This week the "Chaplain^s Corner is
turned over to the Adak Christian
Fellowship. This article is written
by Ron Jernigan, SK2,
Why don't you come to the Adak
Christian Fellowship meeting Sunday
Evening? .
It all started about eight years
ago with a dental officer and sever
al other Christians. They then met
in the different quarters for Bible
stvcTy and Christian fellowship on
Sunday and Wednesday evenings.
Today the Adak Christian Fellow
ship meets in the Religious Educat
ion building on Sunday evenings at
j930. There is prayer, Bible study,
and good old fashioned gospel sing
ing all with a Christian atmosphere.
Our- Chaplain shares our plywood
pulpit with many fine laymen speakers.
Once a month,' usually on tr^e sec*
ond Sunday, we have a mptiqn picture
with a real spiritual message.
What was the name again? Adak Christ
ian Fellowship.
Where? Religious Education Building.
Who? Anyone and everyone is extended
the right hand of fellowship. So you
fellows up in the barracks come on
over, and you with the family, bring
them along.
Why? For Fellowship in the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.

Maybe most of them are retired now,
but a lot of service old-timers remem
ber when the Exchange Service was ai
modest little operation where a man
could find tobacco, toiletries, and
maybe such items as cameras and film
at "fringe benefit” prices. It was
handy to have around-saved;you a hike
into town.
Today, marking its *5th birthday-a
ripe retirement age-the Exchange Is
still handy to have around. It has no
plans to retire,but if it did service
men everywhere would awake to a realiz
ation of how well'it works for them,at
home or overseas, on the beach or a
float. It has grown big-not only as a
merchandising operation but as a morale
factor for all people in the Armed
Forces and their dependents. 1
How do we show our appreciation of
this outstanding service benefit? We
would do it a disservice-perhaps a
crippling one-if we thought .that that
the more money we spent at our Exchange
in itself helped it to flourish.
If that were so, if the volume of
its business decided its state of
health, we could buy its counters bare
for our civilian friends and neighbors.
But if we did, ultimately the Ex
change, as a threat to civilian merch
ants, would suffer for it by restrict
ive legislation.
Morale, as one overseas command Ex—
change chief observed recently, is
Jnany things to many people*
