YOUR COMMISSARY STORE. . . . . ... .
The. following information is quoted from the Naval Supply Depots Seattle
letter dated 18 December 1962:
Subject: Availability of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables' * '
Below freezing temperatures for extended periods in Florida, have greatly
curtailed supplies* Items noticeably affected are green peppers, curncumbers,
pink grapefruit and tomatoes. These items will be practically nonexistent
until crops from other growing areas are harvested. As a result, the pur
chase price of all items from other growing areas will, no doubt, show a marked
increase. \
We will continue to fill requisitions for all. items as long as the supply in
the pipe line is available. Requirements for hospital use will have the high
est priority. . • ■
The purpose of this letter is to alert you to the fact that there will be
shortages of items'for the next several weeks, and in the case of United
States grown tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, the shortage could last until
April.
We have been able to obtain a small amount of fresh produce from the Commissary
Store, Kodiak to supplement our stock when thdre is an extended period for
regular deliveries by the Mizar. These items come to us with a price increase
due to commercial air freight charges from Seattle to Kodiak, e.g. (190 per lb)
Bag Boys: ’
All boys on the base who had applied for bag boy position at the Commissary
Store will be assigned a section and a date on which their section will work.
They will be instructed on procedures and conduct by Chief Herring, Sales Div
ision Chief, who will act as supervisor for hiring and firing. Boys who are A
too small for handling large shopping bags in carry-out carts will not be con-^
sidered for employment. Chief Herring will have the authority to dismiss any
bag boy who fails to‘conduct himself in a satisfactory manner.
Menu Planning:
Pizza Pie: 1,000 are being received on the Asterion, We have a few small
turkeys left over from the holidays which make for a cheap meal for the
family.

here on the island are eating better than ever before as a result of the
fine work the personnel of the Commissary Store has put forth in making our
Commissary Store the best in any area including the lower forty eight.
