Foster-Mielke
Wedding Service
Performed Sunday
Evelyn Foster became the
bride of Robert Mielke at a cere
mony in the United Protestant
Church last Sunday afternoon.
The service was performed by
the Rev. George Geiwitz, offi
ciating in the absence of regular
pastor Victor Alfsen.
For her bridal gown, Miss Fos
ter wore a heavy satin dress,
styled with long sleeves, high
neck and bodice effect, complete
with a satin train. She wore a
fingertip veil of net and carried
a bouquet of white carnations.
Wedding attendants for Miss
Foster included matron of hon
or Mrs. Peggy Yohn, who wore
green organdy, and bridesmaids
Marjorie and Marian Mielke who
were dressed in formals of pink
and yellow net.
Duane Huntley sang '‘Because'’
just before the wedding service
and then teamed with Florence
Carlson for “I Love You Truly.”
Duane was Mr. Mielke’s best
man.
For her going-away costume,
Mrs. Mielke wore a gray tailored
suit with black accessories. The
young couple planned a brief
honeymoon in Anchorage, after
which they will return to Palmer
to live in the Foster home while
Mr. and Mrs. Foster are Out
side. They plan to build a new
home of their own in the Sher
rod addition this summer.
A slight change in the Anchor
age morning schedule of the
O’Hara bus went into effect last
week. The regular bus now
leaves Palmer for Anchorage at
3 o’clock in the morning rather
than at 9.

Church last Sunday evening,
Miss Peggy Cronk became the
bride of Martin Betts of Wasilla.
Miss Cronk was formerly a teach

Miss Cronk’s wedding gown,
of traditional white, was of net
over taffetta. Its deeply ruffled
circular cape shoulderline was
repeated in the wide ruffle which
edged the train. With it she wore
a fingertip veil of net caught to
a crown of orange blossoms.
The dresses of the bride’s at
tendants, a matron of honor and
flowergirl, repeated the shades of
yellow and violet iris which deco
rated the altar and church. Mrs.
Paul Winslow, aunt of the bride,
wore black lace.
Before the ceremony, Mrs.
Chester Ricker sang “Ave Maria”
and “Because.” She was accom
panied at the organ by Miss Do
lores Zeis, who also played the
wedding march.
Miss Cronk was preceded
down the aisle by Mrs. Thurman
Betts, matron of honor, and Sally
Betts, flowergirl. She was given
in marriage by A1 Dodson. His
brother Thurman was best man
for Mr. Betts. Ushers were Roy
Morrison and Ernest Line.
The newlyw'eds plan to make
their home on Mr. Betts’ Wasilla
homestead.
