Wed on November 20
In a beautiful home wedding
on November 20, Miss Stephanie
Pauline Sobczak, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. B. Sobczak of Attica,
New York, became the bride of
Thomas Lee Gardner, son of Mr.
gfd Mrs. T. L. Gardner of Louis
ville, Kentucky.
'The bride was given in mar
riage by her brother, Bernard
Sobczak, who came to the Terri
tory from Attica to attend the
ceremony. The double ring cere
mony was performed by U. S.
Commissioner Dorothy B. Saxton
in her home on Matanuska Street.
For her wedding the bride
chose traditional white satin for
her brocaded gown. The fitted
bodice was styled with vee-shap
ed neckline, both front and back
and three-quarter length sleeves.
Her skirt was full. Her hat was
of white feathers, with rhine
stone trim, and her flowers were
a shoulder corsage of orchids. Her
rnatron-of-honor, Lois E. Heldon,
wore a pink silk suit-dress with
rhinestone trim and a shoulder
corsage of vanda orchids.
Richard E. Demming was best
man for the bridegroom.
Following the wedding cere
mony a reception was given by
friends of the bride, at the coup-,
le’s home, where Mrs.-Richard
Demming presided over the guest
book. Guests were present from
New York, Anchorage and Pal
mer.
The beautiful wedding cake
was decorated by Betty Jo. Rid
dle, in an Alaskan theme, with
the base of diamond willow, and
an arch made from a driftwood
twig was bent into shape and en
twined with lilies of the valley.
An ivory billiken shared honors
on the top of the cake, along with
a miniature bride and groom.
The bride is a graduate of New
York State University at Buffalo,
N. Y. and is employed as a teach
er in the second grade at Swan
son School.
The bridegroom is a civil en
gineer at Elmendorf Air Force
Base and received his formal
schooling at Purdue University.
The bridegroom’s gift to his
bride was an initialed gold nug
get pin. The couple’s gifts to their
attendants were hematite earrings
to the matron-of-honor and a
monogrammed knife and pencil
set to the best man.
Following a wedding trip to a
cabin in the Big Susitna area, the
couple are now at home in the
former Blunck home at Mile 42,
in the Butte area.
It’s the Mighty Mite
of chain saws
Model 17 Chain Saw
No other saw so light... so easy
to handle . . . packs as much
power. Enough power to zip
through an 18 inch tree in 18
seconds. Enough power to cut
trees 4 feet or more in diameter
and to stand up with costly
maintenance under steady pro
duction cutting. Try it . . . this
mighty mite of chain saws ... the
new Homelite Model 17, today.

SUTTON SALLIES
By Flach and Rueffer
Our beautiful fall weather is at
an end and now winter is here
in earnest. The below zero tem
peratures are invigorating. Still
we are fortunate in having only
a few inches of snow which isn’t
drifting too badly our way in
spite of the Matanuska winds.
“Tiny" and Katie Wade have
the privilege of her father, sister,
Shirley, and another sister in An
chorage visiting them with their
family. Shakespeare once said: “A
rose by any other name would
smell as sweet", and we do apolo
gize for not having the names.
Because of sickness in the fam
ily we missed last week’s Sut
ton Sallies. However, we did ex
perience another kind of Alaskan
cooperation wh n our car trouble
made it necessary for us to ob
tain help. Mr. Charles Feastus,
south of Palmer, was kind
enough to drive us home on a
bitter cold night at 2:30 in the
morning. At that time a friend in
need is truly a friend indeed.
We hope our new family, the
