Youth Center Carnival
Called ‘Big Success’
The Youth Center held its annual carnival Saturday after-
noon, March 27. At 3 p.m. the doors opened to a steady
flow of parents, children and military personnel. Approxi-
mately 1,000 people enjoyed three hours of games, cake-
walks, side show, a bazaar, door prizes, hot dogs and candies.
Colorful crepe streamers and balloons throughout the
building lent to the gay carnival atmosphere.
The Teen Club under the direction of SSgt. Ed Broussard
presented a very entertaining program. It consisted of a
can-can number performed by®'
Kathy Keener, Jean and Mary
Downey, Joan Haveland, and
Susan Haynes; a pantomine of
Keflavik’s A1 Jolson by Bill Jor-
dan ; and a Charleston number
done by Joan Haveland, Kathy
Keener, and clown (Ed Broussard).
Also a pantomine of “Willow
Weep For Me” was simulated by
Vic Loher and Mickey Lither-
land.
Other acts in the side show
were performances by the “Lady
Beatles” consisting of Kathy
Keener, Sue Haynes, Jean Dow-
ney and Joan Haveland; a Pup-
pet show done by Rickey Haynes,
and Tena and Danielle Wey-
mouth plus a clown act with Ed
Broussard and Mary Downey. Lee
McGowan was the show’s master
of ceremonies and magician.
The carnival was a project of
the NCO Wives Club in which
they participated. The NCO
members also had their own
bazar booth where they sold an
assortment of gifts and knick-
knacks.
The success of the carnival was
due to the cooperation of many
people. Throughout the day the
individual booths were manned by
Mrs. Ben Sparks, Mrs. Jane Ro-
mano, Mrs. Lester Sanders, Mrs.
Betty Keener, Mrs. Rita Harper,
Mrs. Annette Babneau, Mrs. Flo-
rence Hurt, Mrs. Doris Smith,
Mrs. Jean Meyers and many
other husbands and wives this ar-
ticle can’t find room enough to
mention.
Cakes for the cake walk were
donated by the mothers. And a
special thanks goes out to Cor-
poral Bauer, Private First Class
Doriot, Seaman Apprentice Ove-
lette and Seaman Apprentice
[Patter for doing such a good job
of cleaning up after all the fun.
EDITORIAL
Base Newspaper Wins Honor
Our hats are off to you, Dear Reader.
In case you haven’t heard, the White Falcon has been
named as one of the Sea Service “top ten” publications for
1964. This, mind you, after winning the Freedoms Foun-
dation Award in 1963. And only last fall the Navy’s Chief
of Information lauded the Falcon for being one of 38 sea
service publications classed as “excellent examples” of what
should be expected in a good military newspaper.
One of the most coveted awards that a Navy, Marine or
Coast Guard newspaper can receive is the “Silver Anchor
Trophy”, handed out annually by the Armed Forces’ Writers
League. In the latest Silver Anchor contest the White
Falcon placed eighth from the top in a group of 20 finalists.
The finalists were culled from a field of 500 competing
newspapers by a panel of military and civilian journalists.
We of the White Falcon staff like to think that the high
rating given your newspaper is the result of the staff’s
efforts to serve its readers in the best possible way. But
while the temptation is great to toot our own horns, we
realize that it is you, the reader, who deserves the congrats.
Perhaps the biggest contributing factor in making the
Falcon a better newspaper is reader interest. When enough
of you care enough to pitch in and tell us about yourself,
your division or squadron, a good paper becomes a better
paper. Sometimes the best.
We like to hear our ’phones jangling every minute. We
like to see people paddle into our upside-down office with
reams of glowing tidbits. At such times, we are happiest.
If you drop in two minutes away from deadline and
a White Falcon staffer, who has two fingers stuck in a
typewriter, shouts obscenities at you, don’t give it a second
thought. Most journalists never have a perfect day.
When your story is printed, this is our way of saying
“Thanks.” If it isn’t printed, because of space limitations
or because it was written in Greek—or appeared to be—
we still owe you a heap of thanks for donating your time
and effort.
Most important, when the White Falcon gets a pat on
the back, we remember our readers.
So again our hats are off to you. And don’t forget to
feed the White Falcon. When you do, you breathe life into
it and keep in flying. Higher and higher.

BEATLEMANIA—Keflavik’s answer to the Beatles—the Alfred T.
Mahan High School girls perform a pantomine of two of the “mop-
tops” latest discs. The “Lady Beatles” (from left to right) are Kathy
Keener, Susan Haynes, Jeanne Downey and Joan Haveland.
I WON A CAKE—Cake Walk winner Jack Sotherland beams at the
camera with his prize, a cake baked by one of the mothers on base

candy apples and balloons.
Your Personal Affairs —
People Don’t Need Millions
To Purchase Stocks—Bonds
The average serviceman may have the idea he must be
rich to invest in stocks and bonds.
It is true that there once was a time when Ameirca’s
capital came largely from hundreds of peoples with millions
of dollars, but today more and more investment capital
comes from millions of people with hundreds of dollars.
Before a potential stock market1^-
investor becomes an actual in-
vestor, he should first ask him-
self three questions:
1. Does he have enough income
for his immediate needs, and
more?
2. Does he have sufficient in-
surance to protect his family?
3. Does he have enough insured
savings or cash equivalent (such
as government bonds) to meet
virtually any unexpected finan-
cial emergency he may face?
If the answer to all three ques-
tion is yes, he may then consider
several types of investment. There
are three major objectives in stock
investment—safety of principal,
liberal dividend income, and capi-
tal growth.
If an investor’s primary objec-
tive is safety of principal (pro-
tecting the money he has), then
he may want to stay out of the
stock market and keep his money
in federally insured savings of
government bonds—considered the
safest of investments.
However, if he is not satisfied
with the return on his savings
or bonds, if he wants a more lib-
eral income or wants his invested
capital to grow at a faster rate,
then he will probably be inter-
ested in stock investments.

Four Atlantic Ships
Transfer To Pac Fit.
Secretary of Defense, Robert
S. McNamara, has announced that
four nuclear powered ships of the
Atlantic Fleet will be transferred
to the Pacific Fleet.
The first two of the four ships
to be transferred will be the air-
craft carrier USS Enterprise and
the guided missile frigate USS
Bainbridge. The expected date of
transfer is October 1965.
The guided missile cruiser USS
Long Beach and missile frigate
USS Truxtun will be transferred
at an undetermined date in 1966.
The transfer involves no
changes in the total naval force
in either the Atlantic or Pacific
areas.
