Title (alt.):
Out these January sun bathers look like a pretty good advertisement for Washington, where temperatures reached the 75-degree mark. Testing out a hotel roof in the capital are (left to right) Janet Matheson of Edmonton, Alberta; Patty Ann Barnes, Westfield, Mass., and Helen Davidson of Dallas, Tex. Still, life isn't bad in Boston in January with 60-degree temperatures.
