Miss Nicholson Becomes Bride Of Donald Riggs Before a flower-decked altar and in the soft glow of lighted candles Miss Lois Virginia Nicholson, and Mrs. Joseph T. Nicholson, last evening became the bride of Mr. Donald Warren Riggs at the Northern Light Pres- byterian church. The double ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. Willis R. Booth. Preceding the ceremony Richard Folta lighted the candles and Mrs. Louis D. Rainery sang two solos, “I Love Thee,” and “At Dawning,” accompanied by Mrs. Carol Davis at the organ. Schuman’s “Traumeuri” was played during the ceremony at the request of the bride. Preceded by her matron-of-hon- r, Mrs. Louis D. Rainery, the bride entered the church to the strains of the wedding march, on the arm of her father. The bride’s gown was of white Chantilly lace over white satin, ballarina length, with scalloped hemline, fitted bodice, wide neck- line and puffed sleeves. She wore matching lace mitts tapering to a point above the fingertips and a cap of matching lace trimmed with shirred net and twisted strands of seed pearl. Her veil was finger-tip length of illusion net. The bride carried a white Rain- kow Girl's Bible with floral book- mark of Lily of the Valley on white portance of having the names of koth husband and wife on the roil! of tax payers was emphasized 1n= order to insure eligibility for votlng‘ at such an election. Mrs. Alice Thokne, local artist' land active member and exhibitor at the Alaskan Arts and Crafts |Incorpomted, was the principal i speaker of the day and expressed | {ner appreciation of the ,work of the JWC which she called ‘the mother club of the Arts and Crafts, later made an independent organ- ization which has grown and made its influence felt in other parts of the Territory. Mrs. Thorne spoke Interestingly of the special Native heritage and its preservation, and the original work and creative ability which has been manifested in the exhibits. What has been steadily and in- creasingly emphasized for the ex- hibits is originality in concept or media, and the Seventh Annual ¢ Exhibit of the Arts and Crafts was |oumandmg in this respect, it was felt. The speaker suggested that any- one with a creative urge start now to put it to work, using Alaska ma- terials, if possible. “The reward is great,” she said, “when the work is your very own.” A small exhibit of art work served to illustrate original work and or- iginal designs. The informal dis- cussion which followed brought out the fact that industry and persev- erance, rather than recognized tal- ent, had prompted much of the work done by exhibitors, according to their own testimony. KASILOF MAN T0 SEATTLE ON BUSINESS TRIP Alexander - Shadura, of Kasilof, Alaska, arrived in Juneau Thurs- day via, Pacific Northern Airlines en route to Seattle. Shadura is a son of the Very Rev.

Her only adorn- ment was a string of pearls, a gift the groom. The matron-of-honor wore a dress of lavender Organdy over |pink taffeta, similar to that of the bride, and long pink gloves, 1| pink headdress and pink slippers. Her bouquet was of pink carnations with pink streamers. t the altar the bride was joined by the groom and his best man, Mr. Louis Rainery. She was given in marriage by her father. Mr. Douglas Gregg and Mr. William Lund were ushers. Following the wedding ceremony a reception was held at Scottish Riie Temple from 8:30 to 10:30 STORY OF GREAT SPORTSMAN COMES 10 20TH CENTURY/ Opening tonight at the 20th Cen- tury Theatre is a new kind of a movie but one which will appeal to young and old, man and woman with sporting blood in their makeup. This feature is “The Jackie Robin- on Story.” his is the story of a great sports- man — Jackie Robinson,'who made | his spectacular climb to the top the | hard way — the American way — | with a bat, a ball and glove. The| picture which stars the top-notch | second baseman himself shows how | the four-letter athlete of UCLA | stepped into the world of profes-| ional sports and how, with the help i of his friends, overcame almost un-| urmountable odds, went on to break | record after record, culminating in his being named the Most Valuable | Player in the National League. It shows how his wife (Ruby Dee) | inspired him to continue when the | going got tough and he was ready to call it quits. It shows how Branch Rickey (Minor Watson) president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, | had enough confidence in Jackie is a fine ball player to be dissuaded ; )y any threats of racial prejudice. | I And best of all, “The Jackie Rob- | nson Story” shows Jackie at his best — on the ball field — running, sliding, stealing in the form that has made him the nation’s number e sports figure. WELFARE BOARD MAKES REPORT ON RECENT MEETING The Board of Public Welfare held a four-day session in Juneau starting April 10th, and completing the agenda on April 13th. The Board consists of Reverend G. Edgar Gallant, First Division, Mrs. | Frances Longley, Second Division, | Trs. Evangeline Atwood, Third Di- vision, and Mr. Ivar Skarland, ¥ourth Division. Father Gallant wos clected Chairman for the meet- ings. Changes in regulations in the Aid to Dependent Children law in- sreased the maximum grant from $50.00 for the relative and flrsL child to $60.00, and from $25.00 for | each additional child to '$30.00. Changes in this legislation make it possible to xpc]ude children from 16 to 18 years of age who are regu- arly attending school. The only regulation affecting the Old Age Assistance program was the inclusion of non-citizens who had resided in the Territory since 1935. The Board's requested appropri- ation for the General Relief pro- gram was $660,000.00. The Legisla- ture, however, appropriated $450,00000, and at the same time increased the legal monthly maxi- mum from $30.00 to $60.00 per per- son. The Board made a complete study of this program in order to adopt restrictive regulations so that the appropriation could be stretched out over the coming bi- ennium. The Board recommended clarifi- cation con the General Relief pro- | gram as they felt that the public was under the impression that General Relief provides for people only subsistence needs (food, shel- with Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson re- ceiving the guests. Mrs. Nicholson “|wore a full length dress of mauve chiffon with lace top to match and a corsage of pink carnations. The bride’s table was centered by a three-tiered heart-shaped wed- ding cake topped with a tiny lady’s slipper containing two wedding rings. The table was spread with a white cloth, lavender and pink flowers set at each corner. Lighted white tapers were set in double silver candelabra and were dec ated with pink and lavender sprays. The wedding /cake was cut by Mrs. George W. Folta. Pouring were Mrs. Hugh Stoddart, Mrs. James Ryan, Mrs. John Parmenter,| Miss Olive Trower and Mrs. Evelyn Kelly. Mrs. Fred Henning and Mrs. Douglas Gregg presided at the punch bowl. Mrs. Willis Booth and Miss Anne Warner had charge of the guest book and Miss Joyce Hope assisted in serving. Mrs. Riggs was born in Meet- eetse, Wyoming, and graduated from Juneau high school in 1047. She attended Stanford University for two years and Central Wash- ington College in Ellensburg, Wash~ ington for one year. Mr. Riggs is a graduate of Mu- nicipal University of Wichita, Kan- sas. He is the son of Mrs. Clara Riggs of Winfield, Kansas. Coming to Alaska two years ago he has been director of physical education in Petersburg since that time. ‘The young couple will make their home in Petersburg. / FROM SEATTLE Aubrey Davis, Jr. of Seattle ar- rived here yesterday and is at the Baranof Hotel.

Harmon, Director, reported® that 65 persons at the present time were being cared for in hospitals through out the Territory at a tremendous cost to the General Relief program. Preliminary - plans and policies were set up for the new Aid to the Blind program, effective September 1, 1951. Services for children were given a great deal of consideration during the Board meeting. Plans for care and treatment of children committed under the Ter- ritory's Juvenile Code, and the re- sponsibilities of parents to pay for the support and care of child- ren were two of the important matters given consideration. The Legislative action in appropriating $20,000 for the establishment of re- ceiving homes was viewed with a great deal of satisfaction, as it would be possible to provide good temporary placement facilities for children, thus avoiding the housing of children in jails. ‘The next meeting of the Board will be held during the month of October 1951. HOSPITAL NOTES Admitted to St. Ann’s hospital Friday were John R. Kinghorn, G. Stromme and Mrs. Tom Radonich.

The drive will begin in Juneau| April 25. Why is cancer singled cut for such an intensive attack ir which | physicians, researchers and the | public unite? Because so many | thousands of lives—perhaps half of | those who develop the disease—can | {be saved. Cancer is a disease of the cells. It occurs when for reasons not en- tirely understood, cells throw off normal rules of behavior and be- gin to act like gangsters. Instead of being useful working citizens of the body they devote their energy to growth, and they steal the food of normal cells. The 1951 Cancer Crusade of the American Cancer Society seeks funds to combat this outlaw dis- ease. Your dollars help guard your family. Strike back! Give to con- quer cancer. | | ® e 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TIDE TABLE April 22 1:41 am. 8:11 am. 2:26 p.m. 8:16 p.m. April 23 2:19 a.m. 8:53 a.m. High tide Low tide High tide Low tide 194 ft. -3.6 ft. 17.1 ft. 0.8 ft. 19.6 ft. -39 ft.

H. Baltzo yard at Fritz Cove. The story stated that although the Baltzo family found Silvester a ready pet, nimrods on The Em- pire had other designs come hunt- ing season. 3 Friday morning the two Baltzo children went out in the yard to feed Silvester his breakfast of dog mea] mash. But Silvester wasn't having any., He craned hiss neck, flapped his wings and took off into the wild blue yonder, broken leg and battle scars forgotten. The Baltzo children are in tears over loss of their pal. Empire nim- rods are chagrined over loss of an easy-to-get goose dinner, all of which illustrates the Einstein theory in simplest form. g Now The Empire goose dinner will have to be gotten the hard way — getting double pneumonia behind a blind on Eagle river. Moral of the story is: It pays to read The Empire. ATTENTION MASONS Stated Communication of Mt. Juneau Lodge Monday evening at 7:30 with Labor in the F. C. Degree. J. W.
