Alaskan Department
Remedies Travel Pay
Situation
Headquarters, Alaskan Depart-1
ment—Recognizing the undue fi-'
nancial burden placed upon sol
diers residing in Alaska, as a re-1
suit of the difference between the j
travel pay authorized by Army,
Regulations and the cheapest rate j
of commercial travel in the Terri- j
tory, the Alaskan Department has
taken positive steps to remedy the
situation.
The rate of travel pay cannot
be increased, but the Command
ing General of the Alaskan De
partment has authorized station
commanders to grant authority to
discharged personnel residing in
Alaska to travel from the place of
discharge to the airfield nearest
their homes, provide such trans
portation is available and such
fields are served by military air
craft, and provided further that
travel of discharged personnel
does not displace military person
nel traveling under orders.

Philippines “Seaside
Cabaret” Mecca For
Honky-Tonk Seekers
By CLIFTON B. WILLIAMS
A Coast Guard Combat
Corresponded
I SOMEWHERE IN THE PHIL
IPPINES (Special)—One of the
more interesting misnomers in
these parts is a “dime a dance”
spot called “Seaside Cabaret.”
Paradoxically, it is not on the
seaside, nor is it a cabaret in the
strict sense. Its location is several
hundred yards from the edge of a
lagoon in the middle of the resi
dential district of a small town.
Built on stilts, roofed with cor
rugated steel, and having no sides, I
its unpretentiousness is far ex- j
ceeded by its popularity. At the
door sits the ticket vendor who
sells the pasteboards at 25 centa
vos (12V& cents) each.
Inside, gasoline lanterns flicker
and cast weird shadows about the
room. The hostesses sit around the
edge of the dance floor, smiling.
Only one couple at a time is per
mitted to dance. This makes for
keen competition as the local jit
terbugs have to scramble at the j
start of each set.
Once a partner is selected, the
music begins. This is supplied by
a three-piece “orchestra” seated
on a balcony at one end of the
building. There are a violin, saxo
phone, and drums. All tunes are
native, and sound a bit Spanish.
This goes on for 5 or 6 minutes
at which time the music stops, the'
partners bow to each other and
retire to the sidelines. Soon a new
couple is on the floor.
