CHRIS‘E/IAS IN JUNE* The last ship brought in a supply of new toys to keep the
small fry busy and happy. Lots of delightful amusements for birthday gifts, re
wards, educational purposes or bribery! They*re ever so handy to have around on
a rainy day, and they are quite a few of those on Adak, as every mother of small
lively children is well aware.
DON’T GIVE UP*••♦.KEEP DRYINGl In case the dryer in your home falls apart, it
cannot be replaced because of recent government specifications, for military hou
sing, However, don’t despair and send away for clothesline to drape across the
living room. The Exchange will have shiny, brand-new dryers available,,,,,lovely
dryers that do practically everything but fold the clothes and put them away.And
the joy of these modern new appliances is that you can take them with you when
you leave. Even if the dryer you have at present is on its best behavior, you
might want to investigate these for future use. You probably can’t beat the
prices on these efficient new dryers unless you manufacture your own.

Exchange will be closed for semi-annual inventory. Sh*p ahead during the early
