RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS
Thirty four persons, young
people and adults, met
Wednesday evening in Smith-
ville to discuss the religious
emphasis of Bicentennial
celebrations in the com-
munity
In reviewing the recent
' Celebration of Christ" held
here last month, possible
reasons for the meager turn-
out were discussed. It was
decided that, in spite of
adequate pre-publicity, most
residents thought the celebra-
tion was to resemble an
ordinary revival, with a
generous amount of verbal
preaching, rather than the
excellent presentations of
revival music which made up
the programs
The group decided to hold
another "Celebration of
Christ" in 1976, presenting
much the same format as this
year The 1976 Celebration,
however, will be limited to
three days and will be schedul-
ed during the school year
The latter decision was arriv-
ed at on the recommendation
of the young people present,
who felt that the lack of youth-
full support this year stemmed
from the fact that the celebra-
tion was held during the
summer vacation months.
It was recommended that the
1976 Celebration be held in the
first part of March, possibly
as a part of the Lenton ob-
servance Local youth will
participate in the celebration
by presenting the program one
of the three nights Visiting
musical groups will be
featured the other two nights
A Steering Committee was
appointed to develop plans
decided upon at the meeting
The committee members are:
Reverend Lewis, Reverend
Sims, Reverend Nees, Edith
Curry, Edna Hannusch, Jonna
Fleming, G M Blackman,
Gary Saunders, Maggie
Guyton, Rochelle Blaschke.
Clayton Seidel, David Schlortt
and Ken Blaschke, Jr
dress and wore a corsage of
white stock blossoms.
Immediately following the
ceremony a reception was held
in the American Legion Annex.
The bride's table was
coverfci ith a white cloth of
blue, pink, and yellow pastel
bell designs
The three tiered^ white
wedding cake was decorated
with pastel colors of blue,
yellow, green, peach, pink, and
purple The top of the cake
held a minature bride and
groom and between the first
and second tiers there was a
cupid doll Also on the bride's
table were the punch bowl and
trays of pimento cheese sand-
wiches, chicken salad sand-
wiches, pickles and potato
chips. The center piece was a
summer arrangement of
mixed pastel colors
The grooms table was
covered with a white cloth and
the center piece was an
arrangement of grapes and
greenery The cake was
German chocolate with a
hunter and deer on top in a
pasture scene
Members of the house party
were Sandy Randolph, Dee Ann
Claiborne. Donna Glenn, all
of Smithville, and Brenda
Almond of Texarkana
