CONSIDER THESE FACTS
'If"you thought the Navy Relief Soc
iety on Adak hadn't been too active in
the past year you couldn't be farther
from the truth. How would you have
liked to have loaned $11, 658.00 int
erest' free to Adakians who needed it
during the past year. Then, found that
you had to make 3 grants in the amount
of’$325,( 3 loans converted to grants in
the amount of $565 and 7 loans uncollect
ible to the amount of $711. The 17ND
had total grants of $1,877.41, unc611ect
ible loans of $1,086.00 and $1,078.00
converted to grants. During the calen
dar year 1961 this brought about a red
uction of worth in the amount of $4,041.
An amount no one individual would care
to lose, if it were his, but the Navy
Relief, acting in the interest of pers
onnel on Adak and Kodiak (and for that
matter all over the world) had reduct
ions of worth that must be replaced if
they are to continue to provide emerg- .
ency assistance to those who need it as
well as their many other services. We
cannot anticipate that there will be
a reduction in emergency situations,just
as we cannot anticipate that we will
never have to turn to the ^avy Relief
for help. I doh't believe anyone on ••
Adak could be so vain as to'think that.
An emergency can strike anytime, at any
one.
Let us consider these facts when it
comes time to donate to the Navy'Relief
when your Keyman contacts you. Give as
much as you can and remember you are
giving to an organization that exists to
help you, your shipmates and dependents
in case of need-.
