0 Coming Play to Paint Picture Of America in Pioneer Times Youngsters in the lledford area will have a more vivid pic ture of pioneer America when they tee "Johnny Appleseed," children's theater production coming to the Craterian theater on .October 9. The program is sponsored by Medford branch American As sociation of University Women. The play is produced by Chil dren's Theater of the West. The period of the play is 1797. At that time much of America's Northeastern lands were in the hands of land companies, and the particular patch which "Johnny Appleseed", selected for his first apple orchard was the property of the Holland ,Land comany. In that period men used the "long rifle." a curious affair with a barrel 43 inches long. Use of the rifles by able pioneers caused one Londoner to write "This province has raised 1.000 riflemen, the worst of whom will put a ball into a man's head at the distance of 150 or 200 yards." This rifle is the kind OSC Sororities Pledge Students Several freshman Women at tending Oregon State college were among those pledged by national Greek letter sororities at the close of fall term rushing.

When Liz Williams and her family came into the wilderness, they traveled in a Conestoga wagon, which children now know as the "covered wagon," and which lumbered its way west into every frontier. Families in the wilderness would often put up a log house in one day. This was done by "notching" logs at the ends so they would dovetail and hold firm. The Seneca Indians were a tribe of Iroquois. They could speak perfect English and were inclined to make long soeeches. They were extremely fond of their children and grieved over the fbss of a family member. Thy were a proud warrior peo ple, yet were not warlike. They were not a migratory tribe, but built communities around which they planted crops. Tall Tree and Bear Hunter, Indians in the play, bring out these qualities.

" gSfjXlTly DRIVE IN PA.RKIN&.-:jgtr51--Tg--. ! ll Newlyweds Sure Of Rosy Future, Survey Indicates Br GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) All those people worried about our high divorce rate can relax a little. Today's marriages, made in Heaven, seem to be in for a long run on earth. The new batch of new 1 y w e d s and about - to-be newlyweds is a moon-struck group, sure that marriage vill last and unworrie d about either mortgage or mother-in-law. At least this rosy future glows throughout replies from 3.500 couples to the question, "What do you expect of your mar riage?" Mountain Of Putty I just combed through the 3,500 sentimental answers and found that with rare excep tions the young set is dead ser ious about building a lifetime together. Not one commented that, "Oh well, if it doesn't work One couple said, "We expect our marriage to be so lasting and loving it will make the rock of Gibraltar look like a moun tain of putty." Most of them expecied quar rels but didn't expect them to last. "We already have made a pact," said one engaged pair. "We will not go to sleep angry at each other." "We expect everything from marriage," one couple said. "We want . . . children, love and love for our in-laws." Most of the couples planned for more than one child. Most of them wanted to own tlieir own home and fully expected to afford it. Few of them expected finan cial problems, although some brides-to-be conceded they have to help hubby finish college. We don't want to be the wealthiest couple on the block." said one duo. "What's more, we know we won't. Poor But Happy We know we'll be poor, but happy." said one pair. Most felt their religion would be a major factor in their lives together. And many showed a responsi bility for things other than each other. 'We want eventually to in crease the population with the hope that our children will con tinue to carry on under less tension for a better and more peaceful world," said one couple. The "what we expect"' letters were entries in a contest, pre ceding the first National Brides' Show at the Coliseum here. Oct. 18-22. The couple whose letter is judged best, by popular vote, the day the show opens will win a honeymoon trip or second honeymoon trip. Couples mar ried less than one year also re eligible.

My mother is run ning around with a married man. Mrs. R. K It's perfectly in nocent. Bert K. I am 23 years old and I've recently returned from my military service to find a shocking state of affairs in my home. My father died a little less than a year ago and my mother has been running around with a married man for several months. I've reasoned with my mother about this, told her how she is defiling my father's memory, but she is stubborn and insists that what she is doing is harmless. How can I make her listen to reason? L Mrs. R. K. I had hoped to have a little more understand ing from my son, whom I con sidered a mature person. There fore, I hid nothing from him. The relationship between me and this man is completely in nocent. His wife has been an in valid for many years and he is a person who likes to get out and do things. He has been as hungry for companionship as I have been since the death of my husband. I sympathize with him very much and he has given me invaluable business advice, as weli as a boost in morale, which has made all the difference between my being a brooding widow and an active woman who can face the future. My son has hurt me deeply by his at titude. I would never defile my husband's memory. The Council: Bert lias made a melodramatic accusation, which his mother understandably re sents. But. Mrs. R. K. must not, therefore, discount Bert's posi tion. He is basically right in his feeling that there is something objectionable and distastefi"' in her conduct. Mrs. R. K. may not be defil ing her husband's memory, but she is hurting her reputation and damaging her future. Others, besides her son. will place an unkind interpretation on the matter. The fact that the rela tionship is "innocent" will not stop this kind of talk. Mrs. R. K. has shown the right attitude toward her future. She does not want to ba a "brood ing widow," but she has made the wrong move. She needs to find other activities. A job and club work may be the answer By running around with a mar ried man. she is cutting herself off from the kind of activity and friends that will give her last ing satisfaction, and she is head ed for serious complications. The man in the case is perhaps to be pitied, but he must find his own ways of dealing with his problems. This woman will be less of fended by her son's accusation if she tries to understand it. Bert is 1 still suffering from the blow of his father's death. Perhaps he was less prepared for it than she was. He came home planning to take over as man of the house hold and to comfort his mother. Instead he finds himself dis-: placed by a stranger and sees an ! active, independent mother. Per haps he is ashamed to plead on his own behalf and uses his i father's memory to make his mother feel guilty. j Bert should stop making cruel and unfair accusation and try to he)p his mother, as him self, to form new relationships. Brooding is no tribute to his father's memory. j (Copyright 1956. General Features Corp.) i CURRY WITH A TINGE New York (U.R) Here's an easy-to-prepare main dish, which has an exotic touch.
