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.

and other tours, contact Special

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.

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

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
