Visit of Queen Elizabeth
Brings Reporting Problems

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

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.

Slenderella President Says
American Women Unhappy Lot
By ALFRED LEECH
United Press Correspondent
Chicago OF Larry Mack,
who built a fortune on a shrewd
understanding of female psy
chology, contends that American
women are "an unhappy lot."
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.

izer for house plants and may

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

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,

Are You Really Ready
For that Wedding?
John and Joan are going to
get married. 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. Do you understand that
women behave differently from
men in many ways, and that
compromises and allowances
must be made between the
sexes?
7. Do you handle money wise
ly? 8. Are you competent in han
dling your part of the responsi-
