Last week we learned a little about the celebration of Easter in the Greek Orthodox church from Marina Gates. When Mrs. Gates returned home after attending Easter week end services in the Greek church in Portland, she brought us a little box of Easter sweets, including a bright red Easter egg. As a small girl, Mrs. Gates says she was sorry for those who did not belong to her church, for other churches, didn't have as many religious festival days, and such good food. After sampling some of the sweets, we think she was right about the food. Marina doesn't vouch for the spelling of these, but one of the sweets she brought was bokalava, which was paper-thin layers of pastry with a mixture of honey and nuts in between, and another was coraber ras, round, crumbly cookies made with unsalted butter and al monds. Both of these were wondrously delicious. Hardly less delic ious were the coluria, little round cookies made with a hole In the middle, and Easter sweet bread. The red' Easter eggs are the most prized of all, it seems, and Mrs. G. wasn't too sure about the meaning even the older folk are a little hazy on this, she says. However, it is thought the color is symbolic of the blood of Christ. Mothers' day thought from Millicent C. Mcintosh, president of Barnard college, writing on why all girls should go to college: "Whether she recognizes it or not, the woman is important in setting the moral and spiritual tone of her family, or of the com munity in which she lives. She is responsible for training her own children and in many cases the children of other people. She must be aware of what others have thought and said about the meaning and purposes of life. It is the task of women to establish and pro tect standards, to sustain and inspire men whose immediate re sponsibility is to provide support and protection for their families." "I hope no one thinks I just spend all my time peacefully sit ting over my needlepoint," was Mrs. John Boyle's, reaction to the interesting picture Photographer Phil Brainerd took of her for to day's Mothers' day page. Matter of fact, Mrs. B. has been real busy readying her house and big garden for two benefit teas. What with the uncooperative weather, Mrs. Boyle wasn't sure the garden and flowers would be at their best. The beautiful stones in the fireplace of the Boyle's home have an interesting history. They are from the foundation of the- Old Ross home which stood on Ross lane and which was about 100 years old when Boyles built their new house on the site. Since there weren't quite enough of the old stones, originally quarried near Jacksonville, Mr. Boyle brought some from the Umpqua river district which are almost an exact match and used them for the outside of the chimney. When the hostesses at a money-raising coffee party given by two Republican women last Monday approached Mrs. John Day with their little silver tray, they were in for a surprise. Mrs. Day opened her purse and with a happy look on her face began spill ing out bills. While the circle of guests watched with surprise. and Mrs. E. A. Lfttrell ran to find a bigger container, Mrs. Day counted out more than $25. Mrs. D. was glad to relate the story of the bills she had mere ly seized a golden opportunity at a dinner party at Mon Desir. The dinner conversation-began to revolve around a certain Sen ator whom most of the guests would like to see defeated very much So Mrs. Day just pointed out that it takes money to run campaigns and elect certain candidates and defeat others, and passed the hat." The result was enough bills to almost fill the silver bowl which Mrs. Littrell and Mrs. Melvin Lattie substituted for the too-small tray. John Snider, home town philosopher and humorist, has a won derful time when he takes typewriter in hand. According to Little Daisy's owner, the Elks served "oar derves" at the recent inaugural ball, which he wrote "loosely translated from the ancient Aztec means scrawnly little sandwiches." Warm ing up to the "who, what, when, where, why and who" chore, John also wrote "the original estimate of a thousand couples . was revised when it was discovered that one guest had eaten 850 sandwiches. The final tabulation revealed that there were 150 couples, consisting mostly of two peaple each." Puzzled people last week wondered if Purucker Piano house had quit selling musical instruments and stocked fishing tackle instead. Reason was that owner James A. Gnesby couldn't resist displaying the 10-foot sail fish which he caught during a recent vacation which he and Mrs. G. spent in Mexico. Fisherman Grigsby caught the sail fish at Acapulco and had it mounted. Not wanting the fish to look Ionerfy and lost among a lot of sheet music and saxophones, he surrounded it with nets, fishing rods and other tackle.
