In it he tells humorously of the near-embarrassment of a former GI, especially under the sus- picious glances of men still in uni- form who imagine they are looking at “just another 4-F.” That's the sort of embarrassment that will never be experienced, we feel sure, here at our clubhouse.

But there still lingers in the mind much of the story of the horrors of that adventure in those tragic days when the Germans thei visit; is when WMW“MQQC“WMMMMOWMW“ifmm«llv of Juneau, called on Dele- | Kegular Service from Seattle and Tacoma FREIGHT PASSENGERS ALASKA TRANSPORATION CO.
