TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) French Policemen Polite To American Women Drivers By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent Paris (U.R) French police men are very polite when they arrest American women drivers. They touch the brims of their jaunty caps in a friendlly salute, politely ask for your "permis de conduire' and do not mutter an audible word about "les femmes conducteurs." As an American femme driver newly initiated into the ways of European roads, I pass along this reassuring news as well as some other comforting travel tips to the thousands of Americans plan ning to travel by car in foreign countries this summer. Women are perfectly safe on the highways, even when lan guage is a barrier. Road signs in France and Italy thoughtfully have pictures illustrating each warning, including cars skidding on slick roads and men working. Few Sports Cars The highways are not roaring lanes of low-slung foreign sports cars throbbing with 200-horse-power motors. Most of those glamorous automobiles seem to be in the United States. Many times two-cylinder motor scoot ers passed four-cylinder midget-sized Renault as we cautiously rounded corners high on cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean. But we saw only half a dozen racy sports cars in six days travel. . Filling station attendants react quickly to pantomime when for eign words fail. My feminine traveling companion repeatedly got the gas tank filled in Italy simply by pointing at the tank with one hand and patting her-1 self on top of the head with the other. As in most cases of discovered crime, however, it is the little things most likely to trip you up when driving in strange coun tries. I honked my horn in Nice, France. I had been circling a block while my friend contacted the American Express Office for railroad tickets to Paris, since there are no more places to park in Nice than in New York. My honking was to attract her street corner' attention. . Tourist Ticketed A white-hatted policeman ad' vanced toward the car as I honk ed.. He leaned down compan- lonably and said "C'est impossi ble." Then he touched his cap Studio Announces Annual Review At Theater Here Students of Miss Pat"s Studio of Dance will be presented in an annual review Friday and Saturday, May 4. and 5 at 8:45 p.m., each day at the Craterian theater.

Everybody knows the fabu lous face and figure but who knows the girl behind them? Here for the first time is her real story with her own answers to often asked questions. And don't miss the glamour photos in full color! Marilyn answers questions like these: Are you and Joe Di Mag gio stili friends? ("Yes. but I still don't know anything about baseball") How do you feel now .about the ceiebrated nude calendar photograph? ("I'm saving a copy for my grand children.") Has anyone ever accused you of wearing falsiei? ("Those who know me bet ter know better.") The NewMarilyn Monroe by PfcTE MARTIN Out today on air newsstands MAIL TRIBUNE brim and smiled. I smiled back and honked some more. "C'est impossible!" he said more sternly, pointing at the car horn. I got the idea, but too late. A small crowd of grinning Frenchmen gathered while the policeman took my international driver's license and wrote out a long, detailed ticket. The ticket would arrive by mail, a bystander explained help fully as the policeman finished his writing and prepared to leave. I started to suggest he'd be smarter to settle for ready cash, then returned his smile in silence instead and drove off through the satisfied-looking spectators. Everybody seemed pleased with the scene. Only later did I discover from a longtime Nice resident that the fine was the least important part of the arrest. It really was the scene that counted. "Pour les touristes," the Riv iera resident grinned. Daughter Here Mrs. Jack Denny of Anchor age, Alaska, arrived' by plane Sunday morning to spend two weeks here with her mother, Mrs. Florence Laing, 2I6V2 Beatty street, and with other relatives in Medford.
