                CONGRATULATIONS MR. AND MRS. JOHN MALONE

                                 ______


                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 6, 1996

  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor a 
very special couple, Mr. and Mrs. John Malone, formerly of Elizabeth, 
NJ. On Sunday, June 23, 1996, John and Elizabeth Malone will celebrate 
their fiftieth wedding anniversary by renewing their wedding vows at 
St. Walburga Monastery in Elizabeth, NJ.
  John Malone served the city of Elizabeth for 36 years as a 
firefighter before retiring from the force in 1985. Elizabeth Malone 
worked

with the telephone company before retiring in 1986. This couple managed 
to raise four children in the process, who have since given them six 
grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my feeling that we can all look to this couple for 
inspiration. In a time when divorce rates are astoundingly high and 
society is suffering as a result of this, the Malones have shown us 
that it is possible for married partners to sustain their respective 
careers, raise a family and remain happily committed to each other. I 
wish them many more years of happiness.
