MEDFOKD M." rr.uNE,. medford, ohegon SUNDAY, FEBHU'.RY 10. 1963 Royal Wedding To Be Grandest in 1$ Years By MARGARET SAVILLE United Preii International London -(UPD- The grandest Westminster Abbey wedding since mat or yueen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip 15 years ago is predicted for Princess Alexandra and her handsome Highland fiance, Angus Ogil vy. April is the month set for the marriage of the tall and blonde Alexandra, 26, and the 34-year-old Ogilvy, a descend ant of Scottish lairds but him self a commoner. In regal splendor, if not in romantic interest, it seems cer tain that the Abbey wedding for Alexandra will outdo that of Princess Margaret and An thony Armstrong Jones in May, 1960. Margaret's unhappy love af fair with Peter Townsend, the RAF Group Captain, made her new found happiness more of a hearts and flowers event. But Princess Alexandra is un iversally popular in a way Princess Margaret never has been and Britons will give her a joyful sendoff into mat rimony. Charm Noted Alexandra's charm, for the man or woman in the street, has been her "regular girl" appeal. Margaret, despite her occasional night life fame in her younger days, always has been more aloof. Alexandra's popularity also extends lo the commonwealth and other countries she has toured and won with her out going personality. After a visit to Australia she was known thereafter to the Aussies as "The Dinkum Princess." At home, she has been called "the blue jeans princess," to illustrate her basic touch and such habits as buying her clothes off the rack in London's shops. Ogilvy has not been so much in the public eye but his family is descended from Mary Queen of Scots. He is dark and good looking, has been to the "right" schools, has been friend and compan ion to Alexandra for eight years, and quickly has won approval from the British press and public. It is likely this wedding will bring together one of the greatest gatherings of royaltj in many years. Queen Ingrid of Denmark was one of the few monarchs to attend Prin cess Margaret's wedding. But it is expected almost every European king and queen will be in the Abbey for Alexan dra's nuptials. There will be scores of princes and prin cesses. Far East royalty is ex pected to be represented at least by the King and Queen of Thailand, whom Alexandra has visited in their homeland and with whom she has be come good friends. Alexandra's bridesm aids will probably include royal princesses. Through her mother, Prin cess Marina, and her late fath er, the Duke of Kent, Alex andra is related to practically every royal house. If only her royal relatives turned up for the wedding the Abbey would be filled to its old rafters with blue blood. The wedding will be the third in a row for a member of the British royal family to a commoner. After Margaret married her photographer, Armstrong-Jones, Alexandra's brother, the present Duke of Kent, was wed to Katharine Worsley, daughter of a York shire land-owner. Although Alexandra's choice of Ogilvy has won general ap proval, there remain a few who regret that Alexandra's heart could not have been won by a real Prince Charm ing. One of her close friends who was hoping for a prince for "Alex" told this corres pondent: "She would have made such a delightful queen." March of Dimes Aids Hydrocephalus Victim Use Bread To Accent Italian-Style Meals To add variety to cold- weather meals, take a taste trip to sunny Italy by plan ning a complete Italian-style dinner. Serve minestrone soup, spaghetti, of course, with your favorite sauce, and a big tossed salad with an olive oil and vinegar dressing. To round out the theme, don't forget the hot, Italian bread seasoned with onion or garlic. Follow these directions from home economists, and your bread will be crisp, gold en brown, and wonderfully flavored. Cut a loaf of Italian bread in thick slices, but don't cut all the way through. Brush both sides of each piece with olive oil, using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with garlic salt or instant minced onion. Toast in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, and serve piping hot. MANOR-ISMS . By ETHEIYN EVANS Administrator Walter Hig gins has announced all Manor members should vote in the election to be held Monday, February 11 to decide the matter of consolidation of Medford and Phoenix school districts. He has provided ab sentee ballots for those in need of them, and has ar ranged to have our Manor bus make any required number of trips to take members to and from the voting place in Phoenix. The section of the city con taining our Manor home is in volved and we are urged to lake an active interest in the question. We can easily In form ourselves on the ub.iect by turning on radio or TV, reading news articles (see Mail Tribune editorial 2763) calling some friend in the valley who can instruct us and by consult'"!: Mr. Hip gina. A large Manor vote would be a gracious gesture, positively proving how much we appreciate our citizenship In the valley and the warm welcome we have received from one and all. LET'S ALL VOTE! First there were "six little Indians" (loyal Manor Repub licans) signed up for the Re publican Women's trip to the Oregon legislature In Salem, but sudden illness developed and then there were but four: Mr. and Mrs. Ross Blythe. Mi F.thrl Marlow, and "Manorisms". We braved the chill dark at an hour I had forgotten still existed-4 am.-to board a chartered bus that pushed through fog all the way to Salem. This kept us leaning forward to help drive, some thing that our excellent driver "absolutely needed none of ". Mrs. Everett Fabcr, an official of the Jackson County federation, took the lead in introducing everyone, distributed thermos bottles of hot coffee, passed doughnuts, and generally cheered us up no end. The trip was tun, very worthwhile, and the afternoon was sunny and warm. Visiting sessions of both Senate and House and drop ping in on committee hearings were interesting and Informa tive. Hereafter, news of pend ing State legislation should be read with more interest and greater understanding. Our Fourth District delega tion couldn't have made us feel more welcome and Im portant. Mrs. L. W. Newbry 1 By PATRICIA McCORMACK New York - IVPD - Diane Cordle, 11, plays in her home and attends school. She couldn't without the life sav ing tube in side her head. The six - inch silicone rub ber tube, in serted five years ago above and be hind the right ear under the skin, allows from Diane's skull to drain harmlessly into the jugular vein near the heart. It is called a "shunt" tube because it shunts the fluid away from the brain cavity. Diane's wearing the tube because she was born with hydrocephalus. Cerebrospinal fluid, as a result, is prevented from es caping into the blood stream by natural means. The ab normal pressure exerted by this fluid usually results In a grossly enlarged head and can cause blindness, mental retardation or death. Patrtrla AlcCormack excess fluid Under the circumstances, Diane's parents are about as excited about their daughter attending school and playing at home as the ardinary par ent would be about the ordi nary child climbing Pike's Peak! But Diane's operation isn't a medical Hope diamond. The same skillfull surgery has been repeated 20.000 times in this nation and abroad. Diane, of Columbus, Ohio, is examined every six months at the March of Dimes-financed Birtli Defects Clinical Study center at Children's hospital in her home town. The simple tube used in Di ane's case wasn't enough for Mark Harbaugh, 4, of Tulsa, Okla., another child born with hydrocephalus. Mark today Is wearing his fourth tube. The first, sur gically inserted when he was only four months old, be came clogged with bits of tis sue. His tube has a pump con trivance. When pressed, the pump forces fluid through the tube, clearing it of any obstacles. The delicate brain surgery is not employed in hydro cephalus if the neurosurgeon believes that in a reasonably short time the dammed-up flu id may drain away naturally. This often happens. But to save eyesight, intellect and life, the head circumference of a stricken infant or child must be carefully checked at close intervals, medical au thorities say. Cerebrospinal fluid nor mally circulates by way of aqueducts or channels until it is absorbed in the blood vessels of the brain. Hydro cephalus occurs when any of these canals is blocked. Medical authorities esti mate that in the United States the annual incidence of hy drocephalus is more than 15, 000. of which 8,000 are still births. Shunt surgery in hydro cephalus has progressed so rapidly in recent years that the operative mortality rate is "very slight," according to Dr. Eugenie B. Spitz, neuro surgeon - in - chief of Chil dren's hospital in Philadel phia, and associate professor in pediatric neurosurgery at the University of Pennsyl vania Graduate School of Medicine. Spitz is a pioneer In the I United States in the shunt ! technique. "The shunt technique," he i explained in an interview re cently, "is one of the safer things we perform today in pediatric neurosurgery. The operative mortality is less to day than in appendicitis." The National Foundation-! March of Dimes entered this I medical arena after the con-! quest of polio through Salk j and Sabin vaccines, financed ! by public contributions to the March of Dimes. "If our aim is to preserve normal mentality in these hy drocephalic infants and chil dren," Dr. Spitz said, "I think the vast majority of them will need some variety of decom pressive shunt surgery, "This business of parents waiting a long period of time to see if their child's head will ultimately stop growing usually results In permanent mental defects. "In these cases, time is of the essence in the preserva tion of brain function. Wait ing is most often dangerous." Flowers Art one of Cod's greatest and moil beautiful gifts to man.

Then our representatives rushed off for a round of similar visits to the three other luncheon places. In re the so-called "cat" bill. Representative Dellen back feels it is the duty of an elected official to sponsor legislation which a large group of his constituents de- sire-unlcss he finds himself personally and conscientious ly opposed to It. This bill has a serious purpose and has brought forth a wide reaction -some favorable, some against with everyone eager to cash in on the alleged humorous angle. All of this, as you know, makes i'or "right much" publicity. The highlight of the trip was the lovely tea given by our Governor's wife, Mrs. Mark Hatfield, who was really beautiful in a very becoming red taffeta silk. This tea brought al lthe Oregon Repub lican women on the trip to- eether. and we enjoyed meet ing old friends and making new ones. The day, for me. was a nos talgic experience-very differ cnt from but vividly recalling the many days spent visiting our National Congress during the years we lived in Wash ington, D.C. All this included hours at committee hearings and silting in galleries list ening to arguments and count ing votes on legislation of vital importance-not only to our northwest-but, often, to the entire nation. Some one may remember that in the spasmodic reports sent to the M.T., my theme song was: "Every American has two home towns, and one is Washington D. C"; but, well do I know that nowa days to be thrilled or emo tionally moved by a visit do our National Congress, or to Washington because it Is our National Capital, is consid ered naive, even quaint, and usually results In one being tagged with that horrendous label "Patriot". After all, U we Americans cannot or do not love and respect our country, who will, or who does? ..,J1 vol.. 5 C all k v.".-.. " HNNM Winnie Weixel Winnie's Style Salon Pres.
