more than negligible minority were boring over old issues of the Readers Digest. Thanks to the presence of five charming young ladies in their midst the majority were having delightful and thoroughly literary evening, in which it should be added the di- rector promptly joined them.
 That night, as our good luck would have it, several large ships were in Juneau and the five girls were among their passengers. They were Jean and Pat" Laskowski from Minneapolis, Minn.; Jackie H. Todden, from Hamburg, Iowa, and Gladys and Irene Iversen, from Ketchikan. Exceedingly charming and friendly, all five made an i'm mediate hit with everybody around the Club. When their boats sailed several hours later, we all felt that we had lost some real friends.
 In theatrical parlance, this road company of the GSO played to SRO in it's one-night stand in Juneau. We hope it will be booking a return engagement in the near future.

CHARMING VISITORS

Saturday afternoon, the Club di- rector was feeling qu:5e apprehen- sive about the evenings activity at the USO,-or more accurately, the lack of it. He apologized to a serviceman who would be in town for only a few hours: Its going to be a very quiet Saturday night here, I'm afraid Almost all our girls are invited to another CT dance. It looks like one of those rare nights at the USO without feminine attraction Sorryl It should give us all a chance to catch up on our reading"
 By 8:30 that evening the director had established for himself an average of .333,-not bad for a baseball batter but mediocre as a prophet. At that moment not one of our GSO members was in the USO. But was the Club very quiet" And was it without feminine attraction?" Well, not exactly certainly not in the opinion of the members of the Port Company. When the director walked into the Club that night they were there at just about full strength; and no
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-09-28

body else. To any of the service men at the club who did not req lize that a ship was just in from the States and that it's passenger list included the name of one Mary Margaret Femmer," this oft repeated jargon called across the room doubtless sounded like some unintelligible, mysterious catch phrase.
 Whatever "femmersback" might mean, however, the uninitiated would have realized that the eff feet upon the person receiving the information was very good indeed. Yes, everyone obviously was de- lighted, and naturally so. For Mar garet Femmer, extremely popular GSO girl, had gone south in June and had been very much missed. When she left she hadn't expected to return to Alaska for a year, so, naturally, the word of her ar rival last week was most welcome news.
 Along with the men and girls the USO staff members unani- mously rejoice over Margaret's re- turn. Already she has played the coming. Already she has played the piano (Which she does welD at three of our songfests; has agreed to serve here every Sunday night as an informal hostess tshe started in at this last Sunday, helped us out on Tuesdays quiz program, and typed some letters for us. argaret not only plays the piano we'll she does EVERYTHING well!

AWARD TO PAT

We find we have only few lines of space left to report one of last weeks happiest moments We refer to Friday nights party at which Pat Fleek was called up to receive the first of the Special Awards of the Juneau USO.
 As explained by Zach Gordon it is planned to make an award on two or three occasions during the year to a serviceman or a GSO girl who shall have rendered to the Club some service of extra ordinary significance resulting in a notable growth in it's spirit of friendliness.
 There can be no possible doubt but that Pats contribution to the sum total of the Clubs spirit of friendliness during the past summer was extraordinary, fact, it was decidedly unique. Blessed with a rare personality, sunny disposi- ton, and a fine character, Pat has endeared herself to literally count less servicemen and has done im- measurable good for the USO.
 Tn presenting her with that beau tiful compact at Friday nights ceremony, 1st Sgt John Kane and the Club director gave voice to feelings of affection and respect for Pat that are widely and very deeply held.

PLAYING THE PIANO BY SIGHT

Anybody spending practically all his time in a USO for Is months is certain to be subjected to lot Iof music duke box variety and otherwise) during that period. Much of it is remarkably good; some is equally terrible On occasion a little .of it proves to be just plain extra ordinary.
 Two Coastguardsmen, new in town, were seated near our piano one afternoon last week. One of them looked as though he might like to play it. The director invited him to do so. The lad seemed re- luctant to accept at first; but shortly his friend succeeded in get ting him up there.
 The director offered him some sheet music. T don't read music, he said.
 You play entirely by carp asked the director, instantly realizing that his question was an obvious one.
 No came the astonishing re- ply, T play only by sight" Where upon he proceeded to do just that He ran through four numbers, each of the boogie -woogie variety, all somewhat complicated The whole time he was at the piano he fixed his attention rigidly on the key board He told us afterwards that it was necessary for him to re- member visually where every finger was supposed to go on every piece. Astonishingly, the result from the standpoint of the listeners, was

BARN DANCE

Leave behind you an open door and somebody will surely call out Where were you born--in a barn?" Saturday therell be an open door at the USO; and, inside, it will look like a barn tat least, the deco rating committee hopes it will. So, you servicemen and GSO girls, wherever you were born. be sure to come to the USO Barn Dance that night at 9:45. It'll be fun!
 Music by the Servicemen's Band, special entertainment during in remission, delicious refreshments, and striking decorations-each of these, we're confident, will con- tribute toward making the affair an outstanding success.
 But from the fellows viewpoint the most attractive feature by far will be the fact that all the girls will be wearing gingham dresses tor the equivalent) and sporting pig tails, if practicable Just why men in general seem so partial to ging- ham dresses and pigtails, personally we're not enough of psychologist to understand Maybe you don't need to be a psychologist-perhaps commonsensically, it's simply be- cause it reminds them of their boy hood days when all the girls they knew dressed that way. Anyhow we're confident that what we say cn this point goes for substantially the entire male sex.
 Note that we referred to "ging- ham dresses tor the equivalent). ]" In our personal opinion there isn't anything that deserves being rated as equivalent" to gingham dress. Contrariwise, we know of one thing that is NOT the equivalent of a gingham dress,- pair of slacks ! We guess we'd better not speak positively on this subject for any, body but ourself, although we never met any man who has good word to say for slacks when worn by girls.
 Incidentally, the decorating com mittee is headed up by John Tis- cher, popular soldier from Chicago Everyone remembers the excellent job John did with the decorations at our barn dance last spring.
 We'll be seeing you Saturday night at the USO without fail AND WITHOUT. SLACKS!

Surprisingly, Montana consum-
