Já falei aqui, graças a um amável leitor, da maravilha do Photogrammar. Outra maravilha chama-se João Gama, que andou a esquadrinhar o Photogrammar. Encontrou mais maravilhas ainda, como as que abaixo se mostram. Enfim, um mundo de maravilhas. Espero que gostem. A reportagem que não se fazia com isto... saber quem eram, fazer o follow up. O livro de fotografias (atenção, editores!) que não se publicava com isto e muito mais que para ali lá sobre a comunidade portuguesa...

Mrs. Celeste Avila was born in Chaves, Portugal and has lived in the United States for twenty-one years. She writes all the script for the daily, hour-long programs given in the Portuguese language over station KROW, Oakland, California. She says about her radio work: "It has been a very great pleasure and satisfaction to be a part of a project which serves to make the people of Portuguese blood better citizens of this country. In this work, I, of course, have many contacts with the Portuguese and I know of their deep satisfaction at becoming an integral part of the U.S.

Mrs. Helen L.C. Lawrence who was born in Portugal and came to the United States and San Leandro, California when she was a young girl. She has always been active in civic affairs and was elected a member of the five-member council of San Leandro. The five members of the council elect a mayor from their group and Mrs. Lawrence was honored with this position. "I say honored though it has been mostly hard work. I was proud that I, a Portuguese by birth, should be deemed worthy of this office. The Portuguese people are well aware of the very great privileges they enjoy as citizens of this country and we all strive to be just as aware of the duties that citizenship brings." Mrs. Lawrence is a block warden in the civilian defense program
