CANDLELIGHT WEDDING RITES UNITE
VIVIAN MEIER AND CHARLES SHAVER
As beautiful as every bride
dreams she will be was Miss Viv
ian Meier when she walked down
the aisle on the arm of her fa
ther last Saturday night, to be
come the wife of Charles Milton
Shaver.
The United Protestant Church
was beautifully decorated for the
evening wedding. Gold and white
chrysanthemums and white tapers
stood at the altar. Sprays of
huckleberry tied with a lovers
knot of gold ribbon were fastened
to the pews along the aisle, out
lining the bride’s path to the
altar.
Just before the ceremony began,
Mike Roberts sang “Because” j
and “Through the Years.” Mrs.
Max Sherrod accompanied him i
and then played the wedding
march.
Acting as bridesmaid for her
former schoolmate was Miss Bar
bara Hecker. Miss Hecker wore
pale blue satin and carried a
nosegay of white chrysanthe
mums.
Matron of honor was Mrs.
Wayne Bouwens. She wore a
rose satin gown and carried a
nosegay of yellow chrysanthe
mums.
The bride’s gown was tradi
tional white satin, styled with a
high-necked fitted bodice button
ing to the waist in back, with a
full-length train. Falling in a
soft circular sweep from the:
shoulders of the gown was a deep j
collar of imported Italian lace.
The lace also edged the full
length veil of bridal net. Her
veil was caught to a halo coronet
fashioned of intertwined hearts.
The bride carried a white Bible
covered with a spray of white
rosGs and white streamers, to

which tiny sprigs of greenery j
were caught with lover’s knots ;
of white satin ribbon. Her only
ornament was a plain gold chain,
one which her father’s mother
wore on her wedding day.
The couple repeated their vows
in a double-ring wedding cere- j
mony.
Attending the groom were Paul j
Ubert and Robert Meier, brother ;
of the bride. Ushers were Wayne
Bouwens and Vernon France.
A reception followed the cere
mony at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Meier.
For the ceremony and following
reception, the bride’s mother
wore a lovely suit-dress of green
and gold brocade with a rose-pink
hat and rose accessories. The
dress was a surprise gift from the
bride and groom.
Mr. and Mrs. Shaver honey
mooned briefly for several days.
Both are now back at work. They
have established their home in

ence in North Palmer. A
CHILKAT BLANKETS
SOON WILL BE JUST
MUSEUM PIECES
Civilization is forcing the death
of one of the loveliest of Alaska’s
native crafts. The ability to weave
a Chilkat blanket soon may pass
out of existence, for the craft now
is known to only four old women
of the Klukwan village near
Haines. No young women have
learned the art.
The Chilkat blanket is made of
the wool of a mountain goat, the
inner yellow lining of cedar bark
and sinew. Only three colors ever
are used in its weaving—black,
yellow and a soft blue-green.
The dyes are prepared from na
tive materials. Black is made
from hemlock bark, yellow comes
from sehony moss, and the blue
green is derived from copper ore.
The design is conventional, fea
turing the family totem.
The blanket formerly was used
at ceremonial dances and at fu
nerals.

KODIAK MAYOR SUES
.POLITICAL OPPONENT
FOR CRIMINAL LIBEL
Mayor Lee Bettinger of Kodiak
won his battle for re-election last
week; and the smoke of that
battle had not yet cleared before
the mayor was filing a criminal
libel complaint that arose out of
the pi'e-election campaign.
Mayor Bettinger charged a Ko
diak businessman with mailing
“defamatory matter” accusing
him of accepting “monetary con
tributions from undisclosed
sources” while serving as mayor
of Kodiak in other terms.
The man charged in the com
plaint refused to plead, so Com
missioner Mrs. A. M. Vokacek
entered a plea of not guilty for
him. The defendant requested a
change of venue, and the case
rests while the commissioner
awaits the advice of the district
court on that request.
