IT SEEMS THAT Elaine and I were aiiead of the trend. The big new thing in weddings these days is smallness! There is a trend away from big weddings that are gaudy affairs with all the trimmings and hundreds and hundreds of theyve developed huge appetite-,- ' This is good. In the old days, weddings were so large and unwieldy that the bride suffered a nervous breakdown, the groom got drunk, and the father of the bride went bankrupt trying to bankroll the affair. In addition, at large wedding relatives got into fights, the best man would try to flirt with the chief bridesmaid (w ho was married) and three other maids of honor w ould get into a brawl about v, ho w as to catch the bride's bouquet. Why cry the day of the wedding? This I could never figure out. And there were ahvayt, two or three elderly ladies in the church who cried all through the ceremony. MAYBE CRY five years later when the marriage is on the rocks, and the bridegroom has run away to Brazil with his secretary. But w'hy cry on a wedding day? Weddings are. or should be, happy occasions. Still, it is traditional for women to cry at weddings. Especially the bride s mother ' . the If the brides mother doesn't neighbors and die relatives tu'k. a" she is almost blacklisted from the family 1 a molher who recently saw her oldest daughter married. I know It so happened that the daughter, a little on the plain side, caught herself a wonderful fellow', nice looking with a good job and a fine future. He w'as a real catch, and the mother was overjoyed at her daughters good luck. Still, at the wedding ceremony she had to cry, and she didnt feel like crying. But everybody was looking. She had' to pinch herself on tiie thigh to bring the tears. Perhaps, the brides mother has the right to cry at a wedding. And perhaps even the bridegrooms mother can sheu a few tears. But why aunts? AT A RECENT Sail, Lake wedding a maiden aunt of the bnde almost broke up the ceremony with her loud sobs. They had to stop the ceremony and lead the lady out of the church ur.d stretch hei out on the law ard give her artificial ' respiration. It turns out this aunt hadnt even seen for more thar 20 the bride her niece and hadnt evpn sent her a Christyea-- s, mas card ror the past decade Mn cant cry at weddings. Women can. And they talk about equality of the texe. If the father of the bride cries and he has reason to because hes paying for the deal people will say hps drunk Even the father of the groom has a after all, hes got to find right to try the kid a job. I am glad there is a trend away from large V'eddwgs. Old maiden aunts are going to have to find a new place to cry in like, maybe y the movies! SAD CYNIC, SAYS- - Show me a man who will beat bin boss on the golf cours, and Ill show man who will do other fooli.ii yon things, too! i helps their morale, she says, but fruits expensive unless you can get good buys. She also notes more milk could be used. She also suggested more creativity in the meals serving Spanish American food, oriental dishes, or casseroles. says jail chef guests. The trend in modern w eddings is for a small ceremony with only the immediate family of each of the principles and a few intimate friends. THE aud sajs XX C to do is think . . .

V And that disturbance was caused by prisoners who just wanted to make trouble about something, jail Capt. Arthur E. Allen and Lt. Lee F. Crebs agree. Both men were assigned to the jail a few days before the riot A,, j ' , i ?"" No Special Dieting Mr. Yocom points therpre no facilities for special diets ulcers, low sodium, Kosher food. Food's put on the plates, and inmates can choose to eat it or not, he says, noting milk is given to prisoners with ulcer problems. Vitamins are given to persons to be held over 60 days. What does jail food cost? This years county budget is $60,000. Alieady, $23,825 has been paid out according to the County AuJitpr Gerald Hansen. Last year, the budget was $72,000 but that included a conversion period which changed the old system where the sheriff was paid to feed the prisoners and could keep any savings. The 1971 Utah Legislature changed Halloween salad of chopped carrots and bulging raisins. The potatoes are great, milky but not mushy. Oh yes, coffee. Foam cups keep the java hot. Its better than that at the office, but you know it wasnt mountain-g- i own. Or you can have Kool-Ai- d punch. No salt, pepper, catsup or salad di easing. Not fancy, but adequate, and if the truth must be told, not too bad a lot better than meals youve had at banquets or eaten in college cafeterias. And you dont have to tip the waiter.
