De Havilland married French
Journalist Pierre Galante today
in this sleepy Loire valley town's
biggest event since the hundred
year's war.
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."
After the wedding, they drove
to nearby Beaugency for a lunch
eon at the 17th century Hotel De
L'Abbaye, an ancient Monastary
converted into a country hotel.
Miss De Havilland and M,
Galante drove to Paris tonight
and were to leave tomorrow on
a 10-day honeymoon on the
Mediterranean. Then she re
turns to London to film "The
Quest."

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.

.. the Lovely
Easter
Decorations
By PETER HILLYER
United Press Correspondent
Boston (U.R) A woman who
should know says there's no such
thing as a bargain.
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

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. .
Maine's princess was chosen
queen last night in a spin of a
wheel of fortune by Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon. For to
day's pageant, Jeanie wore a
frothy pink gown that matched
the blossoms over which she
ruled. . The festival signaled the open
ing of Washington's busiest tour
ist season. 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. The 50-a-minute
figure compares with
4,914 who went through the
executive mansion yesterday.
