In it each serviceman coming to the club is asked to record his name, his home town and his favorite hobby. Needless to say, the contents of this registry have been a constant source of interest both to our staff and also to almost every new man on the occasion of his initial visit to the clubhouse. It's a thrill, of course, to discover in the book the name of a fellow's home town and the signatures of friends from back there. It was over eight months ago (early in March) when we last wrote up a general report concerning the beok. At that time the three leaders among the States in the number of registrants were, in this order, Washington, California, and Illin- ois. Now the first two have reversed places, with California just over the 450 mark and Washington slightly under it. The state of Chicago-and- Vicinity is still in the number three spot; but it's being closely pressed by New York and Pennsylvania Delaware continues to be represent- ed by the smallest number—four— but, at that, it has exactly doubled its total since March. Vermont and Nevada each have six native sons in the book, and New Hampshire has but one more. Practically all the other States have a rather sub- stantial number of men recorded. Los Angeles, together with its im- mediate suburbs, leads the cities by a2 wide margin. The others most widely represented include Seattle, Chicago, Boston, St. Louis and New York. | Personally, we continue especially to enjoy examining the book from time to time to learn-the names of the lesser-known towns that spell home to our men. Often, we think, thosz names possess a striking dig- nity that no name of any great city can hope to match—Liberty, both in Texas and Idaho; and Freesoil, Michigan; and New Freedom, Penn- sylvania. Then there are the towns whosz names echo the history of their frontier days—for example—! Tomahawk, Wisconsin, and Rifle, Colorado, and Brokey Bow, Okla-! homa. Also there are those place!,‘ that arouse your curiosity and make you wish you could see if today they hold traces of the why-and-where-, fore of their christening—Library, | Pennsylvania, and Harmony, Minne- sota, along with such apparently diverse communities as Pleasureville, Kentucky, and Stark, Kansas. 3 Many a name impresses us withl tie simple loveliness of its very sound or in the descriptive quality of it—Bay Minette, in Alabama, and Honey Breok, Pennsylvania, and Grand Prairie, Texas, along with/ Bluefield, West Virginia and Red Bluff, California, as well as Oak Hill, West Virginia, and Iron Moun- | tain, Michigan, and Bird Island and| S ANITARY MEAT COMPA Phones 13 or 49 HEADQUARTERS FOR Fresh Pacific Oysters Petershurg Shrimp In Bulk Broadbreast TURKEYS ALSO: Ducks, Geese and Roasters of this column (naturally, we 1 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA USO NEWS s for Everybody n Minnesota, and 14 Sturgeon Bay, Turtle Lake , in Wisconsin (Before leaving the subject of names: Deeming it our duty to keep this column’s readers informed about the more significant population trends throughout America, we hast- ily advise you today of the shrink- age in the census rolls of our per- sonal faveorite among the cities of Scuthwestern United States. After a ten-year absence from her old home town, Pat Fleek recently re- turned to Cactus Garden, Arizona, to discover that its total population consists of exactly two families. We are familiar with the merits of the rguments in favor of decentraliza- tion of population as applied. to her over-crowded cities, such as New York and Philadelphia. But we are ill at ease over the possibility that the notion may be adopted by some of the civic leaders of Cactus Garden, Arizona!) Some of the fellows signing the registry do not d se much about themselves, but that minimum often s vivid, at ist. Thus, one man prefers to be known to us simply as “The Kodiak Kid"; while another lad signing last week chooses to be in our memory just as , the wild kid from Brook- ery once in a w a sig- nature is entered in the book that you are absolutely sure was wri with und andable pri ! you weren't standing beside when the man wrote it in. Y we are ju s proud to hav our registry i€¢h an entry which re: J. Summers, U. 8. Marines, Chicago, Il GUADALCANAL." AND Maybe if we turned a psychiatrist loose on the book he would have lield day over the hobbies listed €. He might well find enough material for a learned treatise on “Ametican Youth Its Problems, Present and Future.” As for us, we Just get some hearty laughs out of it. As reported to you in March, the favorite hobbies continue to be v a very wide margin, indeed— in varying phrases, the ladies and the Leverages. Not infrequently the width of that margin of choice will be emphasized: Thus, an exclama- tion point is sometimes added, or of them (as in “Girls t 11" sometimes, lest there be a possibility of misunderstanding, the hobby is entered as “Girls, of course” ‘Women, definitelp”. Less ex- plicit, but hardly less emphatic, weré the s from California and Con- necticut who wrote, respectively, “Fun - fun - fun” and “Love and and the fellow from Iowa whose hobby is set out simply as a & It never surprises us to find that s entered several hobbies nal favorites. But oc- casionally wonder whether he |has a preference between the ex- pressed choices—as in the cases of the two lads who signed at the ‘shme time “Wolfing and skating” and “Wolfing and skiing”. And we wonder if there might be any signif- icance the order with which a North Carolina man listed his choices Rum and coke and wife.” (We told you, in an earlier report about this Registry, of the scldier who signed it in our pres- ence, selecting as his hobby “Base- it wasn't until he had re- for several minutes on the hat he took up his pen again just above the word . in an outburt of gallantry and —") men don't the hobbies hey a fellow h as his p as cnce before ntered “Basebs ‘My W Some much enlighten you they prefer e you in no at they do not one example, the young was here during Fleet ‘Not the Navy, for another, the man was “Evicting For sailor who Week—he wrote sure.” And, for who said his hobby myself from the U Coast Guard.” Two oth fellows, frc Missouri, gned the book on the same day; the first wrote “Getting home,” the second added simply: “I'll be right behind him.” It was a young sol- dier from Ohio who had exactly the same idea as these others but who| expressed it more vividly because e said it more simply—he used just the single word “Freedom.” In our March column concerning | the Registry, composed not many weeks after the liberation of the; Philippines, we clored the piece with mment upon the fact that most f the hobbies listed were gay and ind then added: “But once in | a while one will stand out, full of | signific sudden beauty. The | latest signature on the final page| of the Register was entered in Sep-| tember, 1944, It was dritten by a man named Ricardo Florez. His | residence and his hobby listed there {didn’t seem particularly significant when we read it then. But we hap- | pened to re-read the entry a month ago. The residence given is ‘Manila, | Philippine nds’. The hobby is Home!" Today, in this new report, we close with a reference to our sonal fav- orite among all the thousands of hob- bies in the whole book. By an odd coincidence we again mention home and the Philippine Islands. But this time “home” is Juneau and the Islands are the place from which this gerviceman once had looked longingly toward his home. For it was in July that young Kenny Allen, after months in a hospital, re- turned to Juneau on a furlough; and that night he came down to the club, and we met for the first time. In the desperate fighting at Leyte he had been wounded by a bullet barely missing his heart, and pass- | ing through his chest. The night of our meeting Kenny was still a very sick young man and suffering much pain; and he was still facing grave uncertainity about his eventual re- covery.
