Ambassador and Sonora de Pocuterro
Give First Large Formal Reception
by Katharine IA. Brooks

hour the several improvised bars,
where fruit juices as we'll as high
balls and cocktails were dispensed,
were popular spots. Quantities of
dainty hors d'ouevres were to be
had with the liquid refreshments.
A bar was in the ballroom, one in
the chancery. and another in the
charming playroom in the cellar.
1t was in the playroom that
the younger generation had its
own celebration early in the day.
Soledad Pocaterra. 12-year-old
daughter of the Ambassador and
Sonora de Pocaterra, was hostess
to about so of her contempora-
ries. Each of the children of men,
bers of the Embassy staff was
invited to bring a school or play
mate of the United States.
The young guests were asked for
10 o'clock and were entertained
by magician and motion pic
lures. The basement and play
room were decorated with the ma
tional colors of Venezuela and tiny
flags of the country decorated the
lunch table. Following the pic
lures and the marionette show
and the mystifying acts of the
magician, luncheon was served
and by midafternoon childish
voices were replaced by those Of
older people completing the ar
rangements for the evening re-
ception.
Assisting the Ambassador and
Sonora de Pocaterra last evening
were the members of the Embassy
staff and their wives. In the large
company wishing continued peace
and prosperity to the Venezuelan
Republic were members of the
cabinet, Supreme Court and Con-
gress. Officials of the State De-
partment also were there as were
a large number of the Ambassa-
doris colleagues in the diplomatic
corps.

A young girl writes quite frank
ly, as follows: My mother thinks
I'm all wrong and says I will be
sorry some day because I don't
encourage the friendships of girls
I much prefer to be with boys.
understand them better than I do
girls and I like the way they
think. They are not petty and
gossipy, nor are they jealous of
each other. Furthermore. under
standing boys will be a much bet
ter aid some day to getting along
with men out in the business
world. What is wrong in my
feeling this way?"
Making friends of both men and
women is as helpful as having the
use of both your hands. If it is
true that you do like men and
don't like girls, at least don't
boast of this dislike of girls as
though it were an asset. BY and
by, when you are older, you may
succeed in getting a better per-
spective on life and realize the
Importance of liking both.
A Silver SociobIe
Dear Mrs. Post: Some of the
ladies of the church would like
to give a silver tea for the pur-
pose of raising money to redeco-
rate a part of our church. The
best time to give this tea is in
the evening so we can draw many
of the husbands and other busi-
ness people who can't 60 partying
in the daytime. But one of the
ladies says that it should not be
called a tea in the evening. If
we can't call it a silver tea. what
else can we call it so people will
be sure to understand they are
expected to pay?
Answer: Why not go back to
the quaint old term of yesterday
and call it a silver sociable. Re
freshments would be the same as
for a tea except that instead Of
tea there would be coffee or
chocolate. or perhaps both with
small sandwiches and cakes. Or

President Truman was respons-
ible for the loudest looking article
that stood out against the rolling
green, bucolic Maryland country
side as viewed from Callithea
Farm on Sunday.
The article was Speaker Sam
Rayburn's shirt.
Seated quietly at table on the
lawn munching my third ear OF
corn and gazing at the calm dis
tant hills beyond the Potomac
my first glimpse of this shirt
came. quite naturally. as de-
cided shock. 1t suddenly rose UP
midst the sea of the George
Vorrnases' guests and made its
way toward the buffet in all its
stark wildness-white birds with
spiralling plumes against African
brown.
It was sported with an almost
careless casualness by the able
shouldered, unruffled Texan who
ranks fourth in the United States
Government. His bald. political
wise head covered by snazzy
straw lid. Speaker Sam pointed
out the origin of the handsome
garment that was acquired in
Key West. Up on the left shoul-
der was the date 11/9I48 and the
signature of the shirts donor
Harry S. Truman. That's when
the Democrats had the world by
the tail and every Democrat felt
like telling it to the world. And
that's just what the shirt looks
like.

Der Of workers who have been
jobless for long periods continu-
ed to rise, these reporters en-
deavOred to find out just how
great Harlem unemployment Of
long standing really was.
These surveys were taken, as
a ampling of the community from
three vantage points, On a Sum
day, khen most representative
people were out in the streets.
Of 1000 people approached and
interviewed, we found that
16 2-3 of this number were un-
employed.
Five percent OF this number
were idle because of strikes.
And 20 per cent Of this number
had been unemployed for long
peI(iods. The reason mostly ex-
pressed for this period Of being
unemployed was generally listed
as caused by prejudiced-minded
employers, who usually inform
ed the job-seeker that the job
had been taken. One particular
case was that of Fred Williams
with eight years experience as
a radio technician of 27S w. 1870
st. Single, Mr.. Williams had been
able to stand unemployment for
the last four years. He claimed
that whenever he answered ads
calling for radio technicians, he
was told that the job had been
taken. Fortunately, however, Mr..
Williams was placed in a job at
the Electro-Physical Laboratories
Inc, by the Negro organizer of
