Miss Lois Schroeder Exchanges Vows With Rev. Frederick Berger At Charming Sunday Afternoon Rites
When the Rev. Frederick J. Berger and his bride, the former Miss Lois Schroeder, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. O. R. Schroeder, 512 East Chartres street, return from their northern honeymoon, it will be to a home awaiting them in Los Angeles, where the Rev. Mr. Berger is associated with Baptist headquarters.
Their marriage was a charming event of Sunday afternoon, which found setting in the home of the bride's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Schroeder, 516 East Chartres. An improvised altar, banked with greenery and lighted by tall white candles, was arranged in a wide landscape window for the rites.
The Rev. Mr. Schroeder, former pastor of Bethel Baptist church but now retired, conducted the wedding service for his daughter, in which she repeated in her vows, some of the words of the lovely "Song of Ruth" (Gounod) later sung by Mrs. H. G. Dymmel as climax to the rites.
Miss Schroeder's floor-length gown was of soft white crepe, its wide girdle embroidered in gold. Her flaring shoulder-length veil was caught to a chaplet of orange blossoms, and she carried a white Bible adorned with snowy orchids with a shower of white bouvardia. An embroidered linen handkerchief which her mother had carried as a bride 44 years ago, was an interesting detail.
Mrs. Herbert Stabbert was her sister's matron of honor, and wore delphinium blue crepe with brief shoulder veil in the same color, caught with yellow blossoms to harmonize with her French bouquet of golden glads centered with gardenias.
Miss Carolyn Gibbs Is Fiancee Of Victor Chambers
Coincident with the past weekend visit here in her girlshood home of Miss Carolyn Gibbs, now of Los Angeles, was the formal announcement made by Mr. and Mrs. Frank N. Gibbs, 929 East Center street, of their daughter's betrothal to Victor Chambers, son of Mrs. Leona Chambers of La Habra.
The romance between the two young people began while both were students at Fullerton Junior college, which Miss Gibbs entered after graduating from Anaheim Union high school. She completed her college studies at University of Southern California where she secured her Bachelor of Arts degree and where she was a member of Chi Omega sorority.
At present, Miss Gibbs is connected with E. W. Axe and Company, investment advisors of Los Angeles. Her fiance, an alumnus of Stanford University, will leave soon for the east to enter training as a U.S. Naval Reserve officer.
The young people are making no announcement as to their marriage plans.

Little Miss Joan Adel Stabbert as flower girl, was a pretty picture in her long frock of ruffled yellow taffeta with blue bows on its bodice, and with her yellow blossoms carried in a little basket.
Completing the bridal party were Paul Billeter of Pasadena, who served his cousin as best man, and Walter Schroeder who ushered. At the close of the impressive rites, the Rev. Mr. Dymmel spoke a few words, heightening the effect of Mrs. Dymmel's solo, "Song of Ruth."
MUSICAL PROGRAM
Wedding music was especially lovely, with Mrs. Walter Gooden at the piano for traditional marches, and as accompanist for various numbers. These included the violin solo, "L'Amour Toujours I'Amour" played by Herbert Stabbert, and the vocal numbers, "At Dawning" (Cadman) and "O Promise Me" (DeKoven) sung by Mrs. Stabbert, and "I Love You Truly" (Bond) sung by little Miss Donna Lynn Stabbert, who in a frock exactly like that worn by her sister Joan Adel, later presided at the guest book.
Mrs. O. R. Schroeder and Mrs. J. F. Berger of Sacramento, mothers of the newlyweds, completed the bridal party for the reception hour.
The lace-spread tea table with its white tapers in crystal candelabra, and its gardenia and orange blossom flower arrangements, was centered with the beautiful wedding cake, from which the bride and groom cut the first slice. The cake was then served with ices by Miss Eleanor Kent, assisted by Mrs. R. J. Quast and Miss Esther Leuschner, Mrs. Nelson Painter and Miss Agnes Nelson presided at the silver tea and coffee urns.

One of the loveliest of the autumn weddings was that held late Sunday afternoon in Capilla de San Antonio where Miss Mary Frances Fallon, daughter of the John F. Fallons, 618 North Clementine street, exchanged vows with Donald Harold Berger, son of Mrs. Lydia Berger, 128 East Water street.
Miss Ruth Zimmerman provided the organ music to which the bridal party advanced to an altar banked with white blossoms and lighted by slim white tapers. The Rev. L. E. Eifert, pastor of Zion Lutheran church, officiated at the ceremony.
The bride, given in marriage by her father, was charming in her gown of heavy white faille, trimmed with Duchess lace from her grandmother's wedding gown. Her finger-tip veil fell from a little pearled Juliet cap and she carried white orchids showered with bouvardia. Bridal traditions were observed with a blue mosaic pin which had belonged to her great-grandmother, and a gold dollar worn in her slim satin slipper, just as her grandmother had worn it at her wedding many years ago.

Councilmen Ratify Appointments To Several Posts
Several recent appointments were ratified by city council members Tuesday night at a short business meeting in the council chambers of the city hall.
Recent changes in the police department made it necessary to make these appointments, all of which were recommended by Police Chief J. S. Bouldin. One of the appointees was Harry Hughes as a permanent patrolman. He fills the vacancy created when Grant R. Rude was appointed as relief sergeant.
Rude takes the post left vacant by the resignation of Sergt. Mark A. Stephenson, who left Sunday for Pensacola, where he will be chief gunnery specialist with the U. S. Navy.
Another appointment ratified by the council, was that of Robert G. Spencer who takes the post of license collector and pound master formerly held by Fred G. Robinson. Robinson resigned recently to go to Long Beach where he is stationed as a guard at the Naval hospital.
Employment of crossing guards was approved, and their work observed with a blue mosaic pin which had belonged to her great-grandmother, and a gold dollar worn in her slim satin slipper, just as her grandmother had worn it at her wedding many years ago.
Mrs. Paul McCleister (Barbara Pierpoint) as matron of honor wore a formal frock in rose organza and carried pastel flowers in colonial arrangement. In similar style were the frocks worn by the two bridesmaids, Miss Marjorie Coffman in delicate blue, and Miss Jean Schneider in apple green. They too carried colonial bouquets.
Mr. Berger's best man was his brother, Charles Berger, and Eugene McCarter and Paul McCleister, both of SAAAB, ushered.
The parents of the newly-wedded pair joined the bridal party for the reception held in the chapel gardens for the hundred or more guests. Mrs. Fallon wore soft blue silk jersey with gardenias, and the senior Mrs. Berger chose a black and white costume, also worn with gardenias.
After the bride cut the first slice of a beautifully decorated wedding cake it was served with other dainties, by the Misses Patricia Winney, Clarice Grove of Fullerton, Esther Suhr and Alice Imfield.
Upon return from a short Southland honeymoon, the new Mr. and Mrs. Berger will receive their friends at 420-A North Palm street. Both young people are graduates of Anaheim Union high school, and Mr. Berger is with Douglas Aircraft corporation.

Year's Activities For Ebell Members Will Be Launched Next Monday; Section Meetings Are Also Announced
Launching a year which promises a succession of valuable and informative programs under the presidency of Mrs. Cortez Hoskins, Anaheim Ebell club will meet next Monday afternoon in Ebell clubhouse, 244 North Helena street.
Members are anticipating the friendliness of a 12:30 o'clock luncheon during which they will renew club association after the summer's lapse of such activities.
Mrs. Hoskins will call the business and program session to order at 2 o'clock, and Ellis L. Spackman will be introduced as guest speaker by the program chairman, Mrs. Paul H. Demaree.
As professor of history at San Bernardino junior college, Mr. Spackman is a student of world affairs, and is one of the Southland's favorite radio commentators. He has announced "Australia" as the subject of his talk and the prominence taken by the continent "down under" in present world history, adds to the anticipations with which Ebell women await his address.
October also brings a quickening of interest in the work of the several club sections. On Monday the 12th, Home and Garden members will stage a unique program in the clubhouse, on the theme of "Contributions of Our Colonial Women to Present Day Life." The subject will be dramatized, with various prominent members assuming the roles of women famous in Colonial days.
Each succeeding Monday of the month will offer some special event. On October 19, Bible section members will meet for a dessert course at 1:30 p.m. after which they will hear a book review by Mrs. Diana Newkirk.
Book section members have announced a covered dish luncheon for October 26, when they will assemble at the clubhouse at 1 o'clock. In the program session to follow, they will hear a discussion by Mrs. Leo-Friis, of the new books of contemporary interest, after which the guest speaker, Eddy Albright, will be presented.
Clubwomen are all familiar with Eddy Albright's radio commentaries which are presented from the Mutual Don Lee station, and which give him the authority to speak convincingly on "Radio in the War," his subject for the afternoon.
