Chaplain's Corner - (Continued)
They depend for their . success on.
knowledge and thoughtfulness. -Every
one admits that. They also depend on
moral principle. Some people tend to
overlook that. When a person does
what his knowledge and his conscience
indicate ‘ must be donw, he is making
the right choice. Even if the immed
iate effects of such a decision are
harmful or painful, it will bring
true satisfaction and happiness if it
is based on principle. 9 .
A number of times each "day you are
standing before two doors. Behind
one is a beautiful-future, behind the
other some kind of trouble. If you
choose thoughtfully and base your
choice on what you know to be right,
it does not matter "which door you
open.

* Beard and Henry1s Retreat at Haven
Pond was the scene of a, farewell party
Friday evening for Brandenburg, ADJ-1
who is leaving soon. The Matthews,
Faucetts, Dexheimers-, Hewkins, Barkers
Banburys and Mayfields were in attend
ance along with Haycraft, Kabrick,
Beard, Henry, "'Mattress Back" Simmons,
and Sevabia and others who Muskie might
have missed. One casualty was,Dex
heimer being snagged by a fly from *ole
Muskies fly-rod. There was a bit of
discussion about the size of the rain
bows in Haven Pond - the size of course
enlarged by inches as the evening pro
gressed but there are quite a -few 15-20
inch rainbows in Haven Pond. The trick
is to find a way to catch’then.- mat
15 l/2 inch rainbow .of Chief Dor-rity^
was a beauty but he won*t say where
he caught- it.
Captain Shelton' brought back some
beautiful lures from his leave. He
generously offered to let anyone at
Admin use them but they were such
beauties everyone was afraid they
might lose one.

LCDR KLEIN is looking for the cuipit
that entered a 5 l/8” Rainbow in his
name in the Adak fishing Derby.
NO one ever realizes it but the fuel
that keeps the station alive is pro
vided by the Station '’Fuel Farm”. Chief
Krumme is the supervisor' of this vital
part of the stati'on. He is assisted
by Thompson, 3T1, Hayes, EM3, Jewart,
MMFN, Loughridge, FN, Ramsey, FA and
Civilians Hagin, Fishback, Anstomb’ and
Eischens.
On call 24 hours a day they work
around the clock when-necessary to fuel
ships or receive the fuel ‘necessary for
the operation of the station. Can you
think of how it would be if there was
no fuel farm.- I remember when the ■
Army first moved to Adak and they
had to float the fuel in barrels ashore
at high tide.
-The ’’Fuel Farm" and its modern met
hods comprise :quite a change from -the
floating barrells.
There- is no doubt tint Muskie. has
mis sod many people who were- at the party
for Brand -nburg but we understand ' that
the party was also for the Bornheinor*s
and they didn't even show up. Many —
(which, inclu !es *ooe Muskie) wilV miss
the Bcrnheimerls and we wish them ' bon
voyage*
You know that. Adak is one of the
most beautiful islands in the Aleutian
chain# If you '’oubt my word you should
go up to Nurses Creelk Dam and see for
