ANNotations .... Post-Faster Prattle By ANN CONNgLL . Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Wed., Apr. 13, 1955 'AiyjCZf Qy :: : : 'Buddha' Talk WELL, EASTER'S OVER and the last Easter egg chopped Into egg sauce to go with the leftover ham that's almost eaten, w e weakened again, as usual, on dveing eggs .... bought them, and dyes, on the way hnife alter work Saturday brought up the iidiiuttu-sa tups irom me Dascment cupboard where they've been since last Easter at 11:30 p.m. We remember we said last year, too, we "simply wouldn't dye an egg!" We should know by now that we'll always dye eggs, as we've been doing for nearly 50 years, as long as there's a youngster to dye them for ... . nd if there were none (may we never see the day!) I guess we'd do them in memory of the ones we've known. THE FOUR YOUNGSTERS of Clan Mae- Dhu hid the eggs in the attic until they tired of that; then ale it iew. loo soon anor dinner tor many. They found interest in our new grandmother's bracelet (which was the only thing we w bought new for Easter, and no wonder! It cost the price of two " or three new hats . . . .) and each boy must see the medallion which bore his name engraved (at 12c per letter, ochone!) and his birth date. Seven of them these and their cousins, and all round ones, for boys. They're heart-shaped for girls, we hear we wouldn't know. MOST INCONGRUOUS THING seen at Easter was a white poker chip left lying on the floor in a rear pew of church. How ever, we understood that's where the babies were thickest, and infants have a natural affinity for poker chips, we've noticed. (Poor Molly-O! She had to stand and hold small, wriggly Shawn een, the other three milling about. Bet she could have used a poker chip!) , SIRS. JESSIE FROSSER STEWART, regent of Oregon Lewis and Clark Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will leave Thursday for Washington, D.C., to attend the national Continental Congress of DAR. Miss Gertrude Caraway, President General, who visited the Oregon conference in Portland in Febru ary, will conduct the business meetings. High point socially of the week-long convention, April 17-22, will be the formal dinner on Friday evening. President and Mrs. Eisenhower both are to make appearance at the Congress. Mrs. Eisenhower will attend as a member of the DAR. After the sessions end, Mrs. Stewart will visit at the home of her sister Lila, Mrs. Albert Edward Kennedy, in Philadelphia; go south to visit her brother. Dr. William 0. H. Prosser, in Shreve T port, La., and then to Miami, to spend some time with a child hood friend. She will be away about three weeks, during which time Mrs. Elizabeth Romane will be in charge of her home in Eu gene. NOW, WASN'T IT NICE that Mrs. Raymond McGaffey won the grand prize sewing machine in the Teen Fashion Model Sew ing contest at the Bon! She's been sewing since 7th grade days in school, and since her marriage has been using a 50-year-old ma chine borrowed from her mother-in-law, Mrs. Earl R. McGaffey. She sewed on it for her daughters, Marilyn, 7, and Cheryl, 2Vi, as well as for herself. The suit she made and modeled was of textured silk and rayon in pink, worn with a white halter blouse; her white straw hat had a matching pink cord and a cluster of pink roses at the back. Grace Kelly wore a similar suit in "Rear Window," and both Pat and her husband liked it. He suggested she copy it, and he chose the material. She bought three patterns, to get the fea tures she wanted. A representative of the sewing-machine com pany came out to show her how it works, but she had beaten him to it; she hid sat down with the instruction book the night before and figured it out for herself. The other winners, modeling costumes they had made, were Miss Lorctta Longcoy, 16, Rte. 2, Eugene, 13-16 years group for light blue flannel suit, prize of a dresslcngth; and Mrs. L. W. Stevens, Star Route, Box 326, 17 years and over, for white but cher linen dress with black bolero, prize of a new hat. FOR YEARS we've grumbled at bus service, as it grew worse and worse on our route, University Loop. We threw up our hands 4j and howled when we heard that University Loop would he out entirely with the latest change. Well! Apologies to the bus com pany .... It's true the U-Loop is gone, but the Fairmount Loop now courses past our nearest corner, only three doors from home; and it deposits Us right across the street from our place of em ployment! We never had it so good in 14 years of bus-traipsing. . WIlMMr Enc.)
