been all that could be desired. Please bear with us and by the end of this week
service should be back to the normal 3 to 5 days. Any inconvenience that has re
sulted is deeply regretted-.
Department and Division picnics are a lot of fun, but, unfortunately Adak's sum
mers are rather short. However, this is no reason to discontinue the department
parties. The various.Navy Exchange clubs, (Eayview, Caribou and NAVCOMMSTA 21
Club) are available for steak dinner parties. Contact the Club managers for price
quotations * and assistance in planning your next party.
Speaking of Adak’s Navy Exchange Clubs, all are now operating under new managers.
Chief Stockdale has relieved Chief Lee at the Caribou. Chief Lee is soon to de
part Adak for a new duty station,; Joe Malia, long time operator of the Willa-Wa
lounge, is now running1'the NAVCOMMSTA . 21 Club and Snack Bar, thus relieving Ross
Barker, SH2, to assume the helm at the Club Bayview. Henley, SH3, has assumed
management duties-at the Willa-Wa.lounge. These are all good men and service will
^continue at the same peak efficiency.
^We hate to keep pounding the same old drum, but customers must again be reminded
that the rear entrance to'the Main Exchange, next to the Post Office, is to be
used for only two -purposes: Access to the office by Navy Exchange employees and
in case of fire.
T»V. REPAIR...Is that old set getting kinda sick? Take it to the Navy Exchange
TV hospital located in the Port Ad building for a general overhaul. Prices are
reasonable and any and all kinds of repairs are made. And if you feel that you
don't want to put anymore dough in the old set, remember TVs are normally in
stock at the Exchange and if we don’t have the model you want, try the Special
Order department.
On the manifest for this ship are Chains, Anti-freeze and a good supply of tires.
Winter is just around the corner and these are all necessary items if you intend
to drive during the winter.months. A good battery, points, spark plugs, etc.,
can make the difference between a start and a stall during the cold months and
these items are available at and will be installed by the Navy Exchange Garage,
Take care of that. old .bus and it will take care of you.
