WALTER - OLEWINE

  At a pretty late-summer wedding in the Bell Avenue Baptist church Friday, 
Sept. 11, at 6:45 p.m., Miss Lois Mae Olewine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Harry S. Olewine of 209 South Second street, became the bride of Mr. Howard 
Ross Walter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Walter of 2124 Eighth avenue, with 
Rev. Robert E. Crawford, pastor of the church, officiating and using the 
single ring ceremony.  The church was beautifully decorated with a large 
basket of gladioli, palms, cut flowers and asters and the ceremony was 
performed against a candle-lit background.  Music included the traditional 
processional and recessional wedding marches played by Mrs. Crawford on the 
piano and vocal solos by Mrs. James T. Maurer, "The Sunshine of Your Smile," 
"Because," and a special adaptation of "Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us." 
accompanied by Mrs. Crawford.  The bride, given in marriage by her father, 
was charming in a salute blue dress with navy blue accessories and hat and a 
corsage of pink roses.  Her maid of honor, Miss Evelyn Sickles, was lovely 
in a soldier blue suit with black accessories.  The best man was Mr. Harry 
J. Olewine, jr., brother of the bride, and ushers were Messrs. Edwin Way and 
James Meck.  The bride's mother chose a dark brown dress with brown 
accessories and a yellow rose corsage and the bridegroom's mother selected a 
blue street dress with a deep red corsage.  A reception was held in the 
church fellowship room which was decorated with garden flowers.  Both the 
bride and bridegroom are graduates of Altoona High school, the bridegroom in 
1939 and the bride in 1942.  Mr. Walter is employed in the shops of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad company.
