Icelandic Fishermans’
Life Saved Thanks
To Blood Donors
An Icelandic fisherman is alive
today thanks to three U.S. Navy-
men and an Icelandic Customs em-
ployee. On Saturday, December
15th, 32-year-old Jon Olafsson
from Reykjavik was critically in-
jured when struck in the head by
a 25-pound pulley block while his
ship was working in the Snaefells-
ness area. The trawler dashed for
Keflavik and help.
About five hours later, Olafsson
was admitted to Keflavik Hospital
in shock from apparent loss of
blood. Authorities said he had suf-
fered a skull fracture and his
right side paralyzed. Only emer-
gency surgery could save his life.
Dr. Jon Johannsson, hospital sur-
geon, noted the blood supply was
dangerously low. He called the
Naval Station and requested as-
sistance. The Naval Hospital, al-
erted to the case, called the Armed
Forces Radio Station and asked
for blood donors.
Within minutes, Howard Riley,
ABF2, Marshall Tedford, DK2,
Dale A. Telgenhoff, AT2 and
Egill Thorsteinsson had donated
their blood.
Olafsson is reported to be in
satisfactory condition.

Holiday Greetings
As this Christmas season of
1962 approaches with its ageless
message of hope for peace on
earth and good will toward men,
I extend to each of you warmest
greetings.
This past year placed extra-
ordinary demands on all hands in
the fleet. Our nation is proud of
the manner in which each of you
responded to increased duties and
longer periods away from home
than may normally be expected.
Many of you will be home for
Christmas and we can be thank-
ful that our actions have made
these reunions possible. Others, of
course, will be standing watch for
our country’s security aboard ship
and at far-flung outposts.
I wish all of you and your fam-
ilies a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

Barrier Xmas
(Continued from Page 1.)
While on station, Mr. Victor had
discussions with Rear Admiral
R. B. Moore, Commander Iceland
Defense Force and Barrier Force
Atlantic.
The veteran newspaperman took
many photographs on the station
and ventured into Reykjavik for
a meeting with Icelandic news-
papermen.
Mr. Victor was impressed by the
mild weather over the weekend
but got a good touch of typical
local weather Monday morning
when he woke up in the middle
of a howling blizzard. He left
Monday morning with rolls of ex-
posed film and many pages of
notes. His Christmas feature story
will be published in the DAILY
PRESS and will be offered to 19
newspapers of the Newhouse news-
paper chain.

Mrs. JKF's Ball Gown
Joins Historic Collection
To one of the Smithsonian Institution’s most popular
exhibits has now been added the gown Mrs. John F. Ken-
nedy wore at her husband’s Inauguration Ball on Jan.
20,1961.
The display, Dresses of the
First Ladies of the White House,
has just marked its 50th anni-
versary. With the addition of Mrs.
Kennedy’s gift it now includes
dresses or other costumes of the
nation’s First Ladies from Martha
Washington up to the present day.
It dates from 1912 when Mrs.
William Howard Taft presented
her own Inaugural Ball gown to
the Smithsonian after two ladies
prominent in Washington society
proposed the idea. Former wives
of Presidents and their descend-
ants were invited to contribute
to the collection which, since the
Taft Administration, has receiv-
ed a dress from every First Lady
in our history.
Not all are Inaugural Ball
gowns, however, these numbering
14. Nor is the exhibit, which is
housed in the Institute’s Arts and
Industries Building, limited only
to the wives of Presidents. It also
includes dresses worn by ladies
who served as hostesses in the
White House when circumstances
prevented the First Lady from
officiating. Her substitute at such
times is usually a relative or close
friend.
The dresses are displayed on
plaster mannequins molded to fit
them. Although their faces are
identical, each has a coiffure
copied from the subject’s portrait.
The mannequins occupy a series
of eight period settings which de-
pict changing modes of White
House decoration and ,along with
being a distaff costume history of
the nation’s capital, are of great
value to students of costume de-
sign.

out the nation.
