Everyone knows that'.GRAVES, DK1, is a
man to drive a hard bargain but he really
outdid himself recently when he made 50$
and received a new shirt for his efforts.
It all started.when GRAVES heard MILLER,
BM]_ complaining about a red, wine red,
silk finish shirt he had sent for thru
a catalog. Graves offered him 50 cents
for it and he accepted the offer.GRAVES
went to the Bayview and was. offered a
dollar by BARKER, SHp, who needless to
say was given the shirt by GRAVES.GRAVES.
and another Bayview customer changed
shirts again to match their slacks but
BARKER wore his home and was promptly
placed In the doghouse by his wife,Ann
who didn’t appreciate the shirt, even at
the bargain price. We wonder if the
shirt mil ever be seen again on Aclak. .

having such a fine staff who already are
doing a wonderful job in caring for Adak's
personnel with the personnel shortages
just one of the problems that has to be
contended 'with*
Adakians would do well to remember
that there are many problems facing the
medical personnel who tend us and coop
erate in making it easier for them to
accomplish their task of serving us.

Their fate hasn’t yet been decided by

of the same will be done again this year.
One of the best potential lakes ment
ioned in a biologists report in 1959 was
Mitt Lake located over the hill from the

screened off and rainbows planted since
the lake has good food potential and is
deep (15 feet) in some spots. Rainbow
were planted there but they must have
went to sea as last year only Dolly Vard
