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. O.S.
