NOTES TO BE AvAILABLE BY
 FIRST OF YEAR

Postmaster General Walker has announced that contract has been awarded for the manufacture of 100, 100000 Postal Notes, and efforts are being made to place this new and inexpensive type of money order on sale at all of the 1,575 first class post offices by the first of the year.
 The new type of money order will be made available to post offices other than that of the first class as rapidly as adequate stocks of Postal Notes come from the presses. However, from the beginning they may be cashed at any post office in the United States.
 Eighteen denominations of stamps will be issued in connection with the notes. They are 1c, 2c, Sc, 4c, SC, Sc, 7c, Sc, Sc, 10c, 20c, BOG, 40c, soc, soc, roc, soc and 90c There will be II denominations of notes from to $10.
 This is the procedure that will be followed when Postal Notes be- come available: A person who wants a Postal Note for S293 will go to the Money Order window. The clerk will affix a soc and a Sc stamp to a $2 Postal Note, and exchange the note for $2.98 (there is uniform fee of 5c). There are TO applications for the purchaser to fill out, no writing to be done by the clerk. The purchaser leaves the window, writes in the name of the payee on the note, detaches his record stub, on which he also re- cords the payee's name, and mails the Postal Note. The note itself is pre-punched calculating card form

USO PATRONESSES

They met on Monday, those pa- tronesses of the club. It was the best attended meeting in nearly two years. Why? They had heard there'd be the opportunity to play mother to our men on Christmas Eve, and each one wished to be preparing to do her share tand MORE than just her shareD.
 Tn the 2l months of residence of this collunnist of yours in Ju- neau he has observed numerous heart warming sights of thoughtful things done for the servicemen. Somehow, Mondays meetin g seemed to merit the place at the very top of the list.
 It was pointed out to the ladies that this Christmas will be a hard one to bear for the vast ma ajority of our men. Not just few have recently learned of the deaths of loved ones. In a single letter from his mother one man has been told that three of his brothers had been killed in action. Fellows in from the Aleutians, in combat over enemy territory, have lost many 1 friends there. To almost everyone during the past year has come the realization that the war is to be far more prolonged than they had once made themselves believe. Home Gas something more mean ingful than place to rush to and from on a furlough) has ceased to be the eventual sure-thing it once seemed to be.
 Yes, our fellows will need friend ship this Christmas as never be- fore And the ladies of this com munity are going to give express sion to their friendship for these men in affectionate and unmistak- able terms.

NAMES IN A NOTEBOOK

It's only an imaginary notebook that we carry. But the names in it are the names of real people. And it contains many such names en- tered under recent dates. Picking out a few, at random:
 Soldiers Lauder McVay, Bob Satire and Harvey Sims: Popular local fellows home on furlough, they've been spending a lot of their time at the club, with Bob delight ing us over his piano selections until 3 o'clock Monday morning. And Sylvia Anderson, Norm a Burford and Mickey Crowell: Re- gently we've been awaiting word from USO headquarters in New York, authorizing us to spend a substantial sum to improve the appearance of the clubhouse. In the meantime, by their mere re- turn to Juneau and the USO,
 Sylvia, Norma and Mickey in- stantly improved it's appearance, without increasing our budget in the slightestl
 And Coast Guardsman Bob Olander, of Duluth, Minnesota, and Bob Burrell, of Omaha, Nebraska Well-liked fellows around here, they are two of the men who've entered pictures of their girls in the USO Beauty Contest. They certainly are soulful pair as they stand for at least a few minutes every day in front of our show case, gazing at those pictures, fin- cidentally, two of the loveliest looking of all the attractive con-

 And hig hly regarded George Brabow, from upstate New York He's been receiving the hearty con- gratulations of his host of friends on his recent elevation to First Sergeant of the local Port Com pany.
 And the whole crew of the Aurora: Our staff and the GSO girls in general are much pleased over the return of these men. AL ready they are very popular here, We hope they will find the club increasingly to their liking.
 And Sergeants Henry zaleski and Fred Ritterbusch: The accident of Tuesday night has greatly shocked us. We earnestly wish them speedy and complete recoveries.

Prisoner of War

On my desk this morning is a photostatic copy of letter from an American Army Air Force Lieutenant who is a prisoner of war in Germany. While he says that he was shot down over "occu- pied territory" with characteristic modesty, he makes no mention of having received a citation for gal lantry in action in the very flight that interrupted his fighting career. From other sources we learned about this, and also that he was a Bombardier in a Flying Fortress. His letter was written to one of my dear friends, q fine, seasoned ad- vertising man, president of his agency, who wrote practical book on advertising some years ago.
 Our young lieutenant apparently is not wasting his time fretting about his present incarceration. He wants to make advertising his life's work when Peace again comes to the World, and was fortunate indeed in getting hold of copy of my friends book. How 1t got into the library of a German prison camp will, perhaps, remain a mys- tery until after the war is over. Our hero writes that he hopes to get other books on advertising from Geneva, and asks for further sug- gestions that would aid him in preparing himself for successful career when he gets home.
 And, who could be deaf to such an appeal as his? Certainly not my friend. So what's he doing about it? We'll, he's writing to number of other advertising men, enclosing to each a copy of our flying lieu tenants letter, and suggesting that they write him once a month giv- ing him counsel and encourage ment.
 No, my friend doesn't want any fanfare of trumpets or medals pinned on him, for what he's doing to help a young lad who was pre- pared to give his all for us stay-at- homes. It's just a healthy sign of American businessmen s interest in following through in that impor- tant job we have to do-to help millions of our finest citizens, the cream of the crop, get back into normal peacetime pursuits.
 We don't know of a single Amer ican business enterprise, big or little, that is not willing to take on this responsibility. All of them are including it in their postwar plan ming.
