Not editorially- speaking, you understand; we're afraid that such an accomplishment in the realm of plastic surgery, though desirable, is probably hope less No, what we are referring to is the new face of the USO club house itself
 Next Thursday, by which date we expect the lifting to be completed, we'll tell you all about 1t in the column. At the same time we'll try to give adequate voice to our appreciation to Major Wagner and his men of the Support who are doing the work for us.

 It was a real party that took place, too. There were games, some singing the serving of refreshments, the opening of the gifts. and the cutting of a big birthday-cake. The affair probably will finger in the memories of the five young ladies present. But it's host is certain that nothing about the party could pcs sibly have made upon any or all of them anything like the impress sion left permanently on his heart by those endearing young charms of his adorable guest of honor, | Agnes Hared. and her friends, Donna Lee Gould, Marjorie Kling- bell, Arlyss Likins and Yvonne Swanson.
 It is hardly likely that the Ma tional USO set-up contemplates that birthday parties will be given in any of it's clubhouses by non GIs in honor of non-GSO civilians who are ten years old. But so far as the Juneau USO is concerned, let it be noted right here and now: If anybody will present to us any other equally youthful young ladies even half as charming as our friend Agnes and her gang were on Tues day, we'll be delighted to make the clubhouse available ANY afternoon after school for another birthday party.

 NEW FACES
 That's what we hope to see a lot of around here tonight, NEW FACES. And not only faces that have never been seen before in the USO, = we want to have tht pleasure of looking again at some of those faces that during recent months have put in their appear ances so rarely as to become, fol all practical purposes for most oi cur fellows, brand new.
 Maybe you're wondering: Why worry about new faces when tho Girls Service Organization already has on it's rolls so many GSO-O-C LOVELIES who regularly attend oul activities? A reasonable question that! For the men who have beer in the other Alaskan towns keer telling us how lucky the Juneau USO is in comparison with other places. Of course we are counting on the presence tonight of these loyal friends. But the answer to the question is: When it comes to try ing to get as-much- as-p possible of the-best-available girls or anything else desirable) for our CTS, we're just plain grabby So we aren't going to be satisfied until we've made every effort to get ALL the girls down here to meet our fel- lows. Once the meeting has taken place, it's simply a matter of let ting nature take its course-and we're confident they'll come back. We hope that later on the girls may care to apply to join the GSO. This evening, however, they are invited to the dance without as- suming any obligations at all.
 Tonights music will be by the excellent Servicemen's Band, and we anticipate that more than the usual number of our men will be present. So, if lot of girls, old friends and new, will put in their appearance, the party should be

for a pair Of privates who had Just

buddies, when they were notified OF
their promotions raced to the COM

pair OF stripes. The supply room
was closed-it was late in the day.
They next tagged a bus and went
into nearby Neosho. Mo. They
stopped at one Neosho store-only
one set Of corporals chevrons in
stock. Down the street they went.
stopping in at other stores along
the way. But after combing the
town they still had only one pair
OF chevrons between them. So they
talked 1t over, stepped into tailor
shop and had the stripes sewed to
their sleeves-one on the right
sleeve OF Corporal No. | and the
other on the left sleeve Of Corporal
No. 2. The rest of the evening thew
strolled around the town shoulder to

Swimming or jumping is wonderful

most important. It is far better to
take him half dozen blocks each
day than half dozen miles on Sum
days. Extended walks should not be
undertaken Immediately after meals,
and he should always be taken out
on his leash. II he tends to put on

No Best Doq
Breed State
The Experts

There is no such thing as a best
breed" of dog. That breed is best
which gives YOU what you most like
IT. or expect from a dog.
This is the opinion consensus of
experts associated with the Gaines
Dog Research Center, New York
City, who were polled recently on
this subject.
There are III recognized breeds of
dogs in America segregated into six
distinctive classifcations. sporting
breeds. working breeds. hounds, ter
rlers. toys and transporting breeds.
This is variety enough for anyone to
find exactly what he is looking for.
According to these experts, all one
has to do is to make up his mind
what he particularly wants the dog
for-as pet or companion, as chill
dren's playmate or home guard, as
field worker or special duty dog
and the selection becomes relatively
simple
Purebred VS.. Mongrel?
The experts also agree on another
point. and that is the desirability OF
the purebred dog as against the
mongrel. Blood will tell. they say,
whether in man or dog. You wouldn't
adopt just ANY baby in your home.
Neither is it wise to add ANY old
