ADAK SUN RECEIVES 'WELL DONE” FROM CHIEF OF NAVAL PERSONNEL
In a letter from the Chief of Naval Personnel received by the Commanding Officer
a "Well Done" was extended to the Editor and staff of your weekly newspaper.
The letter, which was also endorsed with a "Well Done" by RADIvI CALDWELL, Command
ant SEVENTEENTH Naval District read as follows:
"in a continuing survey of ship and station newspapers, the staff of ALL HANDS
Magazine has remarked upon the excellence of the "ADAK SUN" as a station newspaper.
Many noteworthy items were pointed out. The reproduction was clean cut; there was
no wasted space; the items were far-ranging and lively. The "Over the Fence" col
umn, for example, was noted as a very fine way of bringing in the family life,Most
outstanding, it was felt- was the fact that the ADAK SUN handled its mission b y
using local material (instead of filling the paper with "canned" items)0The Marine
news, the movies, books and menu listings were also seen as strong sections.
The writing and editing and the very liveliness of the paper are attractive, as
is the clean layout. The column signed by "Muskie" is another shining feature of
the paper — in fact, it was much admired as a means of getting the word around in
a clever way*
The Chief of Naval Personnel extends a "well done" to the editors and staff."
