Shuler of St. Matthews and Camp Cooke on the afternoon of Tuesday, July seventh, at 5 o’clock with the Rev. G. P. Lanier officiating. The wedding which took place in the home of the bride, was marked by dignity and simplicity. Decorations in the ceremony room consisted of an altar of ivy and fern flanked by tall baskets of white gladioli and white carna tions. Tall cathedral candles in candelabra of graduated heigths cast a soft glow over the wedding scene. Throughout the house vari-colored gladioli And snap dragons were used in graceful arrangement. Prior to the wedding a program of nuptial music was rendered by members of the bride’s family. Mrs. J. William Bracknell played “Venetian Love Song” on the piano while the candles were be ing lighted by Miss Margaret Bracknell and Miss Carolyn. Rice. Mrs. Bracknell also accompanied Mr. J. William Bracknell as he sang “Oh, Promise Me.” Miss Louise Bracknell sang “Because.” Other music consisted of “Still as The Night” and “Liebestraum”, which was played softly as the couple took the vows. To the strains of the wedding march the couple entered to gether. The bride’s petite blonde beauty was enhanced by her wed ding suit of beige, featuring a full-length fitted coat. With this she wore a becoming off- the-face hat of British tan as were her shoes and bag with gloves of beige. Her flowers were Talisman roses. ' The bride’s mother was dressed in Navy shadow chiffon with which she wore Sweetheart roses. Mrs. M. D. Shuler, Sr., mpther of the groom, was becomingly at tired in lavender lace with cor sage of yellow roses. Wedding guests, who included members of the two families and their intimate friends, were enter tained at a reception by the bride’s parents immediately follow ing the ceremony. The dining ] table which was over-laid with i an imported lace cover had as its ' central decoration a handsome IJ three-tiered wedding cake, highly . embossed and topped by a minia- [jture bride and groom. | Mrs. Shuler is the daughter of I Mr. and Mrs. John Luther Brack nell of Plum Branch. She was graduated from Coker College in 1941 after receiving many honors, some of which were membership in Alpha Psi Omega and Sigma Tau Delta, Natinal Dramatic and English Fraternities, respectively. She was also business manager of the newspaper and class histori an. Sergeant Shuler attended Pres byterian College where he was also prominent in all extra-curri cular activities, his fraternity be ing Pi Kappa Phi. Since ioining the armed forces he has been transferred to Camp Cooke where he and his bride will make their home after July 14th. Out-of-town guests for the wed ding included Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Shuler, Sr., Mrs. Florence Peter- kin and two daughters, Mrs. Ruby Culclosure all of St. Mat thews, Mrs. M. W. Cheatham, Mrs. Elizabeth Walker and Miss Sara Maude Walker, Miss Eva Davis of Columbia, Mrs. C. L. Harper and (Editor’s Note: Mr. Hull’s arti cle is unavoidably omitted this week and the following release was prepared by a guest column- fist.) According to the National Geo graphic society, more than a bil lion people and more than a quarter of the earth’s surface would be dominated by Japan if that nation’s dream of a reported “Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere” came true. It is report ed that recently a map de scribing this “sphere” had fallen into the hands of the Chinese government. A Chungking dispatch describes the map as covering Russia’s share of Sakhalin island, the Alsia mainland to and including Iran in the south, and Siberia to the Urals in the north; the north ern tip of Australia; and all the Islands of the' Southwest Pacific. Hawaii was stated to have been specifically omitted from the pro posed Japanese-controlled sphere. To bring such a chart to reality, the Japanese would have to estab lish domination over practically all the kinds of terrain the world offers, as well as most of the races of the human family. The regions concerned vary from the vast desert stretches from the “Dead Heart of Asia” to the. humid jungles of British Malaya, from the Artie wastes of the Siberian tundra and lonely plateaus of Tibet’s “Lost Horizon” Mrs. Allen Clem of Greenwood. land, to the busy oil-soaked flats of Iran. They contain some of the most fertile and the most desolate areas on earth; the highest mountains and the deep est seas; the wettest spots in the world, and some of the coldest and hottest weather known to man. It is estimated in round num bers, the Japs so far have suc ceeded in bringing under their control some 400 million people and more than 2 1-2 million- square miles of territory. The.- • .figures represent the completion of roughly a little less than two- fifths of the population involved and between one-sixth and one- seventh of the land area as re ported mapped. Whether or not the map really exists matters little. The big point is simply this: Japan has some pretty definite ideas on where she is headed. But even more important is tin fact that the United Nations agree that she isn’t going to get_ there. Washington and London have drawn no maps for con quest but they have drawn up tin Atlantic charter which would in dicate that any plans Japan might have for the Pacific area would have to be tossed into the sea along with the Jap navy. That’s the job ahead. Japan may have her maps but the United Nations plan to chart her course. « J Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bracknell en tertained the Bracknell-Shuler wedding party at a rehearsal din ner on Monday evening. Profusions of gladioli in mixed colors were used in the receiving rooms. The dinner table had as its decoration a crystal bowl of rose and cream snapdragons with crystal holders bearing rose tapers. A three-course dinner was served to those present. The honorees were presented a crystal cake stand. Guests on this occasion included Miss Bracknell, Sergeant Shuler, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Bracknell, Misses Louise and Margaret Bracknell, Mrs. E. C. Rice and Miss Carolyn Rice, Mrs. E. M. Winn, and Rev. G. P. Lanier.
