WEDNI SDAY, JANUARY 31, 1945 US0 WILL CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY Banquet {o Be Held Satur- day Night, Followed by Dancing at Baranof Saturday night's USO party at} the Baranof Hotel will undoubtedly be the most interesting and color- ful in the local club's history. This is the opinion of the Director, Zach Gordon, who said today ‘hm‘ a capacity crowd is expected to be| in attendance. “Although the affair originally was planned simply to celebrate the ! Fourth Anniversary of the founding of the USO as a national organiza- | tion, it has been decided to make it more than just that. Accordingly | the most significant feature at the banquet on Saturday will be the tribute to be paid the men from Juneau and Douglas who are in| the armed forces. Our special guest of homor will be Marine Corporal Donald Williams, who has just re-| turned from the South Pacific area where he has been engaged in| some of the war's most decisive fighting. " “The presence of Cpl. Williams at the party, together with some! otter 'special | features,! will make the evening one long to be remem- bered,” ‘said © Gorden. “All the} iriends of the USO are invited to| the banquet. However, since a very large attendance is ‘anticipated, it will be necessary for us to receive all the acceptances shortly.” ‘The bariquet, i the Gold Room | of the hotel, will begin at 6:30 o'clock.
