On April 4th the Cherry Blossom Festival opened in Washington with 54 beauti
ful princesses making their first public appearances in Washington,. D.C. This
beautiful festival conducted annually includes a Cherry Blossom Parade and many
other festivities. Would you like to see a Cherry tree in bloom on Adak. Well,
it can be done thanks to the men of the Canadian ships that were hosted here
week before last. They donated a cherry tree, which is in bloom and at present
at Public Works. Also donated were two Lilac Trees which have blooms on them.
Mr* Cal fee stated they would plant the tree when the ground thawed and so the
cooks at Birchwood no longer have the tallest tree on Adak altho they do have
the tallest Avacado tree. Has spring sprung? The lilac trees are in the nursery.
If you’re heading for the heavy cruiser Helena or 12 other ships that have
been selected you’ll be taking part in the World’s Fair at Seattle during the
period April 21 through October 21. Even if you’re not slated for duty aboard
one of those lucky ships you'll want to spend a few days at the fair if you're
jslated for transfer during that period.
We hear from the Commissary Store that CAGLIOHE, CS1 is making the rounds of
certain areas of Adak doing some prospecting?? The informer wouldn't say what ho
is prospecting for nor where but good luck]
The only car of its kind on Adak and most likely the only one to bo over seen
here with a $400, custom paint job was completed here this week. The car a 1959
ford 2 door owned by R. P. MASK, BM2 of the Master at Arms Force was refinished
complete, inside and out with a special custom paint known as metal flake. This
paint has only been on the market for a little over a year and is strictly for
show cars, such as custom cars and hot rods. It was refinished by Harold
Bennett.
The station was invaded by an enemy of the lowest form of life last weekend
when several cabins were broken into including the Girl Scout Cabin. All Adak
ians should be on the lookout for this enemy - it must slink pretty close to the
ground and surely does not bear any semblance to ca true citizen of Adak. If you
see anything irregular or have heard or know of any information that would be
helpful to the Security Department and Marine Patol in the apprehension of this
enemy please call Security, or the OOD.
