(Continued from Page 1)
would have taken them a ■ week
to see everything. There were
some of the first airplanes ever
flown, the Spirit of St. Louis,
some of the first automobiles, de
tailed ship models, a whole room
showing different kinds of ships
hulls, all kinds of uniforms, and
thousands of other things. A few
of the boys went over to the
animal part of the Institute.
At Airport
After returning to the hotel
and eating supper, the boys took
a bus over to the National air
port. Here there were planes
coming and going all the time.
There were planes from Capital
Airlines, Eastern Airlines, TWA,
and others. There was quite a
difference in this and Knollwood
airport.
On the observation platform
there were telescopes, and
through these the boys got a good
view of the Capitol lighted up.
After seeing the airport the boys
returned to the hotel and went
to bed.
The hotel rooms had all the
luxuries anyone could ask for.
There was a radio, fan, and tele
phone in each room.
After breakfast the next morn
ing, the scouts went out to the
Washington monument. (Mr. Ken
nedy didn’t go. He said he had
blisters on his feet as big as golf
balls.) The boys rode up to the
top of the monument in the ele
vator. Roland Bower was brave
enough to walk up and down.
Some of the boys took pictures
from the top of themonument. The
monument is over 500 feet high.
After eating dinner at Childs
with Mr. Lang, the scouts went
out to see the ball game between
Cleveland and Washington. Mr.
Lang also got the baseball tickets
for them. At first the boys didn’t
think they would get to see Bob
Feller pitch, but Gettle blew up
in the sixth inning and he was re
lieved by Feller. Cleveland won
the game, 2-1.
After the game the boys came
back to the hotel and checked
out, and went to supper at
Childs. The boys had good food
and service at this restaurant.
After supper they sat around on
the lawn in front of Commodore.
There was a very good view of
the Capitol building from this
point. At about 11:30 they went
over to the Red Circle and had
a snack. At 12 o’clock the boys
left for home. They arrived home
the next morning at 9, after a
very pleasant trip.
The scouts are grateful to Mr.
John Lang, Mr. Carlton Ken
nedy, and Mr. and Mrs. Robbins
for making the trip possible.
