Scottist Scottish Rite Temple ONLY PUBLIC i PARKING Three Greyhound busses filled with Shriners and their families parked in the taxi stands at the corner of Southard and Duval streets yesterday. Though per- mission to park in this area had been granted by the City Com- mission, taxi drivers insist that such permission is flagrant “favoritism” and political man- } euvering and should be with- drawn, Frank Benavidas who has op- erated a taxi from the Duval street site for three years said: “We're going to get together and fight for our rights. The busses come in and take up all of our space and the police even claim out of the way, “Why,” he continued. “Those | busses are unloading passenger | from the left side, the flow of traffic. | is against the law.” | Argues With Shriner Unfortunately, Benavidas al. expended his anger on Shriner | H. C. Boehm of Springfield, Mo leader of the Shriner tour Boehm naturally did not know This in itself the local situation. He angrily snapped back that if the taxi driver wanted to complain, he should do so to the bus company and not to its passengers. “If you don’t want tourist to visit your town. you are pick- ing the best way to go about driving them out forever.” add- | ed Boehm. Driver of one of the Greyh busses became involved in argument when he told Benavidas to stop his abuse “or else.” Storeowners Questioned by porter, some Paul Sher Ow rect { a je they will arrest us if we don’t get | directly into | (Continued From Page One) made to oppose the dog track and was voted on instantly, with all op- posed, save those who wanted the | vote next week The most active JayCee mem- bers, 26 of them were on hand to vote | Official opposition to the track, | is just the first step, Ketchings said.

Ralph Rogers End Bible School Tomorrow Night The Daily Vacation Bible School at the First Presbyterian Church is finishing their two week session. for the benefit of the parents Fri- day evening at 7:30 p.m. in the church, Mrs. Robert Wheeler, the Direct- or of the School, is very well pleased with the attendance this year. She said that the average at- |tendance has been exceedingly |high which shows the children \have been interested in the pro- gram arranged for them. Mrs. Wheeler is the daughter of a minister. Her father, the Rev. A. E.'Katterjohn, has been pastor of the Wright City, Missouri Evange- lical and Reformed Church for more than thirty years. From her home life she has become familiar with church work and has ably di- rected the work of the school this year. During the last World War she served in the Army as a Nurse, and meet man whom she married. Mr. Wheeler is with the Westinghouse Project here at the Navy Yard and they live at Sigs- bee Park. They have two children, Richard nine, and Barbara four. Assisting Mrs. Wheeler in the Be- ginner’s Department is Mrs. Ro- bert Lambeth. Mrs, Lambeth is the wife of a Navy man. She was born in Tampa but moved with her fam- ily to Miami where she spent her childhood days and later helped in entertaining the Navy personnel. Mrs. Lambeth is interested in the training of children and is a mem- ber of the PTA Council as well as a Room Mother at the Truman School. She has assisting her in her Department a staff of efficient teachers, They include- Mrs, B. H. Scruggs, Mrs, Emory Harris, Mrs. W. J. Looper, Mrs. R. H. Byers, Mrs. E, Nonnemacker, Mrs. Wal- ter Price, Mrs. J. Blair, Mrs. E. T. Woodson, Mrs. Paul Roberts, Jr. Miss Shirley Papy. Assisting Mrs, Wheeler in the Primary Department is Mrs. Ruth Haller, Mrs, Haller is also the wife of a Navy man and has been most active in church work. She is the Superintendent of the Primary Department of the Sunday School and during the summer school is perfectly at home with the chil- dren of her Department.

She has been most inter- ested in Girl Scouts and finds it in line with her church work since both contribute greatly to the de- | velopment of Christian character, A very important part of the suc- cess of the church school is often some little thing unnoticed. The children think it is most important each day when about ten o’clock they assemble for cold drinks and cookies. Mrs. James Gamble and Mrs. Joseph Brent have seen to it that the youngsters have had their refreshments each morning. Look- ing after some of the little tots so that their mothers could teach, has been Mrs. Alvin Moss who has proven most entertaining to the youngsters and helpful to the moth- ers. The whole school has worked smoothly as a team and the chil- dren seem especially to like the program this year.

He said they did obey seizure. The conference was largely po- litical and produced at least a nod in the direction of Averell Harriman, one of the Democratic Presidential hopefuls, Mr. Truman said Harriman’s victory in the Dis- trict of Columbia primary Tuesday couldn't be anything else than! what a report:: termed a “clear- cut victory for the New Deal-Fair deal.” But Mr. Truman repeated that | he doesn’t intend to express him- | self on a Democratic candidate | until the national convention meets | and probably not until after the nomination is made. On other subjects Mr. Truman had this to say: Reorganization — His proposals to put postmasters, U. S. marshals | and cus* ms officials under Civil | Service, rejected Wednesday by | the Senate, should have been al-| lowed to stand, Civil rights — The speech he made at Howard University, in which he went all-out for civil rights, reflects his views as to what the Democratic Party plat- bel should contain on that sub- War — There is no new note of urgency to be detected in his warn- ings about new Koreas, anti-air- craft defenses and statements that the international situation is very serious, MacArthur — The Army is in - {charge on the decision that Gen. Douglas MacArthur will not violate regulations by delivering the key- note speech at the Republican con- vention. But the President ducked a direct answer as to whether he approves the Army’s decision. Flying foxes, which live in Old World tropics, are bats with a wing spread of around 5 feet, —____..

Hearts were ex- changed also. Jeanne cried at her wedding, but only from happiness and at the moving delivery of the ceremony as conducted by the | Rev. Ralph Rogers at the Manse. | Chandler Townsend, a handsome guy, was best man and he didn’t | drop the ring box. sin He chauffered the wedding party of Mrs. Mary Beshaw, (Jeanne’s mother) myself, the bride and groom and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Striano over to the Manse. We! | were a little late, but Jeanne had to have the charming coronet of white carnations fixed- just so on her head. | When I arrived about an hour, before we were due at the Manse, | I found the groom with blood on his | chin! He claimed he wasn’t ner- | vous, and that the razor slipped nearly every time he shaved. Sug- gestions that he grow a beard were made by “Chandelier” Townsend, | but politely ignored. ON ARRIVAL we found Shop staff waiting impatiently. After the vows, pictures were taken and we | all set out for Telegraph Lane | where the newlyweds will live. But first we took them on a honey- moontrip. . . .around the Island, stopping at the Bamboo where they had become engaged.

Carlos served a wedding cup of champagne, and toasts were made including the one, “May this be ' the last fog you'll go through.” | You see, en route from the Manse, we fell in behind the city’s insect destroyer, the fog machine, and traveled at snail’s pace for some blocks. Ski was born only six miles | from my hometown up in Beaver | Valley near Pittsburgh and we are | veterans at fog, smog or Pea-| souper mists. Back at the airy and lovely apartment, Mrs. Beshaw had a sumptious buffet ready and we de- coured tasty bits including olives stuffed with cheese and a huge home-made wedding cake of white and gold layers topped with frothy white iceing, the whole delicious concoction so flakey and tender it was like eating angel’s food.
