O WitfeA
Club Weu?A
by Ruth Haines
Come one, come all! Come to
New York World’s Fair without
leaving Iceland! This is the theme
of the Wives Club luncheon next

is being planned by the IDF wives
and includes a trip to the fair on
film. Make your reservation be-
fore noon, June 14, by calling

Hospital and weighed in at 6 lb.,

The Gospel Echoes
Scheduled June 16
Coming next week an unusual
and rare treat is in store for
personnel on base. Tentatively
scheduled to arrive at U. S. Naval
Station, Keflavik, Iceland, June
16 for a week’s engagement are
the Gospel Echoes sponsored by
Special Services.
Called “The most beautiful
music in America”, by one writer,
the songs of the Gospel groups
such as the Gospel Echoes form
some of the best of “brown bread
music”.
The Gospel Echoes were formed
in 1960 and have achieved an envi-
able status in the field of Gospel
music. They are part of the
ever growing and popular revi-
tilizations of the field of religious
folk music.
The gospeleers form a trio of
dedicated artists as those in other
musical fields. Each member, an
individual artist in his own right,
contributes to the whole to bring
the “best of gospel music”.
Singing tenor and playing the
piano and accordian is Shirley
Bivens; Dottie Rambo sings alto
and plays lead guitar; and Buck
Rambo sings lead while playing the
rhythm guitar. Shirley does most
the trio’s unusual arrangements.
The trio travels constantly some-
times over 1,000 miles per week
and appear at gospel singings to
conventions bringing warmth and
a peace of mind wherever they go.
Scouting Year Ends:

The Brownies and Girl Scouts of the Naval Station enter-
