Miss De Havilland and M Galante, who met two years ago at the Cannes International film festival, were married in the red brick city hall of this village of 600. All morning long limousines streamed in from Pans bringing guests for the ceremony. The weather turned suddenly warm and the first green shoots ap peared overnight on the trees along the Loire. . The bride, attended by Flear Cowles of "Look" magazine wore a grey flannel suit by Christjan Dior, who was among the guests. Miss De Havilland's six-year old son by a previous marriage. Benjamin, stood behind her dur ing the ceremony. The couple re cited their vows before Mayor Jean Prouvost, a personal friend of the bridegroom and editor of the magazine "Pans Match."

LORI NELSON iMkiuuM "UNDERWATER" c, t, mt ABOUT 4 CALORIES PER It GRAM SLICE NO FATS ADDED GRAND FOR TOAST Hollywood Bread Is Baked Exclusively In This Area By CD EC "Hollywood Diet and FRI Calorie Guide" write Eleanor Day, Box 1 027, Hollywood, Calif. IPcoillpapiinirirn Mrs. Al Littrell wrote from the State House a short time ago that "we've been simply spinning all week," and after only a few days in Salem, we know what she means. Everyone rushes from here to there and for every hour in the day, there's two or three meetings, committee hearings or engagements. In addition to the heavy schedule of Hou3e sessions and com mittee work, the popular Littrells are particularly busy since they are invited to many social events. Last week end they flew to San Francisco for an automobile show Saturday, returned to Medford in time to take in part of the golf tournament at Rogue Valley Country club and arrived back in Salem Sunday night. Monday noon after "observing" the House of Representatives during the morning, we had luncheon in the Capitol cafeteria as a guest of Mrs. Littrell and with several other secretaries. The cafeteria, which serves the employees of three or four buildings, is underground and we reached it by a block-long walk through a tunnel which echoes and re-echoes to the sound of footsteps and voices. Secretaries, being women first and secretaries after wards, talked of food, clothes and children before politics. When the talk at length turned to affairs in the House, we asked how the women members compared to the men.' It was quickly decided that like the men, some of the women members make a good im pression and others don't, but that the impressive ones are ever bit as impressive as the men. One secretary across the table vol unteered the information that there wasn't a better speaker in the House of Representatives than Maurine Neuberger. Mrs. Neuberger was absent from her desk Monday and her secretary, who sat next to Potpourri, said that Mrs. N. had flown to Mis soula, Mont., to speak at a Matrix Table of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism fraternity for women. Another secretary told us that Mrs. Littrell is well-liked by her fellow workers, and that she is considered one of the best dressed of the women around the State House for this session. ., When it comes to sheer work, Mrs. Paul Geddes, wife of Senator Geddes from Roseburg, has scarcely a rival right now. Mrs. Ged des is serving as her husband's secretary, has five radio pro grams each week on three different stations, two in Roseburg, and one in Salem, writes a front page political column for the Roseburg News-Review and has many, speaking engagements as high as three in one day. The radio programs are on politics, music and programs of interest to children. While in Salem, Mrs. Geddes tapes the programs and sends them to Roseburg when she is not flying back and forth. ... Busy Mrs. G. one day recently looked after her senatorial duties in the morning, flew to Roseburg in the afternoon to be with one of her five daughters, confined to a Roseburg hospital, then flew back to Salem in time to serve as one of the assisting hostesses at a large party given for legislators and their wives. Jlrs. Geddes also has a reputation for glamour up in Salem they're still talking about her ensemble for one important party. It was all gold dress, gloves, shoes, handbag, etc. Mrs. Geddes is a sparkling brunette with black hair and she must have made a stunning picture. Potpourri was vastly surprised when we walked into one of the Presswomen's meetings to find Addyse Lane among the guests. Addyse, who played in the Oregon Shakespearean festival in Ashland two seasons, recently returned to her home in Salem after spending a year in Mexico. Miss L. said she visited several cities in Mexico and had fmanced the trip by numerous ventures playing in the English theater in Mexico City, writing for the Salem Capitol-Journal and the Oregonian, and substituting for a time as a drama teacher in the American School Foundation in Mexico City. Some of her travel adventures and experiences she put into book form and has submitted it to an eastern publishing firm. With her hopes still focused on a theatrical career, Addyse plans to leave April 12 for New York City where she will try her luck again. While in Salem she has been working at one of the radio stations. Our Salem sojourn resulted in several new personalities cross ing our horizon such as Frances Blakely of the Oregon Journal, who tells simply wonderful stories and calls everyone honey; Rob ert Schulman, Time-Life-Fortune representative and former New Yorker who loves the big, wide-open west but thinks westerners as a whole are more unfriendly than New Yorkers; Mrs. Louise Humphrey, manager of the Oregon Business and Tax Research, a keen-minded and friendly woman who introduced us to a squirrel on the State House lawn (this was a simply darling squirrel which sat up and begged for food, just like Tippy the terrier and then followed us' down the path). Mustn't forget Harold Turner of the Oregon Railroad associa tion, and Mrs. Turner, two friendly and charming persons. Hav ing always looked askance at professional lobbyists,' we weren't prepared for the fact that they are often fine individuals well liked by everyone. i Mrs. Josie Barnett, free lance writer from Oregon City, asked to be remembered to friends in Medford and gave us a' bit of news. The new junior high school in Oregon City has been named for the late Mrs. Thora B. Gardiner, mother of Mrs. Robert Keen ey of Medford. Mrs. Gardiner served four terms on the Oregon City school board and was active in other civic work. Mrs. Barnett spoke to Mr. Schulman about doing an article on Oregon City's "straight up street," actually a municipal eleva tor, and since he showed interest, is probably now sorting over the more than 200 pictures she has taken of this unique device over a period of many years. ; Legislators are hard-worked and harassed, but they lighten the hours every now and then with a little fun. Tuesday when Mrs. Neuberger was speaking against the milk bill, Al Loucks, whose desk is directly in front of that occupied by Mrs. N., played a little joke on her. He sneaked quietly out and returning with a small carton of milk, hid it in the depths of Mrs. Neubergerls voluminous purse. O.S.

But read on, ladies, before you toss out that $2 girdle. Miss Muriel Cox, who runs a school for salesgirls, has no quar rel with the bargain basement. She means this: nothing is a bargain unless it's needed. "One of the hardest things in the world, is to convince the American woman that nothing is a bargain unless she actually needs the thing she's buying," said Miss Cox. Slim and fortyish, she is direc tor of the Chamberlain School i Retailing, which teaches young women to buy and sell and get ahead in the retailing field. Belter Than Mothers Miss Cox served an appren ticeship in several Boston de partment stores before she be came the school's director in 1944. She is a graduate of the Massachusetts School of Art and has a master's degree from Bos ton University. Women today, Miss Cox said, are better shoppers than their mothers. Their household budget is tighter; they have to make each dollar count and their buy ing habits differ in- each age group. ' Teenagers and the ice cream Spring Cleaning Should Include Medicine Chest "Where did we ever get all that junk?" And where is the homemaker who, surveying cleaning chores, hasn't asked that question num erous times? Medicine chests can be just as cluttered as any clothes or hallway closet and just as dan gerous as roller skates on the basement steps. They're definite ly a high - priority target in any housecleaning campaign. That doesn't1 mean there should be wholesale discard of the con tents. But: 1. All unlabeled containers should be thrown into the trash can. l)on't try to remember what use was made of the pink pills in the blue bottle. A mistake could be costly. i 2. All medicinal and pharma ceutical products should carry the date of purchase so that over age items can be easily detected. Argyrol, for example, loses po tency quickly while certain vita min tables have a short 'span of effective life. 3. Ointments, salved, jellies and the like, especially if pack aged in collapsible metal tubes, have an unusually long shelf life since air cannot get at the con tents to dry them out. ' 4. Some throw - it - out sig nals are solid residues in the bottom of medicine bottles, cloudy solutions and darkened or watery ointments. 5. Never have an old pre scription refilled without check ing back with the family doctor. 6. A final hint for medicine chest clean-up time: Vitamins, penicillin drugs, all the mycins, cod liver oil, even cold cream and cologne, are better stored in the refrigerator. parlor set, she said, buy their clothes and sweaters. The career girl and businesswoman are more careful shoppers, stylewise and quantity-wise. And the housewife and older women, Miss Cox said, are per haps even more cautious when it comes to buying such things as dresses, coats and hats. "Housewives buy less often but quite frequently pay more," she said. Clerks Have Pet Peeves In general, Miss Cox said, "the taste of . the buying . public for women's clothes has improved tremendously in the last 25 years." The conversation the n switched to salespeoples' pet peeves. And Miss Cox said they have plenty of them. . The most unpopular customer is one who makes the sales girl drag out every conceivable item in the store and then walks off with the comment: "I'm just looking, thanks." Then there's the "display dig ger" the female shopper who paws through all the merchan dise on the counter, upsets the displays and then buys the item that was on top of the heap be fore she began digging. i Bethel To Send Large Delegation To Grand Session central Point Central Point Job's Daughters will have about 20 members in attendance at grand session to be held in Port land, April 14, 15 and 16.

Crowns Queen of Cherry Festival Washington Balmy spring weather brought out thousand of visitors today to witness the climax of the capital's annual cherry blossom festival. To top the six-day celebration," a tuneful pageant was staged at the Jefferson Memorial, be side the tidal basin ringed by the colorful Japanese cherry blossom trees, now in full bloom. Eighteen-year-old deanie Ray mond of Lewiston, Me., was crowned queen of the festival by Secretary of Interior Douglgs McKay, from Salem, Ore. .

It was estimated that 500,000 visitors checked into town this week, alone. At the White House this morn ing, the year's record 6,094 vis itors were ticked off in the two-hours visiting period.
