Well, here we are again, with the latest in news (?) and views. We
hear the fisherman are going ell out, even the bottlebass fishers. Hey, Red
and Willie, what kind of bait did you use? Maybe, Ben or Frank could tell
us! . .
We’d like to wish a fond farewell to Sue and Are Milton, who will be
leaving soon. Hate to see you leave, folks? want to wish you lots of luck.
Farewell also to the Hackney’s who are leaving soon to Pt. Mugu, the Tol
bert's to Kansas and Corpus Christi, the Mann's to Japan, the Arrington’s
to San Francisco, and "Pappy” Welch, who left last week.
Thursday Night is Square Dance night on Adak. Jim Krapes, caller and
instructor for the "Aleutian Whirl-Aways", sets up the equipment in the
school gym and has the music bouncing off the bulkheads by 7 s30 P.M. Last
week there were forty people responding to such action as "Whirl away with
a l/2 sashay" and "Box the Gnat across the Way". If these sound familiar,
come on down and join the fun any Thursday night. Look for news of a new
class in the near future.
Mrs. Dix, phone #556 would like some lint from your drayer, to use in
stuffing dolls. Give her a call if you have some, (and who doesn’t?) Who's
