Miss Salmon to Bow
Here This December
Randall 4ogners Are in Family House;
Rehoboth Beach Has washington Colony"

is enjoying the last of the summer
at Newport.
Even the beach has an occa-
Sional rainy day. Coping with
bored parents on these occasions
is no problem to Ginger, who has
not yet become a teenager. She
then takes on her father at a fast
game of gin rummy and many
times beats him.
Also proving that this resort
is haven for parents and chill
dren alike are Alex. Hagner's
brother and sister-in-law, MIR. and
Mrs. Randall H. Hagner, jr. They
plan to be in Rehoboth until after
the middle of the month with
their six young ones.
Hoener's Gum House
Finding a roof to cover eight
heads is no easy job but the
Randall Hagners have a perfect
house to do just that. Their place
is called the Gum House which
they just bought this year. Mrs.
Hagner is the former Miss Ad-
lunia Sterrett and the Gum
house has been in her family for
many years.
It originally belonged to DR..
Francis Gum of Frankfort, Del,
who was Mrs. Hagner's grand
father. Mr.. William Sterrett, a
grandson of the first owner moved
the house to Rehoboth and this
year its deed changed from
brother to sister. 1t is one of the
most charming places there but
what is more important is that it
can take care of a big family.
North to South
To find localities at this resort
one must go to the northern part
of the town which is called Hen
lopen Acres or to the south where
there is a little settlement of
houses nick named the Washing
ton Colony.
Washington Colony has a beach
of its own and one would hardly
know that it is over a hundred
miles away from Pennsylvania
avenue. Among those there now
are Mr.. and Mrs. Robert w. Flem-
ing who are staying at Mr.. Flem-
ing's parents house, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert v. Fleming. The place is
right on the beach with a large
sand doom in front Of it sporting
a sign. Mount Fleming.

Tracy Place residence for a sum-
mer by the sea, is Mrs. John Lewis
Smith with her grand children.
Still more are Mr.. and Mrs. John
Z. Parker, the Argentine Am
Eassador and Sonora de Paz, Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Tillson, DR.. and
Mrs. William H. Jenkins and Mr..
and Mrs. Douglas Whitlock.
The Whitlocks' twin daughters.
Judy and Sandy, have returned
from Europe where they went on
a real Cooks tour. They went
through France, Switzerland, Italy
and England and making it a
threesome was Miss Carol Bing-
ham, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Mackay Bingham.
Go Separate Woys
Both the Whitlocks were grad
uated from the National Cathed-
raj School for Girls this spring
but will split up for their college
days. Sandy plans to go to Duke
University and Judy to the Uni
versity of Indiana.
A very important member of the
Washington Colony is the jenkins
son Bill, who this summer is the
life guard on the community
beach. He is a student at Ran
