BEWARE OF IMITATIONS LOOK fOH THE I, HAPPY UTTU DOG IPtfraDimiriri June not only brings many weddings it also brings out the usual rash of statistics about wedding traditions and information about quaint customs in other lands. For instance, the jewelry industry put out a release not long ago about wedding rings how cavemen made rings of woven rushes and grass which the bride wore around her wrists and ankles to denote that she was her mate's property. It Is thought bone was the next material used in making wedding rings, and that ivory, flint, bronze, iron, brass, copper and silver have all been used. Gold rings were first introduced by ancient Egyptians, who are also credited with the romantic theory that the circle symbolizes eternal marital bliss because it has no beginning or ending. . . '. . Equally romantic was a 17th century belief that started the custom of wearing a wedding ring on the. third finger of the left hand. The popular notion then was that a vein in that finger led directly to the heart. But medical men later threw cold water on the belief, saying that each finger on both hands has a vein run ning to the heart. Somehow Potpourri always had the notion that people in this nation tended to be more extravagent about weddings than others But we read a recent article which said that in India, families feel it is absolutely necessary to be lavish with weddings Accord ing to the writer, a father in India earning but $60 a month might spend as much as $500 on a wedding; if he earned 500 a month, about $2,000 on his daughter's wedding. ' ' ? Tradition seems to play a large part in weddings in all nations In Medford, Mrs. W. J. Warner's heirloom cake knife has been used by scores of brides. Last Sunday it was used to cut the cake at the wedding of Jean Kyle and Donald Gardner; in recent years it had also been used to cut the cakes when Jean's two brothers Robert Jr., and Richard, were married. All three of the Kyles were married in First Methodist church here, also. All church weddings may follow the same pattern, but the brides and bridegrooms and the ministers all add their indivi dual touches. When Norma Leonard was married to Marvin Rosette of Medford, the bridegroom came out to meet his bride when the wedding march started, and spying his mother, waved at her and said in a stage whisper, "Hi, mom. The society editor and an unknown linotype operator owe that same mom an apology. The copy proves that the society editor described her gown and flowers, but the typesetter just quit in the middle of the paragraph, after describing Mrs. Leonard's gown, and the story was published that way. Very embarassing, . Jerilyn Smith added a humorous note to the Kyle Gardner wedding with her arm cast. Jerilyn broke her arm just before leaving for Salem to visit her sister and while there, heard the famous Duke Ellington playi So now she is showing everyone the Duke's autograph on the cast. When the doctor removes the cast, he is to be given strict instructions to preserve that part of the plaster. The National Father's day committee has drafted a Father's Decalogue which we are pleased to pass along. It reads: 1 Your sense of brotherhood instills in your child respect for his fellow man; 2 Your fairness teaches him good sportsmanship in work and play; 3 Your example instills in him an appreciation of the family spirit, the true backbone of society; 4 Your companionship creates a basis for mutual understanding and makes a pal of him; 5 Your teaching imparts a desire to love, honor and obey his country's laws; 6 Your encouragement helps him to apply him' self to difficult tasks; 7 Your leadership in community affairs teaches the importance of local participation in government; 8 Your self-reliance helps develop an independent spirit; encourages do-it-yourself activities; 9 Your foresight in preparing for future security develops responsibility in him; 10 Your guidance pre pares him for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship in a free society. Potpourri buzzed over to Ashland Thursday night for the annual casting party which Tudor guild gives for the Shakespear ean festival company. Even though we had edited a story about the party, and had a notice in the calendar, we went to the wrong building and found no one there. Since the Women's Civic clubhouse, where the party was held last year, was empty, we decided the other logical place for the event would be Trinity Guild hall, but had forgotten the street. So we asked an Ashland policeman where the Episcopal church was located. The policeman had to look in the telephone book for the information, and didn't even know that the church's name is Trinity. "There's a lot of churches in Ashland," he explained, "and I just can t remember which is which." We were delighted to have our actor friends, Bill Oyler and Paul Kliss, assigned to us as guests, and at table sat across from Judges Rawles Moore and Mrs. Moore. The judge had fun twitting Potpourri about her journalistic endeavors and finally said "Quick, tell me something interesting to say so you can quote me." Potpourri went to the rose show meaning to stay 20 minutes and ended up by staying an hour. Now we're determined to buy some more roses and spray more and prune more scientifically and try to raise a prize-winning rose. (Pappy says the only thing we might win a prize on would be the grass which flourishes better in the flower beds than do the flowers). The rose society members were jubilant over the quality and number of entries, and the interest evidenced in the first show. More than 700 attended, and the guest book shows many visitors from other states as well as local residents. The Ranald Axtells of Trail provided a wishing well for the show. This was set up outside the entrance and hung with little signs in verse which invited visitors to drog in their pennies and dimes. One small boy, peering over the side, saw a Canadian penny. Letting his collecting instincts overcome his wisdom, the youngster quickly climbed over and snitched the penny from the pan of water filled with coins. Alas and alack he couldn't get out again and had to be rescued by show workers who lectured him but smiled on the other side of their faces. O.S. A Tribute to Fathers! Swy .
