ADftK MR A SPORTMAN'S CLUB
The October meeting of the Club was
held at 1730,10 October, An interest
ing and enjoyable meeting it was too!
It was proposed & approved to hold
club meetings on the 2nd and 4th Mon
days ' each month. The next meeting
will be on 24 Oct. Make plans to att
end. It is a sad, but true fact that
the meetings are usually attended by
the same members. This amounts to the
club being controlled by a small min
ority of members. It is your Club too,
come out and help chart it's course.
Ways & Means to get the members to
come to meetings & participate in Club
> activities. Che idea advanced was that
if the meetings were more interesting,
more members would attend. Preceeding
with this thought in mind, plans are
to try to .lineup and publicize a pro
gram for the next meeting. More about
this next week.
Chief Melvin Pitts was elected to
the position of Secretary-Treasurer
with only one dissenting vote, his own!
Due to the impending departure of Mrs.
M.ayme Price and family* The Price
family will be missed and surely de
serve a hearty "well done" for their
many activities within the Club* Mr.
Price was Club President from January
until going on vacation in June.
Bob Fellows informed the Club that
he has "closed shop" as firearms agent
Thanks for a fine job of procuring
firearms for club members, Bob. Mar

ion, for the job. He has applied for
his Federal Firearms License and is
now taking orders from club members
desiring firearms.

GHOST Of THE
WILLIWAW'S
Everyone has been talking about the
weather here on Adak - too bad no one
can do anything about it# No sooner
had the Editors headlined snow on Mt#
Moffett than 'ole man weather came
roaring in with snow and sleet on the
station proper. It didn't last long -
but it delighted the youngsters who
went in search of drifts to make their
first snowballs from. It reminded the
station personnel that it was anti
freeze time - time to check over the
foul weather geer.
While the youngsters anticipate it
with delight - not so our Public Works
Department who man the snow removal
crews and standthe Williwaw's security
watches. For them it means long cold
hours and work; work; work! We can
help them by keeping the doors closed,
the thermostat at one normal setting -
using what lights and needed 'and no
more. By Dot calling the trouble desk
on weekends or at night unless it is
truly an emergency!
Thirteen candidates were initiated
into the Fleet Reserve Association at
the regular meeting held Wednesday, 12
October 1960. Gold pins and membership
cards were presented George Higgin
botham, Secretary and Joe Palmyra for
the distinction of signing up 10 mem
bers each, A letter of congratulations
from the National Secretary was read
by FRA #169 President E, J. Van Rysk
who made the presentation of awards.
Over 40 members attended the General
Assembly meeting and later enjoyed the
movie which is now - SOP every Wednes
day at the FRA. Plans were discussed
on future Socials including a New Years
party and referred to the Board of
Directors. According to the source of
my information things are getting "Ship
shape" with our Shipmates of the Fleet
Reserve Association,
There must be something to rein
carnation, judging by the way some
people come back to life at quitting
time.
Keep Smilin'
