DISPLAYING CLOTHING—Mrs. Joan Sullivan of the Officers’ Wives
Club and Mrs. Betty Keener of the Non-Commissioned Officers’ Wives
Club hold some of the clothing articles found at the Naval Station’s
Thrift Shop (T-101). The new shop officially opened April 8. The
Thrift Shop is operated jointly by all three wives clubs. Not present
for the photo was Mrs. Mabel Jones of the Chiefs’ Wives Club.
Thrift Shop Opening
Result Of Helpful Idea
I once was a cold, empty and lonely Quonset hut only
a few weeks ago. People would hurry and scurry by without
even noticing me.
I had a real personality complex, until one day my in-
sides began pounding with the sounds of hammers, nails
and saws. My holes were patched up and my insides re-
ceived a new coat of paint.
Then, men filled me up with'*>
shelves chock full of articles, fixed
my heaters and my whole
received new lighting.
I felt rejuvenated!
What was this all about?
body
Big Day Comes
Then, April 8, the skipper of
the base where I reside, Capt
Robert R. Sparks, commanding
officer of the U.S. Naval Station,
Keflavik opened up my doors in
a ribbon cutting ceremony.
People clattered around inside
me. Mothers sampled my shelves
and racks of clothing and I could
hear the pitter-patter of children’s
feet.
I felt needed, wanted!
Finally, I found out what I was
and how it all came about.
I was the Naval Station’s first
Thrift Shop (T-101)! Inside my
doors I have clothing items for
men, women and children donated
by personnel on base.
How It All Came About
These wonderful things hap-
pened to me all because of a
Beneficial Suggestion thought up
by Lt Edward H. Hubei, main-
tenance and utilities officer of
Public Works, and his wife, Anna.
After the suggestion was ap-
proved, the ladies of the Officers’,
Chiefs’ and Non-Commissioned Of-
ficers’ Wives Clubs were kind
enough to keep me running and
well-stocked.
I also found that my inside fix-
tures, shelves, heating and light-
ing systems were installed by vo-
lunteers of the maintenance and
utilities division during their off-
duty hours.
Find Time—Stop Down
Now. I can stand proudly beside
my next door neighbors, the Main
Snack Bar (T-100) and the Li-
brary (T-102).
If you stop down and see me,
I’m sure you can find a good buy
among my shelves and racks. And
besides, I like people.
I’m open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday and 10
a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

International Concern
These headquarters staffs com-
plement each other, cooperating
in matters of mutual concern. The
national and international staffs
are adjacent to each other in a
headquarters complex in Norfolk,
his Atlantic Command and Fleet
staffs being integrated for greater
administrative and operational ef-
ficiency.
Two distinct ceremonies are
scheduled to be held today when
Admiral Moorer formally relieves
Admiral Smith. The first cere-
mony will be held in the gymna-
sium on the CINCLANT com-
pound at 2:30 p.m. Admiral
Moorer will then read his North
Atlantic Treaty Organization or-
ders appointing him to succeed
Admiral Smith as NATO’s Su-
preme Allied Command Atlantic.

Club fleted
by Ruth Haines
The members of the “0” Wives
Club recently enjoyed an interest-
ing talk at the last monthly
luncheon, presented by the Bar-
Lant wives. The guest speaker,
Miss Randvig Thomasdottir, also
showed beautiful slides and mov-
ies of the land of Frost and Fire.
In place of the regular luncheon
next month, the U.S. Embassy
wives have invited the “O” Wives
Club to be their guests in Reykja-
vik on Wednesday, May 19. More
information will be given on a
later date as to transportation,
ect. Reservations may be made
now by calling Fran Snow, 7164
or Muriel Merrow, 2157.
Another call has gone out from
the cookbook committee for more
recipes, so let’s get busy and see
if we can’t have them within the
next several days. Marge Sparks
or any member of her com-
mittee will be more than happy
to receive them.

An amazingly high percentage of the patients attending
the outpatient clinic at this Naval Station Hospital are
overweight. The weight control clinic for military per-
sonnel is held at 1 p.m. each Thursday. Attendance at this
clinic is far below the number of actual military personnel
whose weight exceeds the Navy Specifications.
Weight control clinic for fe-®
males is held at 1 p.m. each Mon-
day. Although attendance here
exceeds that of military personnal,
it is still much less than the num-
ber of overweight females present
on this base.
Early Death Linked To Obesity
In the last decade, much in-
formation has been obtained
through scientific research rela-
ting the problem of obesity to
earlier death from cardiovascular
disease. The incidence of hyper-
tension (high blood pressure) and
heart attacks at a young age,
particularly in males, is signifi-
cantly higher in those who are de-
finitely overweight.
A very popular misconception
among many people is that obesity
is caused by a “glandular misfunc-
tion” in the body. The gland most
frequently labeled as the culprit
is the thyroid gland.
Problem Of Keeping Slim
The doctor is often told by an
overweight female that she has
had a “problem keeping slim”
since her teenage years because
she has had an underactive thyroid
gland. She will go even further
and tell him that she had had to
take thyroid extract for years to
change this condition. However,
she remains overweight.
The simple cause of obesity in
99% of the general public is over-

eating. If one takes in more food
than his body uses up in the ener-
gy required to maintain itself,
this food will be changed by the
body into fat which is deposited
throughout the body.
Calories Count
Calories do count. If the major
portion of ones diet is composed
of fats, which have a calorie
content more than twice as great
as proteins or carbohydrates, his
daily calorie intake will obviously
be increased. However, no one
wants to keep a calorie chart in
front of him at all times and look
up each food to see whether he
should remove that food from his
diet.
What then, is the answer to
keeping oneself “slim and trim”?
Navy’s Rigid Specifications
The U.S. Navy has rigid speci-
fications based on age and height
for determining what ones weight
should be. If you do not meet
these specifications, your appli-
cation for reenlistment will not
be approved. It is, therefore, ne-
cessary to learn of a simple meth-
od of controlling ones weight.
“Crash” and “fad” diets are
not the answer. Even when ex-
tremely overweight people are
placed in the hospital and main-
tained on water and coffee with
vitamin and mineral supplements,
they will seldom lose weight ra-
pidly.
Program Of Physical Exercise
A daily program of physical
exercise is only part of the ansver.
By exercising, ones calorie ex-
penditure is increased. However,
his appetite is also increased by
vigorous exercises.
The main reason for advocating
daily physical training is that, al-
though one’s weight may not be
significantly decreased through
exercising, his muscles will en-
large and develop better tone. The
fat which has been deposited in
the body tissues will by exercises,
be converted into protein of mus-
cle tissue. This will improve ones
physical appearance even though
his weight might not be greatly
reduced.
Do Not Starve Yourself
Skipping breakfast, eating very
little for lunch, and making ones
main meal the evening meal is
not the answer. One’s greatest
energy expenditure is during the
morning and afternoon, while ac-
tively at work. If you starve your-
self during the day while at work,
and come to a large evening din-
ner, the greatest calorie intake
will be at night.
As one tends to lead a more se-
dentary life is the evening, and
sleep at night, the calories taken
in at dinner will be only partially
used to maintain the body and the
remainder will be stored as fat.
