Open House,
 US0 Tonight

It's open house tonight at the USO.
 During the past two days it has been open house in more than 1000 USO clubs scattered over North and South America and in the Philippines.
 Tonight, starting at 9:15 o'clock the Juneau Club will have it's gop- portunity to play host to it's many local friends with refreshments and entertainment.
 This is strictly a family party, " pointed out Zach Gordon, local di- rector today. But ours is very big family. For just about every body in Juneau and Douglas al- ways has seemed to be interested in the club and eager to help it in it's efforts to make life happier for the servicemen. We wish everyone would drop in for at least few minutes this evening. Refreshments will be served; and there'll be some | excellent entertainment And the whole affair will be very informal. Do come
 It was exactly five years ago to- day that the national USO came into being. On February 4, 194l the new organization received through President Roosevelt it's mandate from the American people to in- stitute and operate recreational and welfare program for all ser vicemen, regardless of race, color or creed. Six agencies-The YMCA the National Catholic Community Service, the National Jewish Well fare Board, the YWCA, The Sal vation Army and the National Travellers Aid Society-jo joined hands that day to make the USO possible The past five years have recorded the success of, their efforts.

DEANS DISCUSS
 FIRE FIGHTING
 IN ELDER DAYS
Sixty one Year Old De- partmeni 10 Stdge 4Ofh
 Firemen's Ball

(FirSt of Series on the Early HtS- tory ot tue Juneau Volunteer Fire i DepdrtnlenD
 The Fortieth Annual Fireman's Ball, which will be held on February g, brings back many memories to Juneau oldtimers who served on previous Volunteer Fire Departments in the community.
 Although the present Juneau Fire Department dates back to 1911 when the volunteer group was re- organized upon an order of Mayor Emery Valentine. ti-c history Of volunteer fire department in Ju- neau began in 1885; a year after Ju- neau was settled.
 The deans of the oldtime Juneau firemen are Charles Goldstein, who on the original volunteer organiza- 1 tion in 1885, and Lockie MacKinnon, who first served with the local fire men in 1888. Other old-timers of this period whom they recall were: Jim Jorgensen, Harry Vert, Percy Pond, Lloyd Winter, William Gold stein, Ed Decker and B. M. Beh- rends, who was secretary of the group.
 In 1885, states Goldstein, Juneau was a rambling, waterfront town with a population of only about 400. There was no water system at that time and a hand-drawn hose cart and hand pump and a bucket bri- gade were the only protection used to combat conflagrations, usually caused by overloaded stoves and chimneys. When fire occurred, a bell was rung and the entire popula- tion of the community turned out to fight the flames. There were no bad fires in the very early history of Juneau, says Goldstein, for the reason that buildings were scatter ed and oil was nos used for fuel.
 MT. MacKinnon recalls ts.at the greatest improvement in fire fight ing in those early days was when Dick Lewis, Sr., built the first water system for Juneau, in about 1888. The source of the water was the spring on Star Hill which today still serves a number of Juneau residents. The modern water system gave vol unteer firemen sufficient hose pres sure to battle bad fire.
 MT. MacKinnon remembers the fire in the early 1890s which de- troyed the old Federal Court House, which stood at the same location as the present building Bremen ran with the hose up the hill to the court house, only to discover they had carried the wrong end of the hose and it was necessary to re- verse the entire line. But at that, says Lockie, there were few bad fires, and the volunteer fremen were usually able to squelch the flames.
 MT. Goldstein and MT. MacKinnon take considerable pride in their early association with the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department and vouch for the fact that local volunteer fire-fighting organiza- ton has been in existence for over 61 years.

VETERANS' GUIDE By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

life, 30-year payment life, and 20- year payment life. If you convert to the ordinary life, premiums will be payable for the rest of your life; if to the 30-pay life. you will have to pay premiums (slightly higher for 30 years; and if to the 20-pay life. youll only have to pay prem :ums Chigher stilD for 20 years, at which time the policy will be paid up.
 Here's another insurance query, from ex-WAVE Jane C., Oakland: will you please tell me exactly how go about converting my term pol icy to a regular National Service Life Insurance Policy?"
 Just a matter of filling out one of those dreary forms we veterans know so much about. This time it's Veterans Administration form 358. You should be able to get one at any VA regional office Gin your case, the one in San Francisco, or through any VA contact representative. There are plenty of these guys float ing around the country They can help you.
 R. C., Tonawanda, N. Y, asks: Would it be possible to have my insurance premiums deducted each month from the pension am get ting? It sure would save me a flock of headaches"
 That's a smart idea, R. G. I've mentioned it before and I'm glad you wrote about it. Yes, you can have those premiums deducted from your pension eff the pension is big enough) Another form takes care of it. This one is VA Form 887. You can get it at the same place that Form 35S is available, and it shouldnt take more than moment to complete.
 Numerous recent letters have ask ed for the scoop on this conversion of National Service Life term" in- surance. One sentence which gets into every answer I send out goes like this: Convert that term insur- ance just as soon as you can; you can do it while you're still in the service. and the sooner you do it. the cheaper it will be in the long run

Cpl A. T., somewhere in Japan, asks this question, and it seems to fit in well with the one above.
 How long after I bought my Ma permanent forms? And how many tional Service Life Insurance term policy must I convert it to one of the permanent forms are there?"
 Your term policy was issued for a five-year term. An Act of Con- gress extended the five years to eight. So you'll have to convert your present term policy to permanent form within eight years after you took it out.
 The answer to your second ques- tion is - three. They are: ordinary

Question from Mrs. G. L. H., oi Dawson, Georgia: My husband, whc served 9 months in the Army, has kept his National Service Life In surance in force by paying the premiums every month. But we have never resolved a policy to prove that my husband has the insurance. Can you tell me how to get one?"
 No actual insurance policy is is- sued for National Service Life term insurance, which is what your hus- band bought in the Army. A Ger tificate of Insurance should, how ever, have been sent to you at the time, or shortly after, your hus- band took out his term insurance if you are the beneficiary.
 If you didn't get that Certificate of Insurance, write the Director o1 Insurance, Veterans Administration Washington, 25, D. C., and ask fol one.
 When your husband converts his term insurance to one of the three permanent forms of National Life Insurance, he will then get an act ual policy.

 The ''iittle black dress" famed because it is chic, correct and practical, is for some women a passport into oblivion; for others Q show window which adyertises good looks.
 If you want your little black dress to put you across, don't uy 1t because it is safe" When you re safe" in one, you run the risk of looking like everyone else. Choose it, rather, as a backdrop for drama, and for that purpose search until you find the est black dress you can afford.
 In choosing it, remember it will pare down your silhouette, but mag nify defects. Where there are figure faults to consider, say hip or thigh bulges or a too-bosorny look, pick a black dress which offers the needed cainouaging aids. A draped skirt or 8 dress with a peplum will help blur the hip defects which black seems to sharpen. Untethered yokes and deepened armholes help to minimize a top-heavy figure.
 Remember, in choosing black, the best neckline for dramatic effects and for accessory switches of jewelry and neckwear is what is called the 'jewelry" neckline. This is round and cut neither too high nor too low.
