IEXCELLENT. SINGERS. FINE I FELLOWS

The excellence of the singing of the Ketchikan Coast Guard Glee
 Club at it's various appearances last week here and in Douglas has re- peatedly been commented upon in a number of news items. And rightly so-the members of the Club and its brilliant Director. William Salt

A SAILOR AND A GIRL

It was only a short time ago (were supposed, you know, in these matters not to mention specific dates) that dozen Navy sailors, enroute by plane from Western Alaska to the States, were forced down at the local airport. There be- ing no other spot in town prepared for them that night, they were brought to the USO. It so happened that the great majority of these fellows had made it definite prac- tice not to go to any USO's; hence it was with no delight that they found themselves in ours. Indeed, most of them walked in with pretty obvious chips on their shoulders
 Furthermore (though of course they didn't say it they seemed not ad- verse to our realizing that they were just slowing their gear at the Club, with the intention nf getting out as fast as possible to see what other attractions the town had to offer For many months all of them had been in lonely places, far removed from the chance to talk with any girls.

Nevertheless, he was prob- lem to be solved-at least his con- duct made some sort of quick con- elusive action very desirable. In taking that action, one of our girls accomplished in the space of per- haps ten minutes with that <>>ung sailor what seemed then tand con- tinueS to seem) to this writer to be a bit of human relations work that he has never seen equalled for its combination of deftness, 'firmness and gentleness-and effec- tiveness in an extremely trying sit- uationi We won't embarras the par ticular girl by singling her out for special commendation here: we'll simply point out that it was one of the three above mentioned as being present Emma and Luise Nielsen and Mary Mccormack.

 That they probably carried con . siderable sums of cash with them was an obvious surmise. Wouldn t they, the Director asked, think it good move to check all of it with him for the evening, except the amounts required for their immed- fate needs? tHe recalled with pain ful VividneSs that a month previous another Navy sailor had gone out with several hundred dollars on him, all his savings for his long awaited leave; and that he had returned much later that night with conspicuous evidence of hav-
 ing bought himself considerable liquid refreshment though hardly i enough to account for the entire $500 which was missingD To this suggestion the sailors at once &C., quiesced leaving with the Director some $500. But, more significantly they suddenly seemed to feel that here was q fellow that knew how sailors were. maybe he was O. K
 But however that might be, out they went, swaggering up the street Hardly an hour had passed be- fore they were back. It is no secret that this early return astonished the Club Hostess and it's Director not a little since they'd not been expected back for many hours. This time they seemed willing to mee; the USO at least halfway. And the Club, with Luise and Emma Mel sen and Mary Mccormack on hand was well prepared, VERY well pre- pared, for such a meeting.
 During the next two hours no miracles occurred. Nor were any pretty speeches made Cat least, we overheard none) Nothing, for ex- ample, to the effect that they had previously done USO clubs grave l injustice, and that they surely would not miss an opportunity to visit others in the future. No, noth- ing whatever of that kind was mentioned Some of the fellows talked of other things to the girls, few danced: several did nothing except read the magazines; oue simply played the juke-box Q'll be in Heaven said the darkfaced boy from Brooklyn, 50 long as can keep that juke-box going !"-
 which he did until o'clock in the morning. We repeat. No miracles occurred. The only thing that hap pened was a very understandable thing-1the working of the soften
