CHRISTENSEN FrM 4 lift fiz: People Rent Things Official Discovers By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York-IUPD-Folks who rent household equipment sometime thirst for the oddest things. A man in Chicago, for ex ample, felt put out because a place that rents glasses couldn't fill his order. He wanted: six champagne glass es shaped like Jayne Mans field. Another human-they think he was human pounded on the desk when a New York renting unite shrugged a neg ative answer upon hearing his request. He sought "just for Name Delegates For Convention Six local women will at tend the annual state conven tion of the National Associa tion of Letter Carriers of the United States of America aux iliary in Eugene May 24 through 28 as delegates.

Newlyweds Should Buy Home, Advice New YorK-lUPB-lmmediate ownership of a home with a good resale value is one of the soundest ways for newly weds to build for the future. Low down payment and convenient financing make it possible for newlyweds with limited funds to move Into new homes. Usually such homes are found in planned communities In which young couples with similar objec tives make lasting friend ships. The Tile Council of Amer ica reports that buying in a tract Is fine, provided the house Incorporates sufficient quality features to assure Its resale value.

"What do you want with a coffin," the manager ask ed. "Rent it to me and you'll see," the displeased customer said. But the firm that rents most everything on the home front had to stick to its "sor ry, no" on both counts. The reason: too little demand for rental coffins and glasses shaped like Jayne. , Milton Cohen, general man agter of a rent-all firm, cited the two cases during an inter view. Nationwide Firm His firm, Hertz, has been in the nationwide rent-any thing for home business for two years now. And Cohen, who once taught psychology, says he's learning more about human behavoir at his present post than he ever did In the psy chology laboratories. Some folks, for example, want to rent things laden with status, including pictures and posies. Even antiques are stocked. "The hottest antique is a 200-year old platter," he said. "Of course, we send the pedi gree with the rental. People who want to impress other people with antiques want to be able to talk authoritatively about the antique." The more then 300 items in stock range from A for ashtray to Z, for zither. There's even an "I-V stand" doctors use to hold the bottle of plasma when given a trans fusion or feeding patient in travenously. But sick people aren't the only one to rent this particular item. Medical Equipment - Once a customer who rent ed the medical equipment called to complain. "Where's the bottle that goes with it," he said. "The doctor usually sup plies the bottle," she was told. "But I'm having a party," she explained. "I need the bottle. I want to put Bloody Marys in it." Cohen said he knows before the first robin appears that springs about to pop every year. That s when matrons, espec ially in the suburbs, line up to rent reducing machines. They want to look trim in warm weather clothes, includ ing bathing suits. Household Equipmtnt "The practical principle be hind renting household equip ment only when needed without having to buy or store them seems to have caught on most solidly with wives and career girls," Co hen said. Young marrieds invariably rent party supplies for gath erings of from eight to 12 people. This continues until their first non-party rental a package including bassinet, buggy and sometimes a guest bed for a sleep In nurse. "When these Items show up, the need for party items temporarily dwindle almost to zero," Cohen said. The single girls most often rent punch bowls The bachelor's request isn't too hard to fathom. A recent bachelor order: wine bucket, two glasses and a tape recorder.

The women plan to return to Medford Monday, May 27. Start planning well in ad vance of the big day for the style and number of these garments for your trousseau. For a versatile group to fit any occasion, the National Cotton council suggests that you include at least one long hostess gown, a sophisticated pants-and-tunlc ensemble, and a short brunch coat. Cottons Richer Once you've setled on the styles you like, fabrics can be selected In complementing colors and designs. Whether you're planning a softly femi nine effect or a trimly tailor ed one. you'll find there's a cotton fabric to interpret the look. This summer's offering of cotton piece goods is richer and more varied than ever be fore, starting with handsome ly textured fabrics and run ning through to exotic water color prints. Because they're easy to sew and wash like a dream, they're Ideal for at home clothes. For a long hostess gown with an air of elegance, choose a pattern with simple lines and a fabric that's high in texture interest. Especially suitable are cotton brocades, piques, ribbed ottomans, cloques. and matelasses. Every trousseau should In clude one truly sophisticated outfit, designed to accentuate your particular personality. If you like tunlc-and-pants en sembles with a Far Eastern look, your best fabric bet is lustrous cotton satin - either In a rich solid or a wild floral print. Another striking cos tume .effect can be achieved by the surprise use of sturdy cotton sailcloth. Use solid white for slim pants and a bold floral print for a sleeve less overblouse. Add late-day Social Events Expert Gives Tips on Toasts For Weddings Champagne is the sunshine of the bridal feast. It is held high, sparkling in sparkling glasses, as the first toast by the best man to the bridal couple. Whether at wedding breakfast or after noon or evening reception, it is the traditional wine for wedding toasts. For those who are planning simple home affairs without catering help, there are sev eral things to know about champagne, according to Ber nard Wiernik, president of CVA company, marketer of Cresta Blanca wines. A good domestic champagne costs about $4 a bottle and serves eight persons. Chill Champagne should be chilled two hours or packed in an Ice bucket for 30 min utes. If it's chilled too long, however, Its bouquet can be destroyed, wine experts warn. They say 43 degrees is cold enough. There's a choice of medium-dry and dry cham pagnes, and pink champagne is a favorite, too. As to the etiquette of wed ding toasts, after the best man has offered his to the wedding couple, the bridegroom stands and makes a toast to "my bride my wife." The bride does not drink, but all others do. It is permissible then to toast parents, grandparents, and the officiating clergyman. Brief Toasts Traditionally, we Amer icans do not feel particularly comfortable with toasts. Per haps this is due to the stream lined pace of our lives or the lack of tradition that's cen turies old. For this reason it is customary to keep wedding toasts brief and to a minimum in number. An acceptaole, easy form is "To Mary and Bob. May their life be a long and happy one." If you are a non-drinker, It is not good form to "turn down" your wine glass at a wedding reception, the eti quette books inform. You may correctly touch your lips to your glass when a toast is offered. This is preferable to raising a water glass.
