Surrounded by British men and women serving their country over- seas, an R. A. F. squadron leader today took as his bride § member of the Women's Royal Naval Service. Half the congregation gathered in Bt. John’s Church at Lafayette Square were in the uniform of their services for the marriage of Squad- ron Leader Stafford P. Coulson, 25, and Miss Phylis Mary Webber, 25- year-old “wren.” Since both families were on the other side of the Atlantic, the bride was given in marriage by Rear Ad- | miral J. W. Dorling. The bride wore & rust-colored, street-length jersey dress with matching hat and a corsage of or- chids. The groom was in the uni- form of the R. A. F. Met on Trip to America. Squadron Leader Coulson and Miss Webber met on a 10-day pas- sage from England to America last June. Until last night, when the | bridegroom arrived from the R. A. F. fighter pilot training station at Debert, Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he is stationed, the couple had seen each other only three times since the boat trip. Although the families were not at the wedding, they have met. After the engagement was an- nounced at Christraas time, his | family at Wincanton, Somerset, vis- ited with her family at Portsmouth, England. The two ushers weer both com- mamnders attached to the British | g, Admiralty here. As they waited for the bride to arrive at the chureh, one advised the other: “The bride goes up the port side G S T T et T '/ and comes down the starboard side of the church.” Reception Is Held. After the wedding a reception was held at the home of Miss Webber, which she shares with three other “wrens” at 2627 O street N.-W, The bride and her pilot husband had been granted a fortnight’s leave which they will spend in Virginia. After that they are due for an- other separation, which they hope will be temporary. The bridegroom must go back to Debert while the bride returns to her naval commu- nicatlons job with the British Ad- miralty. They are hoping one will get a transfer to the other’s sta- tion. Officiating at the ceremony was the Rev. John G. Magee, while Richard C. Griffiths of the British Admiralty delegation was best man and Miss Dorothy Macllwaine, a wren, was maid of honor. Pocketbook Snatcher Picks Wrong Spot A 21-year-old Culpeper (Va.) man picked the wrong place to snatch a pocketbook last night. Shortly before 8 o'clock, Policeman Percy G. Mangun, directing traffic at Fourteenth and F streets N.W., heard a commotion at the northeast corner of the intersection and saw a | young man running across F street. The policeman grabbed him. Police said the youth had a pocketbook, containing $4.58, belonging to Edna Ramsey of Marietta, Pa. There’s a town in Arkansas named Raspberry. ~ A_Jeservin g OF A FINER GIFT Ohe of the most important days.in their lives— GRADUATION DAY.

Many Other Arficles “Essential’ Civilian Goods Containing Product Will Be Cut 75 Per Cent The War Production Board to- day prohibited the use of crude rubber or latex after February 1 for the manufacture of girdles or other foundation garments, golf and tennis balls, erasers, bath- ing sults and caps, lawn and garden hose and hundreds of other common household items. Extending already strict Govern- ment control over the rubber in- dustry, the board made public a long list of “essential” products which may be manufactured; estab- lished production quotas for each class of products, and directed that use of crude rubber for a wide variety of tial” civilian goods be reduced about 75 per cent below recent annual consumption. Only Reclalmed Rubber. After PFebruary 1, the order stipulated, all products not on the list may be manufactured only from reclaimed rubber. Reclaimed rubber, experts say, cannot be used satisfactorily in material which is subject to recur- Tent stretching, such as girdles. After & few stretches, it doesn’t bounce back into shape. Since last December 19, when the Government halted production of all non-essential goods pending a de- talled study of the rubber shortage, the industry’s output has been sub- Ject to general limitations. The new W. P. B. order tells the industry exactly what it can and can’t make and how much of it. Specific permission must be ob- tained from the board before crude rubber or latex can be used to make tires or tubes, retreading material, insulating compounds, jar rings and other items. Further, W. P. B. may at any time change specifications of all products on the approved list to r“flce the amount of crude rubber There are no *“rookie” dollars, Send yours to the front.
