- so NICE TO COME
HOME to-

Is SOOu W ne DICK III Julledu AGAIN
and at the USO. The vacation
spent in Pennsylvania was a very
happy one, every hour of it; and
the visit at the national head
quarters of USO in New York
proved interesting and instructive.
In all respects it was a JOY to be
home in the States!
Being a fellow, however, who is
SO lucky as to possess two homes
at present Juneau is no less than
one of those two homes, we just
inevitably experienced a heart
warming thrill when we returned
late Sunday afternoon. The thrill
came from the sight of scenes at
once both new and old-and- famil-
lar. Flying some two hundred
miles down from Whitehorse we
saw the most majestically beauti-
full country within our experience.
We had expected it to be wonder
full; but not quite THAT WON
DERFUL.
A few minutes later we were
back in the USO, finding it look
ing exactly as the day we left it,
and there were Aida Matheson and
Mary Mccormack and Luise and
Emma Nielsen, appearing cat least
so it seemed to U.s. individually
even more charming than before
and collectively making the Club
look like old familiar friendly
self. Before that evening was over
at least rs of the servicemen we've
known well and fifteen of the ESQ
girls had given us so cordial a
welcome as to make us feel that
we'd truly been keenly missed. In
it any wonder that COMING BACK
HOME TO JUNEAU for the first
time turned out to be an unfor-
getable experience in happiness?
In addition to all the other
causes for being glad to be in Jul
neau just now, here are just few
reasons selected more or less at
random, though each has it's own
particular significance: One of the
incest was the unexpected discovery
that there is still in this area an
outfit whose members have been
almost daily visitors at the USO
for nearly year and who when
they finally do leave) will be long
and affectionally remembered by
our staff and there was the
finding at the USO of three very
attractive new ESQ girls in the
persons of Juanita Crow, Florence
Jensen and Mary Scott, all recent
arrivals in Alaska =. and the
finding OF Lorraine Rude and Bar
bara Smith, back in town after
having been too long listed in our
USO Missing Misses Department
and learning of the continu-
ing presence Though for only
few more days. of Beverly LEVERS
and Esther George, to whom we
are going to dislike saying goodbye.
1t was a treat also, to meet at
last young lady of whom we'd
heard a lot of nice things from
her many friends-Anna Lois Davis,
whose high achievements among
the Rainbow Girls seem to have
justified every bit of the confidence
those friends have no notably dis
played.
And to add one more to the
long list of personally very crafty
ing items that were incident to
our return: There was that char
acteristic bit of thoughtfulness dis
played by Shirley Kleweno which
prompted her to postpone her eve
ming of hospitality to the Forum
Club until this Monday when she
and her mother gave us all one of
the most enjoyable evenings the
Club has had in many weeks.

PAIN, PUZZLES AND PRIZES

PAIN, PUZZLES AND PRIZES
Do you ENJOY SUFFERING?
At least do you enjoy it when it
is SELF-INFLICTEDp Are you
one of those otherwise normally
intelligent gents who finds SAT-
ISFACTION IN Furnishing HIM
SELF in various and sundry ways?
There are a lot of such folks in
the world, you know; they really
must LIKE TO SUFFER, or how
else can you explain fellows who
lie on beds of spikes. or people
you've seen them in the moviesl
who cut holes in the ice and take
dip before breakfast every NOR
ming; or, for that matter, the ones
who take plunge into an ice-cold
tub every day? None of them are
OBLIGED to do it, are they? And,
speaking of men who seem to en-
/ joy punishment, how about ski
| jumpers? tP. G. Wodehouse once
wrote: isn't there enough sad
ness in the world without people
going around tying planks to their
feet and jumping off the sides of
lmountains?'D p
Yes, not few folks enjoy in
flicting beating on themselves in
a big way. But just about all of
us seem to like it to a greater or
lesser degree. Doubtless that is
why someone invented the jigsaw
puzzle that awaits solution at the
USO just now. A few weeks ago
we mentioned it briefly in this COL
umn. 1t is the most exasperating-
ly simple looking puzzle we ever
saw--and the most annoyingly diff
ficult to solve. Only one person
we've seen work at it has ever
solved it. Yet it consists of mere
matter of is pieces, and the design
is nothing but the ordinary checker
board with its regulation number
|of alternating red and black
squares. Your first impression is
that its solution will be nothing
but the simplest cbild's play. But
before long you are likely to con-
clude that only an Einstein would
have chance to master the darn
thing.
We believe you servicemen and
ESQ girls will want to take a

question asked us related to the
weather, and especially the severity
of the extreme cold spell that it
is understood annually holds the
entire Territory in it's grip from
early summer to late spring. We
felt positively ashamed of ourself
when We had to disappoint our
friends by telling them how con-
sistently mild the Southeast Alaskan
climate actually is They would
have enjoyed. we are sure, at our
expense a bit of vicarious suffering
in the midst of 30-foot snow drifts
and 60-degrees-below-zero tempera-
lures!
The second question usually re-
lated to postwar business oppor-
tunities up here. ION that point
we tried to recall all the predictions
and all the arguments pro and con
we'd listened to since we've been
here. We thought it best to be
conservative, so we just passed these
arguments along for whatever they
might be WORTH Then, of course,
most of the men wanted to know
if the fishing and the hunting were
really as wonderful as they'd read
about. I'VE weren't a bit conser-
vative on this pointD
Everybody seems &c nave quite an
accurate idea as to the beauty of
Alaska. That is to say, they know
its mountains and its glaciers are
strikingly beautiful beyond anything
in the States. They realize, how
ever, that the grandeur of this
country must be seen to be COM
prehended-and they intend to see
it.
The nearest thing we know pos
itively and for certain is that a
trip to Alaska is going to be first
choice among the vacation plans
of no less than hundreds of thou
sands of Americans just as soon
as those happy days of vacation
planning are here again!
