almost became rooted in Baltimore where his ship landed him in 1884. If he hadn't found his way to Brooklyn where his sweetheart, Mary Kombkowska met him in 1885 the Baltimore papers might be running this story or one like it.

Mr. Konchell Sr. was 77 last week. He is hale and hearty in his retirement from active life practically all of which was spent with the Barrett Manufacturing Company. Mrs.

Konchell looks forward to her 77th birthday next November. And although cakes with anniversary candles become more and more unpoular the older we grow the three-foot wedding cake with its ornamental gold bell and symbolic "50" baked and presented to the beaming couple by Mrs. Felix Skelly of Bay Ridge was the feathe occasion. "Three Children for Happiness Three children add to the happiness of the Konchells' golden years. There is our Eagle compositor, "Joe," with his 27 years in the composing room broken only by months in France with the 7th Machine Gun Battalion, 3d Division, A.

E. F. He has five major engagements to his credit and was one of the last to return to his job from over seas. In his family are the three Konchell granddaughters, Florence, Dolores and Eleanor. One daughtr, Blanche, now Mrs.

Stanley Slomski, has added a grandson, Stanley to the family, while another, Sophia, employed by the New York Telephone Company, lives with her parents. The 50th wedding anniversary ceremony was read over the Konchells at their home by the Rev. Francis J. Szczechowlak of St. Cyril Methodius Church, Greenpoint, while masses in their honor were celebrated throughout Brooklyn diocese.

There is indeed a close bond between church and home. And added to the joy of the jubilee were scores of telegrams and gifts from their many friends for which both Mr. and Mrs. Konchell Sr. are deeply grateful.

W. Sidney of Brooklyn has been spending a few days at the Barclay in Philadelphia, Manor Hotel, where they were staying, recognized the importance of the occasion. That night they shared a tremendous cake presented by the hotel with all the diners. "Fact is," said Mr. Callard, "we just managed to save a tiny plece for ourselves." And Jig was Up After dinner the and played "When You and I Were Young Maggie" and then the jig was up.

A reporter of the Atlantic City Press "spilled the in print and their nine-day was a round beanstay of congratulations and good times. The Atlantic City reporter made roses Mr. Callard's hobby. Visiting in their hotel room she was much impressed by the heaps of roses for which the hotel management had searched high and low to provide vases. "Or are they 'vases'?" Mr.

Callard, broadening the laughed, like this: Pronounciation conveys Our meaning--for instance take "vase," In British bazars We hear it called "vase," No doubt it holds water both ways. "Veyses" or "vaarses," Mr. Callard does raise roses, has many Varieties in his garden. But his real hobby is clippings. He started his that filled volumes and first scrapbook, Jan.

20, 1879. Since The Eagle is one of his favorite sources. "I don't always agree with The Eagle's policies," said Mr. Callard, "but I've read it and clipped from it for 60 years. I certainly admire its stand on the Supreme Court issue.

It isn't so much the change I object to as the method attempted." McKinley Man William McKinley and are Mr. Callard's Presidential idols. He turned proudly to a thick volume filled with news items and pictures about McKinley. "I wrote to branch offices of my firm all over the country for newspapers at the time of his untimely death. Practically every paper worth while is represented here," he said.

Mr. Callard rose from the ranks. Starting to work at 13 he eventually landed a job with the HolmesCoutts Biscuit Company on Grand Manhattan. This was the cuit Company from which he was retired in 1929 after, 50 years of continuous service. From A mere "bo yabout the place" he became superintendent and later purchaser of machines and mechanical equipment.

Organied Biscuit Men In the early 90's he organized the National Biscuit Employes Association in which membership was voluntary, leaving strictly to the individual the protection of his job and his future. Due to the eX- pansion of the company and the influx of foreign labor the association was disbanded in 1901. A hand-lettered scroll was presented to its founder in recognition of his services. The Callards are both of English stock. The Callards' only daughter is Mrs.

And hanging on the wall of his den is a framed "Sampler" woven in silk by his sister symbolizing all the degrees in Masonry. It is an exquisite piece of which he is justifiably proud. TEA FOR COMMITTEE FOR DANCE MAY 15 AST month at the Hotel Astor the Drama Comedy-New Yorkers Club founded by Miss Edyth Totten held its 20th anniversary banquet.

That sounds like old news. What makes it news is that the announcement of one of its charter members' 50th wedding anniversary planned for the occasion was never made. Mrs. Harry ting (the charter member), drew a sigh of relief when the entertainment, started announcement full tilt, about to forestalling be made, for she has always shunned publicity. That's why she and Mr.

Prutting celebrated quietly with just a select few last Thanksgiving Day at the Traymore Inn, Brooklyn. Chatting with Mrs. Prutting before a meeting of the Protestant Big Sisters Council I was impressed by her genuineness and kindliness. All her life she has gone out of her way to help others. That's how she happened to be attending that meeting.

Another of her groups in which she is active is the Loyal Workers. And within her own parish the Evangel Congregational Church of Brooklyn she is an indefatigable workers. The Pruttings were married In Brooklyn on Thanksgiving Day 1886. For the past 35 years they have lived at 302 Lincoln Road, Flatbush. Mr.

Prutting prefers to remain in the background. He has been retired for seven years now from active business. He is A life member of the Montauk Lodge of Masons in Brooklyn. of Colonial Stock Both Mr. and Mrs.

Prutting trace their lineage back to Colonial days in Connecticut. Hartford was their birthplace. And as Mrs. Prutting narrated her experiences in Germany at the outbreak of the World War I could think of no better caption than "A Connecticut Yankee in the Kaiser's Court." Mark Twain would have made yarn of her finding the over -wrought English traveler's bag in the busaling "Bahnhof" in Berlin, of her stormy crossing of the mine-infested channel to Liverpool and of her worried scanning of the Atlantic's horizon for periscopes. She made A more pleasurable trip to Eruope in the Summer of 1930 company with other Brooklyn members of the Drama Comedy Club under the expert guidance of Miss Totten.

Mrs. Prutting made many public appearances as A singer and 1s An accomplished pianist. One of her greatest joys now is teaching young children in her neighborhood the intricacies of the piano. And though she has had no children of her own she has mothered many when they were deprived of a real mother's care and love. The Callards Tuesday, Feb.

23, marked the first anniversary of the Golden Years for Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Callard of 323 E. 25th St. They were married at 126 E.

128th Manhattan. on Feb. 24, 1886. He WAS 25 then, the comely bride, Miss Mary Kirkham. 23.

"And." chuckled Mr. Callard. "outside of throwing a few dishes once in a while here we are." A year ago the Callards skipped off to Atlantic City to celebrate their Golden Anniversary in quiet. But it was not to be. Telegrams, cards and flowers poured in to them The manager of the Colton A Loyal Worker Miss Marie Frugone, chairman of the women's committee for the benefit dance by the Italian-American Committee of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities, will entertain the members of her group at a teameeting Wednesday in the auditorium of the Bureau at 285 Schermerhorn St.
