WHITE FALCON
Friday, June 2, 1967
AN EVENING MANY MISSED—The word went out about the Reykjavik Folk Dancers being aboard the
NATO base Wednesday, May 24, and many stationed here missed a splendid performance. There were
28 dancers from Reykjavik dressed in costumes and were joined in by two Canadians from the Golden
Slipper Square Dance Club, Prince Edward Island, two dancers from a Rota Spain club as well as 20
from the Keflavik Squares of the NATO base. Icelandic and American dances both folk and square
were danced with refreshments being served after the dance. The Keflavik Square Dance Club is
growing and every Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. the club meets in the Captain Sparks Rod & Gun
Club of which the public is cordially invited.

THIS WAS POPULAR IN SECOND WORLD WAR—Red Cross Field
Director Leo E. Mize of the NATO base here received a request from
the mother of Petty Officer Third Class Billy F. Winton that he not
be forgotten on his 22nd birthday. Assigned duties with Patrol Squad-
ron TEN, last Sunday afternoon a surprise birthday party was held
for Winton, a native of Beloit, Wis., in his barracks. Attending the
party were other members of his squadron. Parents often requested
the Red Cross during World War Two to have a birthday cake for
their sons serving overseas. This was the first such request to Mize’s
knowledge for this area.

Interest Grows
Locally In
Savings Program
Interest aboard the NATO base
in the Uniformed Savings Deposit
Program among military mem-
bers here continues to grow it was
learned last week.
Participation is limited to over-
seas military personnel on active
duty. Savings draw 10 per cent
annually, compounded quarterly,
on account balances up to $10,000.
One must be stationed overseas
for at least six months to qualify
for the program.
Since the program started six
months ago, over a million dol-
lars in interest has been earned
by military members.
“This is one of the best savings
program existing today,” said
one individual making applica-
tion.
Monthly deposits may not ex-
ceed the member’s unallotted pay
and allowances. Savings continue
to draw interest up to 90 days
after the individual arrives back
in the United States.
Deposits can be made by allot-
ment or by cash payments in
multiples of $5. The Accounting
and Finance Center in Denver is
banker for the program for Air
Force personnel while for the
Navy it is the Navy Finance Cen-
ter, Cleveland. These bankers fur-
nish each depositor with quar-
terly statements showing deposits
and interest credited to his ac-
count.
