 direct relation to the servicemen
 for whom it was done. Nevertheless | it's about time we mentioned some GI. by name. And we certainly have a good excuse to name at least one, for he has played a major role in the recent improving of the appearance of the clubhouse. When we were faced with big and painstaking job in the making of slip-covers for the lounge, we naturally had only one fellow in mind as the man to get if his officers could allow him time off from his regular work. He was genial, widely-popular Chuck Kist- ner, Soldier from Detroit, Michigan, the local Port Company's expert tailor and long a good friend of the USO.
 The consent was obtained; and immediately Chuck started in on the job, teaming up with Jess Merritt (and speaking of friends of the USO, they just don't come any better than Jess MerrittD And now the assignment is fin ished and the slip-covers are at last a reality, and thanks to Chuck and Jess the Juneau USO is one more long step nearer its ultimate destiny of looking as at tractive as it ought to look.

intention to give expression to the clubs sense of special appreciation for all that one particular member of the Girls Service Organization has long meant to this USO of ours. Shortly she will be graduating from Juneau High School; and we'd sort of figured that right after commencement would be the ideal time to tell her how much she has meant to us.
 Now somebody else has said in actions concerning her all that we could have said in words-and much more eloquently, tool, By selecting Pat Fleek as their USO May Queen for 1945 the servicemen for whom the club exists have ex- pressed themselves with greater effectiveness than anyone else could have done on their. behalf.
 In our opinion, one of the incest things about Pats selection is that it has no relation to any particular event in her relationship to the club. She hasn't done anything extraordinary in the recent life of the club or the town to merit sudden recognition. Just day after day, week in and week out, she has been unfailingly, steadily active in making this a more cheerful and friendlier place for our men And in meeting new fellows (during those early minutes of the ac- 1 quaintance when men might be

Mr.. Knight stated that in the

stenographers are needed, and
that the army here, and local
contractors are acutely in need

answered the question himself.
Il have been informed there are
a good many able-bodied men in
Key West who are not working.

that the war is not over yet, and
that we at home are still called

STRIPPED OF
PARTS FOUND
STOLEN MACHINE RECOVER
ED IN MANcRovEs NEAR
HEAD OF ISLAND QUITE
RECENTLY

d. II. Pigott's motorcycle ran
out of gasoline while he was out
riding on it, so he started to push
it to his home at 400 SimLnton
street.
The motorcycle weighed about
800 pounds, SO the task of push
ing it became too much in going
up the incline on Eaton street,
between William and Elizabeth,
and he left it at the curbing to
go get his brother to help push.
When he returned, with his broth
er, half an hour later, the motor
cycle was gone.
That was at 2:30 a. m. July Is,
and nothing further was heard
about the motorcycle until Cap
tain John Walker reported to
Fred o. Eberhardt, local repre-
sentative of the Motor Vehicle
Commission, that he had found
the remnants of a motorcycle in
the mangroves near the head of
the island.
Mr.. Eberhardt accompanied
Captain Walker to the mangroves
and found that the motorcycle had
been dismantled. The license plate
was left on it, and it was from
the plate that the ownership was
determined. Mr.. Pigott told Mr.
Eberhardt that it would cost
about $500 to replace the parts
that had been stolen.
