tor of the USO personnel. The
sing-song, along with personal
messages from soldiers to rela-
tives and friends back home, were
recorded during the evening.
From North and East
Most of the boys attending the
party were from the north and
east. Although not many of them
were aware that it was “Sweet-
water night” at the center, they
were highly pleased with the visit
and extended a blanket invitation
to all citizens “to come over to
see us when Sweetwater throws
another party for us.”
Because of the apparent enjoy-
ment the soldiers experienced
from the visit, and because some
of them actually said that Sweet-
water men and women “helped
me forget my homesickness.” a
large crowd is desired for the Sat-
urday night party. The group is
to leave from the Bankhead cafe
at 7 p. m. Everyone who will is
urged to be present. Transporta-
tion will be provided for those
who do not have cars and need a
ride.
'More Than Repaid'
“I guarantee you will be more
than repaid for your trip,” said
Lion President Marshall. “We
had a fine time at the USO center
last Saturday night. I think we
shall have a bigger time this Sat-
urday night. I especially urge all
Lion club members, their wives
and friends to attend the party.”

Rotary club sponsored party last
