The week of 10-l6 February.has been designated -National Beauty
Salon Week." And, to properly celebrate the occasion", we at the
Navy Exchange are establishing a contest to name our Beauty Shop.
All personnel- are invited to submit an appropriate name to Mrs
Barber, the head beautician. Contest closes 28 February, and the
person submitting the winning name will receive a free wash, set
and styling of her hair;.if a male wins, he may designate who shall
receive the prize. ■ . -
For newcomers and. those that may have forgotten,, the beauty sho
works primarely by appointments, which can be made by dialing 515J.
The shop is located Just inside the front door that leads to the
Commissary and Navy Exchange. And remember, free coffee too.
The U.S.N.S. Mizar has brought “several new items, plus basic
stock for sale in the Retail Store. We have been asked several
times why it takes so long, to‘ put this new merchandise on the sales
floor, so the following is printed for your information:
Merchandise that is unloaded from the Mizar is hauled to the
storage shed, separated, uncrated, and hauled to the Exchange Re
tail Warehouse. Once in the Warehouse each item must he marked,
and each order must be checked in. Furthermore, all merchandise
must be stored in departmentalized areas. At this point the items
are ready for sale. But, there is one more consideration. If all
new arrivals are put on the sales floor at one time, what would in
terest you in coming back?
With the extremely changeable weather on Adak, the Exchange
Service Station would like to caution everyone to check their gas
gauges carefully and often, and keep the tank full at all times.
The Service Station is open for the sale of gasoline from 0830
to 173C1-* Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and from 0800-1200 on
Saturday.
With the rearrangement of the Retail Store, more merchandise
will be displayed and easier"to locate.
