Safe Investments
“O ACK in the old days of Tin Pan Alley, songwriters and
lyricists made frequent observations that the happi-
ness for which most people were looking was “Just Around
The Corner” or “Back In Your Own Backyard.”
The same can often be said of investments, those elusive
and important things we all seek in order to improve our
financial status.
Some investments, although they do make money in vary-
ing amounts at one time or another, involve either some risk
or the chance of losing it all.
However, there are safe, sound investments requiring a
minimum of initial capital, yet which still offer a guaran-
teed return.
Fortunately, such investments are immediately available
to us. They’re U. S. Savings Bonds, Freedom Shares and
the Uniformed Services Savings Deposit Program—oppor-
tunities familiar to all of us. They are, in fact, so familiar
to us that we may be inclined to overlook their value in
terms of thrift and sound investment.
That pot of gold “Over The Rainbow” is a nice dream,
but the likelihood of getting “Pennies From Heaven” is very
remote. The returns from small, sound investments are
less spectacular than those offered by many get-rich-quick
schemes, but they are certainly more reliable.
The 4.15 per cent interest paid by U. S. Savings Bonds
doesn’t sound like much until you convert it to dollars and
cents. For example, the $50 Savings Bond you paid $37.50
for in January 1945 was worth $74.56 in March 1967. And
also remember that it’s not only the financial return that
is important, but the security of your investment as well.
Freedom Shares work the same way except they pay 4.74
per cent interest in only 4% years. As for security, they are
just as secure as our Nation.
The Uniformed Services Savings Deposit Program is re-
served for military personnel serving overseas and pays
you back $10 for every $100 you invest, a guaranteed re-
turn you seldom find in any investment.
Remember, “Wishing Won’t Make It So,” but safe, sound
investment of your money in solid savings programs can,
and you don’t have to look very far to find them.
... for the good things in life

CPO Club Invasion
by Lorraine Trest
Last Saturday night the C. P. O.
Club was invaded by witches,
rabbits, gouls, robots and all
sorts of weird creatures as our
Club was turned into the Land of
Hob-goblins. There was a Pot
Luck Supper Sponsored by the
C. P. O. Wives Club. Those on the
committee were Joanne Moore,
Kaye Williams, Terry Walkup,
Mariam Armstrong and Shirley
Ellington.
The food was outstanding as
usual and the Ball Room perfectly
decorated in the Halloween Spirit
with green lights and green table
cloths making it all very Spooky.
The hi-light of the evening
was the parade of costumes which
was lead by the King and Queen
of Spades. We want to thank the
Judges, Chaplain and Mrs. Veryle
Hendrickson, Commander John B.
Stockson, and Doctors Norman D.
Nelson and Russell A. Huffman
for such a good job. Prizes were
given to the persons in the best
Hallowen costumes, the most un-
usual and the most horrible.
Those winning were Zelda Hib-
betts and Chief Williams, Chief
Smith, Chief Hibbetts and Kaye
Williams, Sergeant Jolly and
Yours Truly.
The music was furnished by Su-
per Pumklin and His Gang alias
“The Americans.” As the Wit-
ching hour came upon us we all
said good night and rode away,
some on brooms, some in rocket
ships and then some hopped home.

Do We Have
The Real Thing
Recently many of us went to a clinic and got what was called our
“annual flu shot.” This was done to help prevent the ailment of in-
fluenza from creeping upon us and laying us low during the long
winter months. Of course there were some who felt some impact from
the shot and were affected for a day or so by headaches, slight fever
and perhaps generally not feeling well.
A quotation I read the other day stands out in relation to this.
“Some people have had just enough religion to inoculate them against
the real thing.” The writer was saying that some of us have touched
the Faith a little, but have not given its life charging, peace pro-
ducing, regenerating power the opportunity to work in our lives.
As we consider the Christian Faith do you have just a little in-
oculation or do you have the real thing?

PRIDE in motion

Doing their part
by Larry Williams
A FRIEND TO PARENTS AND
CHILDREN—is Lynne Seamans,
director of the Youth Center on
the Naval Station. Lynne, plans,
organizes and coordinates all
Youth Center activities. During
the summer and especially during
the winter months, up to 130
youngsters frequent the Center to
take advantage of the numerous
recreational activities available.
ROUTING MESSAGES—is the job
of Petty Officer Third Class Bill
Cooper of the Naval Station Mes-
sage Center. Each day a substan-
tial number of these messages
come into the Center where they
must be sorted through and routed
to the proper department. The na-
tive of Hamburg, N. Y. has been
in Iceland since June of 1966.
MAY I HELP YOU—While being
assigned to passenger service,
Seaman Carmen (Skip) Cioffi
finds himself using this phrase
quite often while working with the
passenger service information cen-
ter. Other duties consist of book-
ing flights, setting up the R & R
schedules and greeting people both
entering and departing.
