WHITE FALCON

Au Courant
by SSgt. Don Watkins
Heard a good one on MSgt.
James B. C. Wells, retention NCO
for Air Forces Iceland, recently.
Seems he sent home for an extra
pair of fatigues and only received
the top part. Bet it gets cold
wearing them, but then he says
he got a pound of his favorite
candy with the top.... so!....
Probably have to hide out for a
week after that one.... Lots of
old hands are getting ready to
DEROS in the near future, hut
the top story seems to be about
SSgt. William A. Conrad of base
supply. “Someone” told me that
he was going to DEROS his fa-
vorite rock with him....Would
you believe it?....TSgt. John
Trombetti wants to rent a tele-
vision set for 60 days; got one
available? Call him at Rockville
ext. 25.... Help.... There have
been recent changes in dependent
travel policy; better check with
TSgt. Jack Frazier, AFI person-
nel, before any pending move....
The February issues of Airman
magazine is one of the best in re-
cent months. It contains many
sidebars of interest to all Air
Force personnel; recommended
reading is the lead feature
“Maintenance Men Kept Us Fly-
ing” and “Vignettes From Viet-
nam”. .. .ORCHIDS this week to
the CPO Club; its employees did
a beautiful job at the dining-in
held there Monday night. ...
ONIONS to those drivers who
consistently drive too fast and
won’t give a pedestrian a bit of
leeway... .Notice the Air Force
is looking for more helicopter pi-
lots; plan to triple the current
training rate. Most will be re-
cruited from fixed-wing ranks
.... The last four Boeing B-47
Stratojets assigned to Strategic
Air Command have been retired
to the storage area at Davis Mon-
than AFB, Ariz... .Ends a long
time for the old SAC backbone.
SUN AND FUN—The publi-
city man evidently was too
excited to give us the name
of this pretty Miss sunning
herself beside a Las Vegas
pool.
JuM /l fit went Please
Unless you’ve been up North somewhere trying to track
down that crazy bird of paradise that’s been flying up every-
one’s nose, you’ve probably noticed many of the changes
which have taken place in Armed Forces Television during
this column’s absence.
“Shotgun Slade” and “M-Squad” are no longer with us,
and “Riverboat” has been placed^
in drydock.
Pitching in during the interim
were “Mr. Adams and Eve,” “Bob
Cummings” and the “Desilu Play-
house” from our film library.
We’ve gained a “monster” of a
good new show in the “Addams
Family.” In the Addam’s family
tree are the most popular assort-
ment of creatures since Franken-
stein, and you’ll meet them all
Tuesday night at 7:30 on Chan-
nel 8.
With a number of shows being
rescheduled for more convenient
viewing, our TV schedule will take
on a new appearance starting this
Sunday.
The most significant change
will be the addition of two live
shows originating in Studio “C.”
Sunday’s at 8:30 will now be
“Charade” time, in a show built
around the ever-popular parlor
game. On Friday evenings we will
be offering a new, and we hope
different, approach to late even-
ing entertainment from 11 to mid-
night. Featuring all local talent
and refreshing ideas, host Ens
Bill Brenneman hopes you’ll be
watching “Around Midnight.” For
you late movie addicts, “Northern
Lights Playhouse” follows the
show.
Ed Sullivan’s “really big shoe”
immediately follows “Charade” at
9 Sunday evening, and is follow-
ed up by a newcomer to our
schedule, “What’s My Line” with
perennials Arlene Francis, Ben-
nett Cerf and host John Daly.
“Survival,” a program of endur-
ance, has ended its long Channel
8 run, and in its Monday’s at 8
slot will be the “King Family.”
Somebody said “Let’s split!”
and so “Shindig” will be split up
and each of its two half hours
aired separately, Wednesday’s and
Friday’s at 6:30, causing Hans
Conreid to run his “Fractured
Flickers” at 6:30 Monday’s. That
half-hour just before the “World
Report” on Tuesday’s will belong
to “Andy Griffith.”
“F.D.R.” has been changed to
8 on Thursdays, and the linguisti-
cally inclined can watch for
“Language in Action” at 5 on
Saturdays.
To change the subject: we are
sincerely glad to hear that so
many people enjoyed the “Toast-
master Show.”
Toastmasters take a bow—you
too, Mike Greenman!
tfloMe pntiieu}
A. Sands of Kalahari—Stuart Whitman, Stanley Baker and Susannah
York. A drama about four people standed in the desert after their
plane crashes. This is the story of their survival.
B. The Great Race—Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood.
A comedy where villainous Lemmon is trying to best Curtis with
little luck. So he challenges him to a race from New York to Paris
with reporter Wood following.
C. The Golden Goddess of Rio Beni—Pierre Brice and Gillian Hills.
One woman and a group of men travel up the Amazon River in search
of a lost treasure in this adventure drama.
D. Mark of the Tortoise—Hildegarde Neff and George Gotz. Another
in the James Bond type movies where a women killer finds her victim
dead before she reaches him and she becomes the hunted.
E. To Kill a Man—Gary Lockwood, James Shigeta and Linda Ho. Set
in Vietnam, Lockwood plays a young Marine lieutenant who develops
a strong friendship with a Vietnamese officer but finds out that he
Where
and
When
by Ed O’Donnell, JOS
(This is a first in a series of
weekly articles entitled “Where
and When" about the happenings
in and around the Keflavikf
Reykjavik area.)
Last Saturday and Sunday the
first lady of the jazz world, Ella
Fitzgerald, appeared in a series
of four concerts in Reykjavik.
Backed by the Jimmy Jones
Trio, who formerly appeared with
the late Nat King Cole, Miss
Fitzgerald displayed her talents
in the same manner that has en-
raptured audiences for more than
30 years.
Ella’s Repertoire
Among her repertoire of swing
and blues were contemporary
themes such as “Wives and Lov-
ers” and old standards like
“Sweet Georgia Brown.”
In closing her 60-minute vocal
visit to Iceland she brought down
the house with “Mack the Knife,”
in the style that has spelled enter-
tainment and showmanship to
people throughout the world. Her
encore of “It’s Wonderful” closed
the show, and left the audience
reluctant to call it an evening.
Showbiz People Stop Here
The chance to see some of the
greats of show business often
comes to personnel stationed here
as Reykjavik is often scheduled on
European tours.

tainment follow the White Fal-

IDF Teamwork Does The Job
IT’S RIGHT HERE, PARAGRAPH
E—SSgt. Fredrick L. Gandy, 38, is
an Air Force legal technician. He
processes claims, assists in income
tax forms, and is an expert on the
UCMJ. As shown here, the Manual
for Courts Martial 1951 for him is
required reading. The Bessemer,
Ala, sergeant is a veteran of 16
years service, only 1 month in
Keflavik, though. He says after
his 20 he’ll either finish college
under the GI Bill or be a claims
adjuster.
NOT TOO FAST—Towing a heli-
copter is delicate work, a little too
fast and crunch! Paul B. Wegmuel-
ler, AMSAN, of the OMD Line is
very aware of this fact. His daily
duties require him to move many
types of aircraft. The 24-year-old
airman is from Hollywood, Calif.
He’s been in the Navy over four
years and over a year of that in Ice-
land. He plans to go back to the
Bible College of Los Angeles after
his Navy obligation is fulfilled.
NEVER OVERCHARGE—Oper-
ating the cash register at the
Viking Restaurant is just one of
many tasks performed by Thomas
J. Waters, CSC. The 45-year-old
chief is manager for the Viking,
Andrews Theater, and the mobile
canteen. He’s a veteran of 20 years
Naval service, 20 months of that
in Kef. A native of Newport, R. I.,
he plans to continue in the manage-
ment field in the Los Angeles
area after he leaves the service.
