lPoilpajimiriri
Today's Potpourri is a mixture of Easter and Mothers' Day.
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. O.S.
