ilof islands are inhabited by 500 Aleut

NEW SURROUNDINGS_
The new office spaces for the Command
ing Officer, Executive Officer, Admin
Officer and the crew of the personnel
office are almost completed.
Aside from the fact of more pleasant
surroundings, this change of location
will be weleomed by the rest of CommSta
crew. Everyone has to make many trips
to the personnel office for various rea
sons. In the past, it has always been
necessary to go to the Bldg P-62, and
present your identification Before en
tering the area. The lost time for each
trip didn*t’amount to much but for all
personnel in a year* s time, it amounted
to many man hours lost.

The new office spaces were constructed
entirely by Radio City Public Works per
sonnel, and as usual, is a real profes
sional looking job.
MOFFETT HIGH-LIGHTS
Last Monday was a beautiful day on Bdak.
Gamache, Armstrong, Lundeen, Meadows ,
Weinfurter, Hellbusch, Kag and Foo, who
had the afternoon off, decided to hike
up the side of Mt, Moffett. All took
skis and snowshoes due to amount of snow
up that-a=way. Some humorous incidents
happened,.When Helxbusch tried to ski,
he made a two foot run. This is not par
so he tried another. This time he made
10 yards and terminated with a snappy
somersault. While getting untangled,one
of his skis decided to go it aline and
ended up half a mile down the mountain
side. Weinfurter also had some tough
luck. A fair skier, he made a good run
but his skis decided to stop suddenly.
One of his skis then made a re cord run
by itself....down the mountain, across
a dam and a stream* Poor Arne had to
build a Kayak to capture it.
Uphill walking through the snow is tire
some (especially if your not in shape)
Lundeen was named "The Hershey Bar Kid"
and advised to take advantage of some
PT programs that are available.
Foo had sane difficulty too. He was walk
ing along one of those misleading ledges
of soft snow when suddenly he dropped
twenty feet below. When he tried to get
back up, Kag decided to play king of the
mountain and pushed him back down each
time. Many pictures were taken and I’m
anxious to see how they came out.
Remember the big wind last Tuesday? Well
Buck had a big piece of plywood to carry
from the ”T” bldg, to the garage in that
wind. As he left the ground, all at Mt.
Moffett gave a big cheer. (We thought he
was going to join Col. Glenn in orbit).
We must admit that our first attempt at
orbital flight was a failure though.
he only went as far as the garage..it w
was a mighty fast trip though!
WELCOME ABOARD to ALLIoON, J.E. FA, who
arrived this week from COMMbTA, That's
it for this week.
