One of the most ideal spots,
if one must spend the warmer
months in or near the Capital,
seems to be the Congressional
Country Club out on River

ingly popular with members
who prefer to live there through
the Summer, and number Of
them occupy the various suites
in this Spanish type club.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper Light
bown have been sojourning
there for several weeks. He is
the former Mayor of Palm
Beach. DR.. and Mrs. Edgar P.

living out there this summer are

At the Clubhouse officers and
their families have refreshments
and play various games, after a
dip in one of the two pools. This
is particularly pleasant spot
and lucky are the Coast Artil-
lery people assigned there.
One may see from the shore
countless freighters, fishing boats
and Navy ships passing up and
down the bay and it was thrilling
to hear, as five Navy deStroyers
plowed through the water, the
three salutes for each ship from
the Coast Artillery and the an
swering salute, lighter toned,
from the ships themselves.
Anti-aircraft Practice
Airplanes drone overhead from

We would like to be able to
account for that very pleased

Glover's face as he emerged
from a Connecticut Avenue

Perhaps it was just his watch

then again maybe it was a

it something very extra special?
At any rate, he certainly looked
like a satisfied customer. He
