On second |thought, we decided there were so ‘m:\n,\' we couldn’t hope to do j |tice to any of them. Instead, we're [taking just a single week—the last |week of the cold year—finding it |vivid and colorful and not soon to Ibe forgotten of world-shaking importance in or laround the local USO. Maybe since {Christmas this has been just about lan average week for our club. And | he would help overthrow Francisco |yet its various day-to-day happen- | Provoked Franco and establish “a stable, tol- | {ings have been so exceedingly |pleasant and have involved such pleasant people as to convince us |personally that it will remain in |memory one of the weeks of 1944 to be recalled with particular grati- tude. It was the people, of course, that !made it matter—a lot of people. To name a few: There was Mrs. Frank Boyle, dropping into the |clubhouse around midnight on New | Year's Eve to wish us well, plan- ining to stay just a moment, but upon finding us trying to run the | whole building by ourself, taking over operation of the canteen and remaining there for three hours. (Doesn’t that generous, thoughtful person ever get tired of looking for ways to help the USO and its |servicemen?) | And then there was popular |Rhoda Hanford, up from Wrangell for the holidays, attending our 'dances on Thursday and Saturday, | doing considerably more than her {mathematical share to make these ffairs among the best dances we've thad in many months. And (speaking of popularity), with all of us at the THursday night dance by the attendance of {Lt. Marsh Green and his” fellow- |officers of the Coast Guard ship l“Aurora,” whase crew-members happen to be especially well liked |around the Juneau USO. And, (while still on the subject of dances) there was our good friend Art Walzhgr, representing the CIO, the owner of Union Hall, anxious last week as always in the past to have our men enjoy the facilities of that excellent building. And there was Soldier Ken Mack- lin, of Anchorage, a newcomer to different ways around here, and LUCILLE'S BEAUTY SALON . { 1 ~! CAPITOL CAFE | P4 ;!

And Soldier Bob Satre, home| {from the Aleutians, continuing to | flatter us by spending much of his ‘Iurlough at the USO and delighting | jus with his playing of the piano. And Sylvia' Anderson, back in [town after a long stay in the | States, last week acting as our in- |formal (and lovely - to - look-at) ;hcstoss. convincing us that whilg |she is attending the University of |Alaska she will be much missed ldown here. | And there was Jane English, in| the clubhouse last week after too| |long an absence, of whom one of ithe men in from the Aleutians ex- | |claimed: “Here's someone more beautiful than all the pinup girls lon our whole island out there— and I'm meeting her on an Alaskan {furlough! But none of my buddies will believe me when I get back— they’ll say she's just a figment of my imagination!” | The week had its share of laughs, |too. The lawyers have a phrase, you know, about the “meeting of the minds” in the forming of a con- |tract. Generally, unless the two |parties are thinking about the same | thing there won't be a contract. We |might entitle this little true #pi-| sode “No Meeting of thé Minds”: | | Director—(in midst of discussion | |with Coast Guardsman about the | ‘curront local movies): “Have youi |seen both of them?” | Pat Fleek (just arriving, not hav- | ing heard any part of the conver- | sation, directing her question, pre- sumably to the director, but look- |ing directly at the C. G. whom she {had not met): “Have you seen my brother?” | Coast Guardsman (not listening [to Pat, but looking right at her as |he answered the director): “T've fsvcn one of them, and the other | ‘nsn't worth seeing.” { Pat (incredulous — and rather | at the same time): |“Which one of my brothers isn’t| |worth seeing?” And then there was that little | |incident that brightened up one | (drab early morning for the director, lafter he had worked almost | | through the night and was about | |to leave the empty building and go | ihomc to bed. He looked up in sur- |prise when a soldier whom he 1knows well but who shall remain |nameless here, breezed into the |clubhouse at a few minutes before |5 a. m. We say “breezed” advisedly, |because it was obvious that this GI was startlingly alert for such | J:m early hour. ! “Isn't it he asked brightly| “kind of quiet here for this time of day?” Before the director could answer, |he added: “As a matter of fact, ‘}me whole town seems quiet. As I jcame down the street I didn't, see ja soul. Where is everybody?” | “Perhaps,” said the director, “at this hour -a good many of them might be in bed.” “At this hour,” echoed the GI. “What time is it? Five-thirty in the morning! Why, it can’t be!” But it could be—and it was. The past 24 hours had been his day off. It turned out that instead of getting up at the end of 12 hours, somehow our friend had managed to sleep for a full 24 hours! | - e, — NOTICE! The Holy Trinity Guild will meet with Mrs. J. O.
