B. Bur- ford chartered us the Donjac—and the alwayscooperative Coast Guard did the rest. Thanks to Lt. Warren Caro and Lt. (j.g) Edward Nugent, three able enlisted men (very good friends of ours at the USO) were made available as a crew, in the persons of Harold M. Lee, Jr, of Petersburg: Alfred L. Buchanan, of Leavenworth, Washington, and Henry W. Brakebush, of Portland, Oregon. To each of the above mentioned, this column today says “Most Grateful Thanks!” on behalf of the USO Clubs of Skagway neau, the girls for whom you made the trip so comfortable, and all the many men in Skagway who were the principal beneficiaries of your helpfulness. e o o SHAKESYEAK:'S BIRTHDAY Our club will play a modest role in the observance of a celebration of world-wide significance during the present week,—the anniversary of William Shakespeare's birth.
