News 1 ti 1 Sirikii of Thailand and on of Disneyland June 23. (UPI Telephoto) All Rainbow assemblies are sponsored by members of the Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Masons and the Or der of Eastern Star, the lodge states. Girls wishing to become members must be recommend ed by a Mason or an Eastern Star member. Many who join are children of Masons or Stars, but the doors of the Or der are open to friends of members, even though they may have no Masonic relation ship. This is one of the main points of difference between the Order of Rainbow and the International Order of Job's Daughters, it is stressed. ' Girls and parents interested in the charter chapter being started in Jacksonville are asked to contact the mother advisor, Mrs. C. A. Young, or the chairman of the board, Gail P. Buffington. Anyone in terested is invited to attend an open board meeting set for Wednesday, July 6, at 7:30 p.m. at the Masonic hall in Jacksonville. The advisory b o a r ds for Rainbow Assemblies are made up of 9 or 10 men and women, members of a Masonic lodge or Order of Eastern Star chap ter. The board selects a moth er advisor to work directly with the girls and who attends all Rainbow functions. Founder of the Order of Rainbow Girls was the Rev. Mark Scxson, a Mason who held high rank. The idea of the rainbow symbol was tak en from old Masonic charters in which the rainbow symbol ized fraternal life. Rainbow ideals embody a belief in the existence of a supreme being, acceptance of the truths of the Bible, a striv ing to achieve dignity of char acter, and an appreciation of the higher things of life. The order promotes leadership, church membership, patriot ism, cooperation with equals, love of home and stresses serv icp to humanity, it is stated. it is also stressed by those promoting tile group here that "Rainbow has its serious side, but It Is no long-faced order." It is full of life, color and youthful gaiety. Rainbow as semblies have parties, dances, picnics and other social gath erings to which the girls may invite boys and young men. cs u u Social Events mm "I wrote until my ngers were numb. Now I appreciate what society writers go through with" said Mrs. H. S. Ingle sympathetically to Potpourri last Saturday morning. Mrs Ingle and Potpourri were adding, by telephone, a few de tails which she had left out of her daughter's wedding ques tionnaire, even though she were numb. Mrs. Ingle's sympathy was stories, particularly stories of large weddings with many details, are one of the hardest chores for the society gals. We try to take etxra care, too, for the families (and the writers) are very unhappy when anything goes wrong. And there were about a dozen long since this is June, and the popular time for tying the nuptial knot. In fact, so long were the wedding stories, and so thick the pile of other material that Saturday came and went without Pal Peg and Potpourri finishing everything. And Potpourri didn't even get time to assemble her thoughts, let alone write a column. JWF of the East Oregonian, Pendleton, recently took typewriter in hand and wrote about weddings. JWF said that among all the news he had written, none was as difficult as the social news. JWF said he had complained for years about the way weddings were written and published, but he quit complaining after writing a few himself. "We learned the hard way that there are not several different ways to tell the story of a wedding. The reason is so obvious that we were embarrassed for not having thought of it. The reason is that almost all weddings are alike. The procedures vary a little according to the locale church, justice of the peace office, in a garden or at park. But what the principals much. Nor docs what they So, what you can do with limited. It, in fact, comes down in the end to two choices. You can tell the essential details and sign off or you give the readers a full play-by-play that includes the minutest details. Our preference is the sure most readers prefer it, iney do unless they have wedding. That makes its difficult. Mrs. Jones likes short wedding stories until the story of her daughter's weddine comes along. Then she wants Handling wedding stories the majority of a newspaper's has given editors headaches for Potpourri was glad to read troubles with weddings. The gals of the Tribune try to hit a middle course we make the stories long enough to please me iamuies, out try to cut down it is very difficult. What seems unimportant to the writer may turn out to be a bit of information which the family was most anxious to have included. When Potpourri started writing weddine- stories n tnno lime ago no one, absolutely no one, ever included in a wedding story the name of the person who made the wed ding cake. If they were baked by others than professional bakers, it was kept a dark secret. Now it is common for a relative or close friend to make the wedding cake, and the family wants this included in the story. ims writer also remembers who lighted the candles were seldom included in the ma terial. Now this is also common. A few years ago some stories included the fact that the aisle was laid with a special white carpet or covering, which was deemed as important as the flowers, candles and satin bows on the pews. Somehow, white aisle coverings aren't in the news now, a fact which doesn't make the society writer a bit unhappy. One piece of Information day interested this writer. This was the fact that at Kathy Ingle's wedding to Daniel Voorhics, the traditional wedding marches were not used, and instead Miss Ingle and Organist Edna Dougherty chose "The Wedding Suite" by Clokey for the wedding marches, and her prelude music included Purcell's "Trumpet Voluntary" which was nlaved as a recessional for the wedding of thony Armstrong-Jones. Miss Dougherty states that the Clokey suite, published in 1957, is a beautiful piece of wed ding music. The suite includes a solo, as well as the marches, ana sue is nopeiui tnai oiner prides will use It rather than the traditional selections which some churches and many musicians regard with disfavor. We read the other day that the U. S. post office has ordered an electric "thinking machine that "reads ad dresses and sorts at a minimum rate of 10,000 envelopes an hour. We wonder if a version which would "read" the material submitted to the society department, particularly on engagement stories and wedding questionnaires. There are times tration of six or eight reporters and editors on the Mail Tribune staff to read hand-written names and other ma terial. It would be a happy day in the news room if such a machine could be put in use. O.S.

Women attending a combined meeting of the Medford unit, Oregon Federation of Women's Republican clubs, and of the stale board of the Federation, held June 20 at the Red Cross building, were interested in a fund-raising project of the state board mem bers. They brought a doxen or so veils fash ioned into caps and decorated with felt Past and Present Meet In Home of U.S. Senator By ROSE McKEE Washington - The years 1960 A.D. and 450 B.C. meet harmoniously in the home of Sen. and Mrs. Paul H. Doug las in Washington. . The Illinois Democrat and his wife have a one - story brick home that is completely modern in design. It is the setting for piaster copies of ancient sculpture, some of the originals of which date back to about 450 B.C. Yet they seem completely at home in their modern surroundings. Mrs. Douglas told the Na tional Association of Home Builders that she had always known that when she and the Senator had a house of their own, she wanted it to be "modern with everything on one floor." The daughter of Lorado Taft, the noted sculptor, ex plained that while she finds satisfaction in keeping her home neat and clean, she does not believe in spending un necessary time on housekeep ing chores. "In this 20th century," she said, "there are so many other things for women to do - I wanted a home with the eas iest and quickest ways of do ing things about the house." Mrs. Douglas got her wish four years ago, when the mod ern house was built and time saving gadgets such as a dish washer, were installed in the kitchen. When it came to furnishing the house, she said she at first couldn't think what she could do to make it interesting on a by then largely depleted budget. Collected Casts "Then I realized that what I had that was interesting was my inheritance from my fa ther," she added. "He had col lected plaster casts of some of the world's lovely pieces of sculpture. They had come to me simply because I was the daughter of a sculptor." Mrs. Douglas noted that copies of sculpture now are generally available and, she said, many could do what she has done in furnishing her home if their interests are similar. She has used her pieces with restraint so that there is not even a suggestion of a museum effect. Over the fireplace, Mrs. Douglas has a copy of a relief that is in an art museum in Athens. A memorial to a wom an, the sculpture according to Six y " laPointe'i Prict v 10,98 O o !, , .M .'',-! 1 ''! T . I ll ' . - ' 1 lull iv - ;-; legend, shows a woman se lecting jewels for a long jour ney from a box held out to her by a kneeling handmaiden. The white plaster of the relief is pleasing against the floor-to-ceiling brick of the modern fireplace. Another admired work is a copy of a winged victory, which hangs on a wall of the entranceway. The original is believed to date from 450 B.C. In selecting draperies and upholstery, Mrs. Douglas chose solid colors that would not distract from her unique decorations. Sofas and chairs are covered in russet or green and she has tawny drapes matching the color of her liv ing room walls. Among Mrs. Douglas' most treasured sculpture are works of her father. These include a small likeness of her mother when a young girl and her father's working model of a memorial fountain that stands in Denver. Outdoors, at the base of a big tree, is a statue of a "hap py girl, " a copy of one of the figures her father did for his noted "Fountain of the Great Lakes" in Chicago. To see large sculpture her father did, Mrs. Douglas has only to visit the plaza at Un ion Station in Washington. The Columbus Memorial there is his work.
