There’s mud, for example: Last summer you didn't have to ask where the majority of our visitors came from. If they were muddy to their knees or above and if their shoe pacs were caked deep with mud, they almost certainly were over from new development to the north; and you knew that for ‘nw first few precious days of their their the would from furloughs greatest they thrill get what to | rest of us was one of life's least ap- preciated routines—walking on side- walks, no more no less! In all these cases we've wondered how strong the hold of the ed against the other attractions of the city which the USO would not and could not match. Needless to state we've been neither surprised nor offended when any of these new friends have spent very little of their furloughs here; but we ad- mit we've been deeply gratified when the Club has proven (as it has done many times) to possess a strong and continuous attraction to lonely men desperately hungry for recreation and entertainment. The serviceman’s parcels may only a couple of small packages, or they may consist of a 75-lb. bar- racks-bag, along with a very bulky toot-locker and valise, and a ruck-sack and a steel helmet. In any event, the checking - of these iteras represents the laying down of burdens. So it should be—it is ap- propriate that this act should be symbolic of the entrance of every man into the USO where it hoped that he will lay down all his burdensome worries and enjoy a furlough or leave that will be truly free be a is from care FRESH-BUTTERED POPCORN Just why the fragrance of hot fresh-buttered popcorn should have such a hold on the human soul we for the psychiatrists But personally we believe that it's just bes the adult remembers with delight how very delicious the delicacy tasted in the good old days of his boyhood.
