Show 12W The Salt Lake Tribune Memories of home and traditions Dina Paxman and Neil Jensen were married Thursday in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. A reception was given at Lion House. Hotel Utah was setting for a wedding breakfast. Family and Human Development Department Utah State University LOGAN When I ask college students to relate some of their favorite memories of home , they usually re- - member family traditions. A tradition is not necessarily something that can be performed on a stage or an artifact that can be displayed, but is a living, ongoing process that is part of every- Ms. Ashcroft life. Traditions are most of a family activities. Traditions in families can be lost, sometimes because of compromises between two married couples whose traditions are in conflict. One student mentioned some of the family traditions which had been changed because her grandfather came from another country at a time when it was bad to be a foreigner and so they abandoned their national traditions and tried to do things as the new environment dictated. Some Are Universal Some traditions seem to be almost universal. A story read to children at bedtime, the evening request for a drink of water after the child has been put to bed and the tooth fairy bringing money when the baby teeth fall out are some examples. Families often give these traditions their own unique twist. One ones - student related, When my sister and I were younger, almost every night before we went to sleep Mom andor Dad would come into our room and talk with us, and while we were talking we got our backs scratched or rubbed. Boy, how my sister and I looked forward to that! And even now, for me, theres almost nothing nicer than a back rub. Another student wrote, I remember my favorite evenings were those when Dad would come and tell us original bedtime stories. Frequently, traditions begin without even being recognized as such. When I was younger, I used to think our family never did anything special, but when I left home and was not around for those unspecial things I felt left out. I especially notice it when there is a birthday and the whole family gets together to have cake and ice cream. I didnt realize how much I looked forward to that" Stories Cherished Stories of family members have become cherished traditions in many homes. One student recalled her grandfathers tangle with a bear, and how he was saved by a friend but was scarred for life. Another. tells of a time when her grandpa found a man sleeping on his haystack, and after preparing breakfast for him was told that the visitor was Butch Cassidy. Another student tells of the time her grandmother fell for her grandfather. The two had known each other for several years, but one winter day they passed on thecidewalk and he tipped his hat She started to nod her head, slipped on a chunk of ice and down she went. That started their courtship. Another girl said her favorite story is about the courtship and engagement of her mother and father. Their family members have acted it out as a skit at family reunions. Some Just Beginning Some family histories are just beginning. One student wrote Our family folklore is just a recent one, but one that will be passed on from generation to generation. Her father had been severely burned and his healing, skin grafting and adjustments have had a tremendous im-- , pact on the entire family. Little things make the most remembered traditions. One student wrote, The tradition I have chosen to share with you may not sound like much, but to me it meant a lot and I use it today although my little boy is only 10 months old. On Saturday evenings we would gather and the girls got their hair washed and curled and we had our nails trimmed. Then we played a game. And best of all, we popped popcorn. Popcorn Memories Another student mentioned popcorn as something always present when the family got together to work out car arrangements, make plans for the coming week or make family decisions. One way a popcorn night happens is if some family member wants to talk to my Dad. The child will make a good batch of popcorn, grab some bowls and find Dad. I will always associate popcorn with my father and1 the warm moments spent while eating it One family holds a Family Kids Day. It is held on a Monday night in Hips, thighs can provoke despair By Jennifer Anderson Beauty writers get hate mail, but it is generally directed at the letter writers own hips and thighs. There is, it seems, no other area of the body that evokes such outrage, despair and misery. Luuk at my liughs!" Linda said, as she punched them viciously with her clenched fists. In her leotards and tights, the bulges on the outside of her upper thighs were not imaginary. Saddlebags they were. Ive done hundreds of hip exercises and leg lifts, but nothing seems to work, she explained. And indeed, the rest of her legs were well toned and rippling with muscle. Ive massaged my thighs, had them wrapped at a reducing salon, diet, gone on a special and Ive even put on ankle weights under my slacks at work, and I still anti-celluli- have fat thighs. Does Lindas story sound famil- iar? If it does, there is a solution. But first, our attitude toward fat and where it collects must be Fat Collects The sui prising truth is that fat belongs to the whole body. But where it collects and becomes most notice- able is generally the area that gets all the attention. What we usually do is exercise the muscles under our fatty areas, with endless repetitions, under the misguided notion that the fat will disappear. It wont Women more determined then most to lick the problem have thumped their thighs on the floor till theyre black and blue. It doesn't work, and neither does pummeling, scrubbing, massaging or wrapping (an expensive salon procedure which is questionable, to say the least). Ankle weights, while ideal for strengthening and toning muscles, wont do a thing for fat What Works So what does work?

All day long the children are excused from doing chores around the home, and dinner is a combination of everyones favorite dyshes. After supper, slides are shown of each child from birth up to his present age. It all ends with refreshments and individual presents. Work Traditions Traditions can come from work as well as play. One tradition that my family has occurs almost every Saturday. My parents have always enjoyed musicals and have records of many musical productions. We put on a stack of a records and do the Saturday work. We all work and sing the songs with the records, a student wrote. Special foods were mentioned by many students. One student said it would not be a special holiday if Danish cabbage were not served. Another said they always had Yorkshire pudding in place of bread for Sunday dinner. Perhaps these ideas will help you to evaluate the traditions you have, and may even spark an interest in beginning a new tradition in your home. In future articles, I will tell you about some of the traditions shared by students surrounding Christmas, birthdays and spring-summer Cleanliness fights bugs Flying moths do not damage wool fabrics. The larvae of the moth are the culprits and by the time a moth flies, it is beyond the larval stage, says The Soap and Detergent Association. Moths lay their eggs in the nap of the blanket, rug or sweater. The larvae that emerge from these eggs thrive in dark places and they eat the stained areas of a fabric first, the nap next and then the yarn. The best way to protect wool from larvae is to clean it regularly as both washing and drycleaning kill unhatched eggs and larvae. Unfortunately, keeping wool clean does not prevent remfestation. Mothproofing finishes can be applied after washing or dry cleaning, but many of these treatments may only have temporary effect Keeping synthetics clean is also impor- tant Synthetics are seldom attacked when clean, but larvae do enjoy eating synthetic fabrics that are spotted with food stains. Cotton and linen are susceptible to attack by roaches, beetles, crickets, silverfish and termites. In general, your clothes will fare better if they are kept clean and if your home is kept relatively bug-free. R. Monique Ebell and Matthew Ault were married Friday in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.

Sometimes the performance time slips into practice. I get so high and keyed up that when I get home after a horse show, Im in the mood to keep playing. So I play into the morning hours at' home. My best practice time is when Im winding down. int think of a time when I'm without music. I have it in my office. I have it at the dinner table. I have it I in my car. I do everything by music. I grew up with music in the family. I collect music boxes. Musics a big part of life. Playing at the horse show is another dare that worked out My claim to fame is that Ive played fpr Wayne Newtons horses. Not for ' him, but for his horses.
