June Weddings June, the month of brides and weddings, is just around the corner. There’ll be about P/a million weddings in the United States in June, and twice as many weddings here in Decatur as usual during other months. Why is June the most popular month for the altar-bound? Because of graduation from college or high school? This can hardly be the reason, because a couple of generations ago June was just as popular, and few graduated from either high school or college — and fewer got married immediately after graduation, because they had to earn a living, but house, etc., first. Perhaps the transportation problems in early America — too much snow in the winter, too many spring planting and fall harvesting tasks in the other months, are the reasons for June weddings. Another mystic influence may have been that June is named for the Roman goddess, Juno, called Hera by the Greeks. She was the mythical goddess of womanhood, of marriage and maternity. She is usually represented as the matronly type, but nonetheless beautiful. The peacock, cuckoo and pomegranate were sacred to her. Homer spoke of her as the “white-arm-ed Goddess” and the “ox-eyed queen” —a followthrough on the many “mother-goddess” statuettes common in the neolithic tells of 8,000 p. C. These small statues supposedly represented the goddess of fertility, and had the large ox-eyes mentioned by Homer as common to Juno or Hera. The ring, a symbol of eternity from ancient Ijlgypt and the land of the Pharoahs, also signified the “captive bride” of ancient times, tied to prevent her escaping. Remember the old pictures of cavemen dragging their brides into the cave? How that ring has changed today! And the diamond as “the” stone for an engagement ring is thought to have originated in Italy, where the diamond was called the flame of love. Anglo-saxons wore the ring on the right hand until the wedding, when it was transferred to the left. In some countries today, such as Germany, only one ring is given, and it is worn on the left hand until marriage, then transferred to the right.

O O Flowers On Graves To the Editor: In answer to Mr. Lase Grimm’s article about the “Maplewood cemetery.” I am from Fort Wayne, and came down Spnday to decorate my father's grave. What meets our eves on driving in but a sign informing us, “no decorations on the graves during mowing season.” Os course, nothing was said about the dead grass laying all over the cemetery that hasn’t been raked up. I don’t know why the former caretaker, Mr. Smitley, had time to do all the work and no complaints. Thank you, Mrs. Mildred Bevington, . 4110 Reed St. Fort Wayne 5, Ind.
