And what fine lot they were and what a welcome contrast to the "Youth Congress," "Youth Coun cil," "Student Union" mobs we have been contending withi Would that every Oregon 4-H'er could have been here camped almost In the back yard of the White House. President and Mrs. Roosevelt drove down for friendly chat, but they were not the only visitors. All of us, from cabinet . officials on down, made the rounds. In the heat of the day they rolled up the walls of their tents, and such a spick-and-span, apple-pie orderliness I never did see white sheets on the cots, an' everything. "Old Olory" was openly, frankly honored by these nation-wide clubs, and they acknowledged the privilege and duty to de fend It and the homeland preferably by building fine, loyal citizens, but also by fight ing, if necessary. ' rS annual "White House" reception and dance for newsfolk, . plus husband, wife, best girl or escort, played In luck this year a beautiful, clear, cool night. Mrs.. Roose velt stood alone In the foyer and received the more than 1700 guests. From there we passed on Into the East Room where the President sat, sur rounded by palms, ferns, aides and secret service men. We noticed the letter's sharpest glances were directed toward the "men" 'twould be hard for woman to conceal any lnd of a deadly "weapon while wearing one of our mod em evening gowns. One woman was so busy look ing in all directions at once that she passed the President's extended hand. When nudgsd by friend, she gasped: "Oh, my, there you are!" A large orchestra played in the East Room for dancing, but many went on through opened French windows to the fern banked roof of the conserve' torles, for a promenade or to sit chatting In the moonlight All the official rooms were fill ed with talkative groups which overflowed onto the south por tico and thence to the gardens and lawns, many taking a sight seeing trip to the President's swimming pool where the water Is colored by blue-green lights In the bottom. "'OLD drinks and light refresh- ments were available all evening, and the late buffet upper was the usual cold cut, chicken salad, potato chips and roll. Harlan Miller notwith standing, people not only walk ed on the Great Seal of the United Statu, imbedded In the floor of the foyer, but they stood upon It while eating and drinking. I couldn't like that much being funny that way! Many leading newswriters were conspicuously absent, be ing forced to hang over wires bringing terrible news of the war. A number of these had gotten permission to transfer their Invitations to members of the family children and even a few adolescent grandchildren. These young people were hav ing a grand time but, under the festive appearances, the at mosphere was tense. "THE President again demon- strated his remarkable recu perative powers. Whereas but a day or so before at a garden party he had looked weary and worried, he radiated pep. vital ity and cheer at this reception. He did. however, retire to his study very early, but Mrs. Roosevelt was everywhere, ex tending gracious hospitality. Most of the official cabinet and their wives attended Mrs. Woodrlng and Mrs. Edison com ing without their husbands, the secretary of war and the secre tary of the navy. In the crowd was Clarence Strelt of "Union Now" fame. Seemingly not an Inn. man I hesrd his book reviewed by his I Drotner. who stated that Clar ence Strelt had been forced to charge a high fee for his lec turesto cut down the manr requests. Also, that large con tributions of money and offer? of help were rolling Into their heariniiarir- am , . . 1 " 1 . 1 1 urn it iiuw. oince lew oemoe racies remain to form his pro posed union, no doubt the bot torn has dropped out of his or ganization.
