On one side of the cake the sons' names were written out in this same gold frosting and on the other side, the daughters' appeared.

WE RESERVE TH#I..P'! T ES. NO SALES TO u ! HA'PPY, Mr. an6 Mrs. Joe b. Okonek, of Grape- view, celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their home Sunday afternoon with an open house reception. Pictured here surrounded with members of their family, the couple are behind the huge wedding cake and two $25 turkeys made by members of the family and friends. Mr. Okonek was born in 1876, and Mrs. Mary Okonek in 1878. They were married November 29, 1897, and came to Grapevlew and Washington In 1922 where they have lived ever since. The fiftieth wedding mass which was celebrated at St. Ed- wa.rd's church for the couple Saturday was the first such mass ever held here," Father Mark Wiec;imann said. The members of the family who appear above are, left'to right, Edward, Mrs. Pauline Okonek, AI. Frances, (husband of Pauline) the twin daugh- ters, Donna and Loretta, of Francis and Pauline, Joseph and Mary Okonek, the honored couple, Mrs. Otto Nelson behind them, Ted Rauschert and Mrs. Rauschert, Mrs. AI Okonek, Beatrice Okonek, and -Richard and Tyrone, sons of Edward and Beatrice Okonek. Other members of the family who left early to catch a ferry were Mrs. Roy Fredrickson, of Seat- tle, and Mrs. Johnny Reed, Tacoma, and their chil- dren Tammie Fredrickson and Sandra Reed. photo by Burgoyne by. Mrs. Betty Taylor. Sarah Tschida built an interest- ing looking pair of turkeys. She started with two pine cones and went. on from tlere. The tails were made up of folded dollar bills, twenty-five on each bird, flared out in a semi-circle, and Sarah received many compli- ments upon her artistry. The fifty dollars, thus partly concealed, commemorated the 50 years of marriage and was pre- sented to Mr. and Mrs. Okonek by friends and neighbors. New Regulation On Oyster-ting Seattle. (Special)Milo ]V[oore, State Director of Fisheries, today announced the promulgation of Order No. 202, regulating the tak- ing of oysters from the tidelands of the state. The new regulation makes it un- lawful to take oysters for com- mercial purposes from any of the state owned tidelands and places a limit of 36 oysters or 4 pints of oyster meat for personal use on oyster gatherers. The regulation reenacts the sta- ture protecting private posted oys- ter land and prohibits the taking of oysters for any purpose from the state oyster reserves without the consent of the state. In commenting on the new reg- ulation, MoOre pointed out the fact that previous to the enactment of this order no provision was made in the law for the non-commercial gathering of oysters, Cloquallum Cloquallum Grange had elec- tion of officers at the last meet- ing of November. The officers elected were M. George Hiloboki, O. Tony Annensen, L. Marguer- ite LeGault, S. William Walks, A.S. Herb Lovgrenn, L.A.S. Ethel Johnson, Chin9. Mrs. Florence J o h n s o n, Gatekeeper Clarence Springer; Ceres, Rose Makoviney; Flora, Marly Lovgrenn; Pomona, Margaret Makovlney; 3-yr. ex. comm. man, George Johnson who was also chosen for agricultural chairman; Secretary, Fren ArmoR- sen; treasurer, Andy Walks. Of- ficers will be installed at ShelteR Valley Sunday, Dec. 14. Hope to see all of them present at the nteeting. The Christmas party held at the Priscilla Club last Wednesday was much enjoyed. Lovely hand- made gifts were exchanged and a 'lovely dinner was served by the hostesses of the day, Mrs. Sadie Eveleth and Mrs. Davis.
