SITUATION BETWEEN ITALY

With his bride on his arm, a big
smile on his face, and a box of ci

Mrs. Albrecht is the former Miss
Blanche Smith of parksburg, pa., and
was operating room supervisor at the
Abington Memorial Hospital at Phila
delphia when Dr. Albrecht was serv

association sprang the romance that
culminated in a quiet marriage cer
emony at the Anchorage Presbyterian
Church last Friday evening, with Dr.
J. H. Romig, assisted by Rev. E. L«
7/interberger, officiating.
Following the ceremony a wedding
dinner was served at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Romig.
Dr. Albrecht- is a graduate of
Jefferson Medical College and came
north this year as superintendent
of the Anchorage Hospital. However,
when the health conditions here be
came a problem, he was released
from his appointment and made Med
ical Director of the Colony.
Mrs. Albrecht was graduated from
the Methodist Hospital at Philadel
phia and has served in many medical
institutions.

whistles and healthy lungs the chil
dren of palmer descended upon the
doctor's home Tuesday evening. The
noise was deafening, hut It ceased
suddenly when the doctor and Jimmy

into a huddle. Following the armis
tice parley, Captain jimmy was seen
teforo the candy counter in one of

Albrecht were again routed out, this
time by his older colonist friends

the evening before.
