But HOW | COME? It wasn't Saturday, and it lacked over an hour of being 4:00‘ o'clock. (It turned out that Doris had not actually lost her job in the School Principal’s Office, nor werej the others running any risk of the truant officer's wrath. For a very unusual reason it just happened that School was over an hour early!) been done to them! | We'd hoped we would be able to- day to put into appropriate wbdrds, too, the conviction we had that night that these men, with their courage and their simplicity and other solid virtues, symbolized (quite unconsciously, needless to state) the thing we like to feel is,! basically, the American spirit. But, somehow or other, the right words for that purpose don’t séem to come to us. Maybe a story will serve to! express all we hoped to say, and| more eloquently. It also was about a Texan, a wiry, lone, not-very-tall Texan. All by himself he answered a riot call. The people who put in the riot call were greatly surprised; | they'd expected a whole company - of troopers. Their attitude astonished him even more: . “There's only ONE RIOT, ain't there?” CAPT.

The Director wn.s! greatly surprised; but the new sal-; dier was positively impressed, no; less! Just then Alida came in, quite unexpectedly. She'd stopped at the postoffice and there was mail. She was introduced to the soldier. As she turned to go, one of the most popular of all the GSO girls—and deservedly so—Emma Nielsen, en- tered the room; she'd found it pos- sible to leave the bank somewhat | earlier than ‘usual. Then in walked | Betty Rice, though she could stay| only a moment.

But -ohce in a visible moon (that the Southeast Alaskan meteorological equivalent to “once in a blue moon,” the more widely used phrase descriptive of things' practically non-existent) we meet scmeone whose name brings back memories, someone perhaps whom we have known of and admired for a long time but never have met. | Harry Baker is an outstanding name in the world of the theatre.| He is among the highest ranking magicians anywhere. For years he has been making all sorts of things disappear on the stage, to reappear in extraordinary places, Amané the latest of the disappearance-reap- pearance acts for which he is re- sponsible is the transferance of the gentleman himself all the way from | the highway called Broadway to the Alaskan Military Highway, a trans- ference that doubtless even Harry himself would have deemed an im- possibility if challenged with it only a short time ago. For now he is OGaptain Harry Baker, of the Army of the U. S, in its Special Service Division, working out of Edmonton, |Alberta. He dropped in at the Club {here last week for an informal visit He is excellent company.

This item hardly needs a post- script, we think, to elaborate on the value of this sort of “casual” help- fulness by the girls to the Club. Surely it speaks for itself!. IMPRESSIONS To play host to a large number of soldiers off a ship briefly in port has been our Staff's privilege on a good many occasions. We have gained much personal enjoyment from it; and we do hope the Club's hospitality has meant a great deal to the individual men.¢ We like to think that its spirit of friendliness and good cheer (especially as ex- pressed by the girls of Juneau) has given them all something to re- member us by — particularly those {show for us.
