Pe 9:30 Night Week) In the column of last Thursday, lack of space prevented us from finishing our note concerning the increased attractiveness of our USO as a result of the Army's aban-' doning it's curfew. We referred to the specially comfortable atmos- phere of the clubhouse around mid- night. One reason we are confident thi thing means much to the servi are finding that it means increas- ingly much to us. We value highly this privilege of comradship with our laz ably meant elaxed period which invari- follows the hour that once goodnight. Especially gratifying those occasions (fairly to us are frequent ce- | men is the fact that personally we | servicemen friends during that | are privileged coming into or extremely these days) when we to play host to men Juneau from distant |isolated spots. The men just in |from the Aleutians, and those who |have been at sea for a long while, and those who have come all th from some of those lonely I s far up along the Highway all have seemed to find an al most pathetic happiness in USO hospitality that involved just the simple companionship of a few congenial fellows (once in a while some cof the rls have joined uc) room cheerful with good food, music and attractive. comrad- na gay At o rely lusion one time we might have had on guesswork for our con- to the significance of of hospitality. But re- ly we've been receiving ever so many letters from men who tell 1s how much the Juneau USO has meant to them. In nearly every instance these letters have come from fellows who shared such I hours of companionship. Just a few lines from these letters: Two very shy boys, i Ju- {neau after many months in a re: outpost, write “You did make us feel at home, for which we more .than thar you. Every hour we spent there, seemed as though we'd lived there all lives, e didn’'t feel lost in least little bit. That made so good.” in a letter hands of twelye ship (men from his sort mote sure our the feel And us signed in the fellows off on the Army, Coast Guard, and the Merchant Marine), using words apparently carefully selected, the USO is thanked for the ‘“entertainment, attitude, and personality that were sent ou way,” with the further word: “The friendlin in - Juneau took us | quite by surpprise because no other sort in Alaska has treated us so well We feel osted in a will be inte:- (from three particularly likeable Navy sailors who made a hit with all of us:) After saying they have seen many USO's in the States and like ours much the best, they write: “Thanks a million for the wonderful time you showed us; and thank God we boys now can return o the States with bragging in our hearts |for Alaska . . . If the opportuni presents itsely, you might also give our thanks to the townspeople who made it possible.” Now you will understand why we are glad there is no longer any Army curfew in Juneau,—and why we wouldn't care to adont one own at the USO. sure ‘you third note of our LONG TIM Yes, it's been entirely too. long a time since we've said anything in this column about more than just an occasional mention of the many townspeople who, month in and month out, keep giving us so gen- erously of their time and interest and enthusiasm in the day-today | life of the club. (It isn't that we're not constantly grateful for all tHat they do,— quite the contrary. It's rather that they're so mucw like members of the famy here; | and it just doesn’t seem natural for a person to keep thanking his own family for those things that make every-day living meaning- ful.) For example, it's been many | weeks since we've acknowledged the self-evident fact that our unfailing- | |1y loyal friend A. B. Cain has given | fun to countl servicemen at the | Wednesday night square dances,— together with the equally-faithful | Ethel Jones Milner and E. J. | McIntyre. Those three have been doing this practically every week | ]ror nearly two years. | And we haven't recently com- jmenlvd upon the services in the | canteen of such thoughtful friends| as Mrs. Frank Boyle, and Mrs. FRANK’S QUICK LUNCH Breakfasts — Lunches — Dinners Hot Rolls or Hot Biscuits With All Meals Serving Only the Best of American and Chinese Dishes SEAFOOD COCKTAIL WITH DE LUXE DINNERS HAVE DINNER AT FRANK’S AND ENJOY CLEAN, SANITAR MUSIC FOR DANCING BRINGING UP FATHER BOBBY- THAT’S NO WAY TO SIT \N A CHAIR- GEE 1T'S KEE NO‘ COMFY- Mandarin ;llofi Hqin and Chop Suey Just Like:in Chinatown!

Graham, known to his shipmates as “Kansas”, and 'to ‘learn that he hails ' from ' Cofféyville, a ' small village of that state, famous among baseball fans as the birthplace of Walter Johnson, one of baseball’s immortals . . . and to observe the exceedingly enthusiastic welcome received by our newest canteen helpér, Vera Kirkham, on the oc- casion of her debut there, that striking red hair of her's and that equally striking friendly smile in- stantly proving very popular in- deed. NAMES IN THE WEEK'S USO HEADLINES: Many names among | those of a lot of likely-looking+ GI's and GSO's could well be headlined this week without any distortion of the ne We have space for the mention of only two, however. One of these Mary Scott, of Hibbing, Minn., who came to Juneau only a few weeks ago' bitt who in that brief time, as a result of her charm and her radiant en- thusiasm, has endeared herself to all of us. The other name is that |of the very companionable Robert iB. Dusenbery, member of the ACS| from Seattle, who has impressed/ us extremely favorably for a num-; ber of reasons, two of which are |his skill as a competitor in the| quiz contests and in various games and his good sportsmanship in i cheerfully permitting himself to be | |drafted into almost every acmu\‘ about the clubhouse. If you (lunu already know them, keep an e e | lout for Mary and Bob. You're sure to like them both a lot. - BUY WAR BONDS is JUNEAU, AL ASK REAR ADMIRAL TREXEL GIVEN NEW POSITION - Part of His Duties Wil Per-| tain fo Navy Work Rear Chi gon, Ws is in Alaska Sept A of SEATTLE 14 Admiral C ago office Chief ations to Seattle to ta Naval Public shington, Ida announced by the val District the Wo T'rexel was previously in and Plans Division Iransfer Trexel from the 1 has been stationed at Nome for [l\(“ of of ake charge in Or ho and Alaska, Thirteenth the Logis- Office as ’( “hief of Naval Operations and in | | that capacity attended the CAuo and first Quebec conferences. | "in nis present capacity, Trexel | | has two titles, Director of the Alaska | on Bureau of Yards and Docks, | upervising Engineer of Area | t comprising Washington, Ore- n and Idaho | - ‘DEWAYNE BURNABY " HOME ON FURLOUGH, I Arriving herdd; em‘n(.,\ by plane was PFC DeWayne Burnaby, who | year.
