by their son-in-law and
daughter. Mr.. and Mrs,
Joseph Ponce of Rumson.
N. ]. Their other daughter
Katharine is in school at
Foxcroft.
Children Home
Attorney General and Mrs,
William P. Rogers have plans
to enjoy themselves with
their children. Tony, who is
home from Trinity College,
and the two younger boys
JEFF and Doug, who attend
Sidwell Friends School here.
According to Mrs. Rogers
they will all attend church
on Sunday and then have a
family dinner at home.
There is one Cabinet
household that promises to
be anything but quiet this
week end-that of PoStmas-
ter General and Mrs. Arthur
Summerfield.
Arriving today are their
son and daughter-in-law, the
Arthur Summerfelds, jr. with
their three children, Arthur
III, who is called Terry"
and who is 10; Julie Dean, 7,
and young Charles, S.
Mrs. Summerfield said that
probably the biggest high
light of the week end will be
a trip to the White House
tomorrow where the grand
children will be taken on a
tour and then go in for a
swim in the indoor pool of
the Executive Mansion.
Other "musts" for enter
talnment are a stop at the
Smithsonian In S titution
Cbut they call it 'Swisson-
ian'," laughs Mrs. s., a tour
of the zoo as well as stops at
the Lincoln Memorial and
Mount Vernon. The young
Summerfields have all done
this trip but insist on re-
peat trips each time they're
here.
Another visit always made
by the youngsters, according
to Mrs. Summerfield, is one
to their grandfather's Office
where they do some checking
up.
The Postmaster General
has stamp books for all three
children and a new page is
added each time there is a
new stamp issue.
So the threesome always
stops in to see how their
books are coming along.
Julie Dean noticed one
time that she was missing a
page which she was quick to
point out to her grandfather,
who with equal speed set
things to right.
AS is their custom the
whole Summerfield clan will
attend church services on
Sunday at the National Pres
byterian Church.
The Summerhelds feel we'll
up to the holiday events,
having just returned from a
week in Florida on their
yacht, Valcoeur.
Secretary of Interior and
Mrs. Fred Seaton will be
doing their bit for the Repub-
lican Party over part of the
