(And when we say “prac- tically new clubhouse,” we mean just that!) Several months ago we asked Major Chester Wagner whether his Subport Company could supply us with the men needed to repaint our lounge and canteen. He gen- erously said “Of course”; but he was obliged to add that the work would have to await a break in the steady suce jon of ships arriving here for loading by his men. Last week that break cams Within a few hours Lt. J. P. Mili=%" nor and First Sgt. George Brabaw came with the men. A couple of days later our long-dreamed-of “new clubhouse” became a reality. In addition to the Major ana w.e Lieutenant and Sgt. Brabaw, our Roll of Honor in this matter is composed of Soldiers Mike Bruno, Chicago, Illinois; Tony F. Fabian, Chicago; Oma Z. Gibson, Evans- ville, Indiana; Bob R. Ponder, Wichita Falls, Texas; Frank A. Poos, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Jesse F. Russell, Lenior, Tennessee; Homer D. Schwingle, Almena, Wis- consin; Norman O. Talman, Cicero, Illinois; John F. Tischer, Chicago, and Frank T. Ventrelli, Chicago. No mere paragraph or two in this column can mean very much to these fellows. Their real source of lasting satisfaction must lie in their awareness as to how much this far-more-attractive clubhouse will mean to many hundreds of people for many months to come! e o o JOHN TISCHER Had he never done anything else for the Juneau USO before this, John Tischer would have earned our abiding gratitude during the past week. For it is John who has been in charge of the above- mentioned detail of soldiers who have been transforming the entire downstairs of our clubhouse into those exceedingly attractive rooms of which we now boast. That was the sixth or sevem.h time, however, that we have called upon John to do a special job for us. He hasn't failed us yet. But the other assignments were for party decorations,—this latest task involved no mere hanging of crepe- paper or tinsel. Yet those same skillful hands and those same dis- cerning eyes that so quickly put together all the temporary decora- \tions for the barn’ dances, the May Queen’s throne, the Christmastime program, and the St. Valentine's Day and St. Patrick’s Day celebra- tions, have now given us as well our handsome new lounge and can- |teen. | 8o sound is John’s judgment and iso sure is his craftsman's touch | \that personally we needed only to| 'decide upon the color-scheme for |each room. We were certain he {would take care of all the details| !and take care of them well— \which is exactly what he did! We' !say fonfidently: "To a greater |extent than any other one person, |John Tischer has contributed to the physical contentment and en- joyment of the many people who regularly use the Juneau USO. | We'd hardly know what to do ror our next big party if John were away (Undoubtedly we'd turn for [aav:ce to our genial friend, Mike IBrlmo, Who has been his ever-| reliable right-hand man on everyi !job they've done for us.) Anyway, s for Everybody — were pulling hard for John soon to get a furlough to his hnn“ in Chicago.

For some time now the young ladies have been noting the la- mentable fact that at all dances the number of male dancers is practically nil contrasted w the crowd of male onlookers. at last, the gals are going to take matters into their own hands (or, maybe onto their own feet). It's dies’ choice”; and it makes no difference that some of you may or may not choose to dance. YOU'LL LEARN TO DANCE before the girls get through with you,— and we predict, YOU'LL LIKE IT! °o o o AND KEITH During the fifteen months that Mary McCormack was our USO hostess several thousand servicemen met her here.
