USO SERVICE BARS A famous writer. long an invalid, wished desperately to express her appreciation to ome whose devotion {bad meant much to her. But the |scope and the depth of that devo- tion were such as to make it seem- ingly impossible to put that apprec- iation into words. She exclaimed in her letter to him “How does lone go about thanking another for the gift of a part of his very life!” | The USO wishes to express in an appropriate manner its gratitude for the services of its Girl' Service Organization members who have been so faithful to its interests for many months. It, too, finds it an impossible task to put its thanks into fitting terms. However, the Club can at least periodically place itself on record by acknowledging its indebtedness for their contribu- tion of a generous portion of their very lives in its service. On these |loccasions it proposes to present {them with USO Service Bars and to POR RENT—Fur. Apts. Easily l‘em:place on an honor roll the names of the girls who have contributed |totals of 150 hours of service, 350 hours of service, or 500 hours, re- | spectively. Each such bar is slight- |1y over an inch in length and bears | the letters GSO in gold, the ribbon jon the bar being red for 150 hours, |red and white for 350 hours, and 'red, white, and blue for 500 hours.

While pondering’ this state of | affairs the other day we unwitting- ly stumbled upon what we wou‘.dl like to believe was the answer to| this problem. Looking for some-| thing else in a current magazine,| our eye fell upon an advertisement fascinatingly captioned “It Is Easy| to Write Thrilling Love Letters.” Instantly we read on to discover that this happy result is predestin- | ed for anyone possessing 98 cents and the good judgment to buy a copy of “How to Write Love Let-| at that price. Especially in-| triguing to us was the list of the| series of “How To" chapters inform- ing the reader of the means of achieving such highly desirable ends | as: “How to Make Your Sweet-| heart Write More Often,” “How to' Express Your Love,” “How to ‘Break the Ice’.” “How to Assure Him (or Her) of Your Faithfulness,” and even “How to Propese By Mail.”| (Perhaps 1t is sheer ooincidence that | the next “How To” immediately fol- ' lowing this one is “How to Help Her (or Him) Keep Chin Up!™) It interested us, too, to note that the GI on the defensive had not been forgotten by an understanding au-!| thor, for there are chapters on sueh useful “How To's” as “How to Make | (or Break) a Date” and “How to' Discourage the ‘too Romanuc" Friend.” | The book, furthermore, is equip-| ped with “scores of model love let- ters by famous people” which it is teresting and seemed to surpass by far the expectations of the large crowd of fellows and girls who at- affection it has been holding in, the hearts of the men and girls who have belonged to it the longest. tended ii.
