Williams family, and Gunther Barth, German newspaperman from Dusseldorf who is living, working and observing in the United States for a year. Both turned out to be interesting and friendly, and enriched our view- point a great deal. Miss Seki, a special student at the university, worked in the Japanese intelligence service during the latter days of world War II, and with NBC and War ner brothers during the early occupation time. We couldn't resist asking-if General Douglas MacArthur had actually been as popular in Japan as some reports indicated, and Miss Seki said ,"yes and no." He was popular with the general masses, she said, but added that the "think ing people" of the country judged the controversial gen eral more accurately. - Miss Seki also said there was no doubt that the general had been an able and "humane" oc cupation administrator. She related a story which threw a little light on the "pop ularity" report. Miss Seki told how an enterprising. American news photographer dreamed up a stunt for the general's birth day, and then took pictures. The photographer decided that he would ask one of the Japanese school teachers to take a group of Japanese children and have them wait outside General Mac- Arthur's headquarters on his birthday. When the general came out of the building, the children were to wave little American flags, sing "Happy Birthday" and generally make out that they were no end overjoyed. Miss Seki, who was probably acting as interpreter for the photographer, said the school teacher approached with the idea was considerably unhappy over the suggestion, and pointed out that after all it was January, the weather was very cold, the children might have to wait out side quite a time, since the gen eral wasn t bemg informed of the plans, and it would interrupt their school routine. However, he was prevailed upon to coop erate and the children were coached in the song, given the flags, herded out on the appoint ed day and dutifully serenaded the general, most of them not having the foggiest notion what the stunt was about. Miss Seki pointed out that the newsreel was then released, cap tioned in a fashion to indicate how the general was so popular mat Japanese : school children actually waited in the cold to wish him a happy birthday. Miss Seki .says she is finding life in this country highly inter esting, that she has found stu dents and other citizens friendly and with little prejudice "hang ing over" from the war days. Mr. Barth and Miss Seki both made many interesting compar isons of newspapers here and in their native lands. One aspect on which both remarked was that in neither Germany or Japan are there smaller dailies, such as The Medford Mail Tribune, but only very large papers published in metropolitan areas. The German reporter covers drama for his paper in Dussel dorf, and said that the best of the modern American plays are produced in the larger German cities soon after they are in this country. These have proven e tremely popular he said, with the average German playgoers preferring modern plays written by Americans to those written by their countrymen. Mr. Barth once spoke of the place of the church in Germany Drieny, and remarked that in his opinion, the average' German is influenced much less by his re ligion than are Americans; that the church in Germany is not the dominant influence that it is here. Finding the society editor and her assistant practically swamped with stories about spring weddings, the German reporter examined with interest one of the wedding information blanks used by the paper. Amazed at the detail, he quickly said "I am most glad we do' not yet adopt this custom in Ger- SEE OUR SAMPLE BOOKS. We have oa display now.

He elaborated on this by saying that weddings are not considered news in his country. It seems German papers also give little space to deaths, and in fact print little news of any kind about individuals unless they are people of the greatest im portance. If a birth or death is to be recorded in the paper, space is purchased by the family in the advertising columns (at a reduced rate). The German reporter was sur prised to find a front page story about himself in the Tribune, and is making a file of clippings of the stories about himself and those he wrote to take home. Weddings are not only news in this country, but they are fun to attend. More than one guest at the Marx-Walker wedding last Sunday spoke approvingly of the effective simplicity of the pretty pastel gowns worn by the girls in the wedding party, and others particularly enjoyed the decorations for the bride s table where literally hundreds of pur ple violets had been used. The fashion-wise femmes also bridegroom and the hat worn -by the mothers of the bride and mothers, and the hat worn by Mrs. Homer Marx was practi cally a sensation. This little cre ation was a small round hat com pletely covered wit?i well, Just about anything you could men tion. At the reception women kept following Mrs. Marx around trying to decide just what was on the hat. Mrs. Marx finally took pity on us and let us have a good look. We .saw tiny sea shells, bouquets of flowers no larger than the end of your smallest finger, rhinestones, little rosebuds that looked like cake or cookie dec oration, and very small ribbon bows and there's probably some thing we don't remember. Any how, it was a perfect dream of hat. Hand-made dolls were the sensation of the Starnes-Ander- son wedding reception. The bride's mother had dressed dolls in gowns which matched those of all the attendants. She chose dolls as nearly like the bride and her attendants, as she could find, and then made the dresses like the ones which each would wear in the wedding. The dolls were completed with matching hats, just like those worn by the girls, and little bouquets. These were used to decorate the bride's table, and were then given to the girls of the wedding party for presents. ' Mrs. Harry R. Prentice, who has been Joan Anderson's music teacher and friend for years, told how the nonchalant Joan was still at the Prentice home, where the reception was to be held, at 1:30 p.m. when the wedding was at 3 p.m. "I just knew she couldn't get dressed for a wed ding ur that time," Mrs. Prentice said with reminiscent gasps of dismany. "I just knew she couldn't I was almost afraid to look at her when the wedding party came down the aisle I thought maybe her hair wouldn't be combed Just right, or some- thing. But when i cud iook, mere she was, looking just perfect and as beautiful as could be." OJS. Former Officer Garden Federation To Speak in City Mrs. Harry O.
