interesting Items for Everybody

acquainted with present-day Alaska and who can speak exceedingly in- terestingly on the prospects Of the Alaska of postwar days.
 Shortly before coming to Juneau the writer of this column read an article Git was in the National Geo. graphic Magazine) that he still con- siders the very best he has seen on this subject at any time. It was written by Gov. Gruening and it was entitled Strategic Alaska Looks Ahead"
 You servicemen, it will be stra- tegic on your part to begin now to look ahead to Monday night and to plan to attend chis Forum Club meeting. During the past fifteen months it has enjoyed many excel lent sessions. That of Monday night ought to be the most instructive of all, and the best attended.

"-SOLDIERS, WE WISH
 YOU WELL"

In a poem by A. E. Housman a ing long column of troops go by. He knew none of them; they were just passing through the town. Only one seemed to notice him. As their eyes met, though for no more than a few seconds, they seemed to recog- nize some kinship, this boysand the unknown soldier.
 And the lad feeling himself drawn close to the other in those fleeting moments, cried out:
 What thoughts at heart have
 you and I
 We cannot stop to tell.
 But dead or living, drunk or dry,
 Soldier I wish you well!'
 To Us at the USO it seems all too often that our friends among the servicemen are, in effect, sol- diers in a never-ending column moving past our street corner. Our contacts, measured in days or weeks instead of seconds, still are all too brief for our liking. Eager to be- come well acquainted, there is time for us to do little more than look momentarily into their eyes and call out our good wishes.
 Good wishes, in abundance, com prise our farewell to a considerable number of fellows who (we have just learned) are to leave Juneau almost at once. Because their de- parture is imminent we aren't at liberty to mention any names. Wanting to mention each one by name, we are obliged to let all of them remain anonymous. However. we can identify them as men who have helped to shape the character of the USO from the very begin- ming and who have made it a much pleasanter place for the staff to work in than it could possibly have been without them.
 We will miss them very much Each one leaves Us with our cry of the best of good wishes ringing in his ears and his heart: SOLDIER, WE WISH YOU WELL"

MUSIC AND GIRLS

It's been pointed out that; the American Army in this war isn't a singing army" in contrast with our boys of the first World War. May be it's true they don't sing as much But countless luke boxes and radios evidence the fact that they love to listen to music. And nobody, we are positive, ever accused our lads of l944 of being indifferent toward pretty girls.
 Accordingly, the Club has sched- uled a visit on Friday night. (to- morrow to- a spot where much good music and many pretty girls (in- cluding a number of GSC mem bers) will be on simultaneous dis play. The place is the High school and the occasion is it's Annual Spring Concert. From all indica- tions this is sure to be a delightful affair-and we don't want our Tel iows to miss it. Scheduled for goo thereu probably be an .sRo sian out early; so we plan to leave the Clubhouse promptly at 7:45 o'clock,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-04-27
DANCING CLASS

Tonight at. 7:30 o'clock the sec- ond USO dancing class will begin This is being scheduled in response to the request of many of the ser vicemen. It will continue every Thursday night
 The Club is delighted that Mrs. Fred Geeslin has agreed to serve as instructor. At the start she will be assisted by staff members Aida Matheson and Mary Mccormack, and later by some of the GSO girls. The fellows who learned to dance in Mrs. Geeslin's class last summer were enthusiastic about the excellence of her instruction, and ever since they also have sung her praises as a charming friend and "a delightful dancing partner.
 The class will meet on the second floor of the clubhouse, with no one present except the class members themselves and their teacher, so that anyone who might feel a bit self conscious will be spared an un- welcome audience of fellow CTS.
 Fellows, if you are interested, be sure to sign up immediately at the club desk. The class membership must be limited to about fifteen.
 USO HEADLINERS : OF : THE WEEK DEPARTMENT: AS is true almost any week at the USO, lot of folks during the past week have rated the headlines There was, for one example, Sol- dier John Fischer, from Chicago, one of the new fellows in town, doing an outstanding job as chair man of the Committee on Decora- tions for the Sadie Hawkins Party last Saturday @t* and there was Coastguardsman Hi Shumway, gen eral chairman for the affair and largely responsible for its great success **
 And Sgt. Bill Weaver, another new CT in Juneau, who formerly sang professionally and whose voice at recent Sunday night songfest gave us all distinct musical treat and the Servicemen's Coun- cil rating a collective headline for the excellence of its selection of new members in the persons of the same Sgt. Weaver, together with Sol diers Chuck Huestis, of Seattle. and Louis Wavrovics, of New York
 And those two very useful and popular GSC girls, Jennie Johnson and Ethel Loken, who rate both the headlines and the holidays in the South which they are-about to take but who will be much missed .hereabouts while they are away :" and Al zenger, Jr., local ser viceman home on furlough, merit ing an item personally. and also as the son of parents both of whom have been conspicuously helpful to USO on so many occasions
 And Captain John F. Byrne, Army Chaplain, dropping into the Club last Sunday for a somewhat casual visit but making such an immediate hit with everyone who met him that the USO has rather claimed him as it's own and has been inclined to urge him to spend the greater portion of his free time at the clubhouse.

One Friend To 74nOfheY...

These words of Charles Dickens express exactly
what this newspaper tries to be to the people of
this community.
Because it is during the season of Christmas that
the strength of friendships is most evident we
choose now as the time to express our resolve to
continue to be worthy of the friendship you have
shown us.
In turn we wish for you the most Merry Christ
mas you have ever had. Despite the anxiety and
worry which the war has brought to many of our
homes in the past year, we urge you to remember
that the bells of Christmas were ringing long
before the warriors of wrong rose up and they will
be ringing still when the scars of this generations
conflict are healed and forgotten.
Make faith IN such thouoht vour closest compan.

True Christmas

AHome cmd bleeding from the holocaust,
The Earth moves on too self-sufficed
And stumbles into Christmas, lost
Seeking still more Smto Claus than Christ
We look with hope toword the eastern skies,
For signs Of Christ ond MdrY come again,
When all the while the munger lies
Deep within the hearts Of willing men.
Wise men dbhor the new and subtle pageant
Wherein the greedy merchant ddes descend
To making blessed Christ his agent
Pointing Santa Claus greater friend.
Ruined Eurth the broken strands Of hope
With ovdrice or hate connot be spliced,
Entwine q peace from heortstrings into rope
With less of Santa Claus cnd more Of Christ.
Whatever gift is wrapped in years 10 come,
Must bear the guarantee Of loves purest brands
Focsimiles Of Freedom ore but sugar plums,
Give your heart, ond bear it with cledn hondsl
tonnes T. Logon.
