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.

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.

By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York-(DPD-The Claudet
te Colbert formula for wed
ded bliss list "gaiety" as the
prime ingredient.
"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. It is
now lower, on . the average,
than in any other country of
