The Big Bands
Can Come Back
Ever since the Navy band was
reassigned and removed from
Keflavik, the combos have had
full reign as far as “live” music
is concerned. Here now is a chance
for all those who don’t play elec-
tric guitars to show their talents
on saxophone, trumpet and trom-
bone.
Swing Era Bands
No one can dispute the fantastic
popularity of the great bands of
the “Swing Era,” those of Glenn
Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny
Goodman and Artie Shaw, just to
name a few. Would you like to be
a part of bringing this type of
exciting music to Iceland?
Easy to Learn
The music isn’t difficult enough
to scare anybody off, and the
kicks of playing side by side with
twelve other men is an experience
any musician values greatly. Two
hundred big-band arrangements
are here, arranged just as the
great names of the past twenty-
five years played them. All they
need are twelve brass and reed
men to bring them to life.
Twelve Musicians Wanted
If you’d like to have a lot of fun
in your spare time, and perhaps
receive more than just applause
for your efforts, call Ensign Bren-
neman at Armed Forces Radio-
Television, 4168. Help bring back
the bands.

57th Officer Builds
"Teaching Machine7
First Lieutenant Jon C. Zimmerman, radar officer of the
57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, has designed and devel-
oped a training device to help his men in their work.
Built like a game in a penny arcade, the training aid is a
glass enclosed board with a map of Iceland drawn on it.
In the Northeast corner of Iceland, there is a “Bear” with
NO, IT’S THIS ONE—First Lieute-
nant Jon C. Zimmerman, radar of-
ficer for the 57th FIS, offers a dif-
ferent view than TSgt. Milton
Wright, radar technician in the
Maintenance Department of the
57th FIS. They are giving dif-
ferent views on questions which are
on the training device which
Lieutenant Zimmerman designed
and built for the men in his
department.
a series of arrows leading to it.
A box with 35 multiple choice
questions pertaining to mainten-
ance work sits in the Southwest
corner of the map. The idea is to
answer 16 questions without a
mistake and the arrows which
lead to the “Bear” cover it and
the game is won.
Lieutenant Zimmerman worked
for two months on his brainstorm
before completing it in January
of 1965. With the help of volunte-
ers from the Maintenance Division
and the use of scrap parts, the
project was a huge success.
Lieutenant Zimmerman is from
Waukegan, Ill. and attended col-
lege at the Institute of Technology
in Chicago where he obtained a de-
gree in Electrical Engineering.
He joined the Air Force in June
of 1962 and has been the radar
officer at the 57th since he ar-
rived at Keflavik in August of
1964.
Lieutenant Zimmerman is opti-
mistic about his invention and
says it helps the men’s interest
in their work and improves their
general knowledge of mainten-
ance. The training aid can be used
for all types of work and can make
learning fun.
8>500 Housing Units
To be Built in FY 66
A total of 8,500 military family
housing units are scheduled for
construction following the passage
of the Military Construction Ap-
propriation Act for FY 66 by Con-
gress.
Priority on the new housing
was given to projects intended to
improve the morale and welfare
of military families which are in-
voluntarily separated, living in
substandard housing, or paying
excessive rents.
The Navy will get the bulk of
the new housing, with 3,430 units.
The Air Force will get 3,390 new
units and the Army is to receive
1,680.
The housing will cost approxim-
ately $160,000,000. (AFPS)
