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-

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

Under the Suggestion Day plan
here, these suggestions will be

will receive cash for his idea, the
Air Force will save money, and
jobs will be made easier.

Many thanks go to the AFI
wives and their helpmates for a
delightful cocktail hour and lun-
cheon held recently at Rockville,
whose commanding officer is Lt.
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.

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.

“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.
