In a simple but pretty wedding Sunday morning, December 24, at seven o'clock at the North Spray Christian church, Miss Kathlyn DeHart became the bride of John Burks. Rev. D. G. Saunders, pastor, performed the ceremony before relatives and close friends of the couple.

The vows were spoken before an altar fashioned in green and white with tall branched candelabra holding lighted white tapers, Prior to the wedding, a program of nuptial music was given by Mrs. Kathleen Hopkins, pianist, and Miss Annie Mary Saunders, and Louis Uden, soloists.

The candles were lighted by Jesse Dehart, Jr.., brother of the bride and Jesse Porter.

To the strains of the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin" the bride and bridegroom entered together. The bride was becomingly attired in suit of crushed berry with matching accessories. She wore a shoulder corsage of orchids and lilies of the valley. For the bridal trip, she added a. matching swagger length coat.

 After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Burks left for a brief wedding trip and upon their return will reside in the home of the groom's mother.
