SUNDAY NIGHTS AT SEVEN

Those who love really fine music (and they are many among our men and girls) will have the op- portunity hereafter to enjoy it to- gether in the USO on Sunday nights at o'clock.
 Under the leadership of Soldiers John Fischer and c. A. Urfer, members of the local Port Con- pany from Chicago, H., and csc girls Grace Berg and Ruth Brooks, this series of musical programs will be inaugurated this coming Sun day night (June 10) In general the series will involve the presen- tation of the best of recorded music. But the committee has some special features in mind which it is confident will prevent these programs from becoming just some more of the sterotyped so- called musical appreciation even- ings."

memberships, after having determ- ined that the Servicemen's Council approves of the move. He is aware that among the present GSO mem bers there is sincere difference of opinion as to it's merits. Accord ingly. he feels he must rely upon his own conviction that if these girls join as a group now they will be much happier in their member ships, and they will serve the USO much more usefully, than if they join it one at a time, every couple of months during the balance oi the year.
 Needless to state, it is to be un- derstood that no girl may become a Junior member if her parents object to her doing SOL
 The Director strongly believes that the girls in this particular group are excellent prospects as conscientious and helpful full-time USO members. If his. judgment is sound as to their true character, and if the leadership within the club proves to be as intelligent and as considerate toward them as 1t ought to be, this experiment should work out to the satisfaction of everyone concerned. If the experi- ment is not successful, he is con- vinced that the fault will be his, not that of the girls.

STANDARD OIL HAS RECORD IN WEST ON
 100 OCTAVE GAS

Standard of California has become the first western oil company to produce its one billionth gallon of 100 octane gasoline, it is announced by President H. D. Collier.
 One billion gallons of this fuel, it is estimated, would fuel more than 22,000 B-29 Superforts for trip around the world under average cir cumstances.
 Indicative of the vast strides in production. is the fact that just one refinery unit now turns out daily nearly five times the amount of 100 octane Standard produced in the entire year of 1887 when quantity output began.
 Both the Richmond and Fl Se- gundo refineries are making 100 octane gasoline.

 On the back of the California owned son of the great Sea Biscuit will be Georgie Woolf, known to the race track crowd as the Ice man." The 36-year-old Canadian born jockey has ridden in eight der bies, dating back to 1882. He has never been closer than second.

INNOVATION

When you try an experiment there is always the chance that you may find you've made a mistake No doubt, it's generally safer and it certainly is more comfortable to stick to the old routine-at least you'll know what to expect and you won't suffer any unanticipated shocks.
 On the other hand, if you're never anything but conservative, you may well be missing something very fine, without ever realizing it.
 All of which philosophizing is by way of introduction to the an- nouncement today of. the setting up of a new class of membership in our USO's Girls Service Or ganization. Up to now, through out the two-and-a-h -half-years of the existence of the club, girl has been required to have reached her seventeenth birthday bfore becom- ing eligible to join. And there has been only single class of member ship, no matter what her age.
 Today it is announced that "Ju- nior Memberships" are being es- tablished in order to make immed- lately eligible (so far as age is concerned any girl who will have become IT by the end of 1945 Under this plan the activity of each Junior member and the value of her contribution to the welfare of the USO during that period will be carefully considered at the time of her 17th birthday; and she will not be invited to continue as a member, nor will she receive USO pin, if it is then felt that she has been only superficially interested in the club and has been motivated primarily by self-interest.

program of hiking. Watch for it.
 As everyone knows, there are a lot of interesting spots around Ju- neau that are well worth visiting. The club has long sponsored sight seeing trips by bicycle or via station wagon. But, we're frank to admit, almost nothing has been done to encourage hiking.
 How come? We don't quite know. Maybe we're just plain lazy without recognizing the fact. If so, it's really shame, what with these nearby mountains that are not difficult to climb and afford such beautiful views. Certainly we haven't the justification that the extremely corpulent G. K.

FAR EAST HOLDS

 EDITOR V0UCHES
China Newsman Tells Graduates Pages of Asia
 Book Just Now Opening

COLUMBIA, Mo, June '. = The future destiny of this country lies in the Pacific and the countries of the Orient, John B. Powell, former editor of the China Weekly Review told graduating students at the Uni versity of Missouri commencement exercises today.
 Powell, who lost most of both feet in Jap prison camp, was grad uated from the University in 1910.
 The turning of the tide of war from the Atlantic to the Pacific has compelled us to concentrate our at tention upon section of the earth's surface which heretofore has been a closed book to most Americans, he asserted, but while unknown to most of us it is part of the world which is likely to exert profound influence upon the future of our na- tion."
 Powell said that few Americans realized that fighting in far-off Malay would cut off most of this nations tin supply and said it was net until the start. of the war in the Orient that we realized how much We depended upon the Far East for essential supplies for our industries, the arts and everyday household economy.
 T thing that if we had concen- trated more of our thought upon Asia and developments in that quar- ter of the globe that the present world war might have been avoided" !" Powell continued No one of any intelligence any longer disputes the fact that World War II actually started in 1881 when Japan violated the Washington Conference Treaties and the League of Nations Covenant ard invaded Chinas Manchurian provinces
 Three countries of the Orient will make heavy demands on the Unit1d States after the war" Powell predicted. They are China, Rus sian Siberia and British India. Tens Of millions of intelligent Asiatic leaders in every Far Eastern coun- try will in the future center their

TREK BACK TO
 LINES-STORY OF
 WINGED BOOT

St. Louis, Mo, Feb. 1.-(UP)-A winged silver boot adorns the blouse pocket of a St. Louis lieutenant but he doesn't need the covieted emblem to remind him of th0 hunted weeks he spent trying to reach American-held territory from behind the German lines.
 It Eugene Sydlowski, 2, was listed as missing in action when his Flying Fortress failed to return from a combat mission. Mean- while, the lieutenant was not miss- ing any action; in fact, he said, he was getting too much of 1t.
 Sydlowski, bombardier, was on his second mission over Ger many when two engines were knocked out by flak. The bomber dropped out of formation and limped for home. escorted by Mus tang fighters. AS 1t reached the Rhine river, the No. l engine quit and the crew bailed out.
 Injured on Landing
 Landing on a mountainside near Belfort, Sydlowski suffered brok- en toe and numerous bruises. He hid few hours in wood but was captured by Germans. Just how he escaped from his captors, along with other details of the homeward hike are curtained by military secrecy.
 Sydlowski made his way to members of the French under ground who helped him to hide and gave him clothing and a forged passport. From there the escape route lay through mountain foxholes lined with snow, and food that was mostly potatoes and raw bacon.
 Once Sydlowski and con- panion hid between American and German lines, dodging shells from both sides until they were able to slip through to the American troops
 Touching the embroidered boot unofficial award to men of the 9th Air Force who return to their own lines after being shot down in enemy territory-Lt. Sydlowski said, Every Frenchman is a sol dier, from five years old on up. They were very happy to see the Americans come. They were glad to do what they could to help us"
 SydloWski said a nurse working with the underground tended his foot and taught him a few French phrases using a book given her by an American soldier in 1918.
 In addition to the winged boot, It. SydloWski wears the Purple Heart and the Presidential Unit Citation.

LABOR RELATIONS
 BILL FORMULATED
Public Hearing Set for DOnnelly Gives Approval
 Next Tuesday; Father

Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly, director of the Waterbury Diocesan Labor Institute last night declared himself in favor of the enactment of state labor relations act for Connecticut, at a meeting held at the Elton.
 The Committee on Labor of the Connecticut General Assembly will hold public hearing on proposed state labor relations act in the sen ate chamber, Hartford, next Tues day, Feb. 6. at 2 p. m. The meeting will be attended by members of the Waterbury A. F. l.. and c. I. O. The measure is sponsored by the Con- necticut Federation of Labor.
 Members of the Labor Institute present at last nights meeting also voted to endorse a resolution to be sent to the members of the Gen. eral Assembly urging adoption of the labor measure.
 The resolution, stating that such legislation has been enacted in New York, Rhode Island and Massachu- sets, declares that the labor bill Twill be an effective instrument in the promotion of good relations be- tween employers and materially aid in making real postwar proS- perity for Connecticut"
 Tt is deplorable that this legisla- ton has been pushed around in this highly industrialized state," Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly declared at last nights meeting. He pointed out that this is the fourth time in eight years that such a bill, backed by both the CIO and AFL. has been introduced into the legislature.

PLAN SCHOOL FOR FINANCE OFFICERS
U. of C. to Arrange Special Course for Five-Day
 Session

 The school would be similar to that held last summer at the uni- versity for assessing officials Of the state. It would extend over a per- iod of five days and offer a wide range of topics with lectures planned by well-known civic and state fig- urea prominent in the world of fi- nance.
 Tn an effort to keep abreast of current legislation of interest to Connecticut municipalities and towns Director of Finance Robert Duffy of Hartford was directed to procure copies of bills introduced at the current session in which the association members would be in- tereSted. It is hoped to have di- gest made of the same in time for the organizations spring meeting, which is now tentatively scheduled to be held on March IA.
 Professor Joseph Loughlin of the U. of Connecticut attended yester- days meeting and outlined num- her of subjects that might be given at such a course as is planned He also explained how last summers school for assessors functioned.
 Among the many topics that were suggested as pertinent to such a school were: municipal budget-mak- ing and control; public works pro- gramming; auditing of municipal accounts; demonstration of the use of business machines in municipal accounting: municipal funds; col- lection of municipal taxes; munich pal debt administration; tax exemp- tions: municipal insurance prac- tices: handling payroll procedures: handling deposits of municipal funds: public relations of the fiscal oMcerS; claSsifcations of revenues and expenditures; municipal re- ports; municipal pension systems; purchasing and stores; review of 1045 legislation pertaining to mu- nicipal finance.
