ENTERTAINMENT IS SUPPLIED 10 ARMY IN ALASKA' Special Service Report Shows What Is Being Done at Posts HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA DE- | FENSE COMMAND Soldiers in | Alaska are a long way from going to seed mentally in spite of the lone- liness of some of their posts, and the Special Service section of the Alaska Defense Command is equally anxious to provide guarantees that they don’t. | Always interested in the morale of his troops, Lt. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., commander of the Al- aska Defense Command, has cam- paigned vigorously to carry civiliza- tion, or a reasonable facsimile there- of, to the lonely outposts scattered from the Arctic to the tip of the Aleutians. | A review of these activities, under | the direction of Lt. Col. John T.| of Pan 53-passenger clip- planned by his company will be able to take us is to say that with a week’s vacation and 1 entire week in Great Britain, or even for a few to toss in a visit to post-war Paris 50,000 passengers carried and have been established rs more than 4,302,000 pounds shipments and 2,683,000 pounds of international mail have been flown across the | Institute | have begun distributing kits |will be easy and the war is as good as won. {doubt the Nazis [ American public: Air- g slackening of ness for the sacr entail.

The the balance of place in history of the future. as transportation facilities will per- mit, and in the always popular day- rooms, men gather to read, play cards, listen to the electrical record players and study. This latter phase of off-duty ac- tivity is gathering a greater follow- ing daily in this theatre of opera- tions. Whether it reflects Alaskan loneliness or mnot, the enrollments from ADC in the Armed Forces cours is breaking all records in the service; now amount- ing to 25 per cent of all overseas enrollments Language Courses Another educational activity is the phonograph language courses, wlth‘ studies in Russian, Japanese and Chinese topping the list. Also, new orchestra are already | |budding and are expected to in- crease in numbers in the near fu- ture. The Special Service group of musical instruments and the latest orchestrations, and leaders are rap- idly organizing bands. Professional entertainers are con- tinuing their schedules of appear- aneés in Alaska and the Aleutians. At present, they are appearing as far west as Adak and in the near future, plan visits to Amchitka and Attu. These musicians, both the U. S. Carlton, ADC Special Service Of-|O. Camp Shows, Inc., troupes, as ficer, shows the Special Service group has gone far toward trans- forming army life in Alaska Air Entertainment - Small radio stations are one of the most important factors in providing entertainment at some oUtposts where, in numerous cases, soldiers could get only Tokyo broadeasts on ¢ their radios previously. These small post stations, of from 25 to 50 watts power, have already been installed at Adak, Dutch Harbor, Kodiak Seward, Sitka, Nome and Cold Bay. Five more stations, one at Attu, are scheduled for construction or have been constructed ‘The size of these stations does not prevent them from presenting pro- grams similar to those in the States. They may re-broadcast programs picked up from the United States and also use recordings made by the War Department Special Service Di- vision and if the programs are a month or more old, it makes little differ- ence to the soldier who is hearing it for the first time. e Movies are always popular with the soldiers, and the Special Service division is stepping up its movie program and speeding the schedule of new films going out to all posts. Military planes carry new 35 mm films to posts having post theatres and 61 mm films and projetcors go to the more barren spots Newspaper, Too TFhe first wave of soldiers landing on Atta included Special Service men with projectors and films, and while fighting was still well under- way, the troops had already started the “Attu Dingbat,” camp news- paper. These newspapers, also a main morale feature, range from the mimeographed Attu paper, to the comie-strip and syndicate copy prod- uct put out by the Ladd Field and Port Greely troops. New books and popular magazines are rushed to the outposts as rapidly They get the best programs, | well as individual entertainers, are proving especially popular on their | : trips where they stop for shows at isolated ' Lower lobby, Baranof Hotel.
