Potpourri
Potpourri went utterly social last Sunday. 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." O.S.

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.
