We put on our old black dress and our new white "Grace Kelly" hat, pappy took a couple of experimental, pictures while we said "cheese" this is supposed to relax the face and we set forth. In the next six or eight hours we attended two weddings, the receptions which fol lowed each and the open house which Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Drum mond gave in honor of their daughter, Susan, and her fiance. We didn't stop at that, either. Monday we just walked away from the editorial desk in the afternoon and drove out to the Lester Adams home on Thompson creek to a tea and shower for Susan. The first stop on our social spree was Fidelia Boone's wed ding to Gary Boshears. Fidelia looked sweet and lovely in her white organdy gown and was amused rather than distressed when she kept stepping on the front of the billowing skirt. With no free hand, she tried kicking the skirt out in front to tilt the hoops up and after two or three tries, it worked. .Same thing happened when she came back down the aisle after the ceremony. Like other Medford brides, Fidelia was showered with articles to wear at the wedding. Her "something blue" was a garter which her mother had worn at her wedding, and "something borrowed" was another garter, this one having been passed around among Kappa Alpha Theta sorority sisters. She also wore an heirloom pendant and the satin and lace kneeling pillow, loaned by Mrs. Duke Lorton of Ashland, had been used at 26 previous weddings. Quite the most fashionable women at the wedding were the two mothers. Mrs. Boone wore a three-quarter length coat of a striking peacock blue with her off-white silk sheath dress, and Mrs. Boshears wore a blending shade of blue with beige acces sories. Both looked very smart in the new hats with turned down brims. The bride's Theta sorority sisters at the wedding formed a group during the reception and sang a sweetheart song tradi tional Theta stunt, for the bridal pair. . . . We went on to the Drummond party later absolutely deter mined to take a lot of notes on what all the women wore. Even had a bunch of copy paper and a stubby pencil in one pocket. But we had such a good time that it wasn't until we had to rush away for the next wedding that we found the paper and pencil, unused. However, we do remember that Susan looked charming in a simple summer print we agreed with her fiance, George Grgich, whose name always looks as if one of the vowels had been left out by mistake, that she is an exceedingly interesting young woman with a piquant out-of-the-ordinary face. Everyone talked about the weather it was a perfect day for a garden party and the women also talked about shoes. Many had on the new slim heels and these sank in the thick lawn grass right up fo the soles gave the femmes the odd sensation of leaning slightly backwards. Mrs. B. L. Lageson's pumps drew special attention they were a beautiful grey leather that match ed her grey silk suit. Never having been to an Adventist church wedding before we were particularly Interested in the Pflugrad (another name which looks misspelled but isn t) and Sabo rites at Valley View church. The ceremony is somewhat different doesn't begin with the familiar "dearly beloved" like so many Protestant wedding cere monies, and differs also in the "giving away part. Potpourri particularly enjoyed the music at. this wedding. The bride End her teacher of organ at Walla Walla college had carefully selected non-traditional music for the ceremony, and the only selection we recognized was Malotte s Lord s Prayer as sung by Joe Hoyt. We've written about Mr. Hoyt many times, but this was the first opportunity to hear his pleasing voice. Afterwards when the two of us talked together, Mr. Hoyt said he for one would welcome new music for the "Lord's Prayer,'" or a completely new wedding prayer with appropriate music. ..... For a long time we've been hearing about the Lester Adams' home how interesting and unusual it is. Now we know that no one exaggerated. The couple started with an old farm building with a water tower and gradually converted it in to a charming livable home with rooms on several levels and unexpected touches like a small fireplace placed cozlly next to a little old-fashioned black iron stove. Mrs. Adams and her mother furnished the house partly with family antiques and heirloom pieces which are perfect for the setting which the converted house provides, and the total result brings exclamations and sighs from friends and visitors. ..... Robert Norris, Medford student, who was graduated from the University of Arizona earlier this month, heard an address by Sir Leslie Munro, KCMG, as part of the traditional graduation cere monies. Sir Leslie, New Zealand's ambassador to the United States and permanent representative of his country to the United Na tions, had something to say about "isms." "We are in danger of falling into the worst of all 'isms' conformism," Sir Leslie told the graduates in urging them to do their own thinking. "Never accept the statements or opinions of others without criticizing and probing them for yourselves. This is particularly important because we live in times when orthodoxy is so easily indoctrinated in the young through the press, the pic tures, radio and television."

VAVS Observes 10th Anniversary Washington U.R) The Vet erans Administration's 176 hos pitals and domiciliaries observ ed the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the VA Volun tary Service in April. The organization took root on April 15, 1946, to coordinate ac tivities of those who freely give time, effort and money for hos pitalized ex-servicemen. The VA said the volunteers ac complish for the vets what busy professional staffs are unable to do. An average of 86,000 persons a month, working on a regularly scheduled basis, help in the hos pitals. They carry on recreation al activities, nursing, rehabilita tion, and social service work. The volunteers served 5,600, 000 hours during 12 months just ended. This was a jump of 46 per cent in the number of hours worked 10 years ago. And the VAVS is still expanding. In. recent months the organiza tion announced a new program called "Planning for Patient Dis charge." Volunteers assist in smoothing the way back to nor mal community living for about-to-be discharged patients. Children Should Help Wiih Household Chores Champaign, 111. U.R A child needs to feel needed as well as secure, so let him help with household chores and de velop responsibility at the same time, says a University of Illi nois educator. But, the tasks you give him should be necessary, not just something to keep him busy, says Marguerite Briggs. Best thing to do, she said, is to em phasize the youth's own inter ests. Praise a job well done, but don't make a child feel he is a poor worker if his project is not perfect, the specialist said. Kansas Housewives Making Bread Again Wichita, Kan. (U.R) One of the oldest of the household arts has returned to this city in the heart of the nation's wheat belt. Wichita housewives are mak ing their own bread in every imaginable variety. It is estimated that this phase of the do-it-yourself craze has hit 2,300 families in the city and surrounding Sedgwick coun ty. Mrs. Rachel Palmer, associa tion home demonstrating agent, .provided the know-how and the push that put white bread, whole wheat, rye, oatmeal bread and corn meal yeast loaf into home ovens once more. She held a week-long school for 76 leaders on home demon stration units. The leaders in turn taught the housewives in a two-months series of lessons. One of the biggest problems was locating the right flour. Even in the heart of the wheat belt, suitable flour was hard to find, because mills now grind to the specifications of big bak ing concerns and their manu facturing methods differ irom the home process. . But a local baker came to the rescue, and made available a high-gluten flour suitable for the housewives-bakers. Clean up spatters of paint as they occur. They are hard to re move if allowed to set for a while. Keep handy a cloth mois tened with water if you're using a waterbase paint, or one damp ened with turpentine or mineral spirits when working with an oil-base coating material. A whole" meal salad of cooked, large, limas, chunks of canned corned beef and dill pickle makes a delicious summer salad. Add thinly sliced radish and bits of celery for crispness and toss with a well-seasoned salad dressing. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L.
