KATHERINE HUPFEL

"lf could only believe" said
Coolidge mother. whose third son
was recently inducted into tie
armed forces: that my boys
might not be giving their lives for
nothing lit would not hurt so
deeply But the thought that
tley may be wasted-that all this
may be TO do over again-is al
most more than can endure.
Those simple words bear
within themselves the great fear
of motherhood that all this may
b. 10 do over again" At
night. when they lie sleepless on
their pillows staring into the
darkness. the thoughts that pass
through their minds are of the
things that are happening where
their sons are.
And there will always be
wars" men tell US. There
have been wars since the be-
aiming OF history there
will be wars until history
ends" .. Perhaps there
will be. unless women awak-
en- to the truth that men will
never help them end wars.
The final desperate struggle
for peace will not be won at
peace council with men
sittinq about the conference
table il will come through
the efforts OF mothers. who
have lain through too many
sleepless nights, thinking
praying. hoping - and finally
acting.

Director of USO
Urges Support
Of War Fund Drive

Frank Schlater. director of the
USO club at Florence. this week
urged all-out support of the United
War Fund drive. which will start
in November.
"Do you appreciate the USO
clubs. tie USO shows. the mobile
units?" he asks. Would you want
heir services curtailed or enrich
ed. such as they are?
TIE United war fund drive Is
just starting The USO receives
90 per cent OF that fund. Should
you appreciate the USO club ser
vices and desire these facilities
expanded rather tLan curtailed.
would you be willing TO write TO
your home folks and urge them TO
speak TO their neighbors and
friends in behalf of tLat enter
prise?"
Director Schlater goes on to
point out that the national USO
has been forced to ask the local
USO clubs to economics in their
program due TO their uncertainty
as TO the financial success of the
drive. They are operating at pre-
sent upon a loan of about SI3
900. 900.

Christian world. Each nation hal
its celebrated dates which mean
little or nothing to the people of
other countries, but Christmas
rises above boundaries of nation
and race and is the common pos
session of all Christian people.
Christmas should be observed
in a way that will exalt Christ
and remind everyone that it is
in honor of His birth, Christmas
means love. 1t is a time when
love is at its high tide. Gods
love was poured out on the world
through Christ, and whatever
that rich blood touches human
life it enriches, sweetens and
makes fruitful all it reaches.
Christmas means peace. He
who was born that night in Beth
lehem was called the Prince of
Peace. Christmas means hope
For centuries the world had
looked forward to the coming of
Messiah who would redeem
men from sin.
Under the grim and terrible
necessities of war we have been
tempted to lay aside for the du-
ration those things that Christ
taught us-to cherish the lowell |
ness of human life, the glory of |
human service, the hope of uni
versal brotherhood. These things
We must never lay aside. When
the mad days of war are over,
when the time for brutal action
is passed, we will need these
things of Christ-these things
that Christ taught us to cherish.
They are the hope of the future.
We will need to come back to
them and to build the new world
with them. But they will not
be there unless we have kept
them bright and burning in our
hearts.

WET FIELD
 PREDICTED,
 ROSE BOWL

PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 30-Over- hanging clouds and occasional sprinkles brought gloom to the Southern California football camp, while their Rose Bowl opponent, the University of Washington, although used to heavy going, proiessed a desire for clearing weather.
 Washington is a three to one on the betting and a wet field should make them four to one Trojans' coach Jeff Cravath said. They are used to wet ball in Seattle, and my lads don't seem able to hold dry one, much less one that's slippery"
 The Trojans suffered two defeats by service teams because of loose ball handling.
 "We want dry weather" Wash ington's coach Pest Welch said. our offense is built around Al Akins and sam Robinson, and we most as suredly can't cash in on our kind of football on a wet field.'
 The IIuskies line, averaging 2l0 pounds, outweigh Southern Cal by a wide margin. and the backfield also has a weight bulge.

WHO'S WHO OF I93O?

It's fun to listen to the opening bars of an old song popular few years ago and try to recall it's name. Perhaps those notes are not quite enough to bring back to mind the rest of the melody. Or, having got the melody running through your brain, maybe you just cannot manage to remember that name that's the tough part. As they some times say in the South when they meet up with someone not seen re- gently: "Yo' face is easy, but I dis recollects yo' name"
 You'll be seeing pictures of lot of such easy faces" in the club house during the next two weeks They'll be the faces of our GSO girls; but they will be pre-1943 Indeed they will be of the vintage of circa 1925-le3G.

The Director looked at the call endar a few weeks ago and noted that the month of November had begun.

Soon we will have cold weather and lots of snow-and by lots of snow we mean at least several feet (that is, of course, where it is not drifted' :.

lar closing hour and serves hot cot- fee to these poor half-frozen fel- lows!" Then with teeth chattering in anticipation of the impending winter long blizzard, we turned up the stove a notch and worried over where we'd mislaid our extra heavy pair of ear muffs.
 It is with chagrin that we report that up to the moment of going to press the Juneau USO can claim credit for the relief of not a single authenticated case of frost-bite or 1 frozen toes among servicemen. We don't feel a bit heroic; we do feel positively let down by the weather ' We had pictured ourself and fellow staff members as sort of kennel of stationary St. Bernard dogs, not rushing up the Alps with small kegs of steaming hot coffee strapped to cur backs, but waiting below for the victims of the snow to stagger into us, receiving them with the human equivalent of loud welcom- ing barks and wagging tailsD
 We are glad to report, however, ! that during the past two months we've been serving free coffee every night to at least several, sometimes as many as a dozen, of the NIP Ps
 And if they haven't looked cold on any occasion, they have looked very
 wet every night (and we do NOT mean NEARLY EVERY night. Although our keeping the can teen open for this extra hour was designed simply to be of benefit 10 the fellows, we who comprise the Club staff acknowledge that it IS we who seem to have gained ths major enjoyment from it. It is no secret that ever since this particular outfit of MPs arrived in Juneau they have been especially well liked by all the staff; so it has been e distinct pleasure to be helpful to them in this way and as many other ways as possible. Then, too

 mood. For all of us, staff members

CHRISTMAS, l943 A MEMORY

CHRISTMAS, 1943 - A MEMORY
 Twas the night before Christmas and all through our house, not a creature less than a couple of hun dred were stirring; and they were busy with a variety of different activities. For a while most of them were eating and having coffee at the buffet tables; many sang the Christmas carols; then all listened in hushed reverence to Ave Maria and the Brahms Lullaby" on the violin; after that there was the opening of the gifts, and through out the evening there was the warm-h hearted sharing of the great est of USO gifts at Christmas or at any other time-the gift of friend ship.
 We're not quite sure whether we think it is more fun to look for ward to Christmas, or to experience it, or to remember it. All three are distinct privileges. Just at present we are keenly enjoying its memor- ies. We will long and gratefully remember Christmas Eve of l943 and the Day itself escpecially for the children's part in the program
 (there were 35 of them with us) i, particularly as they sang Silent Night" and for the partici- patton of the ladies who served at the tables (adding to the whole affair an indefineable something in the realm of good will that brought comment from more than few of the mem . and the nearly in- exhaustible supply of delicious candy and cakes donated by large number of the ladies of the com munity and the GSO girls, and much appreciated by the fellows E. . and the absolute rightness of Mil ton Steinhardt's choice of his num- bers for the violin, and the exqui- site beauty of his playing . and the manner in which the role of Santa Claus was so genially pre- sented by our ever-helpful friend, A. B. Cain and the size of the total number of gifts for all the servicemen, in Attu or Nome or Ex- cursion Inlet or on various boats or stationed here, which the Club col lected and distributed, that total being just few less than 1000 and the remembrance of the many thoughtful expressions of ap- preciation made by the fellows that night not only for the Christmas celebration but also (and particular ly) for all that the USO seems toI have been meaning to them throughout the year
 With heavy casualty lists coming in from all over the rest of the world, we may sometimes carelessly conclude that at least our men are entirely free from the danger of death. But they are not: Yesterday we had a note of thanks from the fellows on a Coast Guard boat to whom we had sent box of gifts. It had left here on time; but they had not received it until a couple of days after Christmas. The req son: They'd been spending the whole weekend at sea, searching for three missing fellow-members of the service, bringing to an un- successful end tragic search be- gun some weeks ago and now neces- sarily abandoned. ~
