2 WHITE FALCON Friday, March 26, 1965 PARTICIPATION IN THE ECONOMY DRIVE SUBMIT YOUR SUGGESTION NOW ! Air Forces Iceland Holds Suggestion Day A new twist to an old program will originate here April 26 when Air Forces Iceland will stage a “Suggestion Day.” On that date all personnel assigned to AFI, whether they be attached to the headquarters located at Keflavik International Airport, or to one of the radar sites around the country, will submit a suggestion through proper chan- nels in the Military Suggestion1^ Program. Project officer for Suggestion Day is 1st Lt. Nelson A. Valle, who is also monitor of the sug- gestion program here. tions any time before Suggestion Day, April 26, but none will be forwarded to the project officer until that day. A Unit First Over 600 Ideas “By getting one suggestion from each available person here in Ice- land,” he said, “we will have over 600 ideas on how the Air Force can save money, material and manhours.” The idea of having a Suggestion Day at Keflavik was sprung from a meeting of a number of persons involved in the Military Sugges- tion Program with Col. Alan G. Long, commander of Air Forces Iceland. The program is considered to be working well here, but a greater emphasis on the impor- tance and practicality of MSP was deemed necessary—and Suggestion Day was figured to provide the momentum. From Top To Bottom From Colonel Long on down, key personnel in AFI expect 100 per cent participation of available airmen and officers on Suggestion Day, as unit commanders and monitors begin intensive cam- paigns to “get out the suggestion.” Personnel may submit sugges- THE WHITE FALCON U.S. Naval Station Keflavik White Falcon’s mission—To in- form and entertain all hands: to serve as a positive factor in pro- moting the efficiency, welfare and contentment of personnel. “So far as we know this is the first Air Force unit to stage a Suggestion Day, and if it proves successful we may make it an annual campaign here, and even see similar programs adopted by other units around the world,” said Lieutenant Valle. Big Job Involved A lot of paper work will be in- volved in such a program, accord- ing to Lieutenant Valle, but steps are being taken to minimize a seemingly unsurmountable task. All units and work sections have been supplied sufficient copies of the Air Force Form 1000, on which the suggestions will be written. Special briefings are being planned and overhead transpar- ancies made so that commanders and work chiefs can quickly and easily explain the necessary forms and the steps to follow in sub- mitting a suggestion. Use Your Knowledge “There are many airmen and officers here who know the ways and means to cut costs and man- power, but just never seem to get around to implementing their ideas or letting someone know about it,” he said. “Others merely make the necessary changes on Capt Robert R.

Col. William Truxal. The wives found the tour of the radar in- stallation and facilities not only very interesting, but informative as well. The luncheon in April will be sponsored by the BARLANT wives and plans will be announced soon. A new member of the nursery committee is Donna Brown. Ruth Gregory, the nursery chairman, has asked that all parents who de- sire their children to receive lunch must have the youngster in the nursery before 11 o’clock. This is necessary because of the ad- vance planning and preparation needed to prepare lunches for a number of children. Don’t forget to deposit any use- able clothing, etc., in the boxes in the “O” Club, PX and Com- missary stores for the jointly sponsored wives club’s Thrift Shop. And be sure to turn in your favorite recipes to the cook- book committee as soon as pos- sible. Bridge will be played next Tues- day at the “O” Club and reserva- tions may be made by calling Alice Haveland, 4276. The monthly “Hail and Bless” Coffee will be held on April 13. No reservations are necessary and all members are welcome. Hail & Bless Personnel who have arrived (Hail) and left (Bless) U.S. Naval Station, Keflavik for duty as of March 24: HAIL Akins,-V.

The first three months of preg- nancy are probably the most im- portant months before the actual delivery of the infant. It is dur- ing these early weeks of preg- nancy that the fetus (baby) de- veloping in the uterus or womb, is in the most danger. The majority of spontaneous abortions or “miscarriages” occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. It is, therefore, advisable for the expectant mother to consult a doctor as soon as she .is aware of, or strongly suspicious of, being pregnant. During the initial visit with her doctor, the patient will receive a complete physical examination and, in addition, a chest X-ray, blood count, blood type determina- tion, urinalysis and a Papanicolau smear for detection of malignent cells. The doctor will discuss her diet, physical activity, and what to expect during her pregnancy. He will, also, at the time give her any medications which he feels are necessary. As a rule, the medications will consist of vita- mins, certain minerals, and iron, either seperately or in combina- tion. It is during the first three months of pregnancy that the patient experiences “morning sick- ness,” the nausea and vomiting characteristic of early pregnancy. Nausea is not experienced by every pregnant woman, but is present to some degree in most cases. (To be continued next week). Chaplain A Corner Cdr A.E. Saeger, Jr., CHC, USE “The wise use of a wastebasket,” says a most distinguished editor, “is the secret of all successful editing.” Perhaps only those who have spent years doing the work of an editor know how truly signi- ficant this observation is. Intelligent Use With little doubt the intelligent use of the wastebasket might be considered the secret not only of successful editing, but in a sense, the secret of successful living, too. Too many lives are loaded down with trash that should have been discarded and thrown into the wastebasket long ago Old worries, silly grudges, smoldering resentments and green-eyed jeolousies which should have been consigned to oblivion long since, are all too frequently nursed along from day to day as though our lives de- pended upon them. Piques Belong To The Past There is only one place for the petty piques, the festering feuds, and the smoldering grudges of yesterday. That place is the waste- basket! We dare not permit the unholy emotions of yesterday to be- foul the air of a fresh today or a new tomorrow. What a difference there would be in many of our personal relation- ship, in the life of many a family, and in our lives here on the Station, if each of us would learn to purge ourself of each unworthy thought and evil emotion with every setting sun! Start Each Day Anew “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath,” the Sacred Record tells us. In another portion of Scripture we are told: “Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us.” We are not to carry those things which separate us from our God and our fellow men—our pet temptations, our pet prejudices, our pet grievances, and our pet worries from one day to another. With God’s help we are to dispose of them. Happy indeed, is the person who has learned to “lay aside” to “forget” the angry thoughts and cherished base desires which pile up within his heart and start each new morning unencumbered by a growing and snowballing backlog of “wrongs to be righted” and “scores to be settled.” Forgive And Forget The Apostle Paul had learned the blessed use of the wastebasket in the nurture of his own spiritual life. “Forgetting those things which are behind.... I press toward the mark,” he tells us. What an excellent thought at the beginning of each new day. Let us forget those things which God forgives and would have us forget, and let us press forward to those things which are worthy of our time and which our Lord would have us achieve.
