Link, exchanged nuptial vows on Saturday afternoon, St. Valen- tine’s Day, in a double ring ceremony which united her in marriage to Lt. Otis Randolph Gilliam, USN, of Courtland, Va., in one of the most impressive and beautifully The wedding took place at the where the Rev. Link is pastor. An arch of asparagus fern was placed over the outside entrance to the church. The vestibule was decorated with baskets of white gladioli, yellow and white snap- dragon and fern sprays. The center front pews, reserved for the immediate family and close friends, were marked off and decorated with white satin stream- ers and white bows holding cluster tips of yellow and white snapdra- gon. The rostrum had a background of seven ten-foot royal palms, four huge potted ferns and trailing maidenhair fern forming cascades of green beneath four large can- delabras with seven white tapers burning in each. The golden glow illuminated the soft mist blue ‘of the delphinimums in two tall bas- kets and pointed up the two big baskets of white and yellow snap- dragon. Spring flowers of yellow, blue and white iris in smaller bas- kets completed: the setting. Along the sidewalls of the church, single lighted candles in a spray of fern were placed on each panel. “The enchanted guests heard a children’s choir of 22 voices sing the prenuptial music, “Because,” by Guy Hardelot, “Through The Years,” by Vincent Youmans and Cadman’s “At Pawning.” The group was trained by the bride. Michael Mariscal, noted young concert musician was pianist.

Both Dr. Harold Reilly and his wife, Elvira B. have hit the news several times this year, and here we go again. Mrs. Reilly is opening her own show of Mexican oil paintings at | the Miami Beach Art Center, 2100 Collins Avenue on “February 23 through March 12. Harry, as Reilly is affectionate- ly known to his friends here and in New York where he maintains the Reilly Health Service, Rocker- feller Center, is the chief entree served up in a diet and reducing | article by Debs Myers which is in the current February issue of all title is “What To Do About Your Midwinter Letdown,” and be- sides food and exercise, Reilly’s The Reillys maintain a winter home in Key West at 1525 Flagler Avenue. At present, Dr. Reilly, a physiotherapist, is in New York on business. He follows his own ad- vice and comes ere each year to recuperate, although I’ve never seen him slow down to a walk, and he never seems to be overcome by . the “midwinter | doldrums,” which are discussed in the maga- zine article. Debs Myers, describes him as Six-foot, 190 pounder in his middle fifties, ‘and says he considers his health establishment as a ” hu- man service station.” In quoting Reilly, she wrote, “‘We don’t wor- ship muscles, we specialize in re- conditioning and reclaiming mid- dle-aged people. Our aim is to build up the health of our clients and send them away with more engergy than they had when they came in.” She mentions that he has been in his work for more than 30 years and that he has taken care of all layers of society from actors through nobility. The recommendations by Reilly include first, a check-up by a phy- sician, then a diet which is in the “Holiday” article with a set of home exercises in case you aren’t near the Reilly rehabilitation house itself. ft is best summed up in his own words: “I am not interested in just adding years to the life of a tyaitor® -- I'm’ interested in, ddding life te to their years.” Besides sails re season on Reilly, he published a parlgiet called ‘The Life of Reil- ly” and the latest edition carries an article called, “Your Health and a Handful of Prayers.” “Here it is: “Practically everything in the world is changing! Moral stand- ards — the value of the dollar — 729| political concepts — even every- day manners. No wonder the aver- age person feels insecure. Any period of transition — even when it is one of expansion and growth — ‘tends to breed insecurity. The reason is obvious, Security based on outside.symbols (the dollar — social prestige — the spotlight of fame) becomes uncertain when everyday standards change. Only inside security can remain un-! shaken. As one old Irish-woman ; said, “Sure, and what have you} got in the end but your health | and a handful of prayers?” j “Depressing? On the contrary! | With physical vitality plus intelli- gence, plus vigorous faith, going | through life is an exhilerating ad- | venture — not a constant frustra- | tion. The only depressing thought | is that so many are blind to the truth. “Look around you! See how your friends and associates strive to | make more and more money, and advance themselves professionally ; and socially without any thought of conserving the machine that | keeps them going. Each day they | live in a state of physical and | nervous exhaustion, mental con-/| fusion and spiritual depression. Be- cause they are anxious and ap- prehensive, they overwork — and then get away from it all by overplaying. They are ever tired! BR ng yet—with so little effort— these pressured people can cut through the vicious circle that Wednesday, February 18, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN DIAL: Citizen Office, 2-5662 Page 5 Blonde, Talented Lona Allen Wins As Queen Of Hearts At Elks’ Dance Blonde, beautiful and talented 18-year-old Lona Allen was crowned Queen of Hearts on St. Valentine’s Night at the Elks club annual Valentine dance and floorshow. She is a native of Massa- chusetts and is how making her home in Key West, with her par- ents, Mr .and Mrs. Harry H. Allen, Jr., of 1117 Truman Avenue. She wore a white lace gown with red velvet trimming for the formal wear appearance in the contest. The judges from out-of-town and who arrived here the day of the contest. They were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Crun of Akron, 0., and Don Rowlett of Chicago. This is Miss Allen’s second title. She was chosen bathing queen in the March of Dimes event. She not only sings well but specializes in a baton twirling act which won makes them worry too much, work too much, smoke too much, drink too much, eat too much and take too may sleeping tablets! Too bad — when with only a light shift in emphasis, they can built up a true security that will never let them down no matter how the world may be twisted with uncertainty. “Psychologists tell us that every person in the world is basically sound, well-adjusted and happy! That is only the overlay of civi- lization — the daily rushing up one street after another for chang- ing symbols of outside security — that makes men and. women ner- vous and unhappy. Ideally, they say — for true security — all any- one has to do is to sweep away his overlay of jitters (caused by hundreds of pressurés which he is unable to solve) —— and put all of his emphasis on building up his inner resources, “We believe there is an answer » this viewnoint of psychologists. Daily, at Reillys, through an in- «Jgeaed program of exercise, or exercise equivalents, baths “and massage for elimination and re- laxation, we give city-dwellers the chance for a complete change of thought and environment. And daily we find this formula works. “When an individual throws off his super-imposed overlay of fati- gue and nervousness, he loses panic, confused thinking and all fear. Then the great building dir- ection, and with perservering co- operation, the capacity for vital and enthusiastic living is the range of every man and wo- man. ‘Let us be practical,’ you say. Suppose YOU follow this program — and neglect all outside securi- ty? How can you exist? ~ “A surprising things happens there, too! Then you begin to solve your problems one at a time with a healthy, uncluttered And ther’s something amazing! Now — outside symbols of securi- ty become less important. As they fall into proper place ~; they come to us with less effort. “You have your health and a handful of prayers — nothing else is needed. “Suddenly everything is there!” (H. J. R.) NEED CASH?
