H. G. Dolley officiating, using the ring -ceremony. The bride's mother and severs! close friends made up the wedding party. Best wishes are ex- tened to the newlyweds who will reside in Bellwood. Css Schmidt Mr. sad Mrs. E. F. Schmidt of 1800 "NoHh Tuckshae sttreet, this borough, announce the marriage of their daughter Miss Margaret Schmidt, to Mr. Wilbur Goas, Mn of Mr. .nd Mrs. E. E. Goss af North Second street. The ceremony was performed Friday evening at 8 o'clock at St. Teresa's church rectory, Altoona, with lev. Peter T. Quinn officiating.

Mr. and Mrs. Goss are both graduates of the Bellwood High school, class af 1924. After a short wadding trip they will reside at the bride*, heme. Iu all of the clturche. of Bellwood speeial services wfll be observed and the houses of worship should ba fill, ed on this day, thus honoring mother, dead or living. If your mother has passed to the great beyond R is, indeed, a marie of respect you can pap to her memory by attending services. Thia ia a splendid idea and all of us should appreciate the opportunity it offers. Affection and love for one's own mother la th. natural order of living and in some individuals has grown tato a' veneration far motherhood in general and ia merited by increasing concern for tin physical well-being of all mothers. Mother*. Day will not have achieved its purpose in our lives until we, .. a people, reach this laat stage. Unhappily, the number of death, j that accompany motherhood ta the United States every year indicates a tragic failure on our part to do all that should be done. Encouraging, however, is the sentiment thst has demanded that steps be taken to assure proper safeguards for all mothers and to save the Uvea of ma*ny women needlessly sacrificed each year. The individual reader of this article may think that bis, or her, influence is small, but nevertheless we urge everyone to take some interest to the problem. Certainly civilization has not reached a very high level when such condition, to exist without effective protest from -children who have grown into maturity and understands the factors involved.

Iu all of the clturche. of Bellwood speeial services wfll be observed and the houses of worship should ba fill, ed on this day, thus honoring mother, dead or living. If your mother has passed to the great beyond R is, indeed, a marie of respect you can pap to her memory by attending services. Thia ia a splendid idea and all of us should appreciate the opportunity it offers. Affection and love for one's own mother la th. natural order of living and in some individuals has grown tato a' veneration far motherhood in general and ia merited by increasing concern for tin physical well-being of all mothers. Mother*. Day will not have achieved its purpose in our lives until we, .. a people, reach this laat stage. Unhappily, the number of death, j that accompany motherhood ta the United States every year indicates a tragic failure on our part to do all that should be done. Encouraging, however, is the sentiment thst has demanded that steps be taken to assure proper safeguards for all mothers and to save the Uvea of ma*ny women needlessly sacrificed each year. The individual reader of this article may think that bis, or her, influence is small, but nevertheless we urge everyone to take some interest to the problem. Certainly civilization has not reached a very high level when such condition, to exist without effective protest from -children who have grown into maturity and understands the factors involved.
