Kopp’s cousin, will turn over the

New wedding gifts needed
for changing times
MEDIA Today most people
have been working for awhile
before they marry, and traditional
wedding gifts may not be ap
propriate any more. For example,
many people have the basics like
toasters and bath towels.
Many people are giving gifts that
are more luxury items than
necessities, says Greta C. Vairo,
extension home economist with the
Penn State Extension Service.
Gifts that help the newlyweds plan
for the future and damage their
household are also appreciated.
Artwork is one thing many people
enjoy but don’t buy for themselves.
Prints, paintings and sculpture in
wood, glass or metal all make fine
gifts, provided they are bought
with the newlyweds’ taste in mind.
Pennsylvania is a good place to
shop for such gifts because of the
many arts’ fairs and crafts shops.
If the couple enjoys cooking and
entertaining, some specialty ap
pliances make nice gifts. These
include food processors and
microwave ovens. Because space
is often limited, appliances that do
double-duty are usually ap
preciated.
Giving additional serving pieces
to add to dinnerware the couple
where she serves as treasurer and
as chairman of the fund raiser
committee. Goats, veterinary
science, flowers and forestry head
up her project list this year. In the
past Miss Kopp carried vegetable
gardening, sweet corn and sewing.
Bethany Hilterman, 12-year-old,
was selected runner-up for this
years contest. She resides at R 4,
Butler, and is the daughter of Mr.
& Mrs. Robert Hilterman. She
currently is serving as
corresponding secretary,
photographer and news reporter of
the Dairy Goat Herders Club and
carries registered grade French
Alpines for her project.
To become the county’s youth
representative, the contestants
were interviewed, took a written
test, had a 3-minute time limit to
name all the breeds of goats and
sense. For patio entertaining,
quality pastic dinnerware or a
picnic basket might come in
handy.
Gifts that are an investment in
the future are both practical and
add a nice touch of symbolism at
this time in the couple’s life.
Savings bonds that increase in
value as time goes on fit in with the
emphasis on the future that a
wedding brings.
Money and household
management gifts are ap
propriate, especially for two
career couples. These can include
books about money management
iwth a savings bond to go with it.
You might also buy a filing cabinet
or other gift that encourages the
couple to have a business center.
With dual-career couples, a gift
of services might be appreciated.
For example, you might pay t have
their lawn care done for a year. Or
you can volunteer to teach them a
skill you have such as baking
bread or wallpapering.
Gift certifiates to a grocery store
or your favorite recipes and the
needed ingredients can also help a
new couple start housekeeping.
