Rogers-Nelson vows are said 4B Wty Atmtetmt But Sunday, January 14, 1973 Volunteers make difference By HELEN HENNESSY NEW YORK (NEA) It was remarkable that Mary Fisher ever reached fifth grade. Not that she wasn't bright. She was. But she was also more often than not absent a confirmed truant at 10. Her fifth-grade teacher was determined to find out why.

and Bobby Third of Oxford. James E. Rogers brother of the bride, was ringbearer. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore an aisle-length gown of white satin and lace. The long puffed sleeves were finished with wide cuffs, and the skirt swept into a chapel train.

Her chapel-length veil was attached to a petaled headpiece of lace, pearls and rhinestones. She carried a colonial bouquet of white carnations and blue net centered with a white orchid. A reception at the church followed the ceremony. was of white carnations. Bridesmaids were Miss Linda Rogers, sister of the bride, Miss Roxanne Nelson, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Brenda LaNee Callahan, whose powder blue gowns were designed like that of the honor attendant.

They carried bouquets of pink carnations. Betty Rogers, sister of the bride, was flower girl and was dressed in royal blue. She carried a basket of petals.

She was ashamed of her shabby clothing. Her teacher turned to the Volunteers of America for help. And it came in the form of a nearly new wardrobe for a delighted little girl. She hasn't missed a day of school since. The clothing service is among the less well-known activities of the Volunteers.

"Its goal," said General John F. McMahon, commander in chief, "is to help fight the problem of school dropouts, to make it more readily possible for girls and boys to acquire the education they need so badly." From its national headquarters in New York City, General McMahon directs 650 program centers throughout the nation. Each year the organization, which was founded in 1896, gives spirtual and material aid to more than two million people. The clothing received by Mary and so many others was collected during the Volunteer's annual salvage drives. Each spring they pick up clothing, shoes, appliances, furniture, housewares and other articles which can be cleaned and repaired and put to further use by needy families.

While they will pick up any items at the donot's convenience, many schools and clubs cooperate by setting up collection depots. Other services provided by the organization include operation of children's, old-age and maternity summer camps, day-care centers and girls' residences. The Volunteers also conduct programs to assist the handicapped, the aged, prison inmates and their families, family centers to reinforce family solidarity and recreational and counseling services designed to aid in the prevention of juvenile delinquency. President Nixon thanked the organization in these words: "None has given more direction or greater inspiration to this American legacy than the Volunteers of America. MRS.
