ARMY AIR FORCES TO
 BE REDUCED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The Army Air Forces, hoping to get along with 100000 men when peace time conditions permit, will reduce from the present strength of 2,400, ,00O to 100000 within 12 months.
 Maj. Gen. Fred L. Anderson dis closed this in a radio address and added that the AAF is screening en- listed men with more than 75 dis charge points and WACS with more than 43 out of units intended fol overseas service, plus enlisted per connel 37 or older
 The AAF will replace high-point men overseas with loW-point mer and volunteers. AS soon as over- seas units are reduced to postwar strength, a rotation system will limit overseas duty to two years oi less, Anderson said.

ITS .ALWAyS FAIR WEATHER WHEN

The USO picnic, postponed for a mere 21 days because of rain, will be held on Treadwell Beach in Douglas, on Saturday night, Aug. 25 We'll be leaving the USO at 7;30, sharp.
 The weather that night will be clear, with humidity exactly as you most like it and with the tempera- ture just slightly on the chilly side, ideal for picnic on beach be- side a fire. Overhead therell be lots of stars and 9 brilliant moon. QnaSmuch as there already has been one full moon hereabouts this week it is just possible that it will not prove feasible to secure that particular feature for the party on Saturday; but there will be at least an appropriate frac- tional part of the moon wholly visible from the beach throughout the picnic)
 Sounds DEFINITE, doesn't it? Haven't left any doubt in anyone s mind, have we? It sure gives us a lift just to dictate this sort of LY-POSITIVELY para graph,-so we can imagine how you'll feel when you see it in print! You understand, of course, we aren' risking our reputation as a prophet by any reliance on any such routine data as might be available through Weather Bureau channels. No sir, not so long as we hold paid-up subscription to our favorite Astrology magazine and possess the strength to operate our ouija board (that same ouija board that predicted the Dewey landslide in November, and two years more of the Japanese war, and 1945 as going to be the driest summer in Gastineau Channel annals.)
 We have just finished reading Your Planet Path to Popularity; and we are well aware that our popularity as weather predictor depends squarely on the planets not letting us down as to Saturday night. We repeat. firmly: The August drought that started yes- terday afternoon will continue without interruption until Sunday morning
 P. S.-If it should happen to rain on Saturday, the picnic will be moved from Treadwell Beach to the Aux Bay Recreation Area

NAMES S-IN-THE- -yyEEK'S-EEWS


 Every week when it comes time to write another USO column we find cur memory full of the names of servicemen and Girls Service Organization members and other friends of the club who rate men, ton for one special reason or an- other.
 This past week has proven no ex- ception to this general experience. And so today we have a lot of names to report upon,-many more than the available space for the column will permit. Here are just a few of them: First of all, it is a MUST that we refer, at least briefly, to Shirley Kleweno, who went south to college last week and whose departure leaves gap in the ranks of the very truest friends of the USO, possessing as she does a gift for friendliness that has been of incalculable benefit to the club during the past year. ! And there arc the members of the new GSO Council who con- clusively established the soundness of their collective judgement when they selected as their officers for the next six months Ruth Brooks Grom Oak Park, Ill) as President; the Shaw Twins (Jean and Mary, from East Providence, R. I.) as Vice-Presidents, and Sally Olson (formerly of Minneapolis, Minn.) as Secretary.
 And there is that popular couple, Lee Lucas and his lovely bride, the former Eleanor Mccormack, who are being welcomed back for a part of Lees furlough in his home here.
 And, once again speaking col lectively, there is the entire group of CTS and GSO's who comprised the cast of Friday nights intrigu- { ing radio show, Will You Walk Into My Parlor?" doing a first class job of it with substantially no chance for rehearsal, and leav- ing the club deeply in debt to Betty Seymour, Art Fisher, Jack Odenwald, Leslie Swanson and Gas ! usual, especially to- Actor-DirectQr Richard Peter.

 As chairman of the clubs Ser vicemen's Council for more than two years, and as a musician, and in many other ways, Hi has re- peatedly proven himself loyal friend of our USO.
