dependence for the South. Because the -U. S. Navy dominated the sea. the South’s lading chance was to win in 1862 or 1863, or make the the war so inpopular in the North that President Lincoln would lose the 1864 election. By 1864, however, the South was no longer strong enough to mount a serious invasion attempt, though Lee still fought skillfully that summer in Virginia, defending Richmond and inflicting heavy losses on General U. S. Grant and his much larger army. Thus 1863 was really the last long-shot chance for independence achieved by arms for the South. Lee at first meant to attack Phila’delphia after crossing the Susquehanna at Harrisburg but when he learned the Army of the Potomac was nearby, he changed his plans and decided to fight an earlier battle — though he didn't plan to fight at Gettysburg. The desperate struggle began by accident on July Ist and its climax came when Union troops

assisted Miss Rapp in opening her gifts. Pink and green* jello refrigerator cake; pink punch; pink, green and white mints; and nuts were served. The serving table was centered with a small lighted church with the bride-to-be and bridegroom-to-be names on the roof and their engagement picture on the door. The miniature church was surrounded with pink . roses, greenery and coral bells. White bells, green and pink crepe paper bows and streamers were also used on the serving table. Present were: Miss Rapp; Mrs. Elmer Rapp, mother of the bride-to-be; Rose Rapp, Syracuse, aunt of the bride-to-be; Mrs. Berton Kolberg.

decisively repulsed a Confederate attack led by General Pickett's brigade. It was not one of Lee’s best battles and he won many others when even more heavily outnumbered. But it might have saved the Union. It almost certainly saved Baltimore and Washington from capture — that had become Lee’s alternative plan. And it reestablished General George Meade as a highly capable I nion officer. —o— WHO FOUND Carla's dog?
