children.
THE BEAUTIFUL tiered wed-
ding cake was baked by Mrs. Sar-
ah Tschida and Mrs Winnie Pet-
erson. A very brave looking bride
and groom stood on top, beside the
inscription written out in gold col-
ored frosting, "Golden Wedding,
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Okonek, 1897-
1947."
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.
Winnie Peterson had charge of
the punch bowl, Millie Rauschert
took care of the guest book; 60
guests registered their names.
Mary Nelson served the ice cream
and Sarah Tschida poured the cof-
fee.

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.

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,
