Today we ‘have a barticular reason for getting out such an item. One of the many jobs under- ;aken by the headquarters staff is the furnishing of progrem berlals and program ideas to every hne of the scores of overseas USO': Thus, as a routine matter, we re- beive each month from New York 10 of the latest records for the juke box and a half-dozen current books, Logether with a kit containing sug- zestions for activities especially ap- yropriate for that particular month. And at all times we know we can nt-on headquarters to keep us gplied - with. such cssentinls as ery and ping-p:ng Lalls (to tlon only two of the commonest Jalways in demand). T addi- ardly a week goes by with- our receiving something out o fiae ordinary, in the form of game, puzzle, pamphlet, radio or hobby material,—whatever ‘happens to be, it is designed to life around the club pleas- Miter for our men job sasier for us Needless to state, our staff feels [3ontinually indebted to our friends ick east for their helpfulness. We believe they realize this. But within 2 few days we’ll be able to make sure of it. For our club is about to teceive a visit from Dr. Royal H. Burpee, Program Director for the lentire USO Overseas Department. As we've often said in this golumn in the past, we are very proud of this town of our tem- porary adoption,—we love to “show it off” to each newcomer to the club. We are proud, too, of so fine a National Staff Representative as ‘Roy” (or “Doc”) Burpee happens to be. So it's going to be a special treat to make our GI friends and our Juneau friends acquainted with this very attractive or. ey are sure to like him very much. e o 0 MARY, A GRAND OLD NAME!

It still seems too good to true. Last October when we said goodbye to Mary McCormack and she left to enter the Signal Corps service in Anchorage, we really wondered if we would ever even see her again. So remote as to be hopeless was any possibility that she ever might be back on our staff. Yet that is exac what she is today, just sever ths after she left us. Though her position as is only temj v (presumably a couple of while awaits word as to where her soldier husband, Keith Reisc] will be stationed), it is a blessing to all of us to have this reunion. Every day she receives the enthusiastic greet- of old GI friends who have J discovered that she’'s back,—at the same time meeting new fel- lows who had heard so many nice things about her and who are be hostess for weeks she JAP STRUGGLE SPURS WEST'S WARTIME JOB - ifor luck, Tber iolks? | authorities. cen out of the service out.” for as much as six months, I'll bet | .“Got your Discharge papers with ycu had a tough tive trying to you?” rememkear that old number you knew | “No," Frank so well.

We peacefulness of the sound of Har- mony, Minnesota, and Friendship, na, and Fair Lawn, New and Wheatland, ter, New York. And probably because their names seem to echo the sounds of the frontier days, we like, too, Broken Bow, Oklahoma, and Medicine Lodge, Kansas. For sometime now just about our top-ranking favorite name of all has been the former home town of one of our best-liked friends, Pat Fleek, the inappropriately desig- nated Cactus Gardens, Arizona. But the book has just acquired a new ont that ranks almost as high with us,—~Devil's Bend, Texas. That’s all on this subject today. You'll be hearing from about it soon again. e o o HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST WEEK The past week around the USO has had more than its quota of highlights, we'd say. But now we find our quota of space just about running out on us. At least we can make these shorthand notes on a few of them. For example, the presence at the club currently of genial Sgt. Carl E.
