDowell’s ‘To a Wild Rose’ as a re
cessional.
Mrs. Bishop wore teal blue crepe with
a spring modeled hat, and shoulder cor
sage of sweetpeas and snapdragons.
Mrs. Steele, mother of the groom, wore
a navy blue triple-sheer, finger maid mod
el over navy taffeta. Her corsage was
sweetpeas and snapdragons..
The bride wore a rusty pink wool
crepe suit with close-fitted suede coat
and pink felt spring modeled hat. Her ac
cessories were navy and shoulder cor
sage, violets. '
She came to us two years ago from
Amory, Miss., as primary teacher in the
grammar school at Trion. She received
her education in the Mississippi schools
and Oklahoma Baptist university, Shaw
nee, Okla., where she was a member of
the Yathian club. She is an only daugh
ter of Mrs. Bishop by a former marriage.
B. B. Nye, of Amory, is her only bro
ther.
Mr. Steele, an only child of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Steele, of Southport, Conn.,
came to us, also, about two years ago,
and lias been an efficient employe of the
Trion company. He was educated in the
Connecticut schools and Taylor univer
sity, of Upland, Ind., where he was a
member of the Thalo fraternity.
After the ceremony, the bridal couple
left immediately for a short trip South,
after which they will be at home at the
Trion inn, in Trion, where they both
have been very active in church and
school activities.
Among those out of town attending
the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Steele, of Southport, Conn.; Mrs. E. 11.
Bishop and son, B. B. Nye, of Amory,
Miss.
ROBINSON-MAHAN.
Miss Clara Robinson and O. C. Mahan,
Jr., were married Saturday afternoon,
Feb. 11, at 5 o’clock at the home of the
bride. The Rev. J. W. Parker officiated
in the presence of the members of the
family, and Elizabeth Scott, of Gore.
Carlton Wade, of Summerville, acted a:
best man, and Miss Mildred Perry, of
Armuchee, as bride’s maid.
The bride is the only daughter of Mrs.
Ada V. Robinson, of Gore, and the late
J. E. Robinson. She is a very attractive
young lady of sterling character.
The groom is a splendid type of young
manhood. He is the second son of O. C.
Mahan, Sr., of Summerville, and the
nephew of the Rev. A. F. Mahan, of
Knoxville, Tenn. He holds a position with
the Summerville Cash store.
After the ceremony the bride and groom
left for Chattanooga, where they were
the guests of the bride’s brother, and his
family, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Robinson.
The bride was beautiful in a lovely
gown of aqua crepe and lace, with beige
and luggage tan accessories.
After a short bridal trip, Mr. and
Mrs. Mahan will be at home with the
bride’s mother.
A host of friends and relatives wish
them a long life of happiness.

COMMUNISM, NAZIISM, FASCISM. 1
When Hitler talks about a world the- ’
ory, he means us I says Melvin Jones,
secretary-general of Lions International 1
in a pointed article featured in the March
issue of the Lions magazine, just issued.
The Lions association is conducting a ‘
campaign to expose the aims of coin
munism, naziism and fascism, and
strengthen democratic conceptions in the ,
In the March issue of the Lion Maga- 1
United States and Canada,
zine, Mr. Jones quotes a section from
Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” in which the ’
German fuehrer states his intentions re- ’
garding his “world theory” for naziism.
“A world theory is intolerant and is
not content with being one party among
a number of other parties,” writes Hit
ler in his book. Mr. Jones, in his article,
states that the whole tone of Hitler’s
chapter on ‘World theory and organiza
tion’ proves that Hitler has ideas of
spreading naziism to all countries of the
world. ‘The nazis have embraced the two
major methods of spreading a doctrine,’
writes Mr. Jones. “They have backed the
work of their paid agents with the threat
c ntained in a vast military establish
ment. We have seen the combination
work when Hitler’s world theory march
ed into Austria, bludgeoned its way in
Czechoslovakia, and split Spain.”
“From his writing,” states Mr. Jones,
“it appears that Hitler intends no quar
c r for ideas in conflict with his. He corn
els absolute unity behind his banner.
He forces it’ by purges if necessary. No

COMPETENT AND REASONABLE
CONTRACTORS.
This firm located in Rome at 1412 N.
Broad, is known over this section for
their modern principles and straightfor
ward business methods. They are well
equipped and well qualified to handle the
largest or smallest building contract and
the reputation they have established for
satisfaction in each and every transac
tion is the secret of their well-establish
ed and progressive business. They feature
general contracting, building and repair
ing and give the same painstaking atten
tion to the management of small build
ings as they do to large ones, realizing
that the small job with its narrow mar
gin of profit needs all the care that years
of managing experience has taught them
how to give.
This organization is such that there is
no limit to the amount of work they can
handle. With a flexible organization and
a large one they are prepared to take
hold of anything from a tiny garage to
a modern building and almost any num- j
ber of them. Nor are their activities con- j
fined to their home city for they do a j
large business throughout this section for
many miles around.

HOLLYWOOD INFLUENCE
The Manchester Guardian vouches

have to tell you again.”
“O. K., Babv,” was the childs reply. I

one is permitted to be out of step in
Germany.”
Mr. Jones elaborates further on this
question, and contends that Hitler is an
tagonistic to democracies because his own |
theory of government cannot exist in fair
competition with democratic principles. [
Naziism, therefore, used force and coer- !
cion to drive its own supporters into l
line, and misses no chance to contribute
to the downfall of the democratic idea,
which it considers dangerous to its own
existence.
“On merit alone,” writes Mr. Jones,
“democracy will eventually win the sup
port of all men. Therefore, the nazi plan
is to eliminate it. If democracy does not
exist in the world, it cannot be a danger l
to naziism.”
Contending that the loose structure of (
democracies, which gives us all so much
personal freedom, forms an easy target
for propaganda against democracy. Mr. |
Jones urges that Americans and Canadi- >
ans place their patriotism above their
politics and present to outsiders a unity
of national purpose to resist the en
croachments of ‘world theories’ that are
backed by machine guns and bombs.

Lieut. Lewellyn said he and Rosenthal
were flying to Jacksonville from Bowman
field, Louisville, where they were sta
tioned. Engine trouble developed a few
miles north of here while they were up
some 1,00 to 1,500 feet, he said, and the
ship steadly lost altitude.
He turned around and saw Rosenthal
starting to jump. The lieutenant went
over the side and landed in a treetop near
Bolingbroke, a village about fiften miles
to the north of Macon. He said he lost
sight of Rosenthal during the jump. The
sergeant’s parachute opened, but appar
ently too late to break his fall.
