    • Bombadier Clayfield Weds Miss Burger at Petawawa

      The altar at St. John's Lutheran church, Petawawa, was banked with asters, gladioli and dahlias, arranged against a background of ferns, for the wedding at eight o'clock last evening of Miss Earla Elsie Burger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred F. Burger of Petawawa to Bombadier Donald A. Clayfield, R.C.R., of Petawawa, son of Mr. and Mrs. B.A. Clayfield Ezra avenue, Waterloo.

      Rev. J.L. Kirchofer, the pastor of the church, officiated. Mrs. Kirchofer was at the organ. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a floor-length gown of white triple sheer crepe with moulded shirred bodice with sweetheart neckline, puffed sleeves and long full skirt. Her bridal veil was of silk net worn with a coronet of pink rosebuds and she carried a bouquet of pink rosebuds, white chrysanthemums and ferns.

      She was attended by her only sister, Miss Kreena Burger, wearing a floor-length gown of blue net over taffeta with moulded and shirred bodice fashioned of silver cloth mottled with pink and pale blue. With this she wore an ice blue silk net headdress, outlined with pink rosebuds and she carried a green muff showered with roses and fern.

      Little Miss Betty Rowe was flower girl in a frock of pink angel skin rayon with pink ribbon bow in her hair. She carried a pink and blue basket filled with tiny flowers. The bride's little brother, Leonard Burger, wearing a miniature uniform of khaki was ring-bearer. He carried a small satin cushion trimmed with red, white and blue ribbons to which the wedding ring was attached. During the signing of the register Mrs. Kirchofer sang "Because."

      After the ceremony a wedding supper served at the home of the bride's parents. The bride's table was decorated in pink and white graced with autumn flowers, lighted with pink and white candles and centered with a wedding cake. Among the 200 guests were 40 officers and men of the M.T. wing, A 2-C A.T.C.

      After the reception the bride and bridegroom left to spend their honeymoon in Waterloo, at the home of the bridegroom's parents. The bride wore for travelling a harvest wine silk chiffon sheer with slate gray wool flannel sport jacket and wine hat. After their honeymoon, the bride and bridegroom will return to Petawawa where they will reside for the present.
