MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, IMS C 5 Traditional Customs Observed in Ashland ASHLAND - Many of the old Christmas customs have been carried through the years here as neighbors and friends drop in during the holiday time to see the lighted tree and enjoy a cup of coffee or an egg-nog. This season, as usual, there have been numerous parties, some small, others large and all informal. Friday evening Mrs. Eliza beth Sommer was hostess to a dozen friends who dined with her in her lovely old historic home on Oak Street. The event was both a farewell and a wel come home for two of the group. Mrs. Lorena McN'air was on the eve of departure for a winter vacation tour to Hawaii and Mrs. Mildred Klum had returned home from the Islands a few days before. Almost every one of the guests had been on recent extended trips abroad and shared experiences. Mrs. Veta Belle Carter's des cription of seeing and touching the Dead Sea scrolls while in the Holy Land a few months ago was an interesting highlight of the evening's conversation. Coffee Held The day after Christmas Mrs. Horace Myers invited several friends, to a morning coffee hour in front of the glowing fire at her home on Clarence Lane to meet an Ashland newcomer,! Mrs. Will Fischer. The Fischer family joins the increasing number of retired naval personnel in this com munity, having bought a home on Terra Street. They were sta tioned most recently near Wash ington, D. C. The traditioanl "glog party" given by Dr. and Mrs. Beverly A. Cope, 717 Roca Street, brought together scores of friends on Saturday evening, December 21, to celebrate the season in true Scandanavian style. Philip Hanson and his wife Suzanne hosted a wassail party Monday evening, December 23, in their apartment at 395 East Main Street. The hot spiced drink was served by Mr. Han son, rcsplendant in gay orange weskit, to guests who strolled about inspecting recent acquisi tions collected during his tour in Saudi Arabia. Mr. Hanson is a well-known monologist. Many family dinners and Christmas Eve suppers were held and between December 25 and January 1 there will be many an Open House. New Year's Day has become a pop ular time for extended break fasts and coffee hours as Rose Tournament fans gather in groups before their television sets. The seasonal social whirl of the holidays will come to an end when the last dry pine needles have been swept into the fireplace and the strings of lights stored away for another year.
