u® Mrs. Warren Jack Gidley

Nita Osterman Is Wed This Morning To Warren Gidley Baskets of pink gladiolis and majestic daisies set the background for the wedding of Miss Nita Marie Osterman and Warren Jack Gidley. Celebrated this morning at 10:45 o’clock, by the Rev. Lawrence Gollner, the nuptial vows were solemnized in the Sacred Heart Catholic church, Fort Wayne. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Osterman, of Fort Wayne and former residents of Decatur; and Mr. and Mrs Wilbur Gidley, Sr., also of Fort Wayne, are the parents of the bridegroom. Charles Powell, organist, presented a musicale prior to the ceremony and at various parts during it he played several of the bride’s selections. Carrying a swag arrangement of white carnations and lilies of the valley, centered with a white orchid, the bride chose a gown of imported silk organza over taffeta. Alencon lace appliques embroidered with iridescent sequins and pearls accented the long torso with its scoop neckline and long tapering sleeves and the lace motifs were repeated on the billowing skirt which swept to a circular chapel train. Her Juliet headpiece of jeweled lace flowerettes held her fingertip veil of imported illusion. Miss Julia Rose Osterman attended her sister as bridesmaid in a nile green taffeta and chantilly lace gown. Her empire bodice of lace was styled with a scoop neckline and short sleeves and the gored skirt of waltz length was overlaid with lace in alternate panels. She wore a matching open crowned halo of straw flowers with a circular veil. A gown of nile green taffeta with an overskirt of nylon net was worn by Miss Cynthia Gidley, niece of the bridegroom, who attended as the junior bridesmaid. Her gown was styled with a sabrina neckline, was sleeveless and the full hoop skirt was floor length. To complete her attire she wore a matching open crowned halo of taffeta leaves, studded with rhinestones, and carried a swag arrangement of pink carnations identical to the honor attendants, only smaller in size. Wilbur Gidley, Jr., of Fort Wayne, was his brother’s best man while Kenton Gidley, another brother, and David Moore, of Decatur and brother-in-law of the bride, seated the guests.

Multiple Sclerosis Drive Is Continued Hope Chest Drive Continues To July Hope chest campaign for the national multiple sclerosis society will continue to the first week in July, Mrs. Vernon Hurst ahd Mrs. Bert Haley, county MS society cochairmen, reported this week. Hope chest cannjsters will be set up for the drive, which will raise funds for the national multiple sclerosis society work. "What causes MS? Is it an allergy? due to a food deficiency or heredity? a virus?” is one of the c many-sided questions asked about multiple sclerosis. Funds that the * national MS society raises, help finance research that is going on y continuously to answer it and oth- f er posers such as “Is there an ef-| ( fective treatment that can arrest the disease?” and “Can it be pre- r vented by vaccination or some t such measure?” < Organied in 1946. the national i multiple sclerosis society also tries to coordinate the scientists’ re- ' search and to help its victims and the public to understand the di- 1 sease better as science learns ■ more about it. One difficulty in treating the disease lies in not finding the disease until four or five years after it starts, according to Dr. Douglas McAlpine, of the institute of Clinical research, Middlesex hospital. An attitude that MS is a complete mystery and that nothing can be done about it hinders effective treatment — treatment which, Dr. McAlpine suggests, should be similar to that of tuberculosis, centering “around the patient’s constitutional and environmental background.” Although! the final cause and cure of MS are not known, victims of the disease should see their doctor for diagnosis and possible treatment. In the meantime, science, with the help of the national multiple sclerosis society, will continue the search for new treatments, and for the cause and cure for MS. Rev.

Spelling Champ Tells Secret Os Her Success

(Editors Note: A frequent . complaint about todays educational system is. that grammar schools high schools and even colleges are turning out graduates who are exceedingly poor spellers. One student who is an exception to that criticism is a 14-year-old farm girl who yesterday won the national spelling bee. How did she become such a proficient speller? The following United Press International dispatch gives the answer.) By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — JoUtta Schleuhuber, 14, lives on a farm and attends a two-room country school near McPherson, Kan. Yet she can spell words that would stump many a college graduate and probably quite a few I doctors of philosophy. Her spelling prowess carried her Thursday to the championship of the National Spelling Bee when she correctly spelled “propylaeum” and “syllepsis.” What was the secret of her success? — Encouraging parents who played word games with her and showed her that spelling could be fun—even while drying the dishes. —Rural school training by two teachers —there are only two at the 20-student school she attends —who stressed spelling for,-all their students but fed Jolitta's special interest with extracurricular spelling lists, rhyming dictionaries and other word books. —An interest in reading that • takes precedence over television. She watches TV only once or ■ twice a week. When Jolitta copped the national ■ spelling championship Thursday, ■ she walked away with a SI,OOO ; cash prize, a trophy cup and ex- . pense money for a weekend in • New York. . Her mother, Mrs. Milton Schle- - huber, a kindergarten teacher, was all smiles. Mrs. Schlehuber said Jolitta became a “spelling bug” when her

fourth-grade teacher, now retired, Mrs. James Knight of Knobnoster, Mo., gave the youngster het first real spelling list" to “keep her busy.” But Mrs. Schlehuber had interested Jolitta in spelling even before that. When Jolitta was 6 and 7, she and her mother used to play “railroad spelling” to pass the time while doing household chores together. In railroad spelling,. one spells a word and his opponent has to think of and spell another word that begins with the last letter of the previous word. The game becomes difficult when the previous word is one like “(St.” ( Jolittas father also keeps his daughter in form by tossing difficult words at her to spell. Jolitta said gleefully she couldn’t wait to tell him that the word “triturate” came up in this years bee. He had heard his denist use it last winter (it means pulverize) and asked Jolitta then if she knew it. She didn’t —then. Jolitta said that “association is one of her best helps in spelling. “Like exaggerate,” she explained. “It has two gs so you exag-g-e-r-a-t-e.
