The
Rambler
!. Reyisits
Fuvorite Monse
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Several years ago, the
writer was assigned to do a
piece on a washington
neighborhood every Monday
on this page,
This took him into the
present and the past of
many interesting sections,
LeDroit Park, Mount Pleas
ant, Brookville and Twining
City.
And he also had a look at
several amazing country
estates" that are hidden
away in the woods of Wash
ington: Tregaron, the home
Of the late Joseph E. Davies;
White Oaks, the Chinese
Embassy; Mrs. Anne Arch
bold's estate on Reservoir
road and the Glover place on
Massachusetts avenue, And
he has seen some Of the
others, but not all of them.
The most amazing one of
all, and his favorite, was
Rosedale. Tudor Hall, Dunn
barton Oaks, Woodley and
the others named are gentle
mans country places, impos-
ing in varying degrees. Rose
dale is the home of a gentle
man farmer, its buccolic
atmosphere preserved so well
that you expect to hear the
lowing herd, the bleating
flock, the whinnying of
horses and cackling of hens.
And what is just as amaz-
ing is this: 1t is not tucked
away in the forest of Rock
Creek Valley. 1t is in a rec
tangular city block, north of
the Cathedral close-a block
bounded by Newark and
Ordway streets, Thirty-sixth
street and Thirty fourth
place.

A 20-year-old Arlington life
guard who recently read a
magazine article on mouth-to-
mouth .resuscitation is credited
today with saving the life Of a
4-year old boy at an Arlington
swimming pool.
The lifeguard. Pete Arntson,
a Junior at the University of
Virginia, spotted the boy, TiIn-
othey Moore floating in the
pool at the Arva motor hotel in
the 1900 block of Arlington
boulevard yesterday.
Il picked MIN up and re-
membered the article 1 had
read not long ago on the
mouth-to-mouth type of resus-
citation" Mr.. Arntson.
He said the boy had stopped
breathing. He breathed in the
child's mouth and the boy be-
gan to revive in about a minute
or so.
Timothy is one Of seven chill

President Eisenhower made a

Representative Wright wrote in
a speech prepared for the House
debate.
He stressed that the center
would be financed not by the
Government, but by private
funds donated by the public.
The site, bounded by the Rock
Creek parkway, the Potomac
River, and the approaches to
the proposed Theodore Roose-
welt Bridge, already is, owned

noted.
Mr.. Wright pointed out that

to the cultural center proposed
for Washington.

had inherited a large for

owned the Ferry Seed Co.
Her maiden name was

Mrs. Coonley died this

Rambler heard a rumor that

could see Rosedale again.
Mrs. Faulkner showed him

Such q nat ball can result

balls use up all their hooking

hitting the pins. II you're q

leave such splits consistently,
change your angle. A hook ball
bowler should check his wrist

the same trouble.
In most cases. when you have
