Coolidge's first Sunday as President
of the United States was typical of
the man.
In the morning the President at-
tended the First Congregational
Church.
Accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge
and Mr. and Mrs. Frank “1 Stenrns
of Boston. the President arrived at
the First Congregational Church.
Tenth and G Sireot. a few minutes
before it o'clock. The Rev. Dr. Jas-
on Noble Pierce. the pastor. at long-
time friend of the Coolidges and.
like the President. a graduate of
Amherst College. met the Presiden-
tial party at the door of the church
and escorted them to a pew in the
fourth row from the pulpit. on the
right aisle it having been occupied
by XV. Murray Crane of Massachus-
etts and his family when Sir. Crane
was in the Senate.
A fairly large crowd was waiting
outside the church to get a glimpse
of the new President. The crowd
greeted him respectfully and he lift-
ed his hat in response. The motion
picture lmn were busy for a time.
It was commuhlon day at the
church. In his sermon Dr. Pierce
said that it seemed a coincidence

There were the only references to

In the afternoon he received a

announced that all of the visits
were \of a personal nature and that
matters of State were not touched
on. ’
Senator Brandegee. who called in
the late afternoon. remained with
the, President more than an hour.
The rumor spread that the Con-

original League of Nations irrecon»

forelock in an effort to line up the
President on the side of the Sea—
atorial group. which is opposed to

is that Senator Brandegee did not
mention the Vi'orld Court in the
course of the visit.

Marion Hayes, of Belden Avenue, Returns from 14,000
Mile Auto Trip Across Continent and Declares She
Likes Norwslk Better Than Any Other City in
S .—-Westeruers Are More Cordial.
a: KATHLEEN lichen;
Y
,s
That the much-heralded beauty of
the west, fades into insignificance
when compared to Norwslk is the
opinion of Mi. Marion Hayes. who
has Just returned to her Belden ave-
nue home after a 30-day motor trip
across the continent.
During that on... Miss Hayes. who
in. party stopped at many of the
larger cities of the. west and middle-
west. The trip was madd leisurelY.
thus giflng them ample opportunity
to see the cities. Audit. is the belief
of Miss Hayes that for natural
beauty the west must still how be-
fore staid. old New England.
The open spaces immortalized by
fiction and scenario writers gave her
no thrill. she says. But then. maybe
it was because she did not. meet any
debonair cowboys. who were "quick
on the draw and rolled their own."
The west. is so flat. according to
Miss Hayes. that to one whose eyes
are accustomed to drinking in the
beauty of such picturesque hills as
we have here in Norwalk. it appears
desolate and barren.
“In the middle west." she ex-
plained. “one may look for miles into
the distance without sighting a sin-
gle hill or tr. . Such scenery soon
becomes monotonous and it didn't
take very much of it to make me ap-
preciate. Norwalk." '
Miss Hayes. who is a dyed-in-the-
wool easterner. full of the energy
attributed to inhabitants of this sec-
tion of the country. marveled at the
slow-moving westerner.- with his
breezy manner and drawung voice.
However. she found them very hos-
pitable. in fact. more cordial to
strangers than the average easterner.
Explaining the itinerary of her
trip. she said." We went to Chicago.
I found Chicago very much like. New
York.,with its crowded thoron h-
’fares. although Chicago lacks t a!”
indescribable something which
makes New York unlike 'any other
city in the world. From Chicago we
we went. on to Denver. The climate
there is delightful. but the city it-
self—" she laughed. "You see. I am
so prejudiced in favor of Norwalk
that I measure every other city by
it and I can truthfully say that in all
my travels I did not come across
one city' which tempted me to
swerve my allegiance to it.
”We also visited the Grand Can.
yen and it cast such a hypnotic
spell over me that Lam at loss to
find an adjective which will do full

Just, as everyone who visits New
York ants to see the Statue of
Liberty. so does everyone who goes
to Los Angeles plan to visit Holly-
wood. “'hen Miss Hayes returns to

Both she and Doug "shot." some

The return trip was made by way

Miss Hayes continued. “we went on
