Valentine Smith Alison of Springfield, Mass., son of the re- union sponsor, said the solution to the divorce evil was “lasting love.” Captain Harold Eddy said defense of the home was insured by proper child training.

More than 100 couples, some of whom traveled many miles to attend. marched into the hall to the strains of “Here Comes the Bride" last night and =at down to’ a chicken dinner prepared by the Ladies' Aid. It was a democratic gathering. Outside the church, flivvers rubbed fenders with limousines, There were no social restrictions on Alison’s party. All yvou had to be was married by the 55-year-old clergyman during his 12 years in Dridgeport. A soprano sang “Oh Promise Me” and *I Love You Truly” and the gathering setticd down to eating. Then the plates were cleared away and the big-voiced, husky pas- tor rose and spoke shortly, introduc- ing the speakers. He said that of the 401 couples he has married here, only nine now are separated by divorce. He expressed pleasure at lthe attendance and called upon every man present o stand up, give his and his wife’s name, their resi- dence, and number of children.
