Alida and Mary and the four GSO girls were ready for them. Best of all, Pat Shaffer immediately took over |at the piano—and the party became an assured and gay success. One hundred and eleven soldiers, from | Nebraska and Maine and Louisiana jand a lot of other States, were get- |ting their first taste of Alaskan | USO hospitality and GSO friend- liness (and probably their last for a long time) and they were liking it! For exactly an hour the jolly party continued; a moment later it was over. To Pat and the others, instead of repeating our thanks fore*their gen- erous help to the USO, we say: Congratulations on the chance to give such a lot of happiness so quickly to so many! REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST The voice of the soldier called “Bingo!” It was a pleasing voice, made doubly pleasing by the light of the winning smile that accom- panied it. There was a note of shy- |ness and something near embar- rasment. in it, too, for his call of|[0f fog enveloping the light-hou: “Binga!” had already marked his suecess in two of the earlier games | that night. But the man in charge turned to the prettiest girl in the prize to the modest winner. And the soldier’s voice said for the third time “Thank yQu.” Then suddenly {{or at least one person in that room a dozen year® rolled away . . . and he was watching a motion pjc- ture and he was listening to a voice, the voice of a little hoy speaking from the screen. It was a pleasing voice and its owner pos- sessed a most winning small boy’s smile. The voice spoke at a moment so tense and so moving that it seemed that no voice ever could | decently intrude upon that silence.| The man had never before at any | motion picture endured so breath- less, so deeply feit, a silence. The picture was “Cavalcade,” the story of the British Empire as exper-| ienced by one of its Iamilxos; the moment was that moment during the funeral procession of their| Queen when her casket passed by | their home. She had ruled the mightiest empire on earth for two| thirds of a century; when she died all the nations came to London {to honor “her. In that funeral pro- | |cession walked or rode the rulers |of the entire world, in their pomp land their glory; but Queen Victoria | had been incomparably the great- | |est of them all. In absolute silence |except for the sound of the march- | hicles the vast procession moved | on. It seemed as if it would never "room and asked her to present the| | ;ing men and the wheels of the ve-!only should a USO Club be basical end.

An| |excellent player, Don had looked |forward especially eagerly to the chance to enjoy it during his leave, |iouowmg closely after a long seige | which was his station. Of course the fog had meant that Don had, been subjected for several weeks, at intervals of a few seconds, at a dis- tance of a few yards, to the blasts of a foghorn designed to be heard | nearly twenty miles away! So it did not surprise us that Don spent mosc; of his leave playing the USO piano. | It was his final night there that we | won't forget. He entertained every- one until closing Qtune; he kept on while we were cleaning up for an hour or so (we took gur time, wish- ing to prolong our enjoyment as long as possible). Finally we had to go home. The one customary night light was burning; we asked Don if | it would be sufficient for his play- ing. He sald he'd really’ prefer to continue without it. We turned it out; and listened for a little while longer to what seemed even finer music as he started on the Ameri- can folk songs. We said goodnight | and goodbye; as we walked up the| street away from that totally dark- ened building Don was swinging a| gay and fascinating version of “Old Black Joe.” And suddenly we felty elated because USO once again was proving how versatile it can-be in its never-ending efforts to serve the varied needs of its many ser- vicemen! CONCERNING A 6'% POUNDER | The most important single phase, of USO work lies, in our opinion, within the realm of friendship.

Early last summer we could claim later before we found out why Wally had seemed puzzied. He asked if we would care to re-read the clipping. We politely said we would; we were glad we did. The clipping in its entirety read: | “19 Years Ago Today,” “Wallace this developed into a real friend- ship in August, thanks in part at least to a newspaper clipping.
