Window breaking,
^ costly proposition
^ Breaking a window can become a
very expensive proposition.
Recreational use of the lawns
located within housing complexes
is encouraged but recently there
have been an increased number of
windows broken by thrown and bat-
ted balls. It must be emphasized
that the offender's parents are
responsible for reimbursement of
such damage but unfortunately the
greater inconvenience is to the
apartment occupant, who in the
case of the thermo-pane double-
glass windows, must experience an
eight week minimum delay prior to
installation of a replacement.
The windows must be made to order
from specific measurements.
Inconsiderate individuals who
continue to pursue .such costly
exhibitions, will only come out
hurting their own pocket.
Four Girl Scout Cadettes were capped and became Senior Scouts in a
ceremony at the A. T. Mahan cafetorium on May 16. Also during the
ceremony 11 Junior Girl Scouts crossed the bridge and participated in
the candle ceremony that brought them into the Cadettes.
fewest Z-grams
Increased service for fleet;
new service for officers
The two latest Z - grams (83 and 84) concern officers and a pilot
program at two U. S. shore establishments.
In Z-gram 83, Admiral Zumwalt recognized the inadequacy of bus and
taxi transportation available to ship based personnel. As a result
of this, • pilot program is being
set up at the naval stations in
San Diego and Norfolk that re-
quires increased transportation to
meet these requirements. The di-
rective even authorizes the ren-
tal of vehicles from commercial
sources to accomplish the purpose
should government transportation
be inadequate or unavailable to
fill the needs. These vehicles
are to be made available for of-
ficial and quasi - official needs
of shipboard personnel.
The Z-gram further states that
the key to improvement of the
situation is the cooperation be-
tween Senior Officers Present A-
float (SOPA) and the shore com-
mand.
Z-gram 84 concerns officers'
fitness reports. Until now an
officer wishing to review his
urecord would have to go to Washi-
ngton in order to get a good as-
Rssment of his overall perform-
ance. Due to the lack of ade-
quate opportunity of many officers
to take advantage of this system
alternate means have been estab-
lished. An officer may now re-
quest a copy of his last five
fitness records. A handling
charge of $1.50 is required by
public law. Written requests ac-
companied by the charge may be
sent directly to BuPers.
ID card only for beer
Qilisted personnel have been
able to purchase beer by the case
at the Navy Exchange beverage
store, since May 12.
Commander Iceland Defense
Forcehas granted approval for all
BB3 residents to purchase cases
of beer. All you need is your
military ID card.
Since the original note, en-
listed men may also purchase beer
at the package store.
