Whether Mr.. clifford Pinchot is to
be the next Governor Of Pennsylvania
or not, the plans for the bicentenn1al
celebration of George Washtngtons
birth will be a major consideration OF
the chief executive of the keystone
State. Mr. and Mrs. Pinchot have q

and most profound interest centers on
Valley Forge, in order that visitors,
and especially motorists, who wish to
prolong their stay about this hallowed
spot may do so with every comfort and

Of the former Ambassador to Madrid,
Mr. Ogden H. Hammond, disappointed
a number of friends last Summer by
deciding against visit to Europe. Al
though she had made tentative prom

races, the Hammond family included.
Although the vogue of Europe is far
from passed, those who find pleasure in
sport spend fewer weeks there now
than they did in former times. While
