When Charlotte Riley addressed invitations for her wed ding to Steven Wisely, she made sure that families, and not just "Mr. and Mrs." were invited. Charlotte, you see, had learned to knew and enjoy, many children while baby sit ting for friends and neighbors, and she wanted all of "her children" to come to the wedding. As the bride walked down the aisle at First Methodist church November 21 about 50 little heads, all scrubbed and combed and brushed, turned to look at their friend in her beautiful wedding dress. The reception must have been a ' lively event, for when it comes to enjoying a wedding re ception, the youngsters have it all over their elders. Pappy and Potpourri enjoyed Thanksgiving day very much. Potpourri rose at the crack of dawn to stuff the turkey and put it. in the oven before going to the news room, and Pappy watched and basted the bird until our return. Even though or perhaps because it was a his and her . dinner, wev arranged a little centerpiece, got out the best silver and china, and lighted candles. We even tried ut our new espresso coffee served demi-tasse with a bit of galliano. Too, there was a concert from the new record player which is practically magic. But there was a disturbing thought. As we cooked din ner the turkey served with candied yams and crisp celery, pickles, toot rolls and the good old-fashioned bread stuffing, somehow there crept in thoughts of how terrible is the contrast between the over-abundance of food in the United States and the starvation conditions which exist in so many nations of the world. . The voices speaking out to say that some day this nation will regret being "an island of plenty and prosperity in a sea of misery and want" are loud, but not nearly loud enough. t And for all our abundance of food, many dietitians say that not all of us are necessarily well-nourished. Inez Eck blad, extension specialist of Washington State university in Pullman, declares that most teen-age girls actually have a diet no better than those in nations which are listed as starvation areas. Miss Eckblad, member of the national 4-H committee to improve teen-age diets, says that many young . American girls are eating a diet deficient in almost every one of the essential nutrients. She says the girls eat "empty" foods sweets, potato chips or carbonated beverages, and fail to eat the good meat, cheese, eggs and milk which they need for protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A and other nu trients essential to good health. If the federal extension service and 4-H clubs can overcome this bad practice among teen-agers, they will deserve to have their praises sung throughout the land. . - According to news from the east, the President's daughter-in-law, Mrs. John S. Eisenhower is "terribly excited" over her forthcoming trip abroad with the President. At first it was reported that Major and Mrs. Eisenhower's four chil dren were wishing that they could go with their parents. But when they learned that their mother had to take a series of shots before she could leave on the eleven-country tour "they weren't interested at all,": their mother said. Mrs. Fred Ryde, president of Rogue chapter of the Grandmothers, wandered a couple of times during planning and preparation of the club's Thanksgiving dinner if the whole thing wai going to be worth the effort. But when a total of 116 members, husbands and other guests sat down to the feast, and everyone had a fine time, she was glad the project had been carried thrbugh. ; ." .-' : Mrs. Ryde was feeling extremely proud, too, because he and her family represented a unique combination. Mrs. R. is not only a grandmother, but a great-grandmother and her two daughters, "both grandmothers, are also members of the club and were present for the dinner. They are Mrs. Robert Rucker," Medford, and Mrs. Cecil Hill, Grants Pass. The club officers made up the committee for the dinner. Mrs. Ryde's vice-presidents are Mrs. Otto Gaston and Mrs. Helen Watson; Mrs. Bessie Young is treasurer, Mrs. Rex Note secretary and Mrs. Clayton Walker arid Mrs. Otto Stever son are both state organizers. The club didn't even have to go outside the membership for entertainment. Mrs. Elsa, Alexander and her Hawaiian string band provided music before and during dinner. .Shoppers who haven't thought about their Christmas present problems already will have to start worrying in earnest now, with Thanksgiving gone and December star ing them in the face. This tm-helpful hint (for most of us) comes from the Denver Post where Pat Collins, society editor, noted in - her column an item advertised in the Nieman-Marcus Christ mas catalogue. For $1,925 the store will deliver a black angus steer (on the hoof) accompanied by a mahogany and silver roast beef cart; for $2,230 they will deliver the steer dressed and ready for the deep freeze.
