Styles in bride's gowns may
change from year to year, but
for the most part, tradition and
convention play a great part in
weddings. The traditional bride's
gown is of white, and of course,
there must be the something old,
something new, something bor
rowed and something blue. Many
a bride wears a penny in her
shoe, she cuts-the first slice of
the wedding cake, feeding it to
her new husband (one of these
days we must take time to find
out where all these traditions
started) and she throws her bou
quet to her attendants, tradition
having it that whoever catches
the flowers will be the next mar
ried.
At two recent Medford wed
dings the custom of drinking a
toast was observed, with the
bride and bridegroom then
breaking their glasses. At the
weddings of Dixie Coutts to
James Edwards Jr., and Mar
garet Ruth McCormick to Ray
Donald Bostwick, both couples
drank the traditional champagne
toast and then struck the glasses
together, shattering them to bits.
At both receptions there was
also dancing, with the newly-
wed couples having the tradi
tional first dance together.
It's also the bride's privilege
to introduce some new ideas at
her wedding. Miss Coutts' wed
ding hose had the ankles dec
orated with tiny seed pearls,
and her attendants wore on their
slippers miniature nosegays
which matched those they car
ried. At the Bostwick-McCor-
mick reception the bride, who
has a high sense of humor, in
troduced a new note by declar-
ine she would auction her bou
quet, instead of just throwing
it to one of her attendants.
The wedding of June Bos;
worth to William George Hughes
was not only filled with the
traditional touches, but brought
a note of sentiment and nostal
gia to many of the guests since
the bride's parents have Uvea
here and in Klamath Falls since
their wedding and many of the
wedding guests have known the
bride since babyhood.
The reception brought back
many memories to Mrs. Robert
Hart, for her marriage to tne
late Mr. Hart took place in the
garden at 211 Genessee street
where the Hughes-Bosworth re
ception was held last Sunday.
Mrs. Hart, whose marriage was
held 22 years ago this month,
(June 30) then lived next door
with her parents, Mrs. Eugene
N. Vilm and the late Mr. Vilm.
The ceremony was performed
by Father Hamilton, for many
years the beloved rector of St.
Mark's Episcopal church.
The house and garden at 211
Genessee street were then own
ed bv Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
Swigert, who now live in " El
Monte, Calif. Mrs. Swigert had
planned the garden with great
care, not only laying it out but
working out a color scheme for
the border? and beds, and smce
that time it has been one of the
show places of the city. Mr. and
Mrs. O. A. Eden, the present
owners, lavish much time and
care on the garden, and gener
ously allow friends and groups
to use it for picnics, parties and
other gatherings.
Mrs. Eden reminded us that

the house is rather an old one-re-done
by the Swigerts and sub
sequent owners, and she called
attention to the huge poplar
tree growing at the edge of the
front lawn. The tree bears many
sets of initials, carved by mis-
chevious boys and love-struck
young men, and these, enlarged
and distorted by time and the
tree's growth, can now be seen
high up the trunk. At one time
there was a twin popular, but
disease forced the Edens td cut
the second one down.
The new Mrs. Hughes will
have one rather unusual wed
ding present. Her brother, Bob,
student artist, began a portrait
of his sister in her wedding
dress during the days which pre
ceded the wedding and when
completed, it is to be her wed
wing present from him.
The bride's mother contribu
ted one special touch to the
wedding. Mrs. Bosworth has
pretty decided ideas about what
constitutes good food, and she
disapproves of the beautiful
bride's cakes, made with white
flour and white sugar. So Mrs.
B. sent to California for special
fruit, candied it herself, and la
ter made it into a huge bride
groom's cake, using whole wheat
flour and raw sugar, all filled
with lots of vitamins and other
good nourishing elements. This
was then served, along with the
usual white bride's cake.
There was an air of genuine
happiness and friendliness pre
vailing at the Hughes-Bosworth
wedding and reception that can
not always be found at modern
weddings, beautiful and gay
though they may be.
One could not say of this wed
ding and reception, as one Med
ford woman recently remarked,
"modern weddings are getting
to be too much like something
a Hollywood mortician would
dream up."
A recent story from San An
tonio, Texas, told how "for the
first time in American educa
tional history an entire univers
ity with over 2300 students was
moved, lock stock and barrel,
to a new campus, five miles
away, between dawn and sun
set." It was Trinity university,
San Antonio.
The realese told how 500 stu
dents, faculty members and al
umni pitched in to load a half
hundred vans, trucks and trail
mobiles, then raced to the new
campus ahead of the caravan
to be there for the unloading.
An honorary "degree" of
"Doctor of Moving" was solemn
ly conferred by Jack Stotts,
president of the Trinity student
body, on T. W. Longino, presi
dent of the San Antonio Assoc
iation of Motor Carriers, under
whose leadership 45,000 books,
1,600 chairs, 20 couches, 160
tables, 115 office desks, five
safes, 100 filing cases, 100 book
cases, 50 steel lockers and many
other similar items had been
moved to their new home," the
story related.
A letter from Mrs. I. V. Coz
ine, 136 Portland avenue, was
prompted by recent articles in
The MT about the metasequoia
tree. Mrs. Coine says she has
growing in her yard "tallow
trees" -raised from seed. These

Children's Treasures
Not 'Junk' to Them
Says Child Specialist
Children, particularly boys,
love to keep anything from a
rock to a rumpled-up picture
from an old magazine. Then,
when mother cleans house, out
they go, under loud protest.
Though it goes against house
wifely instincts, it is better to let
the youngsters keep their trea
sures, advises Tom Poff enberger,
extension family relations sper
cialist at Oregon State college.
What seems to be junk to an
adult may be full of value or
usefulness to a child. And even
if it is not useful, the feeling he
has about it is important enough
to warrant keeping hands off.
Instead, help him develop neat
habits by providing chests, deep
closets, or other places where he
can keep his belongings. Even if
the articles are piled in, they're
still out of sight and the room
is neat when he finishes playing.
If the room gets too crowded,
let him decide what must go,
and let him do the throwing-out
himself. If a child feels a room
is his to care for, and his pos
sessions will be respected, he
will be more apt to keep the
room neat and orderly.
so-called tallow trees are native
to China, also, Mrs. Cozine says,
and were called so because the
seeds yield a tallow-like sub
stance and the bark a wax.

Both Colonel and Mrs. Wil
liam Woodford, who at one time
lived in Medford, were in the
office last week for brief visits.
The Woodfords now live at an
army post in Oklahoma, and
both had a few unkind things to
say about the Oklahoma climate,
as compared to southern Oregon.
The colonel told how terrible
the dust storms can be, while
Mrs. Woodford described a re
cent Oklahoma hail storm. The
hail jstones were so large, said
Mrs. W., that windows were
broken out of public buildings
and as she watched, they went
right through the cloth top of a
convertible automobile, parked
in front of the building where
she had taken refuge. (Mrs.
Woodford cupped her hands to
show how big the stones were,
measuring something about the
size of a baseball). She ended
her story with a shudder and
the hearty wish that the family
could return to Medford some
time to live. O.S.
