SCI KNOTT IS PROMOTED ON
 BATTLEFIELD
Former American Ledeuer Given Commission
 During Combat

FORT WORTH, Feb. 8.-Jack Knott's Texas friends figure the Germans tried to shove him around in hurry.
 Sgt. Knott, former Texas and American League pitcher, recently was jumped to a lieutenant in the middle Of the bulge battle in Bel gium.
 Writes Elem R. Hall, sports editor of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
 Jack, who came off a West Texas farm in 1926 to become a rookie with Dallas, never did like to be hurried or pushed around. Although he's big and strong as a young horse, Knott never caused any trouble. He was just good-natured, slow-mov- ing fellow-until someone got to showing. Then he could be terrific. They say he bounced few wise guys off the walls of the club house until they found out about Jack
 Hall, who saw service as war correspondent. commented on Knott's promotion:
 Details of exactly what happen ed haven't been revealed, but any soldier who gets battlefield com mission has to do any number of extraordinary things when the chips are down and the pressure is up"
 Sgt. Knott was the first profes- sional baseball player to win a com mission in combate in this war Hall added. Tt is one of the great est tributes that can be paid a sol- dier by his commander.
 Knott, who was born in Dallas in 1907, pitched 332 games in his ten years in the American League, start ing with the St. Louis Browns. He was traded to the Chicago White Sox and ended with Philadelphia Athletics

 Interesting Items for Everybody

| would listen to music so strangely
 haunting as to leave him convinced
 he never again would hear any
 thing to match it's beauty. But last Friday afternoon at the USO we ceased to be quite so confident. A conference had been arranged with Marine Corporal Donald Will Hams. He had arrived; and the club director was ready to begin to interview him concerning the Marine Corps in combat Still keyed up, it was evident that Don con- tinued to be unable to relax, even though he was home on furlough, safely home from TaraWa and Saipan, two of all the worlds most savage man-made hells, And, nat urally, the director was quite ex- cited too, eager in his anticipa- tion to learn of the fighting first hand So it made no difference to either man that just a few feet away a soldier and a High School freshman were about to practice some songs.
 "Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee .' The young girls voice was a silver thread of loveliness: "Ahl I know at last the secret of it all" Qnstantly, the two men at the desk stopped their conversational The Sergeant's warm deep baritone joined her soprano: ". All the longing, seeking, striv- ing, waiting, yearning, The burn ing hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall" Neither man moved a muscle.)
 Blending perfectly, the fresh, young soprano voice and the ma ture, vibrant baritone sang on to the end.
 'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living! For it is love alone that rules for aye!"
 (Neither man could remember even breathing for the past few minutes. They did not speak. They simply looked at each ether, won dering if they had actually heard arightD
 Frankly we're sentimental. We would like to believe that life, this life that undeniably possesses it's moments of sweet mystery, was engaged in doing a bit of com pensating that afternoon. Involved for more than two years in the cruel business of waging war, this Marine Corporal had been obliged to forego utterly all those precious things that young Lois Hared's singing represented, = gentleness, hopefulness, youthful beauty. We would like to believe, we repeat, that life tried quickly in some measure to make up that lcss,-and it would not surprise us to discover that in some unfathon- able manner Friday afternoons practice duet of Lois Hared and Sgt. Bill Weaver created something mysteriously beautiful beyond any thing either or both will ever do again.
 Be that as it may, Don Williams; and Zach Gordon will tell you that they were richly blessed that slay at the USO in one of the strarta, and lovely lnterludes of their lives.

Note that this item is not en- titled "Goodby To Margaret Clark The fact is that we continue to hope she will suddenly change her mind about leaving Juneau though we realize that this is wish ful thinking on our part.
 At the Anniversary Banquet on Saturday it was Margaret's assign ment to speak on behalf of the Girls Service Organization, as one of it's o-presidents. That assign ment was met as we knew it would be,-faithfully, skillfully and with a jolly spirit that won everybody at the party and got the program off to fine start. Our staff is grate- full to her and proud of her.
 For more than two years now, Margaret's genial friendliness and her unfailingly sunny disposition have played notable part in mak- ing our USO more attractive. We state the obvious in saying that during her absence her place will not be filled.
 We wish her every happiness while she is gone At the same time, we're hoping she'll not be satisfied to remain away more than just few weeks.

 It was especially gratifying to have such generous cooperation late that afternoon from a number of friends (some were new friends to the Juneau USO. When it was learned that a group of Army Air Corps men had arrived in town and probably would like to attend our party, Mrs. Neill of the AWVS volunteered to find sponsors for their invitations. Because Of her interest, these fellows became the guests of herself. Senator and Mrs, Andrew Gundersen, Senator How ard Lyng, Mrs. Bess Cross, Mrs. Charles Warner, Archie Betts, Wallis George and Harry Lucas,- as a result these servicemen enjoy ed more pleasant evening and we had nicer banquet.

MERCHANTS ADVISE
MORNING SHOPPING
TO AVOID CROWDS

Ceta il merchants yesterday,
while discussing Christmas shop
ping to a reporter of the Star, stat
ed that most people are passing
up the best time of day for leisure
ly, uncrowded service in the stores.
One merchant said, ''From the
time we open until noon most Gus
toners can command Individual
attention and select their purchases
with ample time and choice"
Another merchant stated, GAS
Christmas draws nearer the con-
venience of before noon shopping
should appeal to customers who
like to avoid crowds and enlist
the assistance of store people in
their selection"
Still another retailer remarked,
'Stocks diminish as Christmas
draws nearer in the more preferred
times; thus, the wise shopper will
shop early in the early part Of the
day.
Most stores, it was observed, now
have underway Christmas displays
awaiting the more colorful accent
of the street lighting.
