The marriage of a very popullar young Te Awamutu lady, Miss Muriel Josephine (Babs) Walter, only daughter to-f Mr Mrs Arthur Walter, of Te Rahu Road, attracted a great deal of interest last Saturday, and St. John's Church, which had been prettily decorated for thsf occasion with pink roses and apple blossom, was crowded. The bridegroom was Harold Churton von Sturmer, second son of Mrs and the late Mr W. N. O. von Sturmer, Of Mount Eden, Auckland, and formerly of Te Awamutu. The ceremony was performed by flhq vicar, the Rev. R. H.
