The announcement of the two teams for that nights quiz contest reads: The All-Stars vs. the USO staff The last three words spell out the drama of the occasion! After many weeks spent in prepar- ing questions designed to perplex the Servicemen and GSO contest ants always making sure that they weren't too easy suddenly the staff members find themselves destined next Tuesday for the first time to be on the receiving end of the quiz. So the really important question of that evening will be none of those asked of the contest ants, No, the significant query will be Those staff members can hand it out sure enough-but can they take it?' Time cat least a half-hour of it on Tuesday, alone will tell
 II is no secret that the majority of the competitors in the quiz con- tests have not relished being on the air. Each knew all too well that more than one pal of his waited with itching fingers on radio dial and.a leering look ill his eyes, an- ticipating with delight the emo ticaal agony of this particular quiz kid in his vain attempts to recall such simple facts as CD the total number and @ the respective names of the wives of Henry VIII, wishing that either he himself or Henry VIII had never been born! With the exception of an occasional competitor and a very few entire teams, all of the contestants have agreed to appear only out of gen. eroMs and sporting desire to be helpful to the USO and not to dis appoint a staff member by saying Nc to his urging. We are sure that the subsequent ribbing of their friends has proved so annoying in many eases that such generous ges- tInes subsequently, were deeply re- gretted Accordingly, human na- ture being what it is, lot of one time victims cannot be blamed if they frankly relish the discomfort with which they naturally antici- pate the staff members will occupy the limelight for the first time.
 The challenge to the staff has come from a group of soldiers and GSO girls from which an all-star team tall-star both in name and in fact) is being selected The group is composed of those com petitors who have had the best quiz records over the past several months. Although no formal an- nouncement has yet come from tEe staff, it is being assumed that

the week we met large number of men coming to the Club for the first time and leaving a particularly fine impression on us, of whom we might well single out one for spec ial mention, Burt" Burtzloff, genial new friend from Michigan, just back from the Aleutians and we will remember (but very regret fully that the past week has also witnessed the departure from Ju- neau of all too many friends of whom we are especially fond, com prising long list of which we can make mention of no more than four: Len Faerber, and Chris Christian, and Vaughn Powell and Joe Garrett We will miss them all very much and will be wishing them all very well.

HIGHLIGHTs- -oF-THE- WEEK

Each week that comes and goes at the Club seems invariably to be highlighted by at least a few inci- dents that stick in the memory and will not be dislodged. Of course in an average week no more than sev- eral of them at the most will be significant; many will be trivial. The week just past has been no exception For example, it is very pleasant to recall an hour spent at the pool table with the widely liked Oscar Krenzke, Soldier from Minnesota, playing the game so well as to convince this observer that he is the ablest of all the players yet seen in the clubhouse and it is good to recall the impress sively high score attained by Mar
 jorie Shell, 19 out of 22, as she won the contest on Friday to identify the GSO girls baby pictures, the winners of the prize for Service HIGH DtlllS tut Jtdll Ol DOlulClo Tommy Swartwood and "Blackie" Schwartz, who had IA correct guesses and the keen enjoyment of everyone in those baby pictures is gratifying to remember as is our luck in having sense enough not to include contest to select the most beautiful or the cutest baby from among that fascinating lot of them, though we don't hesitate to report to you that a number of the fellows have agreed that they never have seen, either in professional pho tographic contest or anywhere else, any child's picture quite as ire sistable as that of the smiling, less than -year-old, cherup whom they now know as the GSO Secretary, Lila Sinclair and we recall with distinct pleasure the even- more than usually spirited nature of the discussion at Mondays meet ing of the Forum Club at the home of Mary and Jean Shaw, making it one of the most useful of all the sessions of that first-rate group and will not forget that during

last July, and that heart warming cfnldrens' party on Christmas af- ternoon. We will not forget either of these affairs; but certainly we ought not to have failed to get camera shots of both of them.
 We are beginning to acquire fair number of snaps of the GSO Girls, though the set is nowhere near complete In another respect, also. there is serious need: All most no action shots are to be found depicting any part of the Clubs varied weekly program. We shall try to remedy this defect at once. Thus we plan to get flash light pictures of the next session of the Forum Club, one of the early Friday night games parties, and one of the Thursday night dances as well as a picture of the next Formal at the Scottish Rite Temple.
 The most interesting and com- plete and best arranged collection of snapshots we've recently seen is that owned by Lois Allen, newest GSO girl. Lois printed and de- veloped most of them herself; and she has a collection to be very proud of We have asked her to assist Mary Mccormack to bring our book up to date just as soon as possible. With the help of all you Service men who have pictures to contrib ute, we can count on Mary and Lois shortly completing the development of our collection into really good one. .s.- 2

ALL-sTARs vs. Uso STAFF

It seems pretty well established that there is such a thing as retri- butive justice in this world The Mounties do, in fact as well as in fiction and in the movies, finally get their man; and the chickens, famed in the old adage, are a sure thing to come home to roost. That being so, it seems very likely that next Tuesday night will see large crowd of former victims gathered together at the USO, or listening in ever the air, for the sole purpose of enjoying the meting out of heavy handed justice to their erstwhile tormentorS.

AMONG MY SOUVENIRS !

AMONG MY SOUVENIRS ~ @'
 From week to week in this col umn we have mentioned with a lot of pride just about all the depart ments of the Club, as well as the entire program and most of the various items of interest around the building. Only one such item has deliberately been omitted; and that is because it has needed con- siderable development before rating mention. We refer to the album of USO snapshots. Though still not nearly as complete as it should be, now at last it definitely merits inspection by all you Servicemen. And by means of your contributions we hope you will enable us shortly to make it truly worthy of the Ju- neau USO.
 Fortunately the book starts with a series of four shots of the interior of the clubhouse in its pre-USO days of October, 1942 of you are disinclined to believe in miracles, or if you are a sceptic as to the creative power of sheer optimism when facing the impossible, let someone among the oldest of the local inhabitants inform you about the age of this structure, then glance over page 1 of the album. and finally look around you at the Club on mid-January day of 1944! A number of the Seryicemen and the townspeople who have played major parts in the Clubs life are pictured in the book; former Di- rector Sid Cowgirl, of course, Mrs. Frank Boyle, Miss Marie Struve and A. B. Cain are there; and Sol- diers Erwin Hagerup, Johnny Moore and Steve Bzdek, and several others who helped with the remodeling of the old building but whose names are not recorded for us, and who no longer are stationed in Juneau. Some good action shots are to be found: the popular Sgt. Hank Majcher, dressed only in shorts, ,s there pressing his pants; and there's a session of lively square dancing; and the USO float, from various angles, in the Independence Day parade; and some excellent prints of the Juneau-Ketchikan boxing matches held at the ball park. You'll find that some of the earlier group pictures already have a very nostalgia effect: Look at that one Of "Buddy's and. Billie's hill-billy'' dance band of last spring-remem- Der how many evenings of fun they furnished us? Of course. too. there are those snaps that may be classified as the sort that are in evltable" in every collection: The one of the totally oblivious soldier caught in blissful slumber in the lobby, and that one taken across the street from the Club with the subject directly under the large sign No parking in front of this door"
 Our album contains several beau tlful views of glaciers and moun- tains, but we need more of them. And there are at least couple of inexcusable omissions: it was no less than grossly negligent for us to fail to get pictures of two of the most memorable of all local USO events-the unique and ex- ceedingly successful street dance of

WPB maintained 1t had shut
down the gold producers to get
miners for the copper, lead and zinc
mines, to aid the war effort. Now
that this excuse win no longer hold
water, gold miners are in mood
to demand action, or else.
It hasn't helped bit for mining
men to read that while domestic
gold mines are shut down, the
United States government has
made arrangements "for the supply
of necessary material and equip
ment to maintain operation of the
gold mines of the Peruvian govern
ment."
Of interest to Montana gold mine
operators is the sentiment of Colo
radoans, as expressed in a recent
article by Thomas H. Walker, fl
nancial editor of the Denver Post:
"Of late the government has said
that stockpiles of copper, lead and
zinc are ample for war needs, I'M
less some emergency develops. The
government has enough of the stra-
tegic metals on hand. Therefore,
there is no reason to keep the gold
properties inactive, leaders said.
in addition, mining men point
out, older men are being sent back
from the army, and defense plants
hardly will be able to absorb all of
these workers, as war contracts are
cancelled, leaving surplus for gold
mining operations.
''The fact that all plans for inter-
national monetary control are based
on the gold standard shows gold
win be needed in large quantity. In
open gold markets throughout the
world, gold is selling at around $50
an ounce, or sharply above the
price of $35 an ounce prevailing in
the United States"

.Jardine Mine
VIII Produce
Arsenic Ore

LIVINGSTON.-The Jardine Min
ing company started operation at
It's mill in Jardine Monday, after
being closed down for two years.
During recent months stockpile
of ore has been accumulated while
the mill was renovated and re-
paired, and 1t is expected opera
ton will be continuous from now
on.
After being inactive for con-
siderable period Jardine reentered
the mining picture last July when
VIM. r. Hax, president of the COM
pany, secured a federal contract for
arsenic production that win keep
the mines and mill operating for at
least two and half years.
At the same time he secured a
loan from the Smaller War Plants
Corporation to finance improve
ments in mines and mill and for
equipment to handle the contract
Rehabilitation of the mill and de-
velopment of mine deposits started
In July, and the entire plant is now
in shape for operation, and Vilroy
c. Miller, attorney for the COM
pany. says preliminary operations
have started off smoothly, promis-
ing long period of uninterrupted
production.
The Jardine ores yield arsenic
and gold tungsten.
Since July the company has en-
ployed large crew of millmen and
miners. 1t is not known to what
extent the start of operations may
increase the force.
