Naval Station Clean - uja Program
All of us stationed on Adak, whether by choice or net, have come to realize
that to us, it is home while' we are here* This is more profound since some of
the comforts and activities we usually take for granted, are not available to
us while on Adak. We tend to make do with what wo have, and, when possible,
to improve our - surroundings, both indoors and outdoors*
The Naval Station is currently in the process of conducting a general Station,
clean - up program# This involves the use of the fire department in controlled
burning of old, useless and unsightly bull lings'. It,also involves the use of
working parties comprised cf military personnel from each department, to tear
down, centralize, load and deliver to the dumps, the debris.and non-Lurnable
portions of. structures left after burning.' All military personnel involved in
this station, clean - up program are performing an outstanding job on an extrem
ely difficult and distasteful task, yet they do so cheerfully and willingly#
They most assuredly deserve our thanks ahd sincere appreciation.
To completely clean up Adak is a mountainous task,'that will not bo completed
for years to come, however, we are making a good start and a concerted effort
by all, will help immeasureably in making Adak a more pleasant place to live. •
A view of a flowered field or hill is very beautiful when not marred by an old
unsightly decayed building# •. .
The Naval Station military personnel are putting forth their best efforts in
a concentrated effort to beautify Adak. 'You also may help in this effort by
policing outside of public quarters, and adjacent areas. /Not only will you be
are members of a free race, proud cf our heritage, let us also be proud cf the
place in which we live.
