the Army ana Navy League. Il

Washington Navy Yard % Easter
Monday.
I'm the sai1 loft" brought back
pleasant preswar memories ok that
bail. Tor il those days Il Was
always given III the sail loft md
somehow o. other, seemed to
Be more FUN, 5olIier and more
ENTHUSIASTICALLY military than
IL has ever been since or course
the war made II necessary thai
the Navy Yard IS closed and
since the war I think they have
needed the space too badly to
SPARE II even Tor one occasion
Tile that.

part az which - screened of
generally with flags and bunting,

corner to make room Tor the

bunting are arranged around the
room. The guests have supper
seated on bits Of machinery and
such on the first floor Of the same
machine shop. going back and
