Mrs. B. B. Talley Returns To States For New Flight Rating

Mrs. B. B. Talley, wife of Major Talley, U. S. army engineer at Anchorage, Alaska, is visiting relatives in Mangum enroute to West Virginia where she will visit her parents.

Major Talley is in charge of designing and constructing CAA and army posts in central Alaska. He and Mrs. Talley went to Yakutat, Alaska, from Portland, Oregon, in October. They were transferred to Anchorage in January.

Mrs. Talley returned to the United States in order to complete examinations which will qualify her for re-rating as a CAA instructor. She has been a pilot for several years and flew here with the Oklahoma air tour in 1934.

Mrs. Talley found Yakutat a very interesting place in which to live. The weather has never reached the zero mark, and hunting and fishing are favorite sports. She especially enjoyed clam digging and picnicing.

The natives there belong to the Thlinket tribe which boasts of never having been conquered by Whites. They are very well educated, and the children are encouraged to study music and art.

Each year the Alaskan Native Brotherhood gives a Christmas program for which the Indians wite all the choral and orchestral music. The Indians also write the play script and paint the scenery. Mrs. Talley played the piano selections for this program last Christmas.

Mrs. Talley said she had never seen an Alaskan Indian dressed in native costume with the exception of moccasins which are made of seal skin. They wear the best American clothing, and they give an annual dance at which the guests must appear in formal attire.

Homes of this Indian tribe are very elaborate. When the Indians tire of them, the entire village moves to a new location and builds new homes, leaving a ghost town. 

After visiting the Talley family here for a few days, Mrs. Talley will meet her parents in Fort Smith, Ark., who will accompany her to their home in West Virginia and other points in the east.

Military Rites Unite Miss Novak And Lt. Schneider

Rites in the military tradition, read by Chaplain Patrick J. Gleeson in the Fort Richardson chapel Sunday at 1:30 o'clock united Miss Avia R. Novak and Lieut. Joe G. Schneider of the air corps.

Chrysanthemums, evergreens and ferns were used in the chapel where white tapers gave the only light for the double ring ceremony heard by many friends after wedding music played by Lieut. Pitts and the song "Because" by Pvt. Galloway.

The bride, given in marriage by Capt. Paul W. Scheidecker, wore the white satin gown worn by her sister, Mrs. Scheidecker at her wedding. Fashioned in semi-military style, with high neckline, long sleeves and train, squared shoulders and with trim of many buttons, the gown was worn with a fingertip veil of net and instead of flowers the bride carried a white muff of satin and lace on which gardenias were pinned. In her hair she wore sheared white and pale yellow chrysanthemums in tiara.

Mrs. Scheidecker attended her sister as matron of honor and wore a gown of navy blue with a matching veiled hat.

Lieut. Frank Gallagher was best man and ushers, who formed the saber arch for the couple to walk beneath as they left the chapel, were Major Donohew, Lieut. Thornbrough, Lieut. Martin, Lieut. Northamer, Lieut. Poole, Lieut. Dunlap, Lieut. Rehmann and Lieut. Mason.

The reception was held at the Elmendorf Field recreation hall where cut flowers and greens were used and a fire kept in the huge fireplace. The table, where the bride cut the tiered bride's cake with her husband's saber, was handsomely appointed in lace, flowers and lighted tapers.
