Couple Plans Anniversary Observation

Chattanooga (Special) -- Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Shively, former Chattanooga residents now living in Dallas, Tex., will observe their Golden Wedding anniversary Sunday.  No reception is planned because of Mr. Shively's health.

The family requests that no gifts be sent, but a daughter-in-law, Mrs. H. R. Shively Jr., hopes relatives and friends in the Lawton, Chattanooga and surrounding areas will send cards and snapshots to the couple.

"I want to compile them in a scrapbook in memory of the anniversary," Mrs. Shively explained. "If possible, we would appreciate the snapshots being enlarged prints, for Mr. Shively does not have good vision now, and he can see only the larger prints".

The couple's address is 2932 Anniversary Park, Dallas.

Mr. Shively was cashier of the First National bank in Chattanooga when the bank was organized.  Mrs. Shively, the former Miss Anna Potter, taught in the Chattanooga schools.
