DECEMBER IN AUGUST

1t was June in January ac-
cording to the once-popular song
But the other day it was Deem
Der in August in Juneau" Maybe
you thought that some Of our staff
looked like a couple OF limitations
of Santa Claus when we walked
up to the post office carrying sew
eral dozen packages that appeared
as though they might be Christmas
gifts.
1t SO happens that is exactly
what they were. We had just
heard of group of soldiers and
coastguardsmen stationed at one Of
the most inaccessible spots in the
North Pacific. Shortly a boat will
be leaving for that spot. 1t will
carry the last mail and packages
that these fellows can hope to re-
ceive, either by boat or airplane,
until next spring. So it was neces-
sary for us to get our gifts started
off without delay. It's not unlikely
that ours will be the only Christ
mas gifts they will receive.
This item will serve to remind

EMMA-AND-M MARGARET

There are many combinations
that you grow SO accustomed to
hearing or seeing regularly it just
doesn't sound natural to come
across one of them without the
other being coupled with it. In
variably, it's salt-and-pepper, ham,
and eggs, stars and stripes,
peaches nd-cream-thoSe are only
few of the twin words. And it's
the way it is also with lot of the
fellows here at the USO: you prac-
tically never see certain of them
without seeing their buddies right
at their sides.
It's Ray and AL, and Joe and
Gene, and Lee-and-Bob; it's the
combination, or it's neither of them.
Most notably down here, how
ever, it's that way with two Of
our GSO's. The very closest-knit
of all the combinations is EMMA
AND MARGARET 1t isn't only
the fact that if you see the younger
CT the Nielsens you are very likely
to see Margaret Clark with her.
Even more significant is the COM
radeship of their personalities.
Occasionally it's true you may
see one of the girls without the
other for a short while; but if you
are really observant, you will no.
tice that the one ty herself just
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1944-08-17

doesn't seem to be quite at ease,
that she isn't at her very best.
(And what a blessing to the USO
that VERY BEST always has
been! Nobody can ever come even
close to an accurate estimate OF
what the friendliness of these two
girls has meant to countless SER
vicemen since the Club first
opened)
Now this pair have the oppor-
tunity to be even more influential
than ever, in the life of the USO:
They have just been named jointly
as the two presidents of the Girls
Service Organization. At Tuesday S
election Emma was nominated for
the presidency-and promptly and
emphatically declined the honor
Whereupon, someone moved the
election of Emma Nielsen AND
Margaret Clark twho was absentD
as CO-PRESIDENTS.' hmm d.
lately Emma accepted on behalf OF
both of them!
A century ago in USA history it
was the Lewis-and- Clark Expedit-
ion. Now in USO history it's the
Expedition of Nielsen and Clark
Whatever lies ahead in the uncer-
tain future of the club, we are
confident that their joint leadership
will be enthusiastic and effective
We're sure, too, that along what
ever rugged paths this pair may
lead the way considerable army
/ (AND coastguard) of CT would-be
pioneers will be eager to be close
behind.

PET, OR CO-EDU-
CATION AT THE USO

Education-or the lack of it's
IA problem not only in the USO on
Tuesday nights. 1t is never
ending problem the world over
Why, Just last week we we're read
ing in Time" about the grave edu-
cational crisis that faces our old
Ethiopian friend, Halle Selassie.
Commenting on the illiteracy ram
pant in his country, the item re-
ported that while it was under
the Italian heel, every educated
Ethiopian that could be found was
Systematically exterminated For
six years not an Ethiopian child
was allowed to go to school,
The USO point of view is Just
the opposite. determination of
educated CTS or GSO's is unheard
of here. What we do on Tuesday
nights is Systematically to round UP
all we can find and put them into
school, when Teachers Pet" is
broadcast for a half-hour, begin
ming at $780,
It's a quiz contest of bit diff
ferent nature than any we've had
heretofore.
Instead of having two teams COM
peting against each other with a
Iquizmaster in charge, we have a
teacher and six pupils the con-
test is among the pupils to deter
mine the teachers pet viz. the
student with the highest 10 Tor, at
least, the best luck in answering
the questions.
The reward consists in winning
an attractive prize of leather
picture-frame, cigarette case, or
some other tangible remuneration
plus the doubtful honor OF becom-
ing that object Of scorn of all other
pupils, the teachers pet.
The really tough assignment of
the evening lies not in the contest
itself but in the job of corralling
a half-dozen pupils from all the
potential quiz-kids among the ser
vicemen and ESQ members present
in the Club House. 1t becomes
compulsory education" with-a-ven-
gence to drag the boys and girls
into the USO classroom They're
all too modest about their intellect
ual prowess-when you try to find
six who are willing to be in the
contest, you'd think they didn't
know ANY of the answers! AS a
matter of fact, the average of COR
rect answers to date has been high,
with the two sexes about even in
scoring victories.

gram has been designed and di-

WRITE THE
BOYS
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Recently when | have spoken in
Central Trades Councils, there is one
question which is always asked me.
What should we do to counteract the
ubversive propaganda going on about
labor among the boys in the armed
OrceS? What can be done to assure
he veterans getting the truth? Why
doesn't someone do something about it?
My answer is always the same. The
american Federation of Labor is doing
something about it--but that doesn't
abSOlve the individuals in every local
union from doing their part Of the job.
The American Labor Movement is
iot Caly doing its full share in this
war on the production front, but a
.oodly proportion of the members of
very local union have joined the
armed forces of our nation and are
now fighting on the battlefronts all
over the world.
This gives the members of every
local an opportunity to do their share
IN counteracting antiLabOr prOpa-
ganda.
There is one thing that always gets
through to the boys in the armed
forces and that is V-mail. Let every
local union appoint correspondence
committees whose task it will be to
write regularly to their fellow workers
in the armed Services-and to give
them the facts. Take up one charge
against labor in each letter and give
the true side of the case Let the men
have labor'S explanation at their
act the propaganda which is just as
diStaSteful to them as to the men at
home. They have to be supplied with
the facts to answer the charges.
AS part and parcel of our resire to
show them honor for their patriotism
and their spirit, it is our duty to main
tain close contacts with these, our
fellow trade uniOnists. The men in the
fartlung OutpOStS of our nation are
cut off from their own trade union
contracts. When they leave these
shores, their labor papers cannot al
ways follow lne1n. Inc papers lneI
will see, will, far too often, be anti
labor. They will be among men un-
familiar with trade unionism. They
need to be kept in touch with their own
trade, with their own union, and to
be made to realize that they are still
an integral part of the American La
Dor Movement, which, no more than
Selective service, knows no class, creed
or color.
Most of them are yOung-yOung in
years and young in the movement. In
normal times they would be learning
what trade unionism means. Don't let
that education stop because YOU can't
take the time to write Il letter. Get
busy! This is something YOU can do.

War Labor Board Rejects
AFI Petition For Revision
Of Little Steel Formula

Meany, labor member who presented
the board with the petition, dismissed
this argument, declaring that the sta
biliZation program was always before
congress in some form. ''They just
turned us down fiat. that's all, n"
asserted.
Aieany'S motion that WLB hold Il
public hearing on the petition March

public and industry members voting in
the negative. His motion to approve
the AFL petition rejected "A, with

Dexter Nj. keezcr, public member, not
voting.
Meany then moved that the board
hold public hearing with the object
of advising congress on the wage sta

members voting were: Meany, AFL
