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

used by the land agent in the
play. Don McQuade.
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. These and many
other bits of pioneer history are
brought out in the production,
which will be presented at 1:45
p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

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.

Bert K. 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
