And not only faces that 1€ have never been seen before in the and USO, — we 'want to have the was pleasure of looking again at some °k of those faces that during recent months have put in their appear- ances so rarely as to become, for all practical purposes for most of ar- our fellows, brand new. Maybe you're wondering: Why worry about new faces when the Girls Service Organization already has on its rolls so many GSO-0-O LOVELIES who regularly attend our activities? A reasonable question, that! For the men who have been in the other Alaskan towns keep telling us how lucky the Juneau USO is in comparison with other places. Of course we are counting on the pre nce tonight of these loyal friends. But the answer to the question is: When it comes to try- ing to get as-much-as-possible of the-best-available (girls or anything else desirable) for our GI's, we're Jjust plain grabby! So we aren't going to be satisfied until we've made every effort to get ALL the girls down here to meet our fel- lows. Once the meeting has taken place, it's simply a matter of let- ting nature take its course—and we're confident they’ll come back. We hope that later on the girl: may care to apply to join the GSO. This evening, however, they are| invited to the dance without as- suming any obligations at all. | Tonight’s music will be by the! excellent Servicemen’s Band; and | we anticipate that more than the usual number of our men will bel present. So, if a lot of girls, old | friends and new, will put in their | appearance, the party should be, a big success. o o o BELIEVE IT OR NOT And speaking of new faces: We‘ are in the process of getting a new‘ one of our own. Not zdimflnlly-‘ speaking, you understand; we're ! afraid that such an accomplishment | in the realm of plastic surgery, though desirable, is probably hope- less. No, what we are referring .to is the new face of the USO club- house itself. Next Thursday, by which dat,e we expect the face-lifting to be. completed, we'll tell you all about it in the column. At the same time we'll try to give adequate voice to | our apprecigtion to Major Wagner | and his men of the Subport who are doing the work for us. Today | we're just preparing you for the | shock of walking into the Llubhouse‘ expecting the too-long-accustomed ! |drabness of its appearance and sud- denly discovering the up-to-the- minute paint job now. being done! lin both the canteen and the | Iounge. | ‘We don’t blame you if you remain skeptical after reading this. See- | ing’s believing! Come in soon and | see for yourself! e o 0 « . . THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS Tuesday of this week may have been just another Tuesday for you. But not at our USO,—down here Tuesday was the occasion of a| tenth birthday. Surely you donl need to be reminded that becoming | ten years old is a matter of more than just routine significance.

There were gam some singing, the serving of refreshments, the opening of the gifts, and the cutting of a big birthday-cake. The affair probably will linger in the memories of the five young ladies present. But its host is certain that nothing about the party could pos- sibly have made upon any or of them anything like the impres sion left permanently on his heart by those endearing young charms of his adorable guest of honor, Agnes Hared, and her friengs, Denna Lee Gould, Marjorie Kling- beil, Arlyss Likins and Yvonne Swanson It i tional hardly likely that the Na- O set-up contemplates that birthday parties will be given in any of its clubhouses by non- GI's in honor of non-GSO civilians who arc ten years old. But so far as the Juneau USO is concerned, let it be noted right here and now: If anybody will present to us any other equally youthful young ladies even half as charming as our friend Agnes and her gang were on Tues- day, we'll be delighted to make the clubhouse available ANY afternoon after school for another birthday party « o o PEOPLE WERE PROUD-TO-KNOW DEPT.
