ACTIVITIES OF JWC
OUTLINED; SESSION
GREETS OFFICERS
A good attendance greeted the
new officers of the Juneau Wo
man's Club at the first business
meeting of the new club year, Wed
nesday afternoon at the AELP
Penthouse. Mrs. William Paul, Sr.,
presided and other 1950-51 officers
present were Mrs. D. M. Morrison,
vice-president, Mrs. J. G. Williams,
recording secretary, and Mrs. K. S.
Clem, treasurer. Mrs J. V. Cole,
corresponding secretary, was report
ed out of town.
Mrs. Paul stated that she had
met many Alaska clubwomen while
on her recent trip in the interest
of the Alaska Tuberculosis Assoc
iation, and had attended an in
teresting club meeting in Fairbanks
where the program featured two
speakers, a representative from
each of the two major political par
ties.
A letter from Mrs. Doris Barnes
of Wrangell, new President of the
Alaska Federation of Women’s
Clubs for the term 1950-53, de
scribed some of the highlights of
the General Federation Convention
which was held in Boston the week
of May 29th and which she had
attended. At this Convention the
three-year term of Mrs. J. L. Blair
Buck as GFWC president ended.
Her successor in office is Mrs. Hi
ram C. Houghton of Red Oak, Iowa.
Considerable time was spent Wed
nesday in discussing activities for
the year ahead. Only appointive
office filled was that of represent
ative to the Teenage Council. Mrs.
C. V. Rudolph was appointed to
succeed Mrs. Neil Fritchman who
served in that capacity last year.
Other appointees will be announ
ced later, Mrs. Paul stated. Em
phasis this year is expected to be
on International Relations and a
brief review of present world prob
lems was suggested for each mon
thly meeting.
With the usual “Round-up Tea’’
in August omitted this year, that
event will be combined with the
first social-program meeting of the
year September 20, at the home of
Mrs. Mildred Hermann. It will be
an open meeting with Juneau tea
chers and other interested women
in the community cordially invited
to attend. Guests of honor on this
occasion will be Mrs. Barnes who
will visit Juneau at that time and
Juneau’s own Mrs. D. W. Herron

who will soon leave Juneau. Mrs.
Herron has been an indefatigable
worker in the Club during her
many years of residence here and
a member of the JWC Building
Board. The hostesses for the after
noon will be the members of the
JWC Executive Board.
The afternoon monthly social
program meetings in the homes of
members which were found very
popular last year will be resumed
this year and the October meeting
will be held at the home of Mrs.
Ray Day. The February meeting,
however, will be the usual Legis
lative luncheon to honor women
legislators and the wives of legis
lators. The time and place for
other meetings will be announced
when the entire program for the
year has been planned.
Before closing the meeting Wed
nesday, satisfaction was expressed
in regard to the opening of a home
for pioneer women at Sitka, appli
cations for which are now being re
ceived. The clubs of the Alaska
Federation began working for such
a home more than 25 years ago,
according to the Federation Year
Book published in 1926.
Rdath Dawes
Becomes Bride
Of Fred Prouty
In a candle light ceremony last
night. Miss Rdath Eileen Dawes
became the bride of Mr. John Fred
erick Prouty at 8 o’clock in the
Northern Light Presbyterian church.
The Rev. Paul Prouty, father of the
groom, read the marriage vows.
The ceremony took place before
the altar decorated with baskets
of yellow gladiolas and bronze
chrysanthemums alternating with
standards of tall lighted tapers. Two
lighted candles glowed at each win
dow.
Into this setting the bride entered
on the arm of her father. She wore
a gown of silk brocaded satin which
she had made. The material from
which the gown was made was a
gift to her from a cousin who was |
living in Korea. The gown was fash
ioned with princess panel front
piece flowing into the fullness of
the. skirt and train.
To this was added a short flare
back jacket with long tight fitting
sleeves and a high standing col
lar. Tiny buttons marched down
the front of the jacket and up each
sleeve half way to the elbow. The
bridal veil was “something borrow
ed” from her mother’s wedding day.
The silk illusion fell in tiers from a
head dress of wax orange blossoms.
Pearl eardrops and necklace, a gift
from the groom, and her bouquet
of white chrysanthemums completed
the bridal accessories.
Miss Claire Folta, the maid of
honor, wore a gown of cantaloupe
green taffeta and the bridesmaid.
Miss Lois Nicholson, wore a gown of
gold taffeta. These dresses were
er length cuffed sleeved. Both car
ried bouquets of bronze chrysanthe
mums and wore Juliet like caps dot
ted with pearls.
The groom had chosen James
Smith as his best man while ushers
were Willard Prouty, brother of the
groom, and James Klein.
Before the vows were spoken. Miss
Claire Folta, soloist, sang “At Dawn- ,
ing” and “The Lord’s Prayer.” Mrs.
Carol Beery Davis was at the organ.
The bride’s mother chose a floor
length gown of aqua lace over taf
feta and a red rose-bud corsage,
while the groom’s mother worea
dress of black lace over turquoise
taffeta and had a bouquet of roses.
The groom’s grandmother, Mrs. An*
nie elites, wore a gown of a soft
green shade and a corsage of pink
rases.
The wedding reception was held in
the church parlors immediatly after
the ceremony. The refreshment
table was T-shaped with the three
tiered Maltese Cross wedding cake
topped by a pale blue wedding bell
and frothy net bow in the center of
the table.
Mrs. James Bidwell was in charge
of the guest book. Those presiding
at the coffee service during the eve
ning were Mrs. L. P. Dawes, Mrs.
George Folta and Mrs. Joseph Rude.
Serving the punch were Mrs. Clar
ence Warfield, Mrs. Hugh Stoddart,
Mrs. Ted Nicholson and Mrs. Doug
las Gregg. Mrs. Phillip Dawes took
charge of the wedding cake after
the bride and groom made the,
traditional first cut.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Harold F. Dawes. She
graduated from the Juneau High
School in 1947 and attended college
in Oregon and Washington. Mr.
Prouty is the son of the Rev. and
Mrs. Paul Prouty and graduated
also from the Juneau High School a
year ahead of the bride in 1946. He
has attended school in Washington
and Montana.
The young couple will honeymoon
on the steamer Alaska on their way
to Pullman, Wash., where the bride
will attend Washington State Col
lege and they will make their home
there during the school year.

routing of outlaws.
Four top Paramount stars, never

Circumstances separate them, two of j
them becoming Texas Rangers, the
third more recklessly lawless than
ever before.
How they finally come to grips is j
