The
Rambler
-. Goes to q
Gurden Party
By GEORGE KENNEDY

To use a political term, the
azalea has swept the East.
People travelled to Charles
ton, S. c., some years ago by
train, and still do, by train or
plane, to see the azaleas in
bloom In late March or early
April.
More recently, Norfolk, Va,
has become an attraction for
tourists before the opening
of the Virginia Beach season
by planting thousands of
.azaleas in its parks.
While Joseph E. Davies was
alive, his Tregaron, the fab
ulous estate in Rock Greek
valley across Connecticut
avenue from the Zoo which
contains a nine-hole golf
course, would be open to the
public at azalea time for an
admission fee of $3.50 or so
which went to some worthy
cause.
But no more. None of the
big estates, Col. Guggen-
helms estate in the valley, or
Mrs. Herbert Mays Hillwood
(she was Marjorie Post) will
be open for the public to fee
a favorite charity.
Perhaps it's because citi-
zens of the suburbs-and
that may include you, GER
tainly your neighbors If
you're a Suburbanite-are
putting on such an azalea
show of their own.
Front yards are aflame.
The azalea season is APP

Subcommittee Counsel Dom

Federal report estimating that
the Washington warning sys-
tenn was 80 per cent effective

effective; in Fairfax County, 5
per cent; in Montgomery
County, 16 per cent, and in
Prince Georges County, 7 per
