Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • The notice appears in the "From The Court House" column under "Marriage Licenses."
  • Local OCR is noisy because of the narrow newspaper columns, but the page image is readable and the WCDPL search snippet preserves the Ponceby hit.
  • This newspaper notice supplies public license context only; the Wood County probate marriage record remains the stronger source for the 24 April 1948 marriage event.

Post To Honor  
House Probe Body
_____ 1
MILWAUKEE, Wis — The 
World War II Women’s Post 4481  
of The American Legion of Mil­
waukee, will hold a testimonial 
dinner on May 26 to celebrate the 
tenth anniversary of the House 
Committee on Un-American Ac­
tivities. v.
Miss Cecilia A. Stankiewicz, 
commander of the post said she 
hoped other American Legion 
posts would see fit to honor this 
Congressional committee which 
“took it on the chin for ten years 
until internal treachery became 
unpopular in»America”
The House Committee on Un- 
American activities came into 
being in 1938 largely as the result 
of a resolution adopted by the 19th 
national convention of The Amer­
ican Legion in New York City in 
1937 The committee recently was 
granted another $ 200,000 fund by 
a house vote of 337 to 37 to con- i 
tinue its work. 1•____________________1
