Trap Damage
SAIGON—A batallion of the
U-S First Infantry Division has
suffered heavy casualties in a
trap sprung by the Communists
in South Viet Nam—40 miles
northwest of Saigon. American
GI’s patrolling a highway sud-
denly found themselves in a
fierce machinegun cross-fire and
the target of a bugle-blaring,
human-wave attack. One survi-
vor says that when the Ameri-
cans sought refuge in dense
foliage, the reds set off grenades
by wire-pulling devices.
American Marines moving to
assist the US Army troops under
Communist fire northwest of
Saigon recovered a' helicopter
that had been shot down by the
Reds. There is no immediate
word on the fate of the helicop-
ter crew.
And U-S Marines are pressing
a sweep of Red-held territory
along the coast 260 miles north-
east of Saigon. A total of 25
Viet Cong have been killed by
the Leathernecks, naval gunfire
and air attack.

Woman Kills
Her Husband
GARLAND. (AP).—A 30-year-
old waitress shot her husband to
death in the Dallas County town
of Garland late last night. A
peace justice ruled it was justi-
fiable homicide.
Police said Barbara June
Carter shot her husband twice
in their Garland apartment after
he had threatened and beaten
her.
The 40-year-old husband,
Henry Chancy Center—was shot
twice with a .25 caliber pistol.
One slug hit him in the head.
The other struck him in the
upper leg.
Investigators said Mrs. Center
was driven home from work a-
bout 11 p.m. by a friend, Shir-
ley Crabtree.
They said that when the car
arrived in front of the apart-
ment house—Center pulled his
wife from the car and began
beating her.
Later inside the apartment—
police said—Center threatened
to kill his wife and the couple’s
three daughters.
Investigators said Mrs. Center
managed to wrestle the gun a-
way from her husband and shot
him.
The daughters—age 12, 9 and
6—were in the Garland apart-
ment at the time of the shoot-
ing.
Miss Donna Jo Cole, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Thurman Cal-
vin Cole of Ferris, became the

in the First Baptist Church of
Ferris. The Rev. W. A. Corley of-
ficiated at the double ring cere-
mony.

ding music were Mrs. James

The couple repeated their
vows before an altar banked with
palms, candelabra and baskets of
chrysanthemums. The pews were
marked with white flowers and
greenery.
Bride’s Gown
Given in marriage by her fa-
ther, the bride wore a formal
length gown of candlelight silk
peau de soie. The fitted bodice
was fashioned with a scooped
neckline and elboy length sleev-
es. The skirt was flat panelled
in front with fullness extending
from either side to form the cir-
cular train. The waist, sleeves
and . bottom of the skirt panel
were covered with lace, encrust-
ed with seed pearls and crystals.
Her floor-length veil of illusion
fell from a pillbox which was
covered with the same material
as her gown. She carried a bou-
quet of white roses and stepha-
notis with satin ribbon streamers
centered with a white orchid a-
to her Rainbow Bible.
Attendants
Mrs. Hibbert Beck of Palmer,
sister of the bride, was matron
of honor. Miss Carolyn Cole of
Ferris, also a sister of the bride,
and Mrs. Danny Shanks of Dal-
las were bridesmaids. They wore
identical dresses of blue crepe
with slim skirts shirred at the
waist, scooped necklines and el-
bow-length sleeves. Their head-
pieces were pillbox hats covered
in matching material with nose
length veils of tulle and ostrich
feathers around the crown. They
carried nosegays of bronze and
yellow mums with blue tulle and
blue satin streamers.
Best man was Ivan Kennedy
of Plano. Groomsmen were Ray-
man Boyd and Terry Mann, also
of Plano. Candlelighters and
ushers were Hibbert Beck of
Palmer, Danny Harbin of Ar-
lington, and Charles Findley and

Flower girls were Jeannie
Beck, niece of the bride, and
Frances Ann Boyd, niece of the
bridegroom.
Reception
A reception was held following
the ceremony in the Fellowship
Hall of the Church. The bride’s
table was laid with white satin
overlaid with lace. A silver can-
delabrum entwined with smilax
and the bridesmaids’ bouquets
at the base formed the center-
piece. The tiered wedding cake
was served by Mrs. John Simms
of Plano, cousin of the bride.
Mrs. Rayman Boyd, sister of the
bridegroom, presided at the
punchbowl, and Miss Clara
Frances Martin, also a sister of
the bridegroom, registered the
guests. Mrs. Eddy Hall of Nor-
man, Oklahoma and Mrs. Robert

Mayor Alva Ford has issued
a Proclamation declaring Dec-
ember 18 “Billy Anderson Day”
in Ferris, in recognition of his
outstanding record.
Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Guy Anderson, a senior at Tulsa,
and a graduate of Ferris High
School and Navarro Junior Col-
lege. He was Yellowjacket quar-
terback for two years and led
the team to a Bi-District title in
1959. He had an outstanding
record at Navarro Junior Col-
lege and was chosen to play in
the Junior All American Shrine
Bowl game in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. It was at this game that
he was discovered by the Tulsa
coach.
Following the Bluebonnet
Bowl game in mid-December,
Anderson will play in the All
Star North-South Shrine Bowl
game, Christmas Day. On Jan-
uary 8„ he will participate in the
Senior Bowl game in Mobile,
Alabama.
He has made the first team
of the All-Missouri Valley Con-
ference football squad named
by United Press International.
As one might suspect, Ander-
sonson’s football days are not apt
to end at this point. He was se-
lected by two pro teams in last
year’s draft, as a future draft
choice, however, he will not be
able to sign with any team until
after the game in Houston, De-
cember 18.
