lAstaire with whom she had trav- elled entertaining the men over seas her touching explanation about how Always" happened to be- come a song with a special mean ing for her-the description of the terribly wounded men in the hos pitals she had visited. Jeanne's tell ing of these and other war-service experiences was as full of beauty and a heart warming sort of sig nificance as was her singing to us.
 When this war is thing of the past and we spend lot of time remembering our days and nights at the Juneau USO, personally we are going to have inestimably much to be grateful for. Among our most richly rewarding memories will be those of April, 1945, when a girl named Jeanne brought to us her lovely voice and her even lovelier personality.
 SKAGWAY VS. JUNEAU

 This is the fourth time that a team of table tennis players from Skagway has come here for 8 match. The three earlier contests produced high grade of play and keen competition. From the repu- tation of the present visitors and from what we know of our men, it seems a safe prediction that to- morrow nights match will main tain fine tradition Come and see it.

 Interesting Items for Everybody
JEANNE

If ever you become a staff mem- Der of a USO club and have the re- ' sponsibility of arranging entertain ments for your men, be prepared for frequent disappointments-anc an occasional piece of amazing good luck. One of those once-in-a- a-blue- moon bits of happy fortune has just come our way, and we're still busy thanking our lucky stars!
 Last Thursday there walked into the Juneau USO a charming girl from Dallas, Texas. She would be here only a few days. she ex- plained--she had some time on her hands-perhaps she could help at our canteen, or could we think of any other ways she might be use ful to the club? She sang little, she admitted. In fact, she was a professional singer (born Jeanne Bradley, she sang simply as "Jeanne"). It was true also that she had been on several USO- Camp Show tours that had taken her to North Africa, England, France, Iceland and Greenland and to many of the lonely outposts in Northern Canada She hoped soon to go to the South Pacific on an other tour, she said. But at the moment she had no duties and she would be happy if we had any need for her.
 If you were one of those persons fortunate enough to be at the USO on Thursday or Friday night you already know the answer. Yes, we certainly were able to find spot for Jeannes talents She sang many songs for us (several were written and composed by herself and her sister, and she sang them beautifully. But what she brought into our presence was so much more than just naturally lovely and finely-trained voice-for those songs were the expression of the friendship of a woman of excep- tional personal distinction and a rare charm.
 Her stories of her adventures as a Camp Show trouper-her trib- utes to Bing Crosby and Fred

Musical Project
In ReCreafiOnaI
Program Of Mayor

For the first time in the his
tory OF our city, Boston has the
good fortune of having a Mayor
who has the vision to see the
need of including in his Recrea-
tional Program for youth and
adults a musical project for the
cultural entertainment Of all.
Throughout the ages, music has
been the basic and most popular
media of entertainment develop
ed by man.
Boston has always afforded OPP
portunitieS for youth and adults
alike to participate in organized
sports events and special enter
tainment features such as the
Gay Nineties Shows. The inno-
walton of a musical branch of
the city-wide Recreation Pro-
gram has already gained the
enthusiastic response of hun
dreds of boys and girls who at
tended additions for a Boston
Board of Recreation Youth Band
held Saturday at the Pine Bank
Recreation Headquarters on ia
maica Pond.
Mayor Kerrigan has felt the
need for a far reaching musical
program to adequately cover the
many branches Of musical ex-
preston. He has appointed Mr..
Francis Mailer of Roslindale to
organize and direct bands, drum
and bulge corps, orcheStraS and
choral groups which will give an
opportunity to every citizen c.
Boston to express himself
through music. Mayor Kerrigan
is determined that every boy and
girl in the city shall have the OPP
portunity to learn how to play a
musical instrument, and his new
program will make it possible for
these children to receive instrue-
ton by expert musical tutors
who will be chosen not only for
their experience and ability, but
for their genuine interest in Of
fering the youth of Boston a
model musical education.
In the very near future, Mr..
Mailer intends to organize must
cal classes which will give boys
and girls from every district of
the city a well-rounded musical
education.
