OVER "THE'' FENCE
The February business\meeting of the Navy.Wives Club, which was scheduled for
Feb. 21, has been re-scheduled for this Thursday evening, Feb. 28, at 7:30 on 'the
second deck of the Village Gym, It is with regret, that I announce that the Club will
be unable to carry on much longer#.UNLESS more of the enlisted wives on Adak are will
ing to join the Club and help us to promote and support Welfare, Educational and Soc
ial programs. It is difficult to believe that the wives of servicemen defending our
country do not care what happens to those beyond their own front door. It is also
difficult to believe that these men, who do not hesitate to call on us when in need,
DO object to their own wives spending a few hours a- month trying to help others. All
enlisted mens wives (pay grade E-9 on down) ere urged to attend this meeting, and
help us to keep the Club going. Signed, Beverly Hamilton, President.

good nourishment. Come early, buy pleanty, eat hearty.
