3-DAY MARRIAGE LAW
Baltimore Presbytery Calls Upon
Other Religious Groups to
Back Legislation.
BJ the Associattc Press.
BALTIMORE, December 9.—A pro
posal lor a three-day interval between
the issuance of marriage licenses and
performance of the marriage bore the
approval pf the 415th stated meeting
of the Balimore Presbytery today.
The Presbytery voted to ask the
Legislature to enact a lew requiring the
three-day interval, and also asked other
religious groups to back the proposed
legislation. In line with this action,
the group adopted a resolution requir
ing ministers to have notice three days
before they solemnized a wedding "ex
cept under clearly justifiable circum
stances.”
The plea to the Legislature and the
provision requiring the ministers to
have notice were proposed by the Com
mittee on Christian Education. The
committee also proposed that civil
marriages be authorized by the Legis
lature. Recent attempts to get this
bill through have been defeated.
PLAN TO SAVE REINDEER
The Government went today to the
rescue of Santa Claus’ reindeer.
The Bureau of Biological Survey
announced it had hired an expert
trapper to teach the Alaskan Eskimos
how best to catch wolves and coyotes
which have been preying on reindeer
herds..
"Reports of hundreds of reindeer
killed in one night are not uncom
mon,” the bureau said.
