Day, Weds (Sault Ste. Marie Star) One of the most charming of the late summer weddings took place at Christ Church, Korah, < at two thirty Wednesday .afternoon, August 27, when Miss Ethel Florence, sec ond daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus P. Holmberg, Third Line, Korah, and Robert Neil Palmer, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Palmer, 219, Brown Street, were united in mar* riage by the Rev. Canon W. H. Hun ter. The chapel was •■beautifully decor ated with baskets of gladioli and ferns from the bride’s garden. The bride, given in marriage by ~ her father, was winsome, in . a lov ely dress of baby blue sheer made on ’ Grecian lines with lace inserts ’ at> the • shoulders forming a- V-neck line', lace bodice and gathered skirt The dress also featured three-quar ter lexigth sleeves with a long tight lace cuff ending in a point over her hand, The long flowing veil of embroi dered silk net gathered in a cap effect was fastened with a crown of orange blossoms. For something old the,.-,bride wore hei- grandmother’s yellow gold locket and brooch. Shei carried a lovely bouquet of white and pink roses, sweet peas and baby’s breath.

The waistline was shirred and the skirt was grace ful. The bridesmaid wore a pink cap with pink, ’chapel bell to .match and matching accessories. She car ried a sheaf of red roses and baby’s breath. The wedding music, the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, was played by Miss’ Evelyn Hunter, a friend of the bride. Miss Patricia Wilding, a niece of the bride, made a charming little flower girl, dressed in a pink satin gown made princess style with round neckline, tight waist and a flared skirt embroidered in blue .rayon. She wore a large bow in her hair rind carried a dainty basket covered with blue and white ribbon which was filled with verbenas, baby’s breath and ferns. y ■Louis Holmberg, nephew of the bride, and Bert Dearing, nephew of the groom, were train bearers. Mr. Calvin Palmer, brother of the groom, acted aS. best man. Mrs. Holmberg chobe for her daughter’s wedding an afternoon dress of new cut lace in a heavenly 'blue shade made on princess lines/ She wore a picture hat. of black and White Hue Straw, accessories to match ahd a "corsage of deep pink roses and blue sweet peas with fern.

Many Canadian editors are resting more easily as a result of those contacts. Not a JoyrRide Where did we go? What did we see? What did we learn in t&ose eight days? It any reader has the impression that it was simply a joy-ride at government ex pense, we can only say that it was the most strenuous joy-ride that most of those editors had ever ex perienced, From 8 a.m. until late at night we were walking miles through military camps, in and out of bar racks, machine shops and airdromes, through huge munitions factories, naval dockyards nnd arsenals, were bounced over hill and dale in trucks, tractors, carriers, buggies and many other of those frightening vehicles which form the mechanized and armored army of 1941, (We saw not a single horse except on a back street in Halifax and we learned that only nine hors es remain in the Canadian army and they are headed for the glue factory). We were driven about in open army trucks in weather that penetrated to the marrow; we were embussed and debussed until we loathed the sight of a bus; we were thumped by depth charges tossed from a destroyex* on the broad Atlantic; we travelled some 3,000 miles by train ‘.and were finally disembarked in Montreal on a 'Sunday night in the midst of a downpour -of rain.

Loud speakers were set up by the Haskett undertakers, of Lucan. On the last a group of nearly fifty repre sentative -Canadian newspapermen assembled in Hamilton to com- , mence a journey that is probably without precedent in Canadian journalism. On the night of August 31st, eight days later, they arrived in Mont real to complete the last leg of a trip which had taken them tp the Atlantic coast and complete panorama ■ war giant which is form in Canada. Sponsored by the National Defence, the tour was in itiated primarily to give ‘the edi tors an insight into Canada’s mili tary’and industrial activity and to provide them with an enlightened ! conception of what iS actually talc ing place in this country, with the ! thought ‘ that they would then be able to discuss more intelligently - in their columns, the various phases of Canada’s war enterprise. That the editors gladly em braced this, unique opportunity may be taken for granted. Heretofore they had know all tOo little of the^ insidez story of the. huge machine" which constitutes Canada’s contri bution to the fight against Hitler ism. Not being in- a position., to in form their readers, the majority were inclined to give voice to the growing impatience on the part" of Canadians, at the apparent lack of * all-out effort. Until the 'fall of France in June, 1940, it is probab ly true that Canada had dorie all , too little. That is no Jonger true today. The truth is that Canada;, is rapidly shaping a formidable war machine that will have a notable part .in licking Hitler. In the short space. of eight days, the Canadian, editors were treated tp a spectacle that not only literally opened their eyes but inspired pride and strength ened faith in the part that Canada is playing and will play on an ever- growing- scale in aiding the Mother Country. Everything Wide Open Everything was thrown wide open to the prying eyes of insatiab ly curious editors. Nothing was held back. We had with us Brig adier Kenneth ’Stuart, D.S.O., M.C., Vice-Chief of ■ the ' General Staff, together with distinguished repre sentatives of every branch of the service, including the Department of Munitions and Supply, as well as G. Herbert Lash, Director of Pub lic Information and J. W. G. Cl.ark, Director of Public Relations for Army, and R.C.A.F'.’, and members of then’ staffs. Their policy was that every bit of available informa tion should be forthcoming. And it was. Nor did they place any restrictions on the contents of our stories aside from the well-kh’own rules of censorship. Not only did these men utilize every waking moment14 to answer the millio'n questions levelled at tliem by their guests, 'but they made sure that every Gamp Com mandant, every factory head and every officer revealed the whole show and held nothing back. At Ottawa the editors were entertain ed at a dinner at which Hon. J. L. Ralston, Hon. C.. D. Howe and Hon. C. Ch Power were the principal speakers. The general impression was that these riibn were sincerely tryiiig to do a job. They were frank • in admitting f their mistakes and Hon. Mr. Ralston declared that one chief mistake was iii ’ having failed’ heretofore in letting the light flood into editorial minds that their readers, the Canadian public, might know the true story of this country’s war achievement. A Real Achievement It . is an achievement, too, as these articles aim to tell, not just ah 'effort’, a word that fails to give the true emphasis. We would also add that not once throughout the entire eight-day pilgrimage Was the word ‘politics’ heard. The men who were our hosts, were far tod intensely absorbed in the vital task of sharpening Canada’s tools oi war to worry for a moment about poli tics. It was one of the lasting im pressions of the trip tjiat these men, many < of thorn dollar-a-year public servants, wore out to do a job for Canada, that theiz were sparing neither strength nor talent to per form were posts same era, the military camp commandants, the chiefs oi the navy and air force, 4 Church CLANDEBOYE Mrs. Bertha Kennedy, of the guest of her aunt, Aikens, of Mooresville. / .The W.M.S. of.the United are packing their missionary bale ouPWednesday evening at the home of Mrs. A.
