 Fridays have become Talent Nights" at the USO
 For some time now in planning our programs we've kept to a fairly consistent set-up for most of the nights. (Forum Club on Mondays, quiz contests on Tuesdays, square dances on Wednesdays, etc)-ex- cept for Fridays. We've tried to have a rather varied series of fea- lures on that one night. As one feature we've cele "a d our monthly birthday parties on Fri days and we've scheduled our ping pong matches and other contests with men from nearby USO Clubs Now, in recent weeks, we've as sembled a variety of talented fel- lows and GSO girls, as well as townspeople, with the result that we're thinking of Fridays as real Talent Nights
 Last Friday furnished a con- spicuous example of success along these lines. Our program began with Pat Shaffer Cat her very besH playing two bogie woogie numbers on the piano. She was followed by Sgt Bill Weaver accompanied by Lane Roff using his beautiful baritone to excellent advantage. Next came an unusual treat in the appearance of Frank Hugh Pear son Rogers, once of Liverpool, England, who delighted everyone with his recitations, including that Of Kipling's The Ladies"
 At this point two members of that sex took over; and the rest of US surely did learn about women entertainers from them! Florence Jensen, of Minneapolis, played ex- quisitely on the violin and in doing so looked as lovely as, it seems to US, every player of beautiful violin music ought to look. Then the in

way out of the river to join the convoy.
Corvettes and destroyers protected us,
barrage balloons strained in the wind, while
in constant circle around us flew the Sum-
derlands of the Coastal Command.
1t was two days later that ran into the
steward, and asked about the passengers.
That man is sick, =" he answered. Hes been
50 starved that there's no strength in his
stomach He turned to the cook. "Y'know,"
he said IF Id had wife like that woman,
Id never have gone to sea. Y'should see
the way she looks after him. Day and night.
And on top of that" - here the steward
actually blushed - ''she asked me if had
any socks she could darn. My own wife
never asked me that in twenty years"
Cook Comes Through
The cook dashed around the galley like
a madman, lifting the lids off pans, stirring
the contents, Gathering gear Over the din
he called out, "You tell her I'll make her
husband some soup thatll put hair down
his back" This from man who had once
refused to make pot of tea for the shore
superintendent!
Cook took the soup to their cabin himself.
HE was sitting up in his bunk, " he told us
when he came back, "and she was readin'
to him. She takes the soup, smiles, and feeds
it to him. asks her, Has he been sick like
this for long?' D'you know what she said?
She says: Once he was strong. But he was
doctor and Catholic, and the Germans put
him in concentration camp"
Billy Logan gazed at the deckhead above
him When you hear things like that" he
growled, you know how they can machine
gun us in the lifeboats.'
1t was strange how this old couple made
their way into our hearts. One Sunday
morning, she left her husband sitting in the
sun. and on the cooks invitation, mixed
the best Christmas pudding that had ever
been eaten aboard that ship. saw her max
ing it. She pointed to the big mixing basin,
the -four bin the bag of raisins, and gave
little happy laugh. ''Never have l seen so
much good food since was little girl"

AND remember the day l was showing
Doctor Bergdorf convoy bound for Europe
He was standing at the rail, his much
darned trousers tapping tight against his
thin shanks, as pointed out long trail OF
smudges on the far horizon.
Just then a head popped over the rail.
1t was the steward. Now you come along
amidships, Doctor" he called. I'VE got
your eleven o'clock soup and cup of
real coffee"
He waved good-by, and as he climbed
down the ladder, the steward stood ready to
catch him if he slipped.

1t was the morning of Christmas Eve
when land was sighted. heard hail from
the lookout, then the captains slow voice:
Tell the standby man to wake the pas
sengers -" He turned to the chief officer
"1ll bet they'll be glad to see America"
As went aft little later, saw them.
He had his arm around her and both were
standing motionless, gazing silently at the
long dark blue line that was land.
Before long, reconnaissance plane came
out to examine US. The pilot came close in,
clearing our mast with only few feet to
spare. Satisfied as to our identity, the plane
headed back to shore Then heard Mrs.
Bergdorfs voice. "You need not have wor-
ried, Liebchen. From now on, all these
planes are friendly"
Early on Christmas morning, we tied up
in an East-Coast port, all of US happy that
we would spend Christmas ashore. The doc
tor and his wife stood beside their luggage,
waiting for the gangway to be swung down.
As they stepped forward, we heard deep
voice from the bridge: Good luck and a
Merry Christmas to you BOTH" 1t was the
captain.
Christmas Present
HEN, shouldering their luggage, we walked
down the gangway with them to where
taxi stood waiting We slowed their luggage,
and wished them peace and happiness in
this new land. The doctor and his wife were
perched on the edge of the seat, looking at
us and past us to the ship. Suddenly
there was an excited voice from the deck.
''Hey, hold on! Pm coming!'' 1t was
the cook, apron streaming, racing down
the gangway. We opened up to let him
past, and he stood painting in front of the
doctor and Mrs Bergdorf, fumbling for
words When he did speak, his voice was
strangely gentle.
There wasn't much | could do to help
you on the trip Not with this crowd of wild
men to feed =" and he glanced around
with little of his old belligerency. "But
won't you take this recipe - it's the soup
l made for the doctor"
Then, handing the paper to her, he wished
them both Merry Christmas. She whis-
pered reply that only he could have heard;
but there was a look in his eyes that had
never seen before.
Then he closed the door, and we waved
good-by as the taxi headed out of the dark
warehouse
We started back up the gangway, with
the silent cook in the lead. Then Billy Logan
spoke, and he asked what we all were wait
ing to hear What did she say, Cook?"
With an infinite wonder in his voice, he
repeated her words. Here's what she said:
