A SOMEWHAT CHANGED
VIEWPOINT y

Last weeks report on local OPA
was written while your reporter
was still under the influence Of high
pressure organization Subsequent
events may make it necessary to re-
vamp our previous viewpoint
| The five patriot members Of our
organization represent the true
democratic link between the peo-
pie and bureaucracy and as such
are subject to pulling, having,
stretching and lambasting from
both ends; quite evident the patriot
members are regarded as mere pup
pets, any decisions made by them
whether in conformity with the
PAYtriot rules or not are nul and
void if the PAYtriots Sc fit to make
them SO. The prime function of the
patriot members appear to be the
gathering facts upon which the
! PAYtriot can base an adverse de-
cision and pass the buck.
Members of the present board are
anxious to serve the public and the
government and in particular keep
the public informed, very diff
cult task when rules skip around
like paddys fleas or disappear en-
tirely at the will of some PAYtriot.

BEAUTY CONTEST

"A thing of beauty" said the poet lis joy forever" That may well be; but a BEAUTY CONTEST is HEADACHE!
 What we mean is: It's head producing job to try to de- eide the winner among the many beautiful girls whose pictures in variably adorn the USO clubhouse during one of it's competitions to determine THE CTS GORGEOUS EST GIRL-FRIEND!
 Next week will mark the opening of another of the Juneau USO'S beauty y-contests-at long-range. The competition will be among the wives, best girls and sisters whose pictures are entered by servicemen stationed in Juneau or travelling through here.
 The Hong range" qualification means that Juneau and Douglas girls are not eligible to have their pictures entered. It will be bad enough for the local club to suffer 1 the total of the unhappinesS of all the dozens of losers over a distance of a couple of thousand miles or so. We've no desire to feel the effect of the l-hath-no- fury like -a- -woman-scorned wra h of even one scorned woman at any closer range than that!
 Pictures entered may be either snapshots or portrait photographs We are requesting the judges to select that which seems to be the prettiest girl, whatever merit the picture may or may not possess as work of art Each man, of course, may submit only one picture.
 The identity of the girls and their respective champions will not be announced until the close of the contest. Attractive prizes will be awarded by the club to the first, second and third place win ners.
 In our previous contests the only official judging was done by a con-

the" "wood"

"Aged in the wood" is familiar expression, but few people really know how important a part barrels play in the maturing of whiskey. Some time ago we wrote a little piece entitled BARRELS, but we could only scratch the surface of this subject in an article of 300 or 400 words. So this is-more of the same.
 As you know, whiskey is colorless when it comes from the still. At this stage it is drawn into charred oak barrels. Then the casks are placed in bonded warehouses. (AH whiskey is so stored. In the ware house the whiskey usually remains for four or more years, under con- trolled conditions of temperature, humidity and ventilation. The min ute the whiskey gets into the bar rels things begin to happen-slowly of course. Color gradually begins to appear, and the color of wbiskey is derived exclusively from the charred oak slaves. At first the liquid appears yellowish, then 1t takes on an amber shade, and later, when it is properly matured, it has deep reddish-brown color.
 While whiskey is in the wood it also undergoes definite and ln- tended changes in aroma and taste characteristics, because of continu- ous reactions occurring in the bar rel. For instance, the liquid takes certain extractives from the wood; then there is oxidation of the or ganic substances in the whiskey and of the materials extracted from the wood. Some new products are formed in the whiskey as a result of a reaction among the various organic substances. All of these constituents in whiskey, pro- duced by nature, contribute to the we'll known f1avor-sO easily rec ognizable by you as "whiskey taste"
 And may we remind you again that nature does most of the work; man controls the natural processes -importantly.
 Sometime soon, in another arti- cle, we will tell you more of these scientific controls exercised in our very modern distilleries. "Men in white" are constantly working ob jectiuely to keep our Industry under the canopy of the slogan-AMERI- CANS MAKE THE BEST OF EVERY THING!

PREMIERE

Tomorrow nights broadcast of the USO radio show will be especi- ally interesting for several reasons.
 This will mark the resumption of the shows by the USO Commandos on Friday nights. Because of the absence of Corporal Richard L. Peter for several weeks at an out post no presentations have been made since mid-September. From all sides we learn they've been very much missed.
 The most important fact is that Blind Date" is not only an original script, but this will be it's first presentation anywhere at any time.

mittee of three local citizens. In this new competition, there will be another such committee; but there will also be balloting by all ser vicemen. Accordingly, in effect there will be two con te S, and it is not improbable that each may produce different first-place winner
 And-oh, yes,-we almost forgot one of the most important rules {: No pin-up girl pictures, please. This is supposed to be a competition among BEAUTIFUL FACES-and that's ALL that counts Personally we are no disbeliever on the sub- ject of Varga Girls. On the con- trary, it is our firm conviction that no individual sponsorship of any Varga or other such-like young lady is appropriate and that by public acclaim they all are en- titled to a place of honor on the clubs bulletin board If you have any of these pictures to spare, by all means pin them up there.
 History repeats itself, they say. So, you young hopefuls who still are bachelors, listen to this: There have been just two previous USO- sponsored beauty contests. The winner of the first, the very fas- cinating Miss Peggy Hawkins, of Seattle, several months later mar ried Soldier Dick Garrison, who had championed her portrait in that competition. And the winner of the second contest, lovely Miss Patricia Muncy, of Edinburg, Illi- nois, is at this very moment within a day or two of becoming the bride of Coastguardsman Hi Shumway, the proud possessor of the hand some picture which earned her that beauty crown.

 BUCKBURGERS A LA HARMON
 In the furtherance of USO's public relations, or maybe purely in the interest of philosophy, or possibly with some other equally noble motive at heart, we had every intention of writing at least one item in todays column that would sound a spiritual note. We had thought that probably a very fine item indeed of a high-toned character would be forthcoming out of last Monday nights meeting of the USO Forum Club. The sub ject was Honesty" and lot of high-minded GIs and GSO's were present. Honesty, however, obliges us to inform you that it was at that very meeting where we aban- doned for the time-being all con- cern with spiritual, or other world ly things.
 Surprisingly, it was the discovery of something other worldly Gin one sense) that brought about our spiritual decline. Yes, they certainly were OUT OF THIS WORLD that's what those VENISON HAM BURGERS were that Jen and Hank Harmon served us as re- treatments that night. Of all the many delicious things we've eaten in our 19 months in Alaska, we place them at the very topl We're sure our descriptive powers are in adequate to come even close to doing them justice, so we'll resist the temptation of at least trying.
