Saturday, July 10, 1965 WHITE FAECON 5 After Hou rs Entertainment Torn* To Whale Bay S latest For July IIS A tour to Hvalfjordur (Whale Bay) is scheduled for July 18, departing from the Viking Service Club at 9 :00 a.m. The tour proceeds, via Reykjavik, to Hvalfjordur. The road follows the curves of the fjord of the way, which makes for a very pleasant drive. Upon the arrival in Hvalfjord- ur, the main point of interest is the whaling- station. Five whalers work out of this station, and see- ing- how the whales are landed and winched up the ramp to be cleaned is extremely interesting. If a whale is being worked on at the station when the bus ar- The Radio Log by “Mick” Spillane. YN3 There has recently been a few changes in our broadcasting. On Sundays one can hear fine pro- grams such as the “Best From Interloehen” at 8:05 a.m. followed by “The Magnificent Montague” at 8:30 a.m. For the lover of fine arts, “Spectrum” has moved from 8:05 a.m. to 1:05 p.m. The music of “Lawrence Welk” can be heard at 4:30 p.m. instead of 1:05 p.m. “Best From Interloehen” This Sunday, Dr. George C. Wil- son conducts the National High School Orchestra in Von Weber’s “Oberon Overture,”.... the Hon- ors Orchestra of Interloehen plays “Concerto In A Minor For Bas- son and Orchestra” by Vivaldi. “The Magnificent Montague” This great show gives one the suspense of grease paint and foot- lights which emphasizes the great- est of Monty Wooley. Monty Wooley plays the part of Edwin Montague who has been living in the past as a Shake- sperian actor. Procurring a great success in a radio show presents a problem for Montague. His ag- grevated wife wants him to re- turn to the legitimate stage. A new series called “World War I” is slated to begin Friday, July 16, at 8:00 p.m. It is not only a fast-moving, action-packed series, but also gives the viewer a better insight into the strategy employed in that World War. The first of the series depicts the “Clash of the Generals.” The failure of both the French and the German in their bids for a quick victory in 1914. The viewer is shown how Ger- many’s “Schlieffen Plan” and France’s “Plan 17,” based on out- dated military concepts actually contributed to the impending dead- lock. Cameras view the generals of both nations; German terror weapons demolishing Liege; French poilus liberating and los- ing the lost provinces of Alsace- Lorraine; and the astonishing French victory at the Marne, won with the aid of the taxicab army. Narrator for the series is Robert Ryan. rives, tourists will stay for about an our to watch the process. After observing the whaling process, sightseers will drive to Akranes where lunch will be served in the Hotel Akranes at approximately 1 p.m. Following lunch, all can tour the town to see the main points of interest. One of these main focal points is the cement factory. There, they not only manufacture cement for home use, but also for export. The main industry in Ak- ranes is fishing however, rather than the cement works. The trip then returns to Kefla- vik, arriving at approximately 5 p.m. For more information on this and other tours, contact Special Services at Exts. 3193 or 4254. Country Singer Jimmy Case; A Hit On Ease Whoopin’ and a-shoutin’ is Jimmy Case and his Cherokees, back aboard the local pubs of the Naval Station. With the big hit they made with the clubbers last trip, they were invited back for a return engagement and readily accepted. They fill the clubs with the big sound of Country and Western as only Jimmy and his group can. Old standards and the very lat- est in Country and Western are played equally by this versatile group and, just to make sure ev- eryone hears just what they like best, they thrive on requests. In the three nights remaining they will play at the tPolar Club tonight and Monday night. Sand- wiched in between on Sunday night is the NCO Club. With only these three nights left, don’t miss them. BY POPULAR DEMAND—After his successful performance at the clubs earlier this year, Jimmy Case with his Cherokees have returned to Keflavik and are currently entertaining the troops. GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!—Pretty girls like these 14 “Melody Maids” from Beaumont, Tex. with their director and coordinator, Miss Eloise Milam (far left), have been entertaining base personnel this past week with song. (Photo by Travelstead, PH3) Melody Maids Entertaining Servicemen At Clubs On Naval Station And H Sites The Melody Maids, a group of fourteen vivacious, energetic young ladies plus a director who has been described as “a petite atom bomb in a hoop skirt,“ have been gracing the Keflavik area for the past week. Their entertainment consists of a wide variety of songs, a hula sideline, an eye-filling pretty picture, and, perhaps their most valuable asset, a big Texas smile that looks a yard wide and at least as deep. Throughout the girls’ long tours and long hours of entertaining they are usually kept going with the admonition, “Keep^ smiling, girls. These boys have been through a lot more than tired and aching feet.” At the end of each show the gii-ls like to sit and chat informal- ly with the servicemen. This is one of the real highlights of the performance. Both the entertained and the entertainers enjoy this portion of the program to its fullest. The Melody Maids were born amid an intercontinental World War II and they strove to do their part to ease the burden of the men fighting it. Today they carry P u on through the ever-present Cold War, still bringing a king- size hunk of warmth and All- American femininity to GI’s of all services stationed away from home. They were first organized as a singing group in 1941 to assist in the war effort by providing enter- tainment for local military men and bond drivers. Not being a professional group, their opera- ting expenses are derived from annual original shows, contribu- tions from individual Maids, with occasional donations from local firms, business men, and civic or- ganizations. Each of the girls have a variety of school activities, home obliga- FRIDAY The Guns Of August—Narrated by Fritz Weaver SATURDAY Matinee—Gunfighters Of Casa Grande—Alex Nicol, Steve Rowland tions, and full or part time jobs.
