TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Visit of Queen Elizabeth Brings Reporting Problems By GAY PAULEY Uniied Pres Womin'i Edifor New York "Pi Behind the scenes, preparing to cover the Queen's visit: On mo?t assignments, a re porter's standard equipment is notebook, sharp pencil, sharp eyes and ears, and coins for the nearest telephone. Covering the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to Canada and the -United States promises to call for all these, plus. Plus formal clothes, plus dealing with protocol, plus the stamina to trail her majesty by plane, train, car and shank's pony from her arrival in Ottawa October 12 to her departure from New York in the wee small hours of Oct. 22. Plus, I might add, a healthy expense account. The Queen's 10-day schedule, which includes visits to James town, Williamsburg and Wash ington, is so crowded I'm won dering how she will find time Knights, Sisters Choose Delegates; Initiation Planned At a meeting of Talisman lodge, Knights of Pythias, held In the Pythian building last Mon day evening.

PATRONIZE YOUR LOCAL HOME OWNED AND OPERATED PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO! hawthorne 33 Hawthorne Ave. to powder her nose. Has 1,000 "Companions" More than 1,000 reporters and photographers are set to trail the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, from the glorious beginning to the weary end. Canadian and U.S. officials call this a record turnout for such an event. Women reporters are claiming special problems one of them, the eternal question of what to wear. And, how to get it packed, once we've decided. Do w-e re move gloves to shake hands, if any of us gets that close to the Queen? Do we curtsy? And what do we call her? On plane flights, we have the 40-pound weight limit on lug gage, which gives me room for one suitcase and a typewriter In the suitcase, I somehow hope to crowd two formal gowns, one of them left over from her coronation in 1953. a couple of suits, makeup, lingerie, and extra shoes. Queen's Luggage Abuandant The Queen is traveling with 95 suitcases and trunks, plus entourage of personal maids and ladies-in-waiting to help her with quick changes. Which should take care of a different costume for each event, including about a dozen formal occasions. We won't be able to tell you what the Queen is wearing each day until she is dressed. Then we get the word. Her staff has drawn up a code book for this tour. So if report ers are told Elizabeth is wear ing hat "X", shoes No. 92, and coat No. 12, we will be able to check exact description of the costumes by her favorite de signers. Hardy Amies and Nor man Hartnell. Just what jewels she will wear also are secret, although it is known the Queen owns a fabu lous collection. She has at least seven diamond tiaras, assorted diamond brooches, pins, and necklaces, plus bracelets, ear rings, watches and jewelled orders. She reportedly owns at least 20 pear necklaces. She wears few rings, other than her wedding and engage ment bands, for good reason. Handshaking is easier without them and Elizabeth probably shakes more hands than Presi dent Eisenhower. U.S. Ladies: Skip Curtsiet Lady Stephenson, wife of Sir Hugh Stephenson, British consul-general in New York, sug gested that Americans who meet the Queen skip the curtsy. Don't remove gloves "in England, ladies keep their gloves on," one British source told us. But Lady Stephenson said Eliza beth has no special preference in this matter. Any girl who meets the Queen is supposed to address her first as "Your Majesty, and if she continues to talk to you, call her "Mad'am." The U.S. and Canadian gov ernments also outlined some "ground rules." Reporters are advised to avoid "undignified crowding." We are to "maintain respectful distance" from the royal couple, although that dis tance isn't spelled out in feet or yards. And we are instructed, "ac cording to protocol, no one ad dresses Her Majesty or -the Prince Philip without having been addressed by them first." Sounds as if reporters, like children, should be seen and not heard. Studio of Photography Phone SP 2-6829 Friday.

Mack, 39, president of Slen derella International, also be lieves that "women are smart er than men." Maybe that's why they are unhappy, he said. "Women must be needed, wanted and loved," Mack said. "But in this country we've feminized men and masculinized women. I wonder if it's a good thing." Like(most men, Mack says he doesn't understand women. But his career indicates otherwise. Seven years ago he had S1.000 and an idea. This year his 193 reducing salons will gross about 35-million dollars. Business Fairy Tale Students of business will tell you that the growth of Slender ella is a modern fairy tale, bas c5 on one of the shrewdest sales pitches of all time. When he was a boy back in Kansas City, Mo., young Mack noticed that a good many wom men went to church, the beauty parlor, and hardly anyplace else. "The church took care of their souls and the beauty parlors First of Dionne Married Today Montreal (IP) Annette Dionne, first of the famous quin tuplets to become a bride, was married to a 24-year-old finance company executive today in a simple Roman Catholic cere mony. Annette, one of the four sur viving 23-year-old quints, and Germain Allard knelt at a church altar and exchanged wedding bands while a small group of relatives and friends watched. Despite efforts to keep the wedding strictly private, nearly two dozen photographers and reporters rushed through a door someone had found open at the rear of the church and joined the small wedding party around the altar where the ceremony already was under way. The mas was held in the round body of the church, in which the altar sits in the center with benches on all sides. The Rev. Germain-Marie La- Londe did not halt the proceed ings but glanced with sharp an noyance at the newsmen. The couple had hoped to con fine the service to a small group of relatives and friends they had invited. A table in the church basement was set for only 24 persons for a champagne luncheon following the cere mony. Annette thus left the fame of her girlhood behind and em braced what she hoped would be the anonymous role of house wife. Only two of the other quin tuplets, Marie and Cecile, were there. Yvonne was in a hospital with Asian flu. Emilie died dur ing an epileptic seizure August 6, 1954. Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne, parents of the quints, drove to Montreal from Callander, Ont., Thursday and Annette walked to the altar on the arm of her father. Allard's father, Pierre Allard, a janitor in Drummond ville, Que., was the bridegroom's best man. It was learned that Annette had promised to marry Allard last September 15, the elder Oregon Nurses Elect Portlander President Pendleton (IP) The Oregon Nurses Association had a new name and a new president today after winding up its busy three- day convention in Pendleton Thursday. Elected president was Mrs. Evelyn Conner, personnel direc tor of St. Vincent's hospital in Portland. She succeeded Gene vieve Pattela of Pendleton. The delegates from all parts of the state voted to change the name to the Oregon Nurses As sociation. It used to be the Ore gon State Nurses Association. The "state" was dropped be cause of confusion with state health agencies. Cold tea makes a good fertil izer for house plants and may be used as an insecticide as well. House of Beauty NOW OPEN i FOR BUSINESS 309 East 8th St., Phone SP 2-8226 Open Daily, and Evenings by Appointment Pat Curney Ellon Marsh Anise Hobbs Charline Watkins, Receptionist tool: care of their hair, he said. "But. nobody took care of their figures, and a lot of the women were fat." Mack sold cheap real estate and other sundries before he became convinced that a busi ness should fulfill an insatiable need. He reasoned that every wom an is a Cinderella, waiting for a fairy godmother to wave a wand and make her a princess. Mack supplied the wand. Mack, who looks a little like George Gobel and talks a lot like the late Fred Allen, quip ped that his business is "a com bination of sex and science." When he launched Slender ella, he knew that reducing par lors had a past that was not al ways savory. So he retained em inent medical consultants, hired a University of Ohio professor to design a special vibrating tables, and got nutritionists to formulate diets. "We make no wild claims," he said. But since 1950, he estimated that his swank salons have shav ed four million pounds off of 400,000 women and trimmed their dimensions by five mil lion inches. "I'm just trying to make them happy," he said. Quintuplets in Montreal Dionnes' wedding anniversary. The news of their plans was leaked by Oliva Dionne early this week, and was first denied, then confirmed, by Allard. The newlyweds will spend a week-long honeymoon in the Laurentian Mountains, return ing to live here. Annette, who beats her sister Cecile to the altar by more than a month, met Allard at a party two years ago. They dated steadily for a year before the surprise announcement of their wedding plans last week. Cecile, who will marry a 26-year-old television technician, Pierre Langlois, November ' 23, was thought to be the first quint with, marital intentions.

Their heads Nare in the clouds, and their eyes are full of moonlight and romance. They are bursting with happi ness, excitement, and anticipa tion: love, they tell each other, is a great thing. But e-ery once in a while, in the calm light of day, they wonder about them selves and about marriage. They think they are ready for mar riage, but they want to make certain, beyond any doubt. How can they be sure? Dr. Paul Popenoe, director of The American Institute of Fam ily Relations in Los Angeles, suggests ten questions for marriage-readiness. He asks: 1. Have you received a mod ern, scientific, and complete sex education? 2. Have you,, been "weaned" from your parents and are you able to make your own deci sions? 3. Are you emotionally ma ture? 4. Do you get along well with most people? 5. Do you feel you understand your own personality and that of your partner? 6.
