ADAK'S HOBBY CARPENTER SHOP
For the men in the barracks Adak’s
Carpenter Hobby Shop offers an opport
unity to make and build many items that
you have always wanted, such as Hi-Fi
cabinets, radio cabinets, sea chests &
the like which will be appreciated by
the use you will receive or bythe folks
back home in case you're interested in
making something for them.
A complete selection of power tools
are available and with these tools you
can turn out professional work that is
hardly discerable from the amateur. If
you're worried about not having too much
know-how there is always someone around
who will be glad to help you with your
problems in carpentry.
The necessary materials for many,many
projects can be bought at the hobby
shop. With winter coming on and the
days getting shorter and the nights
longer you’ll have a lot of time on
your hands that can be put to good use
by using your Special Services Facil
ities in the Bering Building.

This little ditty from The American
Way isn’t meant for anyone special*
Sometime when you're feeling import
ant, sometime when your ego’s in bloom,
sometime when you take it for granted
you're the best qualified in the room;
sometime when you feel that your going
would leave an unfillable hole, just
follow this simple instruction and see
how it humbles your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
put your hand in it, up to the wrist.
Pull it out—and the hole that's remain
ing is a measure of how you'll be miss
ed. You may splash all you please when
you enter, you can stir up the water
galore, but stop, and you'll find, toh a
moment that it looks quite the same as
before.
The moral in this quaint example is
do just the best that you can. Be proud
of yourself, but remember, THERE’S NO
INDISPENSABLE MAN.

Happy Birthday to Kyle OHLINGER who
celebrated his FIRST birthday on October
14th,
All the Navy Exchange Office was sad
to see the departure of Chief MC VICKER,
SKC who departed for the Naval Communic
ation Station, Friday, Good Luck, Chief.
The USS TAWAKONI is having Bingo for
the benefit of the Honolulu Community
Chest and the schedule is elsewhere in
the SUN but here is some late information
on the events that are scheduled on the
same night in connection with the Bingo
games. The Club Caribou will have a Happy
Hour from 7 to 8 before the Bingo. The
Club Bayview will have a Turkey Dinner
special at $1.00 from 6 to 8 before the
Bingo at that Club and the Hammerhead
Lodge will feature Chicken in the Basket
from 6 to 9 PM for 90$ when the Bingo is
held there.
Orchids to those men in X division
who have been detailed to do most of the
work (often in the cold, and rain) in
improving the grounds of the Station. The
new trees in the Traffic circle, gravel &
lanscaping by the Administration Building
are only two of these projects just com
pleted.
Weep, and you're called a baby; laugh
and you’re called a fool; yield, and you
are called a coward; stand, and you're
called a mule.
I'll bet those ladies and their friend
who called in an item to Muskie about
"drag-racing" past NorPac Hill don’tthink
it so funny if they were ticketed in the
recent campaign against speeders on the
Bayshore Highway. Actually "Muckie"
could care less about such an item. The
Marines are doing their job — and Jack
Quinn, Safety Officer says that there
has been a notice decrease in Auto
accidents and that is good news. It
means money saved for the government and
money saved for Adakians who drive cars.
President Rivers of the FRA wonders
about those people who volunteer for a
job and then call up at the last minute
to say they can't make it, if they vol
unteered for the Navy, what happens If
they’re called upon to give their life,
for their country. What will they
then do?
Keep Smilin'
