Exchange, Clothing Store and the
Commissary from 11:30 a.m. to
1 p.m.
The purpose of Flower Day is
to raise money for the charitable
work of the Salvation Army in
Iceland.
With each contribution the don-
ors received a small five-petaled
flower called the King’s Flower,
so named by King Haakon VII of
Norway for the benefit of the
Salvation Army.
Military men should be aware
of the Salvation Army’s work a-

on liberty in Reykjavik are in-
vited to stay overnight in the
Salvation Army Hotel. Rooms and
meals are available at a very mod-
est price.
Buying U.S. Savings Bonds on
the Payroll Savings Plan won’t
eliminate your monthly bout with
the budget, but it can guarantee
that you won’t spend all your
money before you save some.
