OVER THE FENCE
This has bean a hectic week for most all Adakians but the guys on the hatch
crews, the Commissary, the Exchange, Ships Department, T.V., and Bowling Alleys,
have really had it rough. Their work isn't finished yet, for another sh ip will
be in Tuesday. Others have felt the loss of T.V*. after 10 PM,, and the lack of
pin-setters at the Bowling.Alleys, That's the occupational hazard of being an
Adakian, and most have taken it.with a grin.
Theres a BUI on the island, now known as "Kingfish", who went with a fishing
party to Shagiak in a runaway jeep. When the jeep.finally came to a crazy stop,
The "Kingfish" climbed out and without another word walked back to the barracks,
declineing to ride in the jeep. Rather be walked to death than scared to death
says Ed.
More news on orders: Tom and Effie Thompson will be leaving /-vdak for Boise,
Idaho on July 11th. Bob and Byle Simcoe have received temporary duty assignment

greeted them-, explained that Heaven was full and He’d have to put them down be

sales, do you know those women1are only $20 short of air conditioning this place?"
