Now doi't be alarmed—this column is not turning into’'a horoscope and we're not claiming to be able to tell you the answers to your Heart and Home problems. No, we are simply inviting you to the first of Jhe Club’s Birthday Parties if you wre a Serviceman or a GSO girl |with a birthday anytime dufring | August. The party will bé given in | he Clubhouse on Friday night of his week at 9:30 o'clock. It is ! slanned to have a similar celebra< sion” once each month for all the ! fellows and girls whose birthdays fall within the morth then cur- ent. Incidentally, the card on | which those born in August have egistered carries the names of 22 | Servicemen .and only one girl. This percentage appears to belie the tigures we seem to recall seeing somewhere, sometime that statistics showed that eight and six-sevenths 3irl babies are born in the United States fotr every five and three- s boy babies born, or maybe ¥ just the reverse—or maybe it didn't apply to the month of August, or something, Anyway, whatever ~that percentage, the shances of your having a fine time at our party oh Friday are 100 percent, we hope: TALENTED TOM MARTIN We'd been told by his friends in the AWS that Soldier Tom Mar- tin did excellent sketches. So when we asked Tom to giyé us an eve- aing drawing the portraits of some of the fellows and girls at the club- nouse, we were sure we could count on first-rate results, Even at that, | 1owever, the work he did last Fri- iay was surprisingly fine. Especi- (ly suecessful was his pencil por- rait of Mary McCormack, our new- st and handsomest. Staff mem- ser. Come in and ' compare for sourself- the sketch with the sub-' ! ject, both of which when last seen | were adding' much ‘to ‘the charm »f the USO lobby.

Tom is from Paducah, Ky., and he studied art at Murray State College. He's ‘promised to give us another evening of sketching at the Zlub in the near future. AMAZING ACCURACY That certainly was a remarkably ccurate estimate made by the win- 1er of the Club's latest Bean Guess- | ng Contest.
