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."

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

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."

Cod's greatest and moil
beautiful gifts to man.

was pinch-hitting for the Sen
ator who was off on com
mittee business, Mr. and Mrs.
John Dcllenback and Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Branchfield
were with us at a jolly lunch
eon where stale officials and
other legislators kept popping
in, being introduced and
spouting words of greeting.
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?
