MUSK II
Muskie thanks Mr. John Gibson, a civilian employee of the Naval Station for this
-little chuckle which he phoned in: It seems a TeXan whispered this to his wife:"I
think, honey, it’s time to tell our children about Alaska*11
A caller to Muskie also has mentioned the fact that the gals who set behind the
desk at the laundry have never been without a smile and a courteous hello. For
what its worth thejj, a tip of Muskies fur-lined hat to Mrs# Flo Shoemaker and Mrs.
Ruby Curtis.
While we1re at it - all of the gals at the laundry - deserve a tip of Muskies
fur lined pot-I mean hat-and while I am at it lets not forget the gals who are in
the DryCleaning plant.
There were many parties going on this weekend. Muskie being a teetotalater was
not at all of them. Most notable of them was the birthday oarty celebration for
Ross "Tiny” Barker and Effie "okie" Thompson held at the Thompson residence. The
party also was for Joe nMe Fixum" Farnsworth, lately of the Navy Exchange Garage,
who left Saturday.
We heard that Chief McVicker’s habit of buying records came to a slow halt - only
temporarily - it seems that his wife Millie told him: nWhy do you buy all those
records?" He answered: "Take your choice, would you rather have a husband who took
and spent all his money at the club," Milliefe pnswer: "Pd rather have a husband
that did neither, but you do both,"
Uhis line censored by the Editor;
How about that lucky Harris winning a bingo and then winning the jackpot in 56
numbers at the club Bay View • It ain’t rite. But it couldn't happen to a nicer
guy.
Wb hear that the Fleet Reserve Association Bowling Team is brqggin abou t their
bowling shirts - but the Army trounced them and put them in the cellar and moved the
cookie crumblers out of last place, new shirts and.all. . ■ •
Chief Toderick is quite a gun salesman. He talked Chief Malone ( who is
the Captains Writer) into buying a scope when he didn’t even have the gun. Then,
he talked him into buying a gun and the whole works. Mrs. Malone of course, was
sold on the ideq by a promise of a Seal Skin coat. I hope you get it, Carmen.
Usually Muskie donesn’t talk too much about Adak citizenry, but if you haven't
guessed by now, the real Muskie isn’t really writing this column.

It could happen to you, if you have a cat. The Stelzer’s were putting clothes
in their dryer when unknowing to them the cat jumped in. The cat made a few cyclew
before he was missed and when the dryer was checked the cat jumped out and they
haven1t seen the cat since. ‘ * *
St Patrick’s day was Saturday, there were those that were Irish, there were those
that claimed they were Irish and there were those that were darned liars. Regardless
it was a good day for St. Patrick because, there were a lot of people who were green,
either the night before or the day after and so Patton, the manager of the Bayview
says, come and see us soon, and
keep smilin,
