LOOK FOR SIGN
In the home of the bride's
grandmother, Mrs Anna Bow
sher, wedding vows were made
Saturday. July 18, in a 2 p m.
ceremony by Dianna Mitchell
and Pvt. E-l Jimmy E. Ruff.
Her parents, Mr and Mrs. J.
C. Mitchell, live at 1800 Main
in McAllen The bridegroom s
parents are Mr. and Mrs. J. A
Ruff of Albany.
Given in marriage by her
fattier, Uie bride was wearing
a fitted dress of white lace de-
signed with long sleeves and
adorned with ruffle at the hem-
line. Carried on a white satin
covered Bible, the bridal bou-
quet was a cascade arrange-i>
ment of frenehed carnations 1
and candytuft showered with
satin ribbon streamers tied in
love knots.
Nita Mitchell was honor at-
tendant to her sister. Her light
blue dress was designed with
molded bodice and flared skirt
She carried a colonial nosegay
of white frenehed carnations
and candytuft with blue accent,
tied with blue and white satin
streamers.
Roy Ruff, brother of the
bridegroom, was best man
Background for the wedding I
party was a floor candelabrum
of fan shape, decorated with
emerald fern, white wedding
bells and blue and white rib-
bon bows and streamers. Can-
dles in its 15 crystal votive
cups were lighted by Travis
Bowsher.
A reception in tlie home fol-
lowed the exchange of wedding

so was a recent court decision
in Credit River, Minnesota.
(The name of the town is coin-
cidental with the circumstanc-
es in a court case to foreclose
on property). What occurred
could be of vital interest later
on or it might be nothing at all.
A federal court in Minneso-
ta has ruled that Federal Re-
serve Notes, some of which
you likely have in your pocket
at the moment, are worthless
In May, 1964, a man in Sav-
age, Minnesota borrowed $14,-
000 from the First National
Bank, securing the loan with
a mortgage on real estate.
Three' years later the borrow-
er still owed $476 and the bank
foreclosed The bank bought
the property at a sheriff's sale
and a year Later brought suit
for possession. The case wss
tried in 1968 by a jury which
held that the bank was not en-
titled to recover posession of
the property and that the debt
was void because the borrower
did not receive lawful money
his mortgage.
Forum" was strange, equally Federal Reserve Notes and the
in erpretauon of the Constitu-
tion.
it is a case of many remifi-
cations. If the decision of the ]
Federal District Court in Min-
nesota should be upheld by
higher courts, it would, mean j
that mortgage holders all over
the country would be denied
the authority to collect unless -
the loan was paid in gold or
silver. The question as to how
or for what purpose the bor-
rowed money was used seem-
ingly was not an issue. Logic-
ally the acceptance of Tedtral
Reserve Notes ail down tiie
line as legal tender would alter
the situation but apparently
this was not resolved by the
decision.
Be this as it may, the mat-
ter deserves the attention of
the Supreme Court and the
Congress before more serious
consequences occur.
