CUNDAY mornings in Temple
- Trailer Village, Alexandria,
aren't unlike Sunday morn
ings in other parts of the
Washington area; wide-eyed
youngsters are decked out in
their "go-to-meeting" clothes
and hustled out the doors of
their automobile trailer homes
to go to Sunday school.
They are headed, not for
another trailer and a teacher
who could roll on any day, but
for the settlements roots
a two-story, frame community
house. Here, they learn the
age-old stories children al
ways learn at Sunday school.
Two features are especially
popular at the trailer Sunday
school. One is the singing, in
which the pupils emphasize
the lesson behind the song
with gestures. The other is a
storytelling device used by
their teacher, Robert Mcclure.
An artist, Mr.. Mcclure has
made flannel cutouts of vari-
Gus elements of the stories.
He places these on a bare,
flannel-covered board as he
talks. Thus, in the story of
the Creation, for example, he
graphically illustrates the
progress of the earth from
dark emptiness-shown by the
bare board-to a place of light,
animals, trees and people.
This visual method, called a
flannel graph, keeps the at
tention of the children and
Mr.. Mcclure usually is the
target of eager questions.
The present class was start
ed last July and now has an
attendance of nearly so. Miss
Vera Hylen is Mr.. McClure's
assistant.

Alice NicoIson Back After Year in West;
Local Summer Traffic Still Terrific
By Betty BeoIe

Tall, stunning Alice Nicolson,
postdebutante daughter of the
Llewellyn NicolSons, blew into
town this week with a breathless
outdoor look after a whole years
absence from Washington. Twelve
months ago she resigned her job
here and moved out to Sar Fran
cisco to join two VaSsar gals and
work in the advertising depart
ment of Sunset magazine, a re-
gional publication that deals with
travel, homes, gardens, ETC., of the
West.
Life out there, says Alice, was
wonderful. They went on superb
camping trips in the Sierras, spent
numerous week ends at marvellous
ranches and had the most heaven
ly sport of it skiing at Squaw VAL
ley or the Sugar Bowl just four
hours away from the city. Al
though she wore winter clothes up
until she left, there was frequent
swimming at private pools be-
cause nearly every house outside
of San Francisco has one. says
Alice. Once in the valley shielded
from the ocean breezes the tenn
perature rises.
What's more. says A. NJ, there
are tremendous number of un-
men and gals between the
ages Of Is and 35 in San Francis
CO and vicinity. But, Just in case
you bachelor girls have already
started packing, the Western men,
affirms this good-looking brunette,
have nothing on the Eastern va
riety.
Despite her enthusiasm, Alice is
back to stay. She wanted to see
her family and she had begun to
miss the old home town. En-
route here she stopped in Old
Lyme, Conn, to see her sister and
brother -in-law, Stratton and
Dwight Griswold, who, she re-
ports, have just adopted a one
year-old boy. Her other, sister,
Dudley, was up there too, minus
her husband, David Semmes, who
has been sent to Tokyo by the
State Department for a two-year
tour of duty. Dudley couldn't go
with him because travel by de-
pendents to that area has been
frozen,
