WHITE FALCON

VCO WtteA
Club Kleu>A
By N. J. Studebaker
Therese Marie Crose is one of Keflavik’s newest resi-
dents. As an added distinction, she’s probably one of Kefla-
vik’s smallest residents as well. When “Terry” made her
debut on Wednesday, March 13th, at 8:30 a.m., she weighed
a tiny four pounds, surprising- her^>
parents Mr. and Mrs. Clifford C.
Crose ,by arriving nearly three
weeks earlier than anticipated.
When Theresa reaches a robust
five pounds, the doctors will allow
her to go home. There she will
meet her older brothers, William
and Paul, for the first time. The
baby is now being kept in an
incubator at the Naval Station
Hospital.
Theresa’s mother, Mrs. Rose
Crose, is a member of the NCO
Wives’ Club and has served as
off-base hospitality chairman for
the club in 1962. All club members
and Rose’s many other friends ex-
tend to the Crose family and lat-
est addition their very best wishes.

‘Ski Run’ To Test
Spacecraft Landing
Houston — The U.S. Manned
Spacecraft Center says a port-
able “ski run” will be used to
find out how a two-man Gemini
spacecraft lands upon ground
and water.
The spaceship will be hung
on an overhead track and cata-
pulted into the water, onto soft
sand, and onto bare and rocky
ground.
The catapult, something like
those used to fling airplanes
into the air, will hurl the space-
ship out of the rack at its land-
ing speed of about 68 mph.
‘OUST A...
reuse!
By John Tacy, ATI
Among the top attractions to be
aired this week are two that are
really outstanding. Westinghouse
Presents, Thursday-at-8:30, “The
Wacky World of Jerry Lewis.”
This is a tour-de-comedie-force
that combines material from tele-
vision, motion pictures and night
clubs. However, Jerry’s observa-
tions hinge on the entertainment
field, the axis of his “Wacky
World.”
Friday-at-8, Channel 8 fills the
airways with *55* Beautiful Girls,
with the hour and forty minute
tele-version of “The Miss America
Pageant.”
For the eighth time, Bert Parks
serves as on-stage MC. Each of
the 50 States are represented in
a glamours run-through, plus the
Misses of The District of Colum-
bia, New York City, Chicago,
Puerto Rico and Canada.
The run-through is followed by
the evening gown, talent and swim-
suit competitions. Somewhere
along the line the panel of judges
is introduced, but who really
cares? The ten semi-finalist en-
gage in a question-and-answer ses-
sion and, after the finals, the new
“Miss America” is crowned.
The staffers of AFRTS are ner-
vously looking toward Tuesday,
March 26th, when the first of
this season’s live show will be
presented.
THE INTEREPID’S, a pop-
and-standards group, takes over
Studio C from 9:30-10:00, on
Tuesday evening. Pat O’Neal man-
ages the Intrepid’s, which is made
up of all-electric musicians. The
electric guitars and bass are play-
ed by Mitch Abrams, Jeff Em-
mons, Ron Kozlow and Don Stac-
zak. Lee Villota comes center-
stage for the vocals after lending
a talented hand on his own guitar.
The group plays professionally
at clubs around the base and it
is interesting to note that they
represent the 57th F.I.S., Nav-
CommSta, and the Naval Station.
This week we “Bless” four
shows — Accent, Bob Cummings,
The Dick Powell Show and Who
In The World. Next week viewers
will preview three new shows,
Focus On America, Magic Land
of Alakazam, and the regular
series Bell Telephone Hour. Phil
Silvers will shift his position, to
his advantage, of course.
The hour-long version of Gun-
smoke begins next week, Satur-
day, 8:30-9:30.
Red Cross; Centennial
This year, a world-wide volun-
teer army of mercy observes its
100th anniversary. It was in Gen-
eva, Switzerland, in 1863, that the
Red Cross movement began.
In the past century, the red
cross on a field of white has sil-
enced guns in a multitude of
battles. By international treaty,
the Geneva Conventions, this
neutral symbol shelters wounded
and ill combatants, those caring
for them, those taken prisoner,
and those whose homeland has
been taken by enemy forces.
In peace, it is the universal sym-
bol around which we rally to aid
and comfort the victims of earth-
quakes, floods, storms and other
natural disasters.
Today there are some 90 Red
Cross, Red Cresent (in Moslem
countries) and Red Lion and Sun
(in Iran) societies. They have a
total of more than 157,000,000
members. That is quite an army.
It averages out to about one Red
Cross member for every 20 per-
sons in the world.
We belong to this nonpolitical,
nonideological, nonsecretarian
army of mercy through our Amer-
ican Red Cross.
Although charged by Congress
with special responsibilities (to
aid members of our armed forces
and disaster victims) our Red
Cross relies solely upon our volun-
tary support. Through it, we keep
the world-wide Red Cross strong
with contributions of our money,
time and talents.
MEN OF THE MONTH—January’s Airman, Sailor and Marine of the
Month pose with Rear Admiral Robert B. Moore, former Commander
Iceland Defense Force. L t R are: A2C Michael W. Woelke, Airman
of the Month; Rear Adm. Moofre; John R. Elliot, ETNSN, Sailor of
the Month; and LCpl Henry E. Mann, Marine of the Month.
Men of The Month
A2C Michael W. Woelke, US-
AF, John R. Elliot, ETNSN, USN,
and LCpl Henry E. Mann, USMC,
were named Airman, Sailor and
Marine of the Month, respectively,
of the Iceland Defense Force re-
cently and awarded $25 checks
and Certificates of Achievement
by Rear Admiral R. B. Moore,
former Commander Iceland De-
fense Force.
Airman Woelke, assigned to the
1933 Comm Sq, Det 20 at Grinda-
vik, is a native of Yakima, Wash.
He is a Heavy Ground Mainten-
ance Technician.
Seaman Elliot, assigned to the
Naval Communications Station, is
from Little Rock, Ark. Prior to
joining the Navy in February
1961, he attended the Little Rock
University for two years.
Corporal Mann, assigned to the
Marine Barracks, is from Opelika,
Ala. He worked for the Opelika
Textile Corporation in Opelika be-
fore joining the Marine Corps in
June 1961.
Don’t Leave Medicines
In Reach of Children
Parents (and anyone who could possible have visitors
with small children) should keep in mind the dangers of
leaving medicines and drugs within reaching distance or
even climbing distance.
Although a medicine may not^-
be inherently dangerous to an
adult in adult doses, an adult dose
or even more can be extremely
injurious to the small delicate sys-
tems of an infant. An infant does
not have the discretionary powers
to tell what to touch and what
to leave nor does he know how
much his system can handle, but
he does have the instinct to keep
himself fed. Thus a part of the
process of learning is the younger
set’s popular taste test.
There has been a recent case
of this nature here on the Naval
Station, so it can happen here.
Be sure your conscience cannot
possibly blame you for thought-
lessly having put potential tragedy
within reach of an innocent child.
In God We Trust’Taken
From National Anthem
Congressional action, initiated
by Representative C. E. Bennett
of Florida was responsible for the
inscription “In God We Trust” on
U.S. paper money.
The phrase was originally au-
thored by Francis Scott Key in
1814 in the fourth stanza of “The
Star Spangled Banner,” as “In
God is our trust.”
Fifty years later it appeared on
money for the first time on the
obverse side of a 2-cent piece.

Club fleivA
By Wilma Grozier
The New Comers coffee was
held on March 13th. We are de-
lighted to be getting new blood in
the group, but sorry to say fare-
well to so many of our loyal mem-
bers who have worked so much for
the club. We are happy to wel-
come Mrs. Paul Buie as our new
honorary chairman. In the coming
weeks we will get to know her
and hope she enjoys our club here
in the Land of Frost and Fire.
Also welcomed were Elaine Boe,
LaVada Boisse, Mary Jo Pflimlin,
Jean Bryant and Jenny DeVal-
court. Bless Fish were given to
Mary Trember and the last good-
by’s to Jo Ann Moore.
On April 20th the OWC is spon-
soring a cocktail party in the main
ballroom of the O’ Club. Drinks
will be regular prices and a cover
charge of $1.00 per person for
heavy hor d’oeuvres. The profits
from this will go into the welfare
fund. We are not just a social
club but contribute to organiza-
tions aboard the base as well. This
will make it possible for us to
continue to do so. A warm and
cordial invitation is extended to
the Officers of VP-11, VW-11 and
VW-13. Come out for a night of
fun and aid a good cause too.
Bridge will be held March 27.
Call Dorris Brackett for reserva-
tions.
