The Bornheimers must have' been real
anxious to get on that plane - We
understand Vicki left her purse and
their application for the new Rambler
they were scheduled to pick up in Port
land in their old car at the airport.
Hope everything worked out okay.
The inconveniences caused by having
phones out did not affect everyone but
it would serve to prove one^thing. If
you don’t do your job to ffhe best of
' your ability you can hurt and inconven
ience all who need your services. You
expect your pay on payday - and I irna
i gine you’d scream loud and clear if
they said they didn’t have it ready.
Consider that the next time you're
thinking of putting.off a job which
should be done right then. Procrast
ination spreads like a disease - lets
not let it get started ANYWHERE on Adak.
Those people who say that children
shouldn't be allowed out ofthe.fr yards
are usually not parents but perhaps
they have a dog or two.
LCDR CLAYTON, LCDR KLEIN, LT GRUNA
WALT, LT DOLLEY and LT BE13HER teamed
up to take 20 of Adaks Ptarmigan from
the Tundra last weekend. They flushed
about 10 coveys from the low hills a
round Dagadak..
The crews"Of YTB-401 and 139 have
done a commendable job in 'providing
many recreation trips during the past
few months. With weather conditions
soon to set in such trips will no long
er be possible but there is hope that
they will again be possible next year.
Devoting much of their own off-duty
time in making the trips possible ares

Ross Barker of the Navy Exchange telIf
this bit of his mothers observation of
peoples "Some people treat life like a
slot machine, trying to put in as little
as possible, and always hoping ,o hit
the jackpot."
There aren’t many beautiful days on
Adak left before the winter season sets
in, let’s face it, so Take your color
slides now and enjoy them later when
the snows arrive. Funny thing though,
if you are like me, you are waiting to
see the snows again, the climate on Adak
is really wonderful if you are looking
for a change - it changes so often.
Taula, SN of Special Services will be
leaving Adak soon and perhaps going to
his home in American Samoa which is a
long way from Adak to be sure. This is
to wish him bon voyage from all of his
shipmates at Special Services for they
have told me that he has dona a very,ver‘
good job while working at the Bowling
Alley, the Skating rink and other units
of the Village Gym. Tofa in Samoan mean
"goodbye" — this is what I have to say
to you Taula but I hope that we shall
meet again, "Monwia" (which means good
luck).
