WEDDING BELLS

Marriages among our ESQ girls
and the Servicemen have been by no
means rare in recent months. From
time to time this column has made
mention of these happy occasions,
with the best of good wishes to the
lucky couples. Heretofore no pair
of newlyweds has rated a whole
special paragraph all to themselves;
but today we break with tradition.
This particular paragraph belongs
exclusively to Erwin Hagerup and his
bride of Saturday, the former pat"
Brown. AS you know. he is one of
the Soldier members of our staff
and he long has helped to make the
Club canteen the popular spot it has
become; and Pat" is the proprietress
of the American Beauty Salon. A
couple whose members are thus re-
spectively engaged in beautifying of
the outer woman and the bringing
of contentment to the inner-man
seems ideally equipped to do lot
for the USO. In our minds eye we
already visualize series Of new
signs announcing innovations at the
canteen after Pat" has given us a
helping hand: Have Hagerup's
Handsomer Hamburgers Here and
Drink Your Cokes at Pats and
Erv's American Beauty Saloon" and
Eat Only at the USO-Wave Good
bye to All Other Places-Make 1t a
Permanent Wave" or maybe
Now it's your turn to be funny.
We're going to stop thinking up
anything original; and instead we're
reverting to an old and sincere wish
of the very greatest happiness both
to Pat" and to Erv always!

"WONDER WHEN

Il Wonder When My Babys Com
ing Home" croons the juke box in
our lobby. Doubtless most of the
listening Servicemen just naturally
change the my" to this and join
autobiographically in the refrain.
But there are other wanderers whose
return home is also the subject of
their concern,--home to Juneau and
the USO. The conductor of this
column, during his working hours, is
frequently accosted with: Say,
whatever has become of ...-..........-...?
haven't seen her around here for
weeks So herewith is a report, by
no means complete, of some of our
Missing Misses The Davis sisters,
Sylvia and Shirley, are studying
music in Cincinnati and Suzy Winn
has Just entered the University in
Vancouver b. c. When we last
heard from her, Lenora Olsen had
a job in. Sitka; and Margaret Ma
land is employed in the North.
Becky Stitt is visiting in Edmonton,
Altertas Gone South for an indefin-
lite time are Sylvia Anderson, Mickey
Crowell, Leila Sturgis and Wanalee
Suess. Gone South just for few
weeks are Bonnie Klein and two OF
the ESQ officers, President Marjorie
Smell and Secretary Lila Sinclair
Headed North this week for her
first year in the University OF AL
aska is Winona Monroe; headed
South for a visit with her mother
is Jeanne WHITTIER. For the record
it is to be noted that USO cheer
fully lease-lends these girls to the
USA and the other named places
but for limited periods only and by
no means "for the Duration; and
we certainly would like very much
to exercise the privilege of cam
ceiling their travel permits as the
needs COR the whim) of USO may
require. 1t is heartening to note
that every so often girl does re-
turn of her own volition if we simply
are patient,-for example, Doreen
Wood has just come back to warm
reception from her many use
friends. When the others check III
again, they too, will learn how very
much each one has been missed.

NOTES
Musical Treat

Ever since your reporter care 70
Alaska he's been hearing fine Things
about the Coast Guard Banu AZ
Ketchikan. SO great has been It's
ren,ltation that all local music-lov-
ers eagerly anticipated It's coming 70
Juneau Last weekend it finally
came. and the universal opinion
seems to be that this outfit more
than made good on that reputation
Not only did the whole band display
brilliant musicianship under the
baton of it's leader, Ralph w. Girton'
of Santa Ana, Calf, but 1t also
turned out that some of its members
had formed dance orchestra that
nroved a sensation, indeed Known
as Charley Reichert and HIS len
Coast Guardsmen" and formed less
than two weeks before, this group
played for the dance on SATURDAY
night sponsored jointly by the Fam
how Girls and the USO and the
dance on the following night at the
Executive Mansion Exciting ana
exhilarating and featuring stfik-
ingly potent rhythm, their music was
exceedingly effective and 1t was re-
ceiyed with extreme enthusiasm by
the dancers. Certainly it seems I'M
likely that jitterbugs anywhere III
Alaska ever before enjoyed anything
like such treat! The develop
ment of this aggregation in SO snort
a time is a tribute to the leadership
of M. F. rCharley') Reichert'
formerly of Illinois. Many OF tIe
Coast Guardsmen spent considerable
time as the USO while here in Ju-
neau. 1t is special pleasure TO
report that they all appear to have
been lust as well liked and respected
personally as they were respected as
musicians; certainly they won most
of enthusiastic new friends who al
ready hope that it Will not De
long before they will return to TINS
city.

STATE REGISTRY BOOK

II was less than three weeks ago
that the Club opened its State Reg
istrv Book in which the fellows sign
by their home States. Already the
book contains some 300 names; and
many times each day it is now being
examined by some man who Is look
ing for someone perhaps just any
one-from somewhere near the OLD
home town. In more than a few
instances the search has been sue
cessful, and as the book begins 10
fill up the number of such cases
likely will incease notably. But II
isn't only strangers from the same
State who may thus become friends (:
old-time acquaintances may be re-
united through this registry. We
think it might not be polite TO
hazard an unsolicited guess as to the
size of Honea Path, South Carolina !;
but our registry proclaims the fact
that at least two of the former
residents of that metropolis were at
the Club on August oath, when ESQ
girls Gladys Knight and Soldier Al
bert Henry met to their mutuai
establishment for the first time since
they were schoolmates back there.
We are glad also to observe that tne
book is beginning to reflect evi-
dences Of local pride. Thus the
sheet originally headed simply New
Mexico" now bears the sub-tltle,
THE Land of Enchantment,' which
may or perhaps may not have been
added by an erstwhile Las Vegas
lad, Seth B. Gray, sole resident OF
said Enchanted Land listed therein.
Then, too, loyalty has prompted
some unknown but enthusiastic son
of Missouri to designate that COM
monwealth modestly as "The Only
State" Eventually the register may
enable small groups within State
to issue challenges of various and
sundry sorts to anyone willing to
listen. For example, your reporter,
Graded from birth in the Valley OF

Publishers Right
to Lay off Union
Members Recognized

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 - R-
An arbitration committee named
to settle a dispute between the
Newspaper and Mail Deliverers
Union and the Publishers Asso-
citation Of New York has an
nounced an award recognizing
the publishers right to lay Off
Union members "for economy or
business reasons"
Announced yesterday by DR..
Arthur S. Meyer, chairman OF
the State Mediation Board, and
Fred c. Croxton of the U. S.
Cancellation Service, who served
as arbitrators at the direction OF
the War Labor Board, the award
provided also for the establish
ment of an adjustment board to
settle disputes arising from war
time conditions.
It recognized the right Of each
publisher to expand or contract
the delivery service Of his news
paper and denied complete war
time Job security to the 5000
members Of the Union, an in
dependent group.
The WPB earlier granted un-
ion members of SIS weekly
raise in an interim order.
The Unions security demand
was major issue in strike
which deprived New Workers of
their daily papers for several
days last month.
Union Counsel Louis Valid
man said the Union was satisfied
with the award and was particu-
larly pleased at the decision to
set up n adjustment board.

CHIVAIRY-OR SOMETHING
Bartenders Fizz Up At Thought OF Hiring Barmaids

Employees Union, a man was
scornful of the talk about occu-
pational hazards. 1--WE got thou
sands of danes tending soda
fountains he said, land they
amt got flat feet, unsightly
m US C e S, floating kidneys or
ugly hands.
ALSO, all our DANES are la
dies, and they are often beauti-
full to a great degree. You think
guys don't make passes at good
looking soda jerkers, or maybe
try to tell them their troubles?
Well, they do. But our danes
are very lady-like and know
how to handle such matters.
They would do all right behind
liquor bars, too, but don't put
my name in your paper because
we don't want any trouble with
the bartenders, and anyway our
danes are not going after the
bartenders' jobs"
John T. Fitzgerald, the found
er, dean and faculty of the New
York Bartenders' School, admit
ted he has had some coed pu-
pills. "They were mostly tea
room operators and didn't intend
to be real bartenderS," he ex-
planned.
II am afraid that women are
a little inclined to mix drinks
in the same way they cook -
which is by instinct" he COM
mented. They waste liquor in
making cocktails, and they're a
bit heavy handed with such
things as simple syrup and
grenadine.

Mrs. Mary Arthur, a resident

yesterday morning at the Grove

anyway, they would not strike
quite the impersonal note of a
perfect bartender. / remember
a girl named Edith - not one
of my pupils who got a job
in a roadhouse bar.
Edith decided that her-ah
sex should be inconspicuous,
so she cut her hair short and
wore a mannish shirt and didn't
talk much. Many of the custom
ers didn't notice her particular
ly, and sometimes they got to
talking the way men will at
bars.
but when their language got
too rough, Edith's feminine del
icacy would be outraged and
she would threaten to call a cop.
This embarrassed the customers
and was bad for business, so the
proprietor finally married Edith
and made her stay home until
her hair grew long again"

the Senate Defense Investigating
committee declared today that
the Office of Civilian Supply
had "gambled dangerously and
unwisely with our nations food
supply"
The report, made public by
chairman Truman (D-Mo), said
the OCS, War Production
Board agency, rejected recon-

department and substituted in
stead recommendations based
ION a formula which was devel-
oped for it by a professor OF ag-
ricultural engineering"
Joseph L. Weiner, director of
WPB's Office of Civilian Supply
told the committee Wednesday
that farmers were entering l943
with 1.-The greatest aggregate
quantity of machinery in his
tory" While new machinery
had been limited to % per cent
of 1910 production, he said, re-
pair parts had been upped to l67
per cent of 1910 figures.
The committee, however, said
it was "a rt-sighted policy to
think that most farmers could,
by making repairs, keep up a
substantial production for a year
or So"

the feminine handwriting on the
back-bar mirror and sponsored
a proposal for statewide prohibit
ton of drinkmixing and beer
tapping by women.
At the mere mention of grog-
shop glamorists, Mr.. Townsend
fixed up like warm and rude
ly-shaken bottle of beer, his
protests sounding like combf-
nation of gallant chivalry and
misanthropic unionism. He said
w omen would get unsightly
muscles from shaking cocktails,
and ugly hands and nails from
contact with malt beverages.
Then he added. And we'd get
the wrong kind of women try
ing for the job"
Another local union official,
John F. y.elly, who swung spig-
OTIS and tipped bottles for 20
years, insisted that bartending
not only is a mans work but
that enough trained men will be
available for it. Of $50 men,
bers of his local, only "A were
in the armed services.
This implied no lack of pa
triotism among the men who
have to listen to so much war
talk while shaking up time

planned. "Bartenders have flat
