. . . USO LIBRARY

USO LIBRARY
 Although our Club Library gets quite steady use from a number cf the fellows these days, it con- tinues to surprise the staff that this number is not larger. A lot Of excellent books are included in the total of scme 900 volumes now on the shelves; and many are recent publications Perhaps the fault lies ..lainly with us--it may we'll be that we have failed to do the right kind of a job of "salesniansnlp
 Shortly we expect to have much better arrangement of the books in their different class.Jicatio,ls. as royels, poetry, plays, short stories, reference books, etc. Of course we will continue the current practice of keeping separate on the top of the showcase in the lounge the attest publications, together with a few standard works.
 Last week the club received it's most recent shipment of new books sent each month from USO Ma tjonal Headquarters in New York. Inevitably these lists are varied end evidence thoughtful selection rom among the many available volumes. For example, the six just leceived are Edna Ferber's Great Son. Lin Yutang's The Vigil of q Natipn,1 Bennett Ccrf's Try and Stop Me- Van Wyck Brooks The World of Washington Irving" :" Green Hazard by Manning Coles, and Remembered Death by Agatha Christie
 It is the practice to restrict the Use of these new books to the club house for one week Thereafter they may be borrowed (wIthout charge) by any man, or by a GSO member, Tor 10-day period.
 Some interesting autographed volumes are to be found in this library. You will find the signatures, among others, of Carl Sandburg, Thornton Wilder, Stephen Vincent Benet. and Gluyas Williams tthe artist). Tn several instances the authors have written rather un- usual inscriptions 'n their own handwriting.
 Anyone coming regularly to the USO and not making use of the library is missing real treat.
 EASTER SERVICE
 A service in o5sel vance of Easter vill be held in the USO on Sunday right at 9:15, It will be led by Brigadier Chester Taylor of the Salvation Army. The special music will be furnished by the Salvation Army, also, which means that it will be full of vitality and con- tageous enthusiasm
 Certainly it is stating the obvious to say that if ever there was a Lme when the whole world needed the Easter message. that time is the Spring of l945! During recent months tfor various reasons) we lave not been holding religious services at the USO on Sunday nights. But this coming Sunday night we most assuredly do intend to observe Easter down here.
