NAVY EXCHANGE NOTES
FISH STORY! ^Jhat a thrill, here he had given up fishing salmon because he didn’t
believe in snagging, had taken the $2*00 his wife had given him and spent it on
the new Super-Dupers at the Navy Exchange - went to that place and caught 6.Dolly
Varden on candlefish playing them on the surface when he decided to try the small
er Super-Duper with a Garcia-Abumatic rig. The wind was just right and carried it
well into the wake of the stream and while the directions said play the Super-Dup
er deep he had started flipping it upstream into the wake on the surface like fren
zied candlefish when, wowl Somehow he knew it v/as a Salmon from the start, with 6
lb test and a small size 10 hook on the Super-Duper (It was fly rod size) he knew
he had to play it cool* It took 20 minutes but it was worth it. That Salmon had
hit that Super-duper like a freight train. Well, this may be a fish story but we
saw the Salmon-we know he bought the Suoer-Duper but anyhow a new stock of reels
have just been received the popular models 300, 301 and 302, ana plenty of accomp
anying line. While you’re at the fishing counter there are still a few of the fam
ous- make surface lures which are going at half price. While these lures aren’t
the best for Adak they’re excellent for bass and muskie waters in the lower 4S, &
make fine gifts for the fishermen back home#
NO IT WASN’T SANTA CLAUS! The man you saw sneaking out of the store with the snow
white hair who is similar in stature to that of Santa actually it was BARKER, SH2,
our Warehouse Manager who is hard at work readying toyland and just happened to
have sprayed himself with white paint during the process. Toyland will open arourr
1 October#
CLOTHING..It’s really here and is being brought down from the warehouse as soon as
possible. There are Men’s Wash and Wear Slacks, AH Wool shirts, Men’s sport
shirts (continental and ivy league, plaids and prints) khaki trousers, Sport Coats
Girls Car Coats (hooded), Men’s Slippers and 100/o Rayon washable sport shirts.
HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING can be made easier with the Presto Cook and Server and the
bar sets that are in stock along with the many other household appliances that
will enable the lady of the house to join in the fun. These items make excellent
gifts for the folks back home.
EVERYONE NEEDS A HOBBY and little Buckaroos1 need a Hobby Horse. There isn’t en
ough room on the salesfloor but we have Hobby Horses, Bicycles and wagons avail
able right now. If you’re interested ask any salesgirl to help you.
WINTER WINDS AND SNOWS can make life on Adak seem dreary, if you don’t have some
thing to make you cheery. A Shortwave Radio will bring you news and music from
all over the world on those nights when- the snow gets over the windows (it doesn’t
really). If you haven’t already started your record collection or don’t have a
record player we have just received some new Radio-Phono-Stereo combinations.Also
received are Stereo tape recorders.
ADAK’S NATIONAL FOREST has had another bad year and won’t be able to supply us
with trees but we’ll have plenty of plastic ones when Toyland opens. These are
as beautiful as the real, thing and come equipped with a forest scent, (and the
needles, don’t drop off). They can be used year after year and can be stored in
a minimum of storage space.
