Washington, D. C Spl.)
4-H club" joungsters have been
11 over the place! 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 , . .

at Its present rate.
Fifty-four years ago the waih was a mere trickle following a wagon track. But settlers
overgraied the land and cleared away trees and brush, baring the land for the ravages of
water. Today the federal government Is struggling to check the great gully which threatens
to turn the whole fertile valley into a forbidding chasm.
