There's a lot of fuss and feathers connected with wed dings, particularly church weddings, and a hundred and one traditions and conventions which most bridal couples and their families more or less willingly observe. Some of these marriage customs date back to the earliest days of man, and the original reasons for them have little or nothing to do with modern living. For instance, what need is there for the "bridal party" the best man and ushers, maids of honor and bridesmaids and matrons? According to one authority, the bridal party origi nated in the "marriage by capture" days.- A United Press writer says the loyal tribesmen and close friends of the bride groom helped him invade enemy territory to capture his bride. While he escaped with her, his friends stayed behind to fight off her relatives-these now are the ushers and best man. . The maid-of-honor and bridesmaids are of Saxon origin in early England, it is said. The oldest woman of the house-' hold tended the bride before the wedding. She made the bri dal wreath, provided the feast decorations and dressed the bride. Earlier, attendants protected the maiden from capture, which still prevails partly through legal necessity and partly because the bridal pair take pleasure in having their dearest relative or friend participating in the important event. Ring bearers and flower girls are said to symbolize a fruit ful' union, and the throwing of rice is also symbolic. The wedding and engagement rings are believed to have originated in caveman days. After capturing; his bride, the caveman tied her with plaited rushes or grasses-the first rings probably went around her neck or wrists. Now a ring if put on the third finger of her left hand-at least this is the correct finger for brides in the so-called "Western" nations. When there is a wedding in the future, families are given a lot of advice-be sure and reserve the church early, and order the invitations and flowers and cakes well in advance. Make lists. Consult authorities on etiquette. Check and re eheck the invitation list. But somehow or the other, no moth er and bride and all the helpers think of absolutely all the details. And if they did, sometimes there are incidents which are beyond the control of the family. Like unexpected brok en legs. Mrs. Xirkebon McKinley's daughter, Nancy Conroy, planned her wedding for June 6. And several days ago Mrs. McKinley fell off a stepladder and broke a leg. The spunky Mrs. McKinley was put into a big cast, but hobbles around on crutches and tried not to let her injury dim the excite ment of her daughter's marriage. Not long after the cast was adjusted, Mrs. McKinley be thought herself of the pretty, sheath-slim gown she had bought for the wedding. It would go on Mrs. McKinl ', but not on the cast, too. So the slim dress had to be returned to the store, and one with more material in the skirt substituted. . The wedding of Janeth Ann Smith, and Stephen Foster want off smoothly enough, but ill luck befell this couple on their honeymoon. The bridegroom went to the hospital. The newlyweds were honeymooning at Waldport on the Oregon coast when suddenly the bridegroom became violently ill. A physician was summoned-diagnosed acute appendicitis. An' ambulance was summoned, whisked the suffering bride groom off to Corvallis for emergency surgery. A phone call Thursday night from the bride to her par ents said the "bg" was recovering satisfactorily and the pair plan to arrive in Medford the first of the week. While listening to the earnest young graduates at Eagle Point High school Wednesday night we remembered a recent article in the New York Times. It was an interview with a psychiatric social worker, Selma Fraiberg, who said that parents and teachers tell her that "all high school students cheat regularly on examinations.' Mrs. Fraiberg, who recently published a book "The Magic Years" was quoted as saying the cheating, which usually shocks parents when they discover how widespread the practice, is an example of a problem keenly felt ' by parents." The problem as she sees it, is that "our society Is not giving support to parental values." The article also quoted Dr. Eveoleen N. Rexford, director of the Douglas A. Thorn clinic in Boston and instructor in psychiatry at Harvard University Medical school. She declar ed: "We must face the unpleasant reality that a society that condones income tax evasion and political graft and admires the one who 'gets away with it' is far from creating the atmosphere of respect for individual needs and for authority that is vital to the prevention and control of delinquency in the young. Thumbing through our folder of New York Times clippings we found one about Lady Nancy Astor, American-born British citizen, celebrating her 80th birthday. The writer noted that Lady Astor's "tongue is unblunted by time" and quoted her as saying "Socialism won't work unless you love your neighbors. I find that so many people don't love their neighbors."-O.S. M" f- iu 1 n 1o t 6 Wa.ro VoitHtr Reminder . . tfoTiqofor Dlankot Care! Ueol Blanliels CUaned and Protected q Fr Summer Storage!

Fly Up Service Held by Brownies Of Griffin Creek Brownie Scouts of Troop 79 of Griffin Creek school re cently held their fly up cere mony. The girls opened their program by singing. Sherry Large led the flag salute and colors were presented by the girls of Troop 198. Singing was led by Karen Perkins and Susan Bailey. Patsy Eastwood told about the Juliette Low fund. Linda Youmans ex plained how to become a Girl Scout. Carol Stuart told of the world association and Paula Minear explained the mean ing of the colors in the world pin. Kathy Heartle led the Brownie song and each girl lit a candle and gave a law. Jane Dussault gave the slo gan and motto. Linda Eckel gave a prayer. A bridge was made for the girls to cross and the Girl Scouts of 198, led by Mrs. Dick Foy, "flew the girls up." They were Theresa Merritt, Cassie Large, Sharon Hug dahl, Karen Hugdahl and Lorraine LaFaive. The girls' mothers presented sashes which had been bought by the girls through the cookie sale. Girls receiving the sashes with their troop crest, star of Bethlehem, Brownie wings and stars were Susan Bailey, Jane Dussault, Patricia East wood, Kathy Heartle, Sherry Large, Paula Minear, Karen Perkins Carol Stuart, Linda Youman and Linda Eckel. They were presented world pins by their leader, Mrs. George Large, assisted by Mrs. Eddie Mathern. A prize was given to Kathy Heartle for selling the most Girl Scout cookies, to Paula Minear for perfect attendance, and to Carol Stuart and Linda You mans who missed only one meeting because of illness. A miniature Girl Scout pin was presented to Mrs. Larry Youmans and Mrs. Robert Mi- Federation Ends Annual Session Los Angeles -(DPI) Delegates to the 68th annual convention of the General Federation of Women's clubs were en route home today armed with a plea to help stamp out obscene literature. The plea was issued Friday by Sally Butler, director of legislation for the federation, at the closing session of the 68th conclave. Miss Butler said the Post Office Department recognizes the value of women's aid in exposing the danger of ob scene literature to youth and urged that it be continued. She said postal, officials es timated that $500,000,000 worth of obscene literature is sold by mail each year. "The tragic thing is that once a child or youth begins to receive this material their curiosity to see and learn more makes then easy prey. "It is said that the effect upon youth receiving this ob scene and pornographic ma terials is comparable to that of those using narcotics. The child's curiosity urges him to buy more and more of it, and the result is that often the children become delinquent, and even criminals," Miss Butler said. The women also were urged to investigate the water sys tems in their communities to see if action was .needed to make them adequate. The appeal came from Lauren W. Grayson, president-elect of the American Water Works Association. - "We are not properly equip ped to collect, store, process and transport water in suf ficient quantity and quality to meet the needs of our popu lation," Grayson said. He added, however, that there was no shortage of raw water in the nation.

"A marriage with gaiety has more chance than one based on 200 - degree passion," said the F r e n c fa born actress, whose own marriage has set some sort i Gay Pauley of Hollywood record. She has been wed to Dr. Joel J. Press man, a prominent Los Angeles physician, for 23 years and if the couple has ever squab bled, the results never made headlines. ' Although, she confessed, there has been some disagree ments. "They're healthy," she said, in an interview. "How can two people possibly agree on everything? Show me the couple who says there's never been a quarrel, and one of 'em is lying." "By gaiety, I mean being able to laugh with . . . and sometimes at . . . each other," she said. "I am not belittling the role of sex. But marriage based on that alone is going to have trouble. "After all," she said, "wom an spends more of her life talking to a man than any thing else." Movie Influence Rapped "Movies are partly at fault for some of our marriage problems," she said. "We have fed the kids that moon- ugnt ana roses routine for a long time. The illusion of the happy ending is taken for reality." The SS-year-old actress de fended Hollywood marriages to some extent "the ones that don't last make the news," she said. "The long term ones seldom do." Miss Colbert's present job has separated her from her husband "except when he can fly here for weekends." "It gets kinda lonesome," she said, "but we'll have three months together this sum mer." She is co-starring with Char les Boyer in "The Marriege-Go-Round," her first Broad way role since the 1820's. The play will close June 13 for a "vacation" and re-open Sep tember 14. The subject of marriage came up because the actress has just taped a ene-hour "documentary" f e r CBS' "Woman" show. The show, to be televised the afternoon of May 19, will explore the sub ject, "Do they marry too young?" Guests will include teen agers, parents, educators, and civic and religous counselors. Tee Young To Wed "It is my opinion that they do marry too young," said the star, who was wed In her 20's. "The' age of marriage In this country has been falling for the last 70 years.
