Traditional Wedding
Month Is Here Again
Throwing Rice Is Actually A Bribe;
Brides Get A Large Array of Gifts
By JOHN S. HARRIS
This month is the most popular one for the American
bride to sweep down the aisle with the self-satisfaction of
a modern Diana returning from the hunt with a stag slung
over her shoulder.
But the June ritual wasn’t al
ways a victory celebration of the
female. And everything about
the wedding—including the word
itself—is designed to remind her
that she once was, at best, a
marketable commodity—and at
worst, fair game for any strong
armed marauder.
The best man, for example, is
believed to be a relic of the days
when a man simply carried off a
girl who had wandered too far
from home. The husband-to-be
usually brought a muscular
friend to fight off pursuers, ac-

Georgia has approximately
4,100 producers of pine gum who
work 29 million faces annually,
according to foresters, Agricul
tural Extension Service. The
state’s gum naval stores produc
tion in 1958 amounted to ap
proximately 80 percent of the
nation’s total supply of gum
resin and turpentine, the for
esters report.
- cording to the encyclopedia,
j The bridegroom had to hide 1
t out for a while until the girl’s
I family got tired of searching for
• them. This was the beginning of
i the honeymoon.
11 Os course, these tactics didn’t
• foster togetherness—and may
have started the contuing bat
-5 tie between a husband and his
s mother-in-law.
i The practice of being a wife
r left a girl with fewer bruises.
? j But it didn’t do much for her
r ■ pride, especially when some have
- i been known to value her for one
■ j ox.
Betrothal of children was
common among early Anglo-
Saxons. The bridegroom’s pledge
I of marriage was accompanied by
a “wed”—security for the pur
chase of the bride. From this
comes “wedding.”
“Giving the bride away” mere
ly represents the time when the
father delivered his daughter to
| her fiance, who paid up.
Among some modern tribles,
however, notions of romance
have persuaded the father to
renounce the loot, and the bride
I gets the traditional gifts.
The custom of throwing rice
I originated as a bribe. It was of
j sered to the evil spirits in an ef
i fort to keep them away from the
newly-weds.
In case you don’t know why,
the wedding ring is worn on the
third finger of the left hand be
cause of an old belief that a vein
runs directly from this finger to
I the heart.
Perhaps some June brides will
jbe interested in learning that
Polygamy in Tibet is dedicated
by economics, not romance.
Tibetan women frequently mar
ry several men, who work to
gether to support the family. So,

I home the bacon, the sweet, I

' die aisle this month can hike ;

winners.
BARBERS OPPOSE BEARDS
Havana — Cuba’s barbers’
union has issued a pronuncia

The barbers said they were all
for legitimate revolutionary
beards grown by Fidel Castro's i
rebels during the campaigning
in the hills, but that the revolu
tion ended in victory January
1, and it is time now for the
beards to come off.

The law, enacted by Congress
last year, requires adminis

WIDOWS, CHILDREN
MAY BE ELIGIBLE
FOR VET PENSIONS
Some widows and children of
wartime veterans may be eligible
for pensions and not be aware
of that fact, reports Pete
Wheeler, director of the State
Department of Veterans Service.
Pensions are not automatic,
Wheeler explained — they must
be applied for, if a person meets
eligibility requirements.
Generally, Wheeler said, these
are the eligibility requirements
for pensions for widows and
children of veterans of World
War I. World War 11, and the
Korean War:
Widows and unmarried chil
dren under the age 18 ior 21 if
attending a VA approve school)
may be eligible for pensions if
the widow’s income is less than
$1,400 a year, if she has only
one child, or $2,700 a year if
more than one.
If there is no widow, or if the
widow is ineligible, the child or
children may become eligible for
pensions provided their incomes
do not exceed $1,400 each.
The widow must have been liv
ing with the veteran from the
time of marriage until his death,
unless there was a separation
with no fault on the wife’s part.
Remarriage following death of
the veteran makes the widow
permanently ineligible, in most
cases.
Wheeler said that since there
are other limitations and re
quirements for widow’s pensions,
the various field offices of the
State Department of Veterans
Service located throughout the
state will be glad to furnish de
tails.
Or additional information may
be obtained by writing the De
partment at 125 State Capitol,
Atlanta.

HOW’LL YOU HAVE YOUR EGGS? Strictly fresh,
we’ll bet. That’s the way you’re getting them
nowadays. The Georgia Agricultural Extension
Service estimates that 95 per cent of the eggs
eaten in Georgia are produced in Georgia.
Ten years ago the story was different. Georgia
poultrymen could hardly meet half the stale’s
need for eggs. Since then the number of layers
has increased to a total of nearly seven million.
Production per hen has increased from 124 to
199 eggs a year.
The rural engineers of the Georgia Power
Company have contributed to this progress by
helping poultrymen apply electric power to time
consuming jobs. That way, larger flocks can
be managed with far less work. These engineers
have been helping Georgia farmers for 32 years
at no cost or obligation.
