SHERRILL-ROBERTS

A m ilitary wedding of great in ­terest took p ace Saturday evening last at the home *of Mr. and Mrs. W ilbur Summerville Roberts, in Albany, when their daughter. Miss Dorothy Mae Roberts, was given in holy matrimony to Captain Stephen

H untting Sherrill. U. S. A ., son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Sherrill.

The ceremony was performed in the liv ing room, at 6 o'clock, in the presence of a large company of relatives and friends, the Rev. Dr. Lewis Marshall Lounsbury. pastor o f Trinity Methodist Episcopal church officiating. It was a ra in ­bow wedding, the floral decora­tions, costumes and bouquets of the bride and attendants carrying out these colors. The house was a t­tractively set w ith flowers by Flor­ist Kyres. A bower of towering palms flanked by large American flags formed the backgioond for the bride and groom. Roses and south­ern smilax were used throughout the house in trim m ing and decorat­ing the mantles and aisles, the en­tire floral arrangement being most a r t;stic and suggestive of spring.

The bride, an attractive brunette,

wore an exquisite weed ng gown, the foundation being made up of old fam ily lace w ith an over dress of ivory satin draped tunic fashion The bridal veil was of rose D o in t

lace held w ith a silver band. This part o f the bride’s costume was of

interest, since she was the fifth bride in the fam ily to wear the heirloom of rose point. She car­ried a shower bouquet of lillies of

the vallev and bride roses.The maid of honor was Miss

Hazel Elaine Roberts, the bride’s sister. Her frock was of shell pink satin, made w ith a barrel skirt and with a bodice of tulle and silver. She carried a shower of sweetheart

roses.The bridesmaids were Miss Eliza­

beth Roberts, a younger sister of the bride, and Miss Gretchen Van

W inkle, the bouquets tney carried being s im ilar to that of the maid of honor.

Thomas F. O ’Neill and an or­chestra played the wedding music

and for the reception and supper which followed. One of the inter­esting features was when the bride

u t the wedding cake w ith the groom’s sword.

A fter the ceremony the bride and groom left on a short wedding trip , after which they w ill go to

Fort Ethan Allen where Captain Sherrill has a cottage.

A number of out of town guests

were present, among them a group, of m ilitary men. Those who at­tended the wedding from this Vil­lage were Mr. and Mrs. A. E Sher­

rill. Miss Adaline Sherrill and Miss Adele Hedges.

The groom wore the fu ll u n i­form of a captain in the U. S

Army, and his brother, Fred C. Sherrill.who acted as best man.

wore his cadet uniform . The ush­ers were W ilbur Taylor Rob.erts. of Boston, the bride's brother, and

Captain Aaron Bradshaw, jr . , U.S.- A .. of Fortress Monroe.

RED CRoVs WORK

The Jun io r Red Cross of 250 members and the teachers in charge

deserve much commendation. The h igh school pupils meet at the Red

Cross rooms Monday afternoon for work, and eighth grade pupils meet

a t the same place Thursday after­noon. Children of the lower grades

meet Tuesday afternoon at the school. ' The committee on gauze

work says that work done by these pupils is done very accurately.

The attendance of the ladies was not so large yesterday afternoon.

It is hoped that the attendance w ill be doubled next week, i f possible,

as there is much work to do.

A list of the contents of two boxes is given below. These boxes

contain 1,545 articles.Box A — Sixty-four packages t r i ­

angular bandages, 24 pkgs. T band*

s, 143 pkg. 4-tailed bandages.

pillows. 2 pkg9. oakum pillows.

Mrs. Frank Griffin huS consented

to give the use of her home on F r i­day afternoons at 2 o ’clock to any

ladies who are w illing to come to work on Red Cross garments which

FIREMEN HOLD SESSION

About fifty of the members of the Maidstone Fire Department a t­tended the meeting held in Odd Fellows’ Hall. Friday night. The men first enjoyed a Welsh rarebit supper prepared by Mrs. Owen Bennett. After this was finished the men settled back in their chairs, lit their cigars and were ready for the business part of the program.

Assemblyman Talmage was the first speaker of the evening. Dur­ing his remarks he expressed his appreciation of the work accomp­lished by the firemen at the Field fire. Nelson C. Osborne followed, with mapy interesting remaiks re­garding the ab ility shown by the firemen at their last call. He also brought to the attention of the company the fact that the value of the property saved that night would pay the entire cost of heating the fire house, buying the auto truck and supplying several other needs that have been suggested.

During the program Fire Chief Dominy explained the Gamewell alarm system, which has been sug­gested. This alarm would be a great improvement over the present system. Instead of the alarm be­ing given as i t is now— so many calls for such and such a district— a number of fire alarm boxer- would

he placed in different parts of the town. In case of a fire the one dis­covering it would immediately go to the nearest box and pull down a lever, when the alarm would be sounded at once, thus doing away with the delay caused by calling up central and then getting the electric light plant before an alarm can be sounded. The firemen would go to

the fire house, where the one in charge would have already deter­mined the location of the fire. The owning of a fire house will greatly

facilitate the work of the firemen.In appreciation of the excellent

work accomplished by the firemen it would seem that anything that

could be done to add to their com­fort or increase the efficiency of the department, such as heating the room over the fire house, buying a

new fire truck or installing an alarm svstem ought surely to meet with the hearty support of every taxpay­

er in the district.

DRAFTED MEN BEING EXAMINED

Thirty-nine of our young men are now being examined for physi­cal defects. The local board of Division Three summoned the first on the list Wednesday at the Court •Iitouse, Riverhead. A ll o f these

men are taken from class 1, and it is thought that enough men w ill

pass the examination so that it w ill be unnecessary to call on the sec­ond class. The requirements have

been modified considerably and many reg is tran t who were exempt­

ed from the first draft because of

physical defects w ill be taken in t|jis dratf.

It has been decided by the Dis­

trict Court of Appeals that any reg­istrant married smce May 18 shall

tft.t be exempt unless the local board consider the marriage was not en­

tered into w ith the purpose of evading m ilitary service.
