In June
Wedding vows were spoken on
June 20 in the United Methodist
Church by Miss Teddi Travis,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
A. Travis, and Terry Croghan, the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Merritt
Croghan of Tacoma. The double
ring ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Donald Maddux, Vicar
of St. David's Episcopal Church.
In the presence of 250 guests,
Frank Travis gave his daughter in
marriage. She was gowned in
white silk organza styled with a
portrait neckline and cap sleeves.
Appliques of vertical peau d'ange
lace accented the empire bodice
and the princess skirt. Motiffs of
lace fell the length of the chapel
train. She wore a picture hat of
silk organza and matching peau
d'ange lace, and she carried a
bouquet of orchids, roses and
stephanotis with salal.
Rhododendrons, peonies,
gladioli and satal decorated the
church. Streamers-connected the
pews, which held white bows and
Mr. and Mrs. Terry Croghan

her beaded purse. The mother of

yellow chiffon with matching hat,
also wore an orchid on her purse.

All over the sky. i have a friend who is sold on house annex.

1 went to church last Sunday.
Nobody knew a thing about it but
God and me. The sunlight
streaming through the cedar
boughs rivaled any stained glass
window in the world, and 1 was
surrounded by an anthem of
birdsong. The sermon was
delivered by my conscience, a
pastor who pulls no punches.
I have always been an
enthusiastic gardener. When my
boys were small, they tagged me
around the garden while 1 worked
and 1 taught them the correct
names of my many plants. One
day I received a regretful little
note from a neighbor saying that
her children would no longer be
organic gardening. She has some
sort of a working arrangement
with the bugs and they give her
no trouble. I asked her how she
grew such lovely plants without
the aid of chemicals. "I talk to
them a lot," she said You should
see her roses.
They are the undisguised disgust
Of all the neighborhood.
She sprays not; neither
does she dust,
And they are good.
High on the list of remarks
that tend to terminate any
tendency on my part toward a
tentative friendship is the
inevitable one: '+Why don't you
sell it and move into town?"
Running a close second is "Get
rid of that horse before he kills
somebody!" But the one that
really makes my day is "I like
your poems. You should have
been a writer."
How sad that dactyl and trochee
I've studied long and well
To find that 1 have no story
Nor any truth to tell.

On the "Broken Toe Ranch" specimensot many types, old Chinese
near Lakeland Village there lives a In her greenhouse grow dogs-a regis
lady who is so very accomplished seedling evergreens and orange a p a r t-
in so very many fields that she trees. During the winter she usesit C h i h u a h u
never knows a dull moment, to propagate cuttings and start crossbreed.
Mrs. Elma Niepoth is skilled in plants from seed. pound Ch
all sorts of handicrafts and she
fashions innumerable art objects
including intricate miniatures; she
is more than handy with a hammer
and a saw, and she has built, among
other things, a greenhouse; she is
no mean performer with a+shovel
and a spade, and atte$1~ag to the
fact are her landscaped grounds
and gardens. She is a rockhound
and a beachcomber and she has an
admirable display of driftwood
and stones. She collects bottles and
brass bells. She is a horsewoman,
and spends hours in the saddle.
But first and foremost, she isa
gardener, and her specialty is
grafting. She started her
experiments in this field 20 years
ago, with only the knowledge
supplied by Mr. Webster in his
dictionary; now, she herself could
undoubtedly write a book on the
subject.
For root stock, Mrs. Niepoth
uses whatever is available; this is
very often wild apple, onto which
she grafts varieties such as
Gravenstien, McIntosh, Jonathon,
and other favorites. She prefers to
make her grafts with pencil size
wood, and she will use next year
the wood which makes its growth
this year.
Although she has many grafted
trees, her special pride is a tree
whose varieties include McIntosh,
Jonathon, two types of yellow
Delicious, two kinds of
Gravenstien and a red crab apple.
One graft bore fruit attaining
weights of one and ,a quarter
pounds. On these, Elma applied
adhesive tape in such a way that
when removed after the apple had
ripened, names and designs were
imprinted.
Mrs. Niepoth grafts other trees
also. "One can graft seed fruits to
seed fruits and pit fruits to pit
fruits," she explained.
She has grown trees from seed.
A walnut tree planted in 1947 bore
for the first time last year,
producing a total of 13 nuts. A
seed-grown peach tree produced
quantities of bloom this year but
no fruit as yet. She has tall maples
raised from transplanted seedlings.
Elma has raised many of her
splendid plants from cuttings;
these include countless roses, old
as well as new varieties, flowering
Elma and her husband Harry
who have lived in their present
home since 1945, are members of
the Veterans of World War One
Post and Auxiliary of Belfair, and
they belong to the Silver Stars
Saddle Club. They have a son,
William, who is a college professor
in California; they have two
grandsons.
Family pets include a 14 year
