MEDFORD MAIL TRI3UNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY. JUNE 3. 13S2 C 9 Wedding Story Advice Offered by Reporters By OLIVE ST ARCHER women g Editor Is there a wedding coming Up in your family? If this is the case, the following article will have information of in terest to the bride, the bride groom and their families. In Oregon, as in most parts of the United States, engage ments, weddings and the so cial events which are part of these happy occasions are im portant social news. Almost all newspapers give consider able coverage to them, and The Medford Mail Tribune is pleased to follow this custom. Wedding Questionnaire In order that this coverage may be accurate, complete and of a nature to please every one, certain do's and don'ts must be taken into considera tion. The Mail Tribune uses a wedding questionnaire, and these are mailed to the bride or her family upon request or when the news of coming weddhijs comes io the atten tion of the women's depart ment. Whenever possible, these should be filled out by the bride or some family member delegated to the task, before the wedding takes place in order that both fam ilies may check the informa tion before it is released. After the marriage cere mony has been held, the ques tionnaire should be returned to The Mail Tribune at once -certainly within a week. Newly married couples who take wedding trips of two or more weeks should under no circumstances wait until re turning to bring the story to the newspaper. A mother, an other relative or a close friend properly takes care of this task. Submit Stories Immediately The matter of submitting the information as quickly as possible cannot be over-stressed. News literally means "new" and a story held for two, three or four weeks is considered "old" by all news papers. Many refuse to pub lish such stories. Correctly, all names used In connection with a wedding are the full, formal names of the persons; social custom frowns on the use of shorten ed forms, nicknames and the first names of women who are married. Questionnaires or other wedding information must be signed. Engagement and wedding stories are never taken over the phone. Almost all newly married couples and their families are anxious to have pictures used with the wedding stories, and The Mail Tribune is pleased to publish these. However, the engraving process is a com plex and lengthy one and only bla"k and white glossy prints with considerable de tail result in completely sat isfactory newspaper pictures. Most small pictures taken by amateurs are unsatisfactory, and many colored pictures cannot be converted into a metal engraving is; publica tion. Picture! for Newspaper When a qualified photogra pher is engaged to take wed ding pictures, he can be trust ed to select a print for pub lication and deliver it to the newspaper. Experience has proven that a capable pho tographer is a better judge of suitable pictures than are the subjects themselves or their families. Under no considera tion should the fi:nily with hold a questionnaire until proof.- or prints can be seen; confi r with your photogra pher and then trust his judg ment. If a traditional engagement story, with a picture, is to be published it should be done so at least two months in ad vance of the wedding. Many etiquette books say six months is more suitable. If the wedding is to be within a month or so, the family should submit a story which announces the coming marriage, giving the date, place and other pertinent in formation. If a picture is used with this story, it is under stood that no wedding picture will be used. Check Information Bridal couples and their families are cautioned against second- hand information about newspaper require ments and the services of pro fessional photographers, print ers, engravers and bakers. Call these establishments and gather first-hand information. It may be perfectly true that the bride down the street paid a large sum for her wedding pictures, but this does not mean that all photographic coverage is equally expensive. A family can pay $75 or more for a wedding cake, but under other circumstances suitable cakes can be supplied for much smaller sums. Reporters in the women's department will be happy to discuss engagement, party and wedding stories either over the phone or at the office. Perfect attire for the moth er of the bride for an in formal evening wedding is a street length cocktail dress with a small, llowered hat or veil. ft r I A r T" - - ZaM ' " t- " master" k fix. ... t -vsn h J" V Y -si- St y fi fern rM otSi&a Grandmothers Over Eight- Are Honored Members of the Rogue chap-1 attend, tcr, Gra ul,.iother Clubs ul !

When purchasing terry- cloth towels, feel and pull them at different points to make sure all section stretch evenly. Uneven tension in the weaving process can cause towel parts to pucker or be come distorted after launder ing. Look also, for close, large, full, fluffy and thickly-packed loops.
