The dinner is a no-host affair and indications are the Gold Room will be crowded to capacity Reservations are coming in fast and all must be made by 12 o'clock noon tomorrow (Saturday) at the office of the USO here The birthday party is a “family affair” and besides the dinner, sev- eral special features will make it exceedingly attractive. The Rev. Walter A. Soboleff, ef- ficient member of the Committee of Management, will be toastmaster The guests of honor will be Lt Col. John T. Carlton, Special Service Officer of the entire Army forces in Alaska, who will be the principal speaker, and the members of the Ketchikan Coast Guard Glee Club, who will also enliven the occasion by a series of numbers. Instrumental music will also be furnished by the popular and well known violinist, Signal Corpsman Milton Steinhardt, and the equally popular accordionist, Coast Guards- man H. M. Shumway. A brief report of the local USO will also be made by Director Zach Gordon. The birthday party will be a snappy one, because at 9 o'clock the formal dance of the USO in honor of the visiting Coast Guardsmen will be given in the Scottish Rite Temple and the birthday party should be over shortly after 8 o'clock. Formal dress for the affair is optional to the ladies.
