HO0VERS' PICN|CS
 ORDINARY AFFAIRS
President and Wife Like Any
 Couple on Outings

Washington, Aug. Pl- This ne~ ing the season of picnics. all those who have brushed ants off the table cloth will be interested in the presi- dential picnic basket which the chief executive and Mrs. Hoover take with them on their weekend jaunts into the country.
 Just as father and mother and the kids camp under the trees be- side some stream, so the president and his wife have their picnics, eat ing sandwiches out of a basket even though the whole elaborate cuisine of the White House is at their dis posal.
 Their basket is an unusually large one and it has a special compart- ment for ice. Cold drinks are car red in this. There is separate basket for fruit
 Mrs. Hoover personally oversees the packing of the picnic hamper. She makes sure there are plenty of the cold chicken sandwiches which the president likes. These are wrap ped in waxed paper and labeled. There are ham and cheese sand wiches similarly wrapped and mark ed.
 The hamper usually contains hard boiled eggs, olives and some kind of fancy cheese. And there is always plenty of fruit. Hot coffee is carried in a vacuum bottle.
 When they do not go to their sum- mer camps in Maryland or Virginia for the weekend, the Hoovers often take a motor trip into the country on Saturday taking a picnic lunch with them. They select some de- sirable spot preferably between a stream along about sundoUn. Blan- kets are spread on the ground and the basket unpacked. Often there are guests along and always several of the White House secret service men.
 The Hoover hamper often feeds entirely unexpected guests. Once it rescued three radio men from hunger.
 Mrs Hoover agreed 10 broadcast a radio talk for the H boys and girls clubs meeting in Washington. She was to do so from the presi- den's summer camp in the Virginia mountains, where they were to pass the week end.
 Early Saturday morning the Ma tional Broadcasting company sent radio engineer. an operator and program manager to the camp to handle the broadcasting. They lost their way. They were within 12 miles of the camp when their small car refused to climb the steep noun tain road.
 Late in the afternoon the presi- dents high powered car passed. An hour later one of the White House secretaries came back down the mountain to take the radio men to the camp. He brought with him the president picnic basket filled with sandwiches, hot coffee and other good things for the hungry | radio men.
