St. Boniface Church Offers Setting For Morning Rites at Which Young Army Flier Wins Lovely Bride Following the briefest of honeymoons spent at Santa Barbara Lieut. Neil LeVecke and his lovely bride, the former Miss Milo Sweeney is taking his advanced training as one of the U. S. Army's proficient flyers. It was on Saturday, November 14 at formal rites in St. Boniface Catholic church, that Miss Marguerite Camilla Sweeney, ("Milo" to all her friends) daughter of Mrs. Patrick Joseph Sweeney of Burton road, exchanged wedding vows with Lieut. John Neil LeVecke, son of Mr. and Mrs. William R. LeVecke, 216 North Helena street. Scores of friends of the popular young people assembled for the nuptial mass conducted at 9:30 o'clock by the Rev. Henry W. Gross, assisted by the Rev. Frs. Francis Keane and Michael J. Galvin. Special music was provided by Mrs. Clara Faust at the organ, and Miss Mary Jane Stevenson as soloist for such numbers as the "Ave Maria" and Cesar Franck's "Panis Angelicus." Feathery chrysanthemums predominated among the all-white flowers massed with greenery at the altar and defining the aisles down which the bridal party moved in the soft glow of the altar tapers. Miss Sweeney, on the arm of her brother, Kevin Sweeney who gave her in marriage, was radiantly lovely in her gown of heavy white slipper satin, its full skirt sweeping in a rounded train and the sweetheart neckline of its bodice accented by seed pearl clips. These matched the pearled net tiara from which her filmy veil Reed LeVecke is now training at San Francisco with the Engineers' Division of the Army Air Force. Following the ceremony, Lieut. and Mrs. LeVecke and their bridal party were joined by the parents of the young couple in receiving friends at the Sweeney home. Mrs. Sweeney and the senior Mrs. LeVecke both wore orchid corsages with smart black frocks. Colorful autumn flowers garlanded the home, and made an effective background for the tiered wedding cake, from which the first slice was cut by the young newlyweds. It was served with coffee by a group of close friends, including Mrs. P. E. Fluor, Mrs. Leon Gillilan of Placentia, and Mrs. Harry Dingle. When the young couple left for Santa Barbara, the new Mrs. LeVecke donned a smart frock and hat in poudre blue with sports coat and dress accessories in brown, and the orchids from her wedding bouquet as a corsage. Upon arrival in Carlsbad, Lieut. LeVecke will continue his advanced training. He graduated in late August from Victorville Army Air Force Reserves and was transferred to the New Mexico station. He was an upperclassman at Berkeley at the time of his enlistment. Both he and his bride graduated from Anaheim Union high school, the latter continuing her studies last year at State Teachers college, Santa Barbara. Miss Sweeney, on the arm of her brother, Kevin Sweeney who gave her in marriage, was radiantly lovely in her gown of heavy white slipper satin, its full skirt sweeping in a rounded train and the sweetheart neckline of its bodice accented by seed pearl clips. These matched the pearled net tiara from which her filmy veil fell to finger-tip length. Her sole ornament was the little gold cross on its slender chain, which was her bridegroom's gift. White bouvardia showered her bridal bouquet of gardenias and orchids, and as a touch of sentiment, she carried an exquisite heirloom handkerchief belonging to her mother. Miss Evelyn Sweeney, her sister's maid of honor, continued the all-white motif of the wedding, with her graceful costume of white brocaded satin, fashioned with fitted bodice and long full skirt. Color was introduced by her colonial bouquet of pink camellias bordered with delphinium and pink sweet peas. The Misses Maureen and Patricia Sweeney as bridesmaids, wore white taffeta moire gowns veiled with net, and carried twin bouquets of Talisman roses with delphiniums. All three attendants wore sheer white halo hats, and the pearls which were gifts from the bride. Lieut. LeVecke was assisted by his brother, Reed LeVecke, as best man, and by Lieut. Norbert Eimers, Noel Sweeney and Aviation Cadet John Ganahl as ushers. Upon arrival in Carlsbad, Lieut. LeVecke will continue his advanced training.

Details Are Received Of Wallace-Winney Marriage In Arizona Following close upon announcement reaching Anaheim friends of Ensign James Donald Wallace's winning of his Navy Wings of Gold at Corpus Christi Naval Air station, was news of his wedding on Wednesday, November 11, to Miss Margaret Eleanor Winney, daughter of A. L. Winney of Brockhurst Road. Ensign Wallace's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Edwin Wallace, formerly of this city, now resides in Globe, Ariz., and it was in Holy Angels church of that city, that the young couple took their wedding vows before the Rev. Francis Bree. Miss Winney paid a subtle compliment to her bridegroom, by wearing a smart tailleur in navy blue with dress accessories in the same shade. A corsage cluster of Talisman roses completed a costume that was most becoming to her sparkling brunette loveliness. Mrs. J. Neary and William Sullivan, both of Globe, attended the young people as matron of honor and best man. Mr. and Mrs. J. Edwin Wallace opened their home for the reception which complimented the young people before their departure for a honeymoon trip to the Grand Canyon and other scenic points of interest. Ensign Wallace will then leave for Norfolk, Va., where he has been assigned to the Atlantic fleet, and his bride will return to the Southland to complete her nurse's training course.

Lieutenant and Mrs. LeVecke Young Geologist Celebrates Vacation From Duties in South America, by Marriage to Charming San Diego Girl Return Monday of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd West, 751 North Zebra street, from San Diego, gave Anaheim friends the first information regarding the beautiful wedding Sunday of their son, Donald M. Wheeler and Miss Gecrgiana Porter, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George David Porter of San Diego. St. Francis' chapel in Balboa park was scene of the formal rites conducted at high noon by Dr. Richard Hollington, retired Methodist minister. The altar was banked with flowers and greenery for the double ring ceremony. Miss Porter, given in marriage by her uncle, Walter LeRoy Skelley of San Diego, chose filmy white chiffon for her graceful floor-length gown. With it she wore a flaring finger-tip veil which was caught to her coiffure with sprays of bouvardia. Fragrant boulvardia ringed the orchids of her bridal bouquet. Mrs. 'Gene Giacomazzi as her sister's honor matron, were rose taffeta contrasting prettily with the green taffeta chosen by Mrs. Arthur Webb (Marie West), sister of the bridegroom who completed the bridal attendants. Both carried nosegays of flowers in harmonious colors. Robert Pierce of Los Angeles, a Theta Xi fraternity brother, assisted Mr. West as best man, and Arthur Webb ushered. Wedding guests were relatives and very close friends, all of whom were entertained later at a reception in the bride's home. Featuring the refreshment interval was the elaborate wedding cake, first slice of which was cut by the new Mrs. West.

The young couple are now spending their honeymoon in various coastal cities, and will return to San Diego to remain until Mr. West is called back to his duties in South America with Socony Vacuum company. He is a geologist with the company, having fitted himself for his life work at University of California, Berkeley, after completion of Anaheim schools. He has been stationed in Colombia and Venezuela for several years past and is at home now on vacation to continue until mid-December, when he and his bride will sail for South America. The new Mrs. West was educated in San Diego schools, and for the past four years has been employed as doctor's assistant in San Diego's Dental-Medical building. Anaheim relatives in attendance at the wedding and reception included in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Floyd West, Mr. and Mrs. Howard West, cousins of the bridegroom, and his aunt, Mrs. Claude West. VISIT CONCLUDED Mrs. N. T. Ulvestad, the former Dorothy Yungbluth, and her young son Larry, left Tuesday evening for their home in San Marino after a few days' visit with Mrs. Ulvestad's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Yungbluth, 815 West Broadway. THE LONELY MALE Hollywood may be tailoring its screen epics to please the ladies—but figures show that more men than women go alone to the movies. This man is the reason you should avoid Holiday Travel Now, of all times, it is important for you to ask yourself candidly: "Do I have to take that trip?" For now, and until early January, is the time for holiday furloughs. Those tanned, clean-looking boys with their freshly-pressed uniforms you see at our ticket windows will only have a few days at home with their folks this year. And while many men in uniform will not "come home for Christmas," their home folks, in many cases, will visit them, and this means a lot to the boys who stay in camp. War's tremendous transportation demands—in carrying troops and war materials as well as civilians—have strained all railroad facilities to the utmost. Frankly, we're worried about the holiday season ahead. We know, as you do, that a furlough at home does something fine for a soldier. (And no one denies he's earned it.) But, to state the facts baldly, we can't carry the civilian holiday-takers and furloughing soldiers and sailors, too. With such a good reason, most folks won't find a "sacrifice" in canceling a holiday trip. And if you're one of these, the thousands of us here at S.P will give you a cheer. For railroad people aren't making holiday pleasure trips either. So please write your family and friends you have changed your plans...that there's a lad in uniform who needs your seat to see his folks before he travels overseas—and needs it worse than you do. For, of course, you wouldn't want to take his seat when he tries to go home on his holiday furlough. S·P THE FRIENDLY SOUTHERN PACIFIC The S.Q.R.
