CADETTES ARE [
FORMED AS
’ ENTERTAINERS
FT. RICHARDSON, Alaska —
The replacements who have just
arrived from the states and the
^ rotating veterans fresh from the
Aleutians have one thing in com.
mon when they meet in the re
placement battalion at Ft. Rich
ardson. They find themselves in
the same plight experienced by
strangers upon entering a town
for the first time. They don’t
know where to go, what to do,
, nor do they know any girls with
whom they may have a good
time, and what’s more, they are
unlikely to remain here long
enough to form acquaintances.
The entertaining of these men
has been assumed by the Cadefte
Corps, a group of female govem
■* ment employes, who established
their Corps in military style,
having a buck-sergeant-ditrected
company consisting of four cor
poral-led sq(uads. Anticipating
eventual expansion to the
strength of a battalion, the girls
have chosen First Sergeant Edith
McMillan, of Seattle, Wash., a
kindly and silvering woman, to
# serve in the dual role of battal
ion commander and chaperone.
Mrs. McMillan, probably the
most beloved top-kick in the
world, attends all dances, dis
plays a fountain of vigor and
joviality and is neve? Caught sit.
ting one out. One 6? Alaska’s
popular women, she is not only
called ‘‘Mom” by all the fellows
who meet her, but she Is also
“Mom” to the Cadettes, who be
ing far from home themselves,
are not without need of a coun
selor.
Since its first meeting on No
vember 12, 1944, the Corps has
achieved a goal beyond their ex
pectations. Making a trip to an
isolated station, they brought
dancing to men who had gone
without it for months. For
Thanksgiving and all during the
Christmas-New Year holiday
season, they kept constantly busy
visiting the casual Companies,
dining, dancing and caroling
with th^g men.
‘‘Company ‘A’ of the Cadette
Corps was formed in close asso
ciation with the Red Cross,” said
Sgt. Jean Boren of Denver, Colo.
“Its initial intent was to insure
the success of. Saturday night
dances at the post service club,
but since then the program has
expanded to include afternoon
tea-dances each Sunday and Club
Frolics (the G. I. Night Club)
each Tuesday.”

15 WOLVES KILLED
BY TWO FLIERS
Ray Knott and Don Kline, who
have been wolf hunting in the
Teller district, report they have
apparently killed all the maraud
ers in that district, as there have
been no deer reported killed for
some time. Their total kill was
15 wolves, most of which are now
on display at Polet’s. Mr. Knott
and Mr. Klein have now dissolved

tinue in business here, while Don
Kline will leave for the States to
purchase a large plane. He plans
to return and go into business.
The loudest noise the world has
ever heard is believed to have
been the eruption of the volcano
Krakatoa in 1883, heard 3,000
miles away.
