Mr. W. A. Winn had the mis

The Plum Branch Junior High
School closed last Friday. On Wed
nesday night previous the teachers
of the smaUer grades, Misses Lang
ley and Brown, presented a beau
tiful prdgramme, “Wedding of the
Flowers.” Many flower attendants
filled the room, dressed in gorgeous
costumes. Before the bridal par
ty began to arrive, the bridesmaids
and grooms came in perfect order;
the minister of course had preced
ed the others, the little ring bearer
was on the job; the greatest excite
ment was when the manly little
groom ascended the steps with the
beautiful little bride on his arm.
The bride was the pretty little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Bracknell; the handsome little
groom the son of Mr. and Mrs. H.
M. Freeland. After the ceremony
the happy little couple marched to
the front, the sparkle of the en
gagement ring could be seen, times
pretty hard now to afford two
rings, but maybe not sa expensive
in make-believe. Of couVse the
wedding party was in evening dress.
The entertainment was a credit to
the children and their teachers.
Miss Amelia Wideman’s swee^
songs were enjoyed.

Ford To Advertise
Faith In New Deal
Given To Industry
DETROIT, May 10.—Declaring
“we have made a complete turn
around and at last America’s face
is toward the future,” Henry FOrd
Monday inaugurated a new adver
tising campaign for the V-8 car,
employing daily and weekly news
papers throughout the country.
Ford in his first statement will
announce his faith in President
Roosevelt’s “new deal for indus
try.” It is the first advertising
campaign undertaken by his com
pany since March of 1932.
“Three years—1929 to 1932—
we Americans looked backward,"
the motor magnate said. “All our
old financial and political machin
ery was geared to pull us oi^t of
the depression by the same door
through which we entered. We
thought it simply a case of going
back the way we came. It failed.
We now realize that the way out
is forward—through it.
“Thanks for that belongs to
President Roosevelt. Inauguration,
day he turned the ship of N state
around.”
