One of the more significant things about the conference was the recognition given it by high city and state officials. In addition to greetings from Mayor Wagner, Senator Javits, Senator Keating, uovernor Rockefeller and Vice Presi dent Eisenhower, himself.

So, business manager Julie Adams and her committee, Sandra Tyler, Lola Rollerson, Carolyn Adams, Juanita Clarke and Carolyn iaunders, came up with a top notch group for oarticinatinn in the rnnfornnr Thxt k.j 1 aiiv ii au Dr. May E.

We joined the throngs leaving the city tor the July 4 week end nd landed, by pre arrangement, at the Rhode Island Plaza apartment of the Emmett Crossleys.

we had alerted the Crossleys that we intend doing nothing more than relax, but happily, they had other plans. As a result, we had more real fun than we've bad in sometime. First of all, East Elmhurst's charming Ruth Harris who is visiting Frank and Myrtle Thompson and we must add; the Thompson's cute one month old Mark, well, Ruth dropped in on the Crossleys and we piled into the Crossley's smooth running New Yorker (Chrysler Corporation, please note!) and in nothing flat, well practically, we were in the fabulous rambler home of James W. Scott out in Arlington, Va. Among the pretty people over for the cook out were Ruby Bertrana, Doris Johnson, Elizabeth Conway, Laura Wakins, and James Henry Boyd, who proudly drives a 1931 model A and Just turned down an offered seventeen hundred dollars for same! and handsome as all get out Joe Carr! And we couldn't close a conversation about the holiday without telling about the wonderful time we had at the home of Arlington's Mrs.

Almeta Perkins and her son Leon Washington. It was also nice to see still pretty as a picure Blanche Barfield Irwin and Wendell Adams. And ever so suave Burt Tnttn hnc ki.n.rk..j l. absolute end!

We do wish we had more space, because then we could talk of the other happy people like Elaine Baker, Wilbur Dublin and George A.
