sients at the Guest House becomes
intolerable?

tion. Problems will be promptly
rectified.
Caller: Why can't the Navy Ex-
change clothing store carry more
medium-sized clothing?
C.A.L.: The NEX stocks more
medium-sized clothing items than
any other size. They just go
faster because there's a greater
demand for them.

ished shopping the other day at
the Navy Exchange my bag of good-
ies wasn't stapled. Why?
C.A.L.: It's a new Navy-wide
policy not to staple bags closed.
Caller: Coming out of the
laundromat the other night, I
stepped on a rock and twisted my
ankle because it was so dark in
the area. Can a light be instal-
led outside the laundromat?
C.A.L.: Public works looked
into the situation and agreed with
you. A light will be installed
outside the laundromat.
Caller: Icelandic contractors
replaced windows im my quarters
but did not clean up the broken
glass. It's a safety hazard. Can
anything be done?
C.A.L.: Public works was in-
formed and immediate action has
cleaned up the broken glass.
Caller: Must I have a spare
tire in my car? Is it an Ice-
landic law?

landic police station, there is no
Icelandic law to that effect.
