NAVY RELIEF CHECK—Lt Edward H. Hubei, Maintenance and Utili-
tees Engineer, presents a check for $1,802 to Cdr Richard C. James,
commanding officer of the Naval Station. This check is the result of
the Navy Relief drive recently ended at Keflavik.
EDITORIAL
Navy Relief Scores
With Money, Friends
The Navy Relief Society’s annual fund drive ended here in Keflavik
June 6. Through the contributions of the sailors and their many
friends, the campaign was a success.
“Success,” being a relative word indicating merely a general degree
of attainment, this drive could be said to have surpassed even that
word “Success.” Surpassed it, not necessarily in dollars but in spirit
Red Cross Drive
This drive came hard upon the heels of the Red Cross Drive, and
the recent Memorial Drive. For each drive the men were asked to
dig deep for their contributions—and each time they did. At times
comments were overheard such as, “One more contribution and ‘I’ll’
be on relief.” But with this very complaint on their lips, their wallets
were in their hands.
This selflessness which was demonstrated so amply by the military
and their friends in Keflavik was reflected by one individual in
particular—a civilian.
Letter Arrives
It was one of the last donations to come in. It arrived via Icelandic
mail and accompanying the $10 check was this letter:
“I arrived in Reykjavik from Pompano Beach, Florida about two
and a half weeks ago....
“My daughter, and only living child, is married to an Icelander.
They have four children....
“I was recently widowed and have rented an apartment here for
a year to be near them. However, they live on the other end of town,
and, sometimes, it would be very lonely if it were not for the “Armed
Forces Broadcast.” It certainly is a Godsend since I know no one
here and have no knowledge of the language....
“I am enclosing a small check for Naval Relief—wish it could
be more.”
Although this donor wishes anonymity, the knowledge of this
generous act should be shared by all those in Keflavik whose gene-
rosity is reflected by it.
Imagination Dominates Party
As NCO Wives “Ball It Up”
by Myra West
The Reading Room of the NCO Club was the setting of
the Social held June 15 by the NCO Wives Club. Many
“fun” games were played and lovely prizes were presented
to the “victorious.”
The first game—“Pin The Tail On The Donkey” (an
adult revision of a child’s party game) proved to be a good
ice-breaker for the Social. This*
game was won by Lynn Repp
and prize for accuracy was a
“hand-blown” beverage set. The
“booby” prize (an authentic Ice-
landic rock) was won by Jane
Nyeholt.
From Bird-Cage To Nylons
The second game was a test of
our artistic and creative talents.
The tables were laid with various
objects such as construction pa-
per, ribbons, paste, pipe cleaners
and scissors.
Rose Romo won with a very
pretty “bird-in-cage” made from
pipe cleaners and imagination.
Her prize was a Pyrex serving
dish.
The third game was one which
really took a lot of concentration.
Did you ever try putting on nylon
hose with a blindfold on? Sounds
easy, huh? Well, add a thick pair
of leather gloves and it’s almost
impossible!
Prizes And Refreshments
Edie Pilosi must have played
this game before because she won
the first prize of a towel set and
the runner-up prize of a spice
rack. Jane Romano also won a
spice rack.
Pattie Kreischer received a
Pyrex casserole dish for the door
prize.
After the Social we enjoyed the
delicious cake and coffee served
by our co-hostesses, Joan Kozack
and Sandra Frazier.
That’s all till next week. Hope
to see all you NCO wives at the
next meeting. Meetings are held
the first and third Tuesday of
each month.
Ya’ll come!

Gullfoss - Geysir
Tour Slated Sat.
A trip to Gullfoss and Geysir
is planned for Saturday, June 26,
by Special Services. The tour is
scheduled to depart the Viking
Service Club at 9 a.m. and will
return to the Naval Station at
approximately 5 that evening.
The first stop along the itiner-
ary passes through Reykjavik to
Hveragerdi, a region noted for
its abundance of hot springs which
the Icelanders have utilized to sup-
ply many greenhouses. A look
into one of these greenhouses will
show an amazing variety of plants,
fruit and vegetables growing
there.
The tour continues on to Geysii,
where lunch will be served at a
restaurant.
Great Geysir
After lunch, there will be time
to view the Great Geysir and the
many other phenomena of interest
found there. Unfortunately the
Great Geysir is rather “temper-
mental,” and it cannot be guar-
anteed that it will perform to
order, but there are many other
spouting springs, smaller of
course, but none-the-less impres-
sive.
From Geysir, the group will
proceed to Gullfoss or Golden
Waterfall, and the sight of these
falls boiling over into the gorge
is a never-to-be-forgotten sight.
Usually too, there’s a rainbow
over the falls which serves to in-
crease the beauty of the spot.
Skalholt
The next stop along the tour
is a place called Skalholt. In olden
times, when Iceland was divided
into two sections, North and
South—and had two Bishops, this
place was the sat of the Bishop in
the south. The Church which now
stands there is fairly new but is
of architectural interest.
From Skalholt the tour reaches
SkiSaskali where the group can
rest for coffee and cake. This
small ski-lodge is rather pictures-
que and in the winter is very busy
catering to skiers.
After coffee at SkiSaskali, the
tour will return to Keflavik.
For more information concern-
ing this tour call Special Ser-
vices at Ext. 3193/4254.

Center
Lt Robert G. Brown, CHC, USN
In the closing remarks of his first letter to the Christians
in the pagan city of Corinth the valiant Paul admonishes
“Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, live like men,
be strong!” Paul always associated courage and true man-
hood with the Christian profession. He never associated
it with weakness. And he practices what he preached. No
one ever accused the apostle of whimpering or whining
when the going got tough. He always held his head high.
Moral Courage
The highest form of courage in the world is moral
courage, the courage born of high conviction. It is the
bravery to dare to do right, even when such conviction is
unpopular. It is the courage that fearlessly obeys God and
conscience no matter what such obedience may cost.
That sort of manliness is still in the world today. I have
seen men that possessed it wherever I’ve been stationed.
In my months in Iceland, I have met sailors, airmen and
marines who have displayed the sort of courage I’m talking
about. I dare say you have, also.
No Martyr Complex
Thank God for disciplined and principled Christians
who cannot be intimidated by ridicule or scoffing jest or
other means of disparagement. And these men have no
martyr complex. They know it costs something to go
upstream when most men are content to be moral drifters.
But they gladly pay the price—because they have met
the Man who is the source of all true courage.
