WHITE FALCON
Friday, May 21, 1965
SWING YOUR PARTNER—This was the scene that took place at the
high school gym recently when the Keflavik Square Dance Club hosted
the Icelandic Folk Dance Team from Reykjavik.
Icelanders-Americans
Join Hands In Dance
by Nei V. Young, AGCA
The Keflavik Square Dance Club was honored by a visit
of the Icelandic Folk Dance Team from Reykjavik, Satur-
day, May 15, in the Alfred T. Mahan High School Gymna-
sium.
About 16 Americans from the Keflavik Square Dance
Club and 31 Icelander's of the Icelandic Folk Dance Team
attended the festivities.
The purpose of this visit was’^
for the Folk Dance Team to learn
a little about the old American
Folk Dance, the Square Dance. At
the same time, the Square Dance
Club learned a little about Ice-
landic Folk Dances.
Icelandic Folk Dance
The history of Icelandic Folk
Dances dates back several years.
During the Middle Ages it was
forbidden and died out almost
completely by 1850.
In 1951, it was again revived
and on June 17 of that year, the
present Folk Dance Team was
established under the direction of
Sigridur Valgeirsdottir. She rew-
rote and arranged the old dances
and was the group’s first leader
and teacher.
National Dress
The Team’s main objective is
to perform, in full National dress,
the Icelandic Folk dances for
tourists. Besides this, the team
has learned many folk dances of
many other countries.
In 1955 they attended the In-
ternational Folk Dance Meet in
Norway. Another trip was made
to Norway in 1963 when they at-
tended a Folk Dance Meet of the
Scandinavian Countries.
Presently, the Icelandic Folk
Dance Team’s membership in-
cludes over 50 adults and during
the winter months about 100
children.
Special Thanks
Our special thanks goes to the
Lt Gene B. Haynes, operations
officer at U.S. Naval Station’s
Fleet Weather Facility, and presi-
dent of the Keflavik Square
Dance Club and to Miss Helga
Thorarinsdottir representing the
Icelandic Folk Dance Team for
making this get-together possible.
EDITORIAL:
Service Absentee Voting Up;
Still Many Persons ‘Absent’
The Department of Defense (DOD) has recently released a report
on the record of absentee voting by service men and women in the
1964 Presidential election.
At first glance, the statistics are impressive. A little better than
one out of two eligible uniformed voters—51.3 per cent, to be exact—
cast a ballot in last year’s election. This was an increase of 11.8
per cent over the service vote in 1960.
80 To 90 Per Cent Range
A jump of 10 per cent in four years is certainly nothing to be
ashamed of, but there are, we feel, good reasons why the total should
always be up in the 80 to 90 per cent range.
About nine months before election day, the Department of Defense
launched a massive “get out the vote” program in each of the ser-
vices—a program in which the White Falcon fully participated.
Voting posters appeared on posts and bases throughout the world.
Education and Training offices were well stocked with pamphlets
and brochures with full details on how to register and apply for ab-
sentee ballots in each state, possession and territory. The American
Heritage Foundation and the Freedoms Foundation joined the De-
fense Department in the program, sponsoring contests to increase
interest in service voting. And, to top it off, DOD instituted a pro-
gram whereby each serviceman eligible to vote would be personally
delivered the Federal Post Card Application for an absentee ballot.
Everything Available
How simple can it be for a person to cast a ballot? Certainly the
services did everything possible to be sure each of us was aware of
the election, of how important it was for us to vote, and how to
do it once we had made up our minds.
It is our opinion that men and women in uniform should be the
first ones scrambling to get an absentee ballot when election time
rolls around. Why? Because, as members of the armed forces, we
are part of the work force that implements the programs and
policies adopted by our government.

THE WHITE FALCON
U.S. Naval Station Keflavik
White Falcon’s mission—To in-
form and entertain all hands: to
“If the Son Makes You Free”
“O Lord, our Liberator, help us to live as free-born sons, over-
coming in thy power the slavery of sin, and abiding in the felloivxhip
of thy househould through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen”
(Read John 8:34-38)
Two Beliefs
The people of Jerusalem had two strong beliefs: in freedom (“We
have never been in bondage”), and in a goodly heritage (“We are
descendants of Abraham”). Do not Americans have the same beliefs?
And do not the best beliefs go sour? The people overlooked past
bondage to Egypt and Babylon and present bondage to Rome. Jesus
spoke to them of another bondage: slavery to sin. He said they
lacked spiritual kinship to God. This kind of talk they believed, like
some Americans, to be irrelevent.
Defining Concepts
There are many kinds of freedom and bondage and each man,
including the Communist, has his way of defining these concepts.
So we, Jerusalemite, American and Communist may boast that we
are free, and yet we may be bound with many types of shackles.
If there is one slavery for all men it is the slavery of sin. Such
slavery is characterized by its desire to kill the pure, holy and highest;
it has contentment with less than the best. If there is one freedom
we all need it is that which our Lord can provide, “If the Son makes
you free, you will be free indeed.”
You Can Be Free
If you commit sin you are its slave. If you have heard the truth
about yourself from the Lord you can be free, “the truth will make
you free.” You cannot without faith “continue in the house (of the
heritage of freedom) forever.” Freedom and the faith of our fathers
cannot be taken for granted. Today, let Christ’s word of freedom
find a place in your heart.
