BROADCASTS

The Club is happy over the chance
to cooperate with the Special Serv-
ices Division of the Army in its
presentation OF certain radio pro-
grams over Station K1NY Last
Thursday the first of these broad
casts featured the dance music OF
the Servicemens Orchestra origin
ating from the clubhouse; and on
Tuesday of this week our Quiz Con-
test went over the air from our
lobby. We understand that both
were we'll received. In time it is
hoped that these broadcasts will be
able to be heard in at least some CT
the western States, though this rs
not vet practicable. incidentally, We
take this opportunity to express the
Clubs appreciation to all the ESQ

short notice accepted the respons-

cars AND DOGS

You've heard the familiar saying
that it's been raining cats and
dogs" Perhaps the Juneau weather
has something to do with it; in any
event the Club has been getting
much more than its quota of these
domestic pets in recent weeks. 1t is
an unusual day during which neither
a stray dog nor cat drops in to
sample USO hospitality. Doubtless
they're taking seriously the PROPOSE
ton that a USO Club is "a home
away from home" But we're skep-
teal as to their sharing the Service
mems point of view that our hos
pitality ought to be something less
than permanent. If we continue to
have as many of our canine friends
as have been checking in during
recent days and nights we'u soon
be able to- recruit a whole USO COM
pany of Dogs for Defense, Inc.
Ever since it opened, the Club has
been given the chance to adopt a
very wide variety of pets, including
(we're serious about this) canary
birds. parrots and guinea pigs, but
to date there is no sign of weaken
ing resistance to all offers. We

FIRST DISTAFF
WOMAN DOCTOR
I'm u. s.. ARMY
BY MARGARET KERNoDLE

WASHINGTON II The sicker a
man is, the more willing he is to
accept a woman doctor, declared
dynamic Major Margaret D. Craig
hill, first woman doctor Of the Unit
ed States Army Medical Corps, dur
ing her first day on duty in. the
Surgeon Generals office.
She comedies a we'll man prob
ably prefers a male doctor and her
attitude is-"Why shouldn't hep
DR.. Craighills administrative a
bility rates high as a result OF her
reorganization of the nations only
college for women doctors, the Wo-
mems Medical College of Philadel-
phia, which has 1000 living grad
yates. In her 13-year practice at
Greenwich, Conn, she has taken
care of men patients for years in
clinics, along with women and chill
dren. She has specialized in sur
gerry, gynecology and obstetrics.
Preventive medicine will be her
speciality with the Army.
She hopes women Army doctors
will carry their load of medical
work in military areas wherever
needed, if their training qualities
them, just as they have in civilian
life
She hopes too that women Army
doctors won't 'just be segregated
for duty with the WAACs." She
doesn't think they'll ever be used
for routine physicals such as in
duction examinations for Army
men.
Dr. Craighill is a great believer
in medical education of older wo-
men, is proud of the college she
headed as dean, where one grand
mother is enrolled now, and says
women students over 40 do very
well and make good"
Major Craighill is an Army gal
from way back Both father and
grandfather were Army officers;
consequently she travelled around
the country a lot with her five sis
ters and her parents, who never
seemed to settle in one place long
enough for her to acquire a formal
education. But finally when they
moved to Portland, Me, one of her
sisters thought it would be nice for
Margaret to go to high school, to
see if she could make it. She did,
and went on to the University OF
Wisconsin and then to Johns Hop
kins.

Irso OVERSEAS CHIEF

1t was great pleasure last week
for the Club to play host to VIM e.,
Leigh, the Director of the entire
overseas Division of the USO. Mr.
Leigh has come from headquarters
in New York to inspect the USO
program in Alaska 1t was our
good luck to have him with us on
Friday night when we were having
the birthday party for our Service
men and ESQ girls born during
August; and everyone was delighted
when it turned out that our guest
of honor was also an August birth
day boy. He spoke very entertain
ingly and made an immediate hit
with all the fellows and girls pres
ent. We can hardly expect him to
accept an invitation to return to
the Club in the near future; so,
instead, we say goodbye to him with
best wishes in meeting the heavy
responsibility which is his for the
direction Of so much of the impor-
tant work Of USO.

CARDS


Though fle second floor of the
clubhouse is not quite ready for its
formal opening, part of it had a
sort of preview last night when
some of the Patronesses gave an
informal card party for our men.
With Mrs. r. E. Robertson as chair
man of the committee there were
seven of the ladies acting as host
esses. All the men present said
they had fine time. 1t is planned
by the committee to sponsor these
card parties every Wednesday night,
with tables of bridge, pinochle and
poker. We expect this quickly to
become very popular weekly USO
feature.

MERLE SCOTT

1t would be stating the matter
inadequately to report simply that
our Club has greatly enjoyed its
contact during the past several
weeks with Merle Scott, formerly
Director of the USO Club in AM
chorage. Not only has our staff
benefited from his suggestions and
cooperation, but also he has won
a real place in the affections OF
the many men and ESQ girls who
have come to know him. He must
have been particularly pleased at
the action taken at the meeting OF
the Girls Service Organization on
Tuesday night when they directed
that he be notified of their keen
personal regret over his leaving
Juneau so soon. He is being called
to New York for an important new
assignment with USO, the exact
nature Of which will be announced
shortly. He leaves with the best Of
good wishes from all of us and with
the assurance that we hope he may
find much happiness in his new
work -.
Uso : HEADLINERS OF THE
WEEK COMPARTMENT: As usual
heretofore, during the past week a
number of the Servicemen and ESQ
girls have been SO active as to rate
USO headlines. First we mention
two whose names appeared together
as recently as yesterday in other
headlines, sgt. Norman R. Buoy and
his very lovely BRIDE o-be, Colleen
Hellan, who certainly deserve every
good wish Of their many friends.

USO headliners: Ben Plotkin, Win

Much is heard, much is seen in the
problems of postwar World in some
quarters enough to interfere with the
problem of the day: how to end the
war most quickly.
The sudden plunging into the big
job after victory may carry US too
far in certain directions and start us
working at cross purposes creating
suspicion and confusion.
Before policing conquered soil and
deciding on the best form of govern
ment, whether before-war status quo
or a distinctly new set-up is a mighty
hard matter to decide off-hand and
will be largely shaped by local devel-
opments. 1t may be some of the
countries will repudiate their govern
ments-in-exile and try out something
new, the old having produced such
failure.
There is too much speculation on
what Moscow aims to do, especially in
her territorial demands. She may OBJ
ject to the buffer-state set-up or the
Gordon Sanitaire" idea and these
suggestions will likely be conspicuous
by their absence at the peace table
as was the Freedom of the Seas"
