defeat by votes, a succession of
mothers arrived at the school
and Withdrew their children
from classes. The school pro-
gram first collapsed Friday, and
on Monday only a weak effort
was made by the schools three
teachers TO conduct classes for

braved the catCalls and sissy"
epithets of the picket line TO en-
ter the building.
AGREE TO TRUCE
A true was called at 2:30 p.
m, Monday, when County
School Commissioner Will l..
Lee met with parents and men,
bers of the school board in an
effort to iron out the problem.
Lee agreed TO accompany an
official delegation to Lansing
today to meet with officials of
the Department of Public In
Struction, in an effort TO deter
mine whether a district can OBJ
tain bus transportation without
a majority vote of the taXpay-
ers, or through some other
means.
Principal claim of those de-
handing the bus provision is
that children of five and six
years of age are obliged TO walk
3.5 miles one way to school
(seven miles round trip from
the Heath Manor subdivision.
Throughout the year the rate Of
absenteeism is high, but during
Indictment weather the younger
children stay away for days at a
time.
SERIOUS PROBLEMS
The problem faced by young
children during bad weather is
not denied or discounted by
any school officials, including
Lee, director Jack Moran, Mod
orator Carl Swanson and Treas
urer George Kelly; or by the
teaching staff, Mrs. Elizabeth
Houtteman, Mrs. Tunis Monte or
Beatrice Hatch. All admit that
bus transportation is desirable
for the approximately 80 chill
dren living outside the easy
walking distance area in the
school district.
OPPOSING VOTE
However, in two separate vot-
ing contests (the latest last
Thursday night voters in the
district have rejected the plea
for a bus expenditure. The ma
jority of voters, according to
school officials, live in the area
closer TO the school than the
Heath Manor subdivision, a set

THE MARINES LANDED

A big ship of the u S. Navy was
in port here one day last week.
We can't mention either the day

ship. But it was no row-boat. And
it carried Marines.
IT. was good to see those Devil
Dogs land in town. There have
been almost none of the Marines
around here in the past year or so.
We like their uniforms, and the
way those lads wear them. We like
the pride in the Corps that sticks
cut all over them, the pride that
lights those steady eyes of theirs as
they look squarely into your own.
cThey know, and SO do you, that
there is good reason for that pride.)
Then, too, personally we happen to
like surprises; and we invariably

experience, for it occurs every time
we meet another Marine-a feel
ing Of real delight to find out how
very likeable from a military
standpoint each one turns out to
be. once you get acquainted with
him. Last week we were not con-
fident that any of the Marines
would look in at the Club at all:
but in they came in good numbers
giving us another pleasant surprise.
They had been out west for over

Each staff member Of every USO
Club doing a good job, we think,
acts most of the time as though
his particular club is the only one
anywhere; and when he is asked
by any serviceman for any sort OF
assistance, whether the request be
for something big or little, he makes
the handling Of that particular
problem for that particular man
his major current concern, coming
ahead of everything else. In other
words, each fellow turning to a USO
for service is entitled to expect the
very best personal attention that
can be given him at that particular
club, backed up by all the resources
of the whole national CSO. At
least that is the way in which each
staff member of the Juneau USO
interprets his and its responsibility
and welcomes it,
Living a routine life day after
day along with the other millions
of men in the armed forces, it is
no wonder that a man feels most
of the time that he has lost his
personal identity. Nor is it surpris-
ing that he gets real thrill when
he drops into a USO and finds him
self welcomed as an individual, an
individual person with a non-GI
name-even a FIRST NAME that
maybe he hasn't heard mentioned
since he was last at home. He gets
"a pleasant thrill, and he may even
feel that perhaps there is some basis
at least for that USO claim dan-
tastic, presumptuous boast that it
once seemed to be- of "a home
away from home" If it doesn't
quite become his home, it does be-
come HIS club and its staff men,
bers become HIS friends.
So, generally, when we see on a
report how many other USO clubs
there are and how many millions of
men have visited them, we promptly
put it aside and turn our attention
back to trying to make the Juneau
operation a better and an ever
friendlier spot. Just lately, how
ever, we've realized date was
approaching when it would be in
spring to get sweeping view of
the entire scope of USO in its SER
vice over the whole of the western
hemisphere. That date is the third
birthday of USO, coming in the
first week of February.
Yes, next week there will be sew
eral thousand parties to celebrate
this significant milestone in the
life of the national USO. They will
be held in places all the way from
Fairbanks on the northwest, to
