They had to funds on hand, arl they were hungry and vety tired. A soldier at the Army camp tele- »honed us, wondering “whether the USO: could ‘take care of these fel- | lows?" The answer was: “Most cer- tainly. Send them in.” A half-hour fater they were with us) about a | a long over-due supper. that they were headed for assign- ments at outposts so lonely and to receive mail oftener than once for twice in the next 18 months. Several of these fellows were Vel young and had just finished their basic training.

For a while | talked with us or wrote letters home. Then, nearly worn out from their tiring flight, most of them went un to bed . But the three youngest stay- ed downstairs to play cards with Mary. When this war is over and a lot of people have nearly forgotten there ever was a USO, personally | | we expect for a long while to cher-| lish a whole album of memory-pic- ‘nuv) acquired up here.

We of the Club staff who are | not headed anywhere are not sup- posed to ask that question of om‘ Boys of 1943. The fact remains, 1owever, that more and more of the ‘ellows are going ‘v places, sure enough; and it seems-a fair guess ' that most of the places are more | than a hop-skip-and-a-jump away form Juneau.
