Official statistics show that Personnel
from the Adak area have been receiving
far more from the Navy Relief than they
have been contributing. This is not a
matter to be taken lightly . The Navy
Relief Society is our own personal char
ity organization and is dedicated to
helping Navy and Marine Corps people.
The organization depends entirely on do
nations to exist. If the pot goes empty
the results are obvious.
Most people, when they think of the Navy
Relief, immediately think of funds for
emergency leaves and other financial
crisis...and this is true. However, the
Navy Relief does many other worthy things
too. Occupational training for Navy &
Marine Corps widows,..education for De

When you are called upon to donate to
the Navy Relief, remember that this is
our own charity and open up your purse
as well as your heart. Next.month at
this time, it could be YOU that needs a
helping hand...and the Navy Relief will
be there to help you, too.

There is no way to by-pass the written
exam. It therefore follows that the
