dently FRENCHY’s round-cake experiment

ANDY, a pretty fair bass-plucker, was
offered a job not long ago. He was
considered hired but dog-gone it, I
haven’t seen him beating out any notes
with the band. Could it be that shuffle
board keeps him busy?
Looks like ole "Hammerhead" OAMACHE felt
ill effects from the DOLL HOUSE esca
pade, He has been on the binnacle list
for a few days with headaches and other
complications. Sorry we had to-work him
so hard. Chief MUISHINE RMC,- saysK-he
gets a large charge at least once a day.
Seems his trousers and chair are great
for generating static electricity. Has
anybody seen "Big Bad JOHNS" 1—A card??
If you find it, hang on to it, and if
you keep it long enough, JOHN won * t need
to go on a diet, Can»t say that we are
not up to date - we now have an assem-*
bly line for hair cuts. Not a bad set
up really, everybody gets a haircut the
same day, and everyone is due- the same
day..., compliments of the Bering Bar
bers ASSN. We are happy and proud that
BUFFINGTON, L.R., RMSN, was selected
to play for the ADAK ALL-STARS. Good

Many people who display good manners at
home and at work, demonstrate it poorly
in driving and walking. Basically, vio
lations such as failing to give the right
of way, passing on hills and curves,fail-a
ing to signal and speeding constitute badW
motor manners, and are a threat to self
preservation on the highways. Let’s show
others a fair sample of good motor mann
ers. It may save your LIFE! Mil
