Spanish Weddings Are
;Costly for the Brides
By PAM MIXTER
; United Press International
. Madrid-iUPIi-If you're think
'Ing of nailing that man and
'castle, don't do it in Spain
T'hat is the advice of this re
porter who has lived here.
. Furthermore, if you don't
helicve in long engagements,
don't touch a toe to Spanish
soil.
In Spain, getting hitched for
a girl is generally costly be
cause often it is the girl who
pays toward furnishing her
iulure home.
Generally a girl must buy
all of the furnishings for the
bedroom and the kitchen.
In some parts of Spain, the
girl foots the entire bill.
It is the groom's lot to pay
for the rest of the home, usu
ally the living room furniture.
The housing problem is an
other reason for long engage
ments, unless the ncwlyweds
care to move in with rela
tives. In parts of Spain where the
bride foots the bill, the father-nf-the-bride
is not left out of
tilings. Not only must he pay
for the wedding ceremony it
self, hut supply a dowry as
well. This can be a new car,
stocks, or land.
A an average wedding, $27
will buy one organist, two vi
olins, a red carpet down the
center aisle, flowers and
lights for the church. If the
bridegroom happens to have a
few extra pesetas in his pock
et, he can throw In an extra
violin or two.
Hire Limousine
if he can afford it, two lim
ousines arc hired. Both are
decorated with white flowers
around the inside and with
white lace on the outside door
handle.
The richest relative or friend
Is picked to fool the bill for
the reception. But a good
many Spaniards are becoming
more practical and dispensing
with the reception, leaving
for their honeymoon immed
iately after the ceremony.
If the couple is really poor,
they can be married free-if
they are willing to be married
before eight in the morning.
There is no church fee for
weddings performed before
that hour.
The bridegroom pays for
wedding rings, an engagement
present, the bride's complete
wedding attire and wedding
pictures.
It is traditional for the
bridegroom to give the bride
13 pieces of money. If he can
afford it he gives her 13 pieces
of gold, otherwise pesetas.
This custom dales back to the
old custom of buying the bride
from her parents.
The old timers claimed that
in the days before the Civil
War tilings were much more
romantic. Then in the prov
ince of Andalucia, the man
would steal his bride-to-be.
This was especially the case if
the parents had refused to
Rive their consent to the
match. Then would stal l nego
tiations for parental consent,
followed by the scene in
which the couple returned and
demanded:
"Now do you give your per
mission?" No one can ever remember
that it ever was denied.

Robert Michels
Returns to Ranch
O'Brien Robert Michels
has returned to his ranch
above Takilma for the sum
mer. He arrived last week to
visit his brother and wife,
Mr. and Mrs. George Michels,
who reside cast of O'Brien.
Mr. Michels has a winter
home in southern California.
Anderson Family
To Move Soon
O'Brien - Gordon Ander
son, his wife and family plan
to occupy their newly built
home on Leonard road, near
Grants Pass, soon.
Last Sunday's page of old-time Fourth of July pictures
brought a wave of nostalgia to the newsroom. Some remem
bered town celebrations such as those in the old pictures,
others talked about picnic feasts of fried chicken and baked
beans, and others remembered what fun it was to shoot
firecrackers and set off sky rockets and Roman candles.
Sports Editor Dick Jewett said regretfully that of course,
fireworks are dangerous and many persons are injured when
their use is not controlled, but that he and his brother and
sisters had had lots of fun with them and he half-way re
gretted the fact that nowadays fireworks are mostly some
thing which the youngsters just watch when some group or
town sponsors a controlled display.
The kids can still play with sparklers, but even these
can cause trouble. FB recalled that the last lime sparklers
were used in their neighborhood, someone tossed one into
a pile of sawdusl and it burned inwardly for days. Then
it blazed up and the fire department had to be summoned.
As a result of the old pictures, one family decided to
have a picnic at home, somewhat in the old-fashioned man
ner, and resurrect the 40-ycar-old freezer and make a batch
of homemade ice cream. Photographer Bob Vroman, whose
uncle took some of the pictures used on the page, reported
that talking about bygone days had inspired his parents, the
Elwin R. Vromans, to plan such a day.
Strange, isn't it, that few of us seem to remember what
the ficry-tongued young lawyer had said during the pro
gram given from a bunting-draped stand in the park, or
at the school ground? What we remember is the fireworks
and the homemade ice cream and the races, and the wash tub
full of lemonade. It was made with juice from real lemons,
laboriously squeezed by hand, and not from processed juice
poured from a can, or frozen juice, or worse yel, from the
synthetic junk that bears little resemblance to lemons.
The ice cream was made witli eggs and milk cooked
into a thin custard for the base, with lots of thick cream
and flavoring added when the mixture was put into the
freezer can. At first the crank turned easily, but later as the
stuff began to freeze, it would be harder and harder to
turn, and at length one of the kids would have to sit on
the freezer to hold it down while father worked away at
the crank.
When the long-awaited moment arrived and mother fi
nally dished out the frozen cream, it was a dessert fit for
the gods.
That's what we remember. Not what the orator said.
When we took the engravings and layout down to the
shop, the makeup man, Herb DeVos, looked at the pictures
and sighed. "I almost wish those days were back again," he
said, also with a note of regret. "Life wasn't so complicated
when I was a boy."
This morning while doing the pre-breakfast stint at the
ironing board, we thought aboul the days when mother iron
ed dozens and dozens of dresses and shirts and petticoats and
little-girl panties all with a heavy iron healed on the wood
stove. This morning we zipped over the pieces with an elec
trically heated Iron which in almost nothing flat steamed out
the few wrinkles left in the drip dry material. We'd hate to
keep house without electricity, refrigerators, vacuum clean
ers, drip-dry no iron materials, and to live without radio, tele
vision, cars, milk in germ-free cartons and all the other
long list of the things that make up the modern world.
But then, we'd gladly do without atom bombs, the cold
war, the East-West struggle over ideologies, the rising tide
of juvenile delinquency and the feeling that somehow along
the wny the nation and lis citizens have lost some ot Iheir
integrity.
Will those who run the United Stales In the year 2.000
look back on 18H2 with nostalgia as a time when life wasn't
as complicated? O.S.

By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - IIIPIl - Mrs.
John F. Kennedy has spurred
new interest at home in
Americana with her program
of refurbishing the While
House in authentic furnish
ings from various periods of
U. S. history.
Abroad, a similar interest
in Americana gets a giant as
sist from a unique museum
started by two men who be
lieve t lip cultural image over
seas of the United States
could stand improvment.
The two are founders of
the American Museum in
Britain, which has just open
ed its latest addition a de
tailed replica of the flower
gardens at George Washing
ton's Mount Vernon home.
The gardens are the gift of
ihc Colonial Dames of Amer
ica. The museum is located at
Claverton Manor. Bath, Km:
land. 107 miles west of Lon
don. Sir Winston Churchill is
supposed to have made his
Vrst political speech at Clav
erlon ri!i years ago.
Old West Next
When we heard of the gai
den presentation, we hied our
selves off to the headquarters
of the Friends of the Ameri
can Museum in Britain, where
we found Mrs. Norman Walk
er, widowed mother of four
grown sons, presiding
The chic Mrs. Walker, with
a background in fashion sales
and magazine work, is the
cxeeutne secretary The
Friends chairman is Mrs.
Thomas S. Lament of the Mor
gan and t.amont banking
families
"I'm the lookout girl for
more items of historical in
terest to add to the museum."
said Mrs. Walker "Our next
hig project will be the Old
West and we'll have lo add
a wine to the museum to
house it "
Big Interest
The site of the museum Is
SS acres of rolling i-ountr-side
including the manor
house of some 3;l rooms and
galleries built m for one
of England's landed gentry.
The architect, Sir Jeftery
Watvilh worked for George
IV and helped restore Wind
sor Castle, one of the homes
of the British royal family.
Mrs. Walker said the mu
seum opened last July 15
for three months and that
20.000 persons visited it. This
year, il will be open for six
months and the number of
visitors is expected to triple.
"There is a tremendous in
terest in Americana all over
Europe.'' she said.
The museum rooms range
through furnishings and olher
antiquity of Ihe first three
centuries of the United States.
Included is a candlestand
which helonc'i'd to PfMp0rin
While, the first American
child, born on the May
flower's voyage to Plymouth
Rock.
The Museum curator is a
Briton lan McCallum. an
architect who has traveled
extensively in the United
States. And there's one other
British touch, a tea room
where all visitors may stop
for a refresher traditional of
England.
"Of course," said Mrs.
Walker, "the cakes and cook
ies served with the Ira are
typically American "
