Last Sunday 'W went to the Rosette-Leonard wedding and enjoyed the results of the Leonard's efforts to make their daughter's wedding something to be remembered, particularly from the standpoint of the flowers. Mrs. Leonard had designed and made what she calls "peony trees" tall standards topped with several large peonies, the re suit resembling the tree roses in full bloom. The peony trees in the church were white, and those in the reception hall were rose pink. And as for the bride's bouquet it was enough to take the breath away. For years, said Mrs. L., she'd been wanting to dream up the last word in wedding bouquets, and what better opportunity than for her own daughter? So she used a couple of dozen of white butterfly orchids, centered it with a large white orchid and filled in the background with lily-of-the-valley. She finished it with a cascade of ribbon and blossoms which reached to the bottom of the bride's dress and there it was, a bride's bou quet to literally dream about. Dr. Fred Lorish took almost as many pictures during the wed ding as did Photographer Carl Landis, but at that, he missed one which he was supposed to take. The Lorishes daughter, Mary Lee, was flower girl and the doctor had been instructed to sneak a shot of his daughter coming down the aisle with her basket of petals, but he didn't get organized in time. Potpourri feasted on flowers again Monday, but this time it was wild flowers. Taking advantage of the half-holiday from work, the two of us drove up into the hills, going up Griffin Creek, through the Little Applegate valley and then way up to the top of Anderson to the lookout station. And almost every foot of tht way there were wild flowers dainty little beige colored iris, pretty wild pinks, mouse ears, two or three kinds of yellow daisy; like blossoms, a few late yellow violets, a very few precious little lavender orchids, both yellow and blue lupine, masses of purple larkspur, the lavender rock phlox and dozens of others. In the canyon leading down into Talent the road was lined with dogwood in full bloom and the day's bag of memories also includes the sight of three does, bounding across the road and up the hill, a few squirrels and chipmunks and a lone jack rabbit. Biggest thrill of the day of road-side seeing was the finding of three stalks of the rare, to use anyway, wild flower which FB of Jacksonville calls red bells. These orange-red bells, speckled in' side, bloom at the top of a foot-high slender stalk which has a few carnation-like leaves, and so far we have not found them in our wild flower book. Wednesday we discovered we've been missing something in iris. At the show of the Southern Oregon Iris society our two eyes just popped out and stayed. We used up all our adjectives on the gorgeous yellows, bronzes and creamy shades and then when we discovered the new apricot and peach colored beauties, there weren't any words left. There's hardly an inch of space left in Portpourri's garden, so we're just going to throw out some of the older iris and buy some new ones. We discovered something new in beverages 'earlier that day, too. It's a tomato buttermilk cocktail, which we sampled at the June is Dairy Month show. It's made with equal parts of toma to juice and buttermilk seasoned with salt, pepper and Worcester shire sauce. If you don't like the sound of tomato juice and buttermilk together, try a purple cow. This concoction is made with vanilla ice cream, milk and frozen grape juice concentrate. The poet who wrote the ditty about never wanting to see a purple cow wasn't at the show, for there was a purple cow pictured on the wall, as big as John Snider's Little Daisy and twice as gaudy. Like many other educators at this time of the year, Clyde F, Sutherland was handing out advice to graduates last week. Mr. Sutherland, superintendent of Jacksonville schools, talked for the eighth grade class graduation and said, among other things, that grades aren't the most important accomplishment of a student, Mr. Sutherland stressed the importance of everyone enlarging his interests and activities in order to have a full life. As people grow older, the superintendent explained, interests tend to narrow and if they are limited to begin with, later life may be pretty dull and dreary. Grades are forgotten in years to come, said Mr. S., but the "outside interests" enrich daily living and make life more enjoy able. Thursday night when Superintendent Sutherland assisted at the high school graduation ceremonies, he had the pleasure of pre senting his daughter, Sydney Kay Sutherland, a $300 Elk Lumber company award. Sydney Kay will attend Lewis and Clark college in the fall. Lester A. Kirkendall, OSC professor and president of the Pacific Northwest Council on Family Relations, says high school students shouldn't get married.. Mr. Kirkendall, writing recently for the national PTA magazine, says the majority of high school students who get married do so "as an escape from an unhappy home, from failure, or from unhappiness and frustration in school." He added that teachers and married students have told him that "sheer curiosity about sex is probably another, important factor." A few high school young people are emotionally mature and prepared.for marriage, according to the professor, but the majority of them are not. He advises parents to talk with their children as freely and objectively as possible about the responsibilities of marriage and family life. "It is only good common sense to launch these discussions long before people are deeply involved emotional ly," he said. "A straightforward talk about sex in courtship and marriage can have a wholesome effect." Surveys show that the early marriages occur among rich and poor students alike, children of all occupation groups and young people of every rank in school achievement and citizenship. Mrs. John Ousterhout and Mrs. Don Minear, in whose farm homes two Burmese are living this month on an exchange pro gram, are learning a little about Burmese cookery. The Burmese are fond of curry powder as a seasoning, so both women have been trying it out with considerable success. Having supposed that curry was the product of one plant, or pod or seed, not long ago we read with interest that it is a blend of 16 different spices. This includes turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cayenne pepper, powdered cloves, powdered caraway seeds, pow dered cardamon and powdered coriander seeds. We've learned from Ko Tun Oo and Maung Thein Nyun that Burmese children drink a lot of milk but that adults probably drink less than adults in the United States, that few Burmese adults indulge in alcoholic beverages, that they use white flour for bread and eat polished rice. Maung Thein 'Nyun stated that in his country, as in this nation, many nutritionists are en deavoring to change the food habits of the people and are en couraging them to use whole grain four and unpolished rice. O.S. New Presbyterian Minister at Phoenix Phoenix The Rev. Ernest R. Volkman, new pastor of the Phoenix Presbyterian church, will present his first sermon Sunday morning, according to members of the congregation. The Rev. Mr. Volkman, who has been attending the Univer sity of California at Berkeley, arrived in Phoenix Wednesday. He was accompanied by his wife and two sons. Daily vacation Bible school will start at the church on Monday at 9 a.m. and classes will be held each day during the coming week.
