the grownups stood side for the tots.
1t was their day, so recognized by
everybody from the President down.
Today was the day of the annual
egg rolling on the south lawn of the
White House. At 9:30 o'clock the

inches of ground they were permitted
to occupy was the fact that they

The big policeman refused admit
lance to any adult not accompanied by
child and thereby hangs a tale of
latter day juvenile long-headedness.
In recent years canny youngsters have
built up quite a thriving convoy bust
