Recently Mr. and Mrs. Mat Rees-
ing and Mr. and Mrs. John Ring-
ness entertained the members of
the Mt. View Circle and their fam-
ilies with an ice cream social July
19 at the Reesing home.
All except three members of the

also were there to enjoy the oc-
casion. Other guests, whom the
members of the Circle were happy
to have with them, were Reverend
and Mrs. B. R. Maakestad and Rev-
erend and Mrs. Lawrence Jenson

now in the summer. The people
are out hiking, riding bicycles, etc.
Norwegians surely do love their
country, and I can easily see why.
It really gives me a big thrill to
think that both of you came from
here and that I'm Norwegian in
blood as the people here: and it
gave me an even bigger thrill when

FORMER BOSQUE COUNTY
H. D. AGENT WEDS JULY 14
Mrs. John T. Lynch was Miss
Alma Louise Miller, daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Miller
of Hewitt, before her marriage
July 14 in the Methodist Church
at Hewitt.
The bridegroom is the son of
Mrs. J. Lynch of Palacious.
Before an altar banked wilh
gladioli and palm foliage, the cere-
mony was performed by Rev. B. L.
McCord of St. Paul’s Methodist
Church in Fort Worth with Rev.
Ogle, pastor in Hewitt, assisting.
White tapers lighted the scene.
Traditional wedding music was
given by Miss Mary Carol McCord,
soloist, and Miss Ardath Wall, or-
ganist.
Given in marriage by her broth-
er, Guy A. Miller, of Houston, the
bride wore a magnolia white ball-
erina length lace gown, with a full
skirt and pointed waistline. Her
bodice was fashioned with a V-
neckline and short sleeves. A
shoulder length veil of illusion
was caught to a lace cap scattered
with seed pearls. Matching lace
mitts completed the costume. She
carried a bouquet of white orchids
surrounded by net and satin
streamers. The bride also wore
an antique heirloom gold watch
that belonged to her mother and
carried a lace handkerchief.
Miss Grenita Hyman, who was
maid of honor, was her only at-
tendant and wore a petal pink
taffeta dress with a full net over-
skirt.
William Smith attended the
bridegroom as best man, with
Vaughan Hyman and Charles War-
ren acting as ushers.
A reception was held in the
church immediately following the

rado. the bride chose a pale blue
silk ensemble with navy access-
ories.

friends throughout the County wish
her much happiness in her future
life.

home of Mrs. Sally Whitley and
Miss Bernice Whitley were Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Schofield of
Chapel and Mr. and Mrs.
Doss and boys of Waco.

What's So Funny?
Just finished reading a magazine
article that “proves” you and I
don’t know what’s funny.
A bunch of psychologists came
to this sad conclusion after telling
jokes to college students. Very
often they would give out with
what they considered a side-split-
ter—and not get even a chuckle
in response. Other times the stu-
dents would laugh their heads off
at stories that weren’t considered
really funny.
Maybe I’m wrong, but what
makes a psychologist such a better
judge of humor than the rest of
us? If a man gets a kick out ot mA
joke that proves it was funny
him—doesn’t it?
From where I sit, when psyche! ,
ogists try to set up a standard for
a sense of humor they’re getting jj
too serious for me. Stands to rea-
son that different people laugh at ,
different things, just as they have
different tastes for most every-
thing. I’m partial to a glaaa ad
beer with meals myself —but I
promise not to make any “wise*
cracks” if you prefer tea.
