CONSERVATION

Routine conservation of resources is more important on Shemya than
at less remote installations. The natural resource of water is not unlimited and must not be wasted in leaky taps or by long shower baths. Resources such as supplies and utilities must be controlled,
by severe discipline if necessary, to conserve funds and to save
time used in replenishment. Repair of damaged property or defaced structures diverts us from our primary mission. Vandalism or misbehavior of any sort, which detracts from conservation of
resources will be dealt with most severely.

RUSSIAN GRAVES

Among sights to see on Shemya, are two graves marked with crosses
of the Eastern Orthodox Church. We believe these to be graves of Russian seagoing men from the distant past. They are protected reverently and kept with respect.
