U.S. SAVINGS BANDS
Dollars Make More Cents
Investment in U. S. Savings Bonds has always been at-
tractive for service men and women. Payroll savings plans
that provide for automatic deduction, regular interest, and
known security have drawn thousands of military personnel
into bond buying programs.
Now, Savings Bonds are a bet-'
ter investment than ever. Interest
on Series E and H Bonds has
been increased from 3.75 to 4.15
percent. Under the increased in-
terest a $100 Series E Bond, cost-
ing $75, can be redeemed for its
face value after only seven years.
In making the announcement of
increased bond interest, President
Johnson called bonds “the most
important investment that any
American can make.”
The president said, “The Sav-
ings Bond Program is both pru-
dent and patriotic. It is prudent
because it strengthens the secu-
rity of your own family. It is
patriotic because it strengthens
the economy of our country, it
supports our fighting men in Viet-
nam ....... and it supports the
cause of our freedom everywhere
in the world. It helps to preserve
the buying power of our Ameri-
can dollars.”
With the increase in bond in-
terest, service men and women
should give serious consideration
to joining or increasing their in-
vestment in the Savings Bond
Program. It’s a sound investment
in yourself and your country.

Toastmasters
Elect Officers
During a recent meeting the
Vulcan Toastmasters Club of
Keflavik held elections to select
new officers for the forthcoming
term.
Competition
was keen but the
outcome of bal-
loting showed
Raymond
Murphy winning
the presidency,
Gudni Jonsson,
the educa-
tion vice presidency, Richard Se-
well, victor for the administrative
vice presidency, Ori Fiume as
secretary-treasurer, and Gilbert
Green, the selected sergeant at
arms.
The officers-elect will assume
their six-month posts at the gala
and festive installations dinner
on April 2, 1966. What promises
to be a highlight of the installa-
tions dinner and meeting will
show the finals of the speech con-
test with the choice of a winner
for the Best Speaker Award.
Junior Officers
(Continued from page 1.)
advisors and assistants, communi-
cations officers, operation con-
trol center officers, harbor clear-
ance units, Swift boat O-in-C’s,
squadron staffs, harbor defense
control officers, MSTS representa-
tives and many more.
Officers wishing to volunteer
their services for duty in the Viet-
nam area should so indicate on
their preference card, or by sub-
mitting an official request via
their commanding officer with the
endorsement to include a state-
ment on their availability and
whether a contact relief is re-
quired.
Initial Reason
The initial call for volunteers
was in response to immediate re-
quirements and resulted in offi-
cers receiving orders with virtu-
ally no lead time. However, with
billet requirements now essenti-
ally stabilized a volunteer may be
issued orders with adequate time
provided for preparation for over-
seas movement.

“THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY”
What does it mean to be a “Christian”? Perhaps a few wrong
impressions can be erased by indicating what Christianity is not.
Christianity, for example, is not just living according to an estab-
lished set of rules or ethical principles. To be a Christian involves
more than belonging to a certain Church or being a part of a “Chris-
tian” society or culture. It involves more than attending church ser-
vices on Sunday and partaking of the sacraments or ordinances of
the Church.
Standards For A Christian
A Christian certainly should have a lofty ethical standard; he
should belong to the Church of his choice; he should attend the ser-
vices of his local church regularly and partake of the holy ordi-
nances as Christ commanded. But none nor all of these things pro-
vide the essence of Christianity.
Christianity is essentially and above all a vital, living relationship
with God through Christ and then allowing Christ to control our
entire existence — on week days as well as Sundays.
Christianity—Pattern Of Living
Yes, indeed, Christianity is more than a pattern of living, it is
Life itself. A one-time enemy of Christ (who had always been “religi-
ous”) wrote concerning his life after his conversion to Christianity
in these words: “Old things are passed away, behold all things are
become new.” II Corinthians 5:17.
Christ will revolutionize your life if you will allow him to. But
don’t take my words for it. Give Christ himself a chance to prove
what Christianity really is.
