I am very interested in the arts and hope that some in- formative articles are written. I would be particularly interest- ed in hearing about coming exhib- its of Icelandic art, the location of art galleries and the location of stores carrying art supplies. And what about the base having an art exhibit? I'm sure that there are many talented people on this base, both personnel and de- pendents, and also people who would like to see their work. I liked his statement, "I will make laughing stocks of those The White Falcon U. S. NAVAL STATION KEFLAVIK, ICELAND CAPT Lloyd H. Thomas Commanding Officer CDR A.N.

Also, I don't agree with many of today's critics. I still con- sidered even Andy Warhol's soup cans as art. Good luck,Ken. Mrs. Barbara A. Dixon Haphazard mobile canteen Dear Editor, At times the exchange operates a mobile canteen. At times the exchange does not operate a mobile canteen. Being curious as to why, I called the exchange office several times and was told the driver was sick. It seems he is sick quite a lot. What I would like to know is why the exchange doesn't have a driver to fill in for the sick man. What does the exchange in- tend to do if the present driver dies? Sell the truck? I know it sounds ridiculous to depend on a haphazard schedule of a "roach coach" for lunch, but there are people in AFI who do, and we would sure like to see the service improved. Sincerely, SSgt. Robert L. Grigsby and your hungry readers Doors to be replaced Occupants of Quarters 1052-A through 1087-F and 1005—A through 1008-F are advised that work will begin the week of February 8 to replace all outer doors of their Quarters. For those families living in four-bedroom units it will be necessary to have someone present while work is completed. These occupants will be notified in ad- vance of the time the contractor will begin work. Completion of the 300-door project depends on the weather. Warming trend February signals the arrival of warmer weather...really. This month, as the daylight hours in- crease, a seasonal warming trend begins. The average temperature in- creases one degree Fahrenheit in the month of February. In spite of this warming trend, the lowest temperature on record at Keflavik, one degree above, was recorded in February 1969. There is a slight increase in precipitation, and increasing fog causes a decline in good flying conditions.
