Mr. & Mrs. John Julius Julius Couple Observes 50th
Mr. and Mrs. John Julius were guest of honor at an open house Jan. 26 in commemoration of their Golden Wedding anniversary, held at the parlors of Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Eight two guests were registered in the golden anniversary book, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ballantyne of Guthrie Center. The parlors were attractive with flowers and plants presented to the couple by friends and relatives. Mrs. Julius was wearing a corsage of yellow roses and Mr. Julius, a yellow carnation boutonniere, both gifts from their family, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Danielson, Mrs. Edna White, Mr. and Mrs. Loy Julius, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Julius and Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Eng.

A golden floral centerpiece arranged by Mrs. Clarence Eng was on the serving table from which ice cream squares, small cakes, topped with a golden "50", golden punch and other refreshments were served. "John and Mabel - 1914 - 1964" were imprinted in gold on the napkins.
Guests were greeted as they arrived by Mr. and Mrs. Dale Julius. Mrs. B. Eng was at the guest book  and Mrs. White, at the gift table. Granddaughters Mary Danielson and Jean White poured punch and coffee. Mrs. Danielson and Mrs. Darrell White were waitresses. Ushers were the couple's grandson, Morrie Danielson, Jim Danielson and Bob Danielson.

Serving in the kitchen as hostesses were Mrs. Gilbert Nielson, Mrs. Ben Adams, Mrs. John Kelley, Mrs. Laurence Lee, Mrs. Maurice Spence and Mrs. Ray Johnson.
