DKs checking
SSAN
number
One of the biggest topics of
conversation in recent months has
been about Social Security Ac-
count Numbers (SSAN).
The military services for some
time have been talking of convert-
ing the military service numbers
to the SSAN system.
In preparation for the Navy's
move on this conversion, the lo-
cal disbursing office is now
double checking all SSANs to en-
sure they are correct.
Persons can stop by any time
to have their numbers verified.
This requires an on - sight check
of the cards.
If you have lost your card and
need a replacement, the DKs will
help you obtain one.
Meal times to change
as galley shifts hours
The NATO base will be cutting
hours in galley 755 after six
p.m. on Monday, May 24.
The daily hours will remain
the same. The only change will
be a 10 to 12:45 midrats meal.
There will be no 7 to 11, or mid-
night to 5 meal periods.
Midrats will be for watchstanders
and shift workers only. Each man
must be in uniform, and will have
to present a specially issued
pass, from his division while on
watch or working.
Weekend hours will remain the
same.
This change is to help cut
down on expenses, and to provide
better service at scheduled meal
times.

What have you done for your neighbors?
How many times have you voiced your opinions about living I
here? Have you ever complained? I know I have, in fact
several times; but what have you done about the things you
don't like? Have you tried to find out why they are like
they are, or have you tried to help make life easier on the
station?
In the two years we have been living here, we have seen
some changes and all of these are for the better. The most
important change is the friendships that are being developed
between the Icelandic people and the Americans and their
families.
The scouting program which is becoming more active is
helping the children not only with all the spare hours they
have, but with becoming better acquainted with Icelandic
children. If more adults would volunteer a few hours for
the young people, not only would they be helping to improve
things, but they would make their lives a little better in
the process.
The care that is given by the few doctors and their staff
is really amazing. The most amazing thing seems to be the
way the dependents treat the staff at the dispensary. They
might find a "thank you" or a "please" would really help.
Every week the commissary has a better selection and the
special orders which are being taken are one of the biggest
improvements we have seen. When you stop long enough to
think of the problems which must be overcome to get merchan-
dise here, you will undoubtedly thank the commissary for the
job it is doing.
"I can't find anything in the Navy Exchange," seems to be
the favorite expression on the station. Have you tried the
special order clerk? Have you made a suggestion? Have you
asked yourself if you have given the exchange a chance to
please you? Have you ever gone without any of the things
you needed for very long?
If you think life up here is terrible, ask a few people
who are here on their second tour how much it has improved
and then see how much you can do in your tour here to im-
prove the morale on the naval station. j
