News For Veterans

Americas mobilization efforts have
changed employment prospects fer nearly
every type of job in the country, whether
related to defense or not. In most fields
the number Of workers needed has in.
creased, but i'm some the mobilization i'm
pact has had reverse effect.
These facts were brought out in the new
edition of the Occupational Outlook Hand
book, prepared by the us. Department
of Labor's Bureau OF Labor Statistics, in
cooperation with the Veterans Admins
ttration.
The Handbook is used by VA in coun-
selling disabled veterans planning voca-
tional training, as we'll as by all other
F era agencies providing counselling
services.
The volume demonstrates how the ma
TONS defense activities almost overnight
have changed the future prospects of
many occupations.
For example, before the Korean con-
flict, the employment outlook for young
engineers was not bright, since colleges
were turning out graduates faster than
industry could absorb them. But today,
the Handbook points cut, the picture has
reversed: more jobs than takers.
In the teaching profession, new open
ings for college instructors will be limited
mainly to requirements for those who re-
tire There will be more opportunities at
the high school level for newcomers, while
at the grade school level the shortage of
teachers has become more acute than ever.
Medicine, dentistry, nursing and other
health occupations offer excellent oppor-
tunities for those able to- gain admission
TO professional schools On the other hand,
law will prbably remain overcrowded de-
spite the defense program.
Employment of automobile mechanics
will remain at current high levels, ana
skilled radio and tefevision technicians
will be in strong demand, according to the
Handbook.

Making Love Real

MAKING Love keaf
THE fact is. If there had not been
= real fellowship In the church
all these centuries, it would not
have lasted as it has. No outfit
can run on and on for centuries if
all it does is to provide jobs for q
few jobholders.
No, there has been real family
fellowship in the church. It does
not always come out in official &C.
tions of church boards, but the
thing is there. Preachers talk about
love, and Sunday school lessons
mention 1t. But this is not all. There
are enough persons in the church
making love real, (see Moffatts
translation of John 3:18), to more
than justify the church's existence
A poor woman who was in
the grip Of the drink habit had
a Christian woman friend. This
friend said to her, "WheD you
feel the craving coming on,
even IL It's in the middle of the
night, call me and III come
right down and wen fight II
through and pray 1t through to-
getber."
That was what did 1t. Not the
sermons, not the books on tenn
perance, but the fellowship Of a
woman who would get up In the
middle Of the night to help her
friend through a desperate struggle.
Happy is the person who finds
church where there are people
like that. For that is what Christian
fellowship Is: making the other
persons cause and troubles your
own.

In the wake of the Capitals No.
/ visitor-Princess Elizabeth-the
Capitals No. l hostess, Gwen Ca
fritz. yesterday did her bit to keep
the social tempo going.
And, if you don't believe she's
the No. l hostess here, ask the
Post Office Department.
Just this week the attractive
brunette, whose parties are al
ways rife with the dignitaries, re-
ceived a letter from California
addressed:
CAPITALS NO. HOSTESS
WASHINGTON. D. c.
That's all, except for the after
thought penned in small letters
in the lower left hand corner
of the envelope:
POSTMASTER-FIND ADDRESS
AND GET YOURSELF INVITED
Although she got the letter
without a days delay, Mrs. Ca
fritz did not invite the postmaster
to her 6 to 8 o'clock party yester-
day. In fact, there were a lot OF
people who didn't get invited
because the prominent hostess
only sent bids to about go.
I've expurgated all the MEM
bers of Congress from my list
said the raven-haired Mrs. Ca
fritz, adding quickly, tits the first
time I have had any gathering
without some Senators or Repre-
sentatives but, of course, most OF
them are away"
The legislators. however, aren't
"expurgated" permanently from
the lists since yesterdays affair
was only the first in series of
parties planned this fall by the
interchangeable wife of real estate
scion Morris Cafritz.
These parties will be small and
informal" said the woman noted
for the ease with which she en-
tertains hundreds of guests at
once, but eventually all my
friends will get invited"
For the kickoff get-together yes
terday, Mrs. Cafritz admitted,
1--WE got quite an assortment of
ambassadors coming and all sorts
of officials
Further than this description
Of her list Mrs. Cafritz would make
no mention of her guests.
The party was planned for yes
terday because Mrs. Cafritz de-
cided that most people would be
in town after the rigorS of the
royal visit and that many would
call anyway.

I planned to be at home anyway
and thought I'd have friends in
for cocktails" explained the host

Emily Post

An oversensitive point of view is
most unhappily displayed in the
following letter: will you please
tell me how I can gracefully de-
cline to be a wedding attendant?
Under different circumstances I
would be only too happy to accept.
Until my girl friend met her flance
we were inseparable and she al
ways said that when she got mar
ried was to be her maid of honor,
and have heard that she still
intends to ask me. However, I
no longer consider her a friend
and do not wish to accept. Since
she started going out with this
man she has completely ignored
me. We have not been out to-
gether for the past seven months
and every time I ask her to go
somewhere with me or invite her
to my house, she always has some
excuse. Evidently my friendship
meant very little to her and I feel

an old shoe. Will you please tell
me what I can say without being
rude?"
In my opinion, the fact of her
wanting you to be her maid of
honor is proof of how much your
friendship does mean to her. In
other words, I think that you are
failing to realize that the interests
of a happily engaged girl are in
variably concentrated on those OF
her flance-and her seeming COOL

Washington parties must be the

important Washington party and
the answer is likely to evolve out

aperitifs.
