SEES IMPROVEMENT
i
The safety officer of NAVSTA Adak
has just promulgated a Industrial and
Motor Vehicle Accident Summary for 1960
which shows considerable improvement
over 1959 and an important decrease in
accident frequency aboard the station.
The frequency rate for 1959 was 1.67
while in 1960 the rate was 0.97.
According to the Safety Officer, Mr.
John L. Quinn this is the lowest fre
quency rate attained by the station in
the past six years.
The Motor Vehicle Accident Summary
shows that accident costs alone were
reduced by 43% while frequency in motor
vehicle accidents was cut by 26%. All
hands are to be congratulated and urg
ed to keep up the good work.
The station worked 1,559,413 conse
cutive man hours without a lost time
accident in 1960. Everyone can be
justifiably proud of this achievement.
Through the united effort of all hands
we can establish an even better record
in 1961.

MOMORANDUM
} "The American people have a proud
tradition of generosity on behalf of
friends across the seas. In recent
years this tradition has been enhanced
by gifts to three private internation
al agencies combined in the Federal
Service Joint Crusades
Crusade for Freedom (Radio Free Eur
ope Fund)
The American-Korean Foundation
CARE, Inc.
These international goodwill agen
cies will again solicit contributions
from Federal, civilian and military '
personnel in the early part of 1961.
Their appeal in the United States.will
be made concurrently with the Federal
Service Compaign for the National
Health Agencies.
I commend their appeals to you,
s/Dwight D, Eisenhower •
EiT'S CORNER
Recognition should be given each man,
wjho helped clear Adak, our snow
covered land*
The boys who drove D-8’s, snow plows,
;and blowers while we were fast asleep,
were the PUBLIC WORKS crew, who kept
£ on their feet.
Night and day they cleared the roads
!i and runways,
So Adakians could provide a normal
workday.
So upon their brow, we’d like to extend
A well-done and THANKS to the hard
working men.
