NEW STORE Progress in remodeling the new Commissary store under the supervision
of Chief King is well underway. A new coating of bright paint in various colors
has been applied and the erecting of modern shelving is almost complete. If by
chance you are in the area during working hours, stop by, look in and see for
yourself how the work is coming along. During the visit don't be surprised if
Chief King doesn't ask you to hold one end of his measuring tape, pass him a
hammer, or give him a hand full of nails. There is still a lot of work to be
done before the opening on 27 October 1960.
MISSING FACES During the week the Commissary Store experienced the unexpected
early loss of three of its men. Asseln, SN and Adair, SN, departed for the
states on emergency leaves, and Spoon, SK3, was transferred a month early to
the Commissary Store, Charleston, S.C. . There are quite a few empty Commissary
Store bunks in Upper 5 Barracks at this writing.
FARM MEWS Fisher, CS3, who works in the produce department has finally proved
that he is still a farmer at heart. Drawing from experience gained in his youth
back in Oregon, he planted-two rows of potatoes in back of the store during
the spring. When the plants sprung up, most of his store buddies thought them
to be just other unknown Adak weeds. However, to their surprise last week the
first harvest was held on Fisher's Adak farm* At least two dozen-small Alaska
Grade One potatoes were dug from his garden. Another harvest is planned later.
If any of you would be farmers want to know a few pointers on rock farming, and
further want proof that it can be done on Adak, ask our produce department ex
pert, Fisher, to show you his farm.=
