Therefore be it restlved that the Alberta Provincial Government lend their full supp— ort in rebutting any further proposals of elevator and/dr rail line abandonment,- Magrath and District Chamber of Commerce. ••.**.*• A Lovely wedding was solemnized in the Alberta Temple, Cardston, Saturday, February 17th at 10 A.M* when Bonny JaLeine, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. S* C.
