The wedding was solemnized in Wil- mette, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Leonard Roche. Construction of Sewer Causes Service Break A break in the water main on Indian Hill road, south of Hill road, occurred Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock, caused by adjacent construction work by the Sanitary district of Chicago. Workmen are constructing a large intercepting sewer by tunneling through the Indian Hill district. By closng valves and shutting off the water service in this immediate district, Harold Bohnen, superintendent of the Winnetka electric and water distribu- tion and his men were able to make the repairs by 9 o'clock that night, when service, generally was restored. Full service was resumed by 8 o'clock the following morning.

Miss Dorothy Steele of Glencoe is in charge of arrangements for the evening, which include music by Bill Donahue and his Champaign College Hall or- chestra.
