LONG-DISTANCE CEREMONY
Telephone Bride of Texas
Farmer on 'Honeymoon'
Berlin, Aug. 15 (U.R) Mrs. Otto Arndt, 46, telephone bride
of a Texas farmer, began a "lonely honeymoon" Saturday.
Her husband of a day was still on his farm near Brenham,
Tex., but Mrs. Arndt's maid reported the bride seemed "very
Chappy."
The maid told callers at me
house that Mrs. Arndt would be
on her honeymoon all that after
noon.
The former Frau Margaret
Zwirner became the wife of Otto
Arndt, 61, in a marriage cere
mony performed over the long
distance telephone with Pastor
Theodore Strength, in Brenham,
officiating.
Mrj. Arndt barely remembers
her new husband
They met several years before
the war when he came to Oer
many as a tourist. His first
wife had been a girlhood friend
and they carried on a desultory
correspondence until the out
break of World War 11.
After the war, Frau Zwirner,
by then a widow, wrote to Arndt
and learned he had Become
widower. Romance blossomed
and he asked her to come to
Texas to be his wife
Frau Zwirner accepted, but
was told by the U. S. consul she
would have a long wait for
visa. As a native of East
Prusxia, now part of Poland, she
camt under the Polish quota
and might have to wait up to
three years.
Arndt arranged for the tele
phone marriage in the hope that
she could enter the United
States as a non-quota immigrant
wife of an American. The con
sul told her, however, that tele
phone marriages were not rec
ognized in the United States.
"But this is Texas, she pro
tested. "Oh, Texas," the consul said
"That may be different."
Legal or not, the ceremony
was performed. .
Mrs. Arndt is waiting for her
husband to send the marriage
certificate. She will present it
to the consul and see what hap
pens.
Mrs. Arndt, in German tradi
tion, wore a sprig of mistletoe
in her hair during the marriage
call.
After it was over, Arndt told
his bride:
"My sweet, beloved woman
love you forever."
"I love you forever also, Otto,"
replied his bride, "and I hope I
can come to you soon."
Arndt rang off. But before
his bride hung up, she received
the best wishes of long-distance
telephone operators in a dozen
cities between Berlin and Bren
ham.

Newport Road
Job Finished
Two new sections of the coast
highway north of Newport and
in Agate Beach are now com
pleted with the exception of
some maintenance on oil suriac
ing and landscapping of the isl
ands in the Agate Beach sec
tion. The projects included widen
ing of the new road stretching
north from Newport and a mile
and a quarter in Agate Beach
at an approximate cost of $325,-
000. To the Newport city lim
its the road has been made a
four-lane highway and in Agate
Beach the four-lane road is a
divided highway with elaborate
designs for the turnoffs to Agate
Brach and the lighthouse.
The new sections are connect
ed by a short and winding
stretch of the old highway
through the Monteray section
but it is expected that will be
replaced shortly.
Woody Herman and
Orchestra Tonight
Tonight will prove more than
one thing when Woody Herman
appears for a one-night stand at
the GJenwood ballroom in Sa
lem. In the event the local dance
fans turn out in full force it will
mean Salem wants the top bands
such as the other Oregon cities
have been getting, and it also
means the cry of no business in
Salem in the entertainment line
is a thing of the past.
Glen Woodry, local business
man, is going to keep a watchful
eye and in event of a success
with Woody Herman and his or
chestra, Woodry will line up a
full fall schedule of name en
tertainment. Woody Herman and his 21
musicians and entertainers will
appear on the Glenwood ball
room bandstand from 9 to 1
The admission prices will be
scaled to hit a new low for name
talent.
