Thomson, of the Episcopal diocese of southern Vir-, ginia vegan the opening prayer, @ torrential rainstorm burst. _Hatless, the president sought shelter beneath a canvas but the wind drove the water under the covering. é Then the group went into the rail- road station about a quarter of a mile away and had tea, Mrs. Hoover, her blue spring hat a dripping wreck, was just as wet as her husband. After Governor Pollard joined others for the tea at the station, ef- forts were made to take the presi- dential party back to Little creek inlet by automobile, but it took some time to gather the scattered members. A short time later the 18-hour boat trip back to the capital began. Two weeks ago the president at- tended the funeral of the late Speak- er Longworth at Cincinnati. A week ago he went to Rapidan to fish. Next Friday he will attend cere- monies at Fort Buffalo, Va. to mark the begining of construction on the Lee boulevard link connecting ‘Wash- ington with the Shenandoah national park.
