An 18th - century. Virginia wed- ding was a signal for a general community celebration that lasted for days, according to accounts of nuptials in the colony. Among both the fashionables of the Tide- water and the pioneers of the frontier all the friends, relatives and neighbors were usually invit- ed and dancing, feasting and mak- ing merry were standard parts of the celebration. When George Washington' mar- ried the Williamsburg belle, Mar- tha Custis, the revelry was "rare and high" according to a later ac- count by the bride's grandson. At a Norfolk wedding, according to the bride's aunt, the guests ate '** . . . chickens, oysters, tarts and fruit, with cakes and syllabubs to suit, confections, ftrifles, floating cream." LASTED FOR DAYS The celebrating, and the cere- mony that preceded it, were both usu held in the bride's home and the early afternoon was the fashionable time to start a wed- ding. Church weddings were less frequent because the parish church was often too far away. The min- ister began the ceremony with "dearly beloved" and ended it with "amazement". The guests then took over with celebrations for the next few days and nights. A Frenchman at the wedding of a Virginia overseer related that the guests stayed several nights while a wedding in nearby Maryland is described as starting on Thursday and Sout inalng until Monday. Meanwhile, e bride's family housed and fed the guests. to have stayed at the affair as long as the guests. According to one agcount, when the bride and goon I deuiteq jor their oon gue! wen ht along with them. ng STRENUOUS CUSTOMS Some of the colonial merrymak- ing customs were strenuous for the bride and groom. During the course of a frontier wedding feast, the bride had to guard her shoe. for if a guest managed to steal it she had to pay a forfeit of a bottle of wine. The bride was also the target while her attendants threw rolled up stockings at her; the first bridesmaid to score a bull's eye was supposed to be the next ride. The groomsmen also threw stockings at 'the groom to see which man would marry next. Promise Mailbox Service At Ajax AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re-| -- It was learned today a letter box service will be pro- a successful conclusion At present Ajax residents have It is understood that Herman White wasn't traditional for wed- ding gowns and the colonial Vir- ginia bride wore any color she pleased. Some brides didn't even wear a dress. The husband could escape responsibility for his wife's pre - marital debts if his bride came to the altar 'without en- cumbrances'", which meant with- out dowry or clothes. Williamsburg's "Virginia Gazette' for June 25, 1752, tells of one bride who stripped "to the buff" at such a wedding while her attendants {held a sheet between her and the minster, most women in this situa- tion got married in their under- garments. WERE VERY PRACTICAL Before a colonial Virginia wed- ding could take place, however, there were various formalities. To court a girl, a young man had to have not only her father's approval but his father's as well. Romance sometimes found a way, however, and there are accounts of young people who got married without parental approval. Both fathers were also expected to state how much money and. property they would give their children. Colonial and collec- Ajax residents will apprecisie | this service. Virginians were practical about money matters in marriage and the "Virginia Gazette'" reported the size of a girl's fortune along with the news of her engagement.

"Salesmanship deserves a high place in public esteem," vowed Mr. | Carter beginning his talk. "All of | us are salesmen of something or er. "Today I shall talk of one of the | first things we, as Rotarians, must sell. That thing is ourselves. "Salesmanship," continued Mr. Carter, "calls for those qualities which combine to make the sales! effort constructive. Insofar as it is constructive, selling tends to be efficient. "Those qualities have no definite number, but there are certain basic qualities which it is good to keep in mind. Salesmanship is as an- cient as speech itself, and must | not be taken as the sole right of | those who sell merchandise as a | vocation. "We are all salesmen, and our | success is measured by our use| or abuse of the basic princples of | salesmanship. The presidents of | many great corporations, and lead- | erg in public life owe their success | | primarily to their respective abili- | ties as salesmen, although they | have never been actually engaged | in the selling of goods. | "Most of the amenities of mod- | ern life are ours because of sales-| manshiip. Everything that goes in- to the building of a sound com- | sible because of our good selling, above self." To illustrate his point, Mr. Carter drew the groups attention Io me Rotary symbol, the geared wheel. | within the Rotary wheel," stated Mr. Carter. "I shall call this square the 'area of a man'. You will notice | that I have marked in at the side of each line the letters A, R, E, A The first stands for ability, The 'R' for reliability, the 'E' for en-| guts, and the final 'A' for ac- on." "Mr. Carter summed up his stir- ring address. "A principle of salesmanship is| persuasion, which is better than | compulsion. The man who has been persuaded feels he has gained | something. The man who is com-! pelled believes he has been robbed | of something -- and it must always | be remembered that wounded van- | ity is one of the greatest causes of | trouble and of ill feeling in all the world. "Good manners are a component | part of that fourth line. Human relations; individual relations, community and international rela- tions, would all be improved if people would only mend their man- ners.

"Why, we should have built the most gracious age in history -- an age in which we should all desire to live. "We as Rotarians have, in the very fact, from the moment we were accepted as a member, dedi- cated ourselves to the building of just such a world.

The whole world is waiting for it, THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, June 6, 1953 § Presbyterians Against Community Churches TORONTO (CP)--Lanark and Renfrew presbytery of the Presby- te Church in Canada Thursday asked the church's general as- sembly to voice its disapproval of non - denominational community churches. A resolution of the presbytery asked the assembly to notify the Canadian 'Council of Churches that "it will not and c¢ t condone this so-called community church movement." Such churches were said to be springing up in new areas and urban districts. "They do not and cannot represent a community of Christian people of all denomina- tions," the presbytery's statement The church's total Canadian membership was reported at 179,- 248 for 1952, an increase of 1,936 over 1951. There were 259 more elders in 1952 and the same num- ber of ministers--715. : Indian Saw Custer's Last Bloody Stand REGINA (CP)--One of the last witnesses of the destruction of General Custer and his American cavalry at Little Big Horn, Mon- tana, died recently at Wood Moun- tain, Sask. Indian reserve. Nupa-Ki-Kte (kills - his - victim twice), more commonly known as "Big Joe," as a boy of nine watched the Sioux forces of Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse destroy the American cavalry June 25, 1876. Big Joe was the last male sur- vivor of the forces of Sitting Bull who fled to Saskatchewan follow- ing the Little Big Horn battle. From 1877 to 1914 his camping grounds were in the Moose Jaw district. Later he moved to Wood Mountain to make his home on a reserve that had been granted his band by the Canadian government. Nupa-Ki-Kte took part in the re- bellion of 1885 on the side of Louis Riel, the Metis who challenged the sovereignty of government and was taken prisoner and hanged in Re- gina. Big Joe was buried in the burial grounds of his people. The cere- mony was performed by white lay Christians. There are no Sioux {living in the district who were | qualified to conduct the ancient na- Itive burial services. Hog Deaths Almost 2,000 OTTAWA (CP)--New cases of hog cholera have turned up on seven farms in seven southwest Ontario counties, the agriculture department said today. The outbreak which began in early May has spread to four new counties, Oxford, Brant, Middlesex and Norfolk, all south of, and close to the previously-infected eight counties.
