Big changes coming next year
or Navy movie distribution system
m
There are some big changes in the mill for movie fans at Andrews
Theater.
According to a CNO message received earlier this month, the motion
picture service now being provided to ships and shore activities will
be revised next year. This an- ________________________________________
nouncement nullifies reported
plans for Andrews Theater to be-r
gin charging 25c per movie about
mid-November.
The charges are coming, but
now it is projected for February
1972 instead of next month.
Here's vhat this 25<t will mean
to the viewing public.
The quarter will be split with
half being retained locally and
the other half going to the Bureau
of Naval Personnel to help defray
an additional $2.5 million cost
of the motion picture program.
The program is already costing
$5.5 million. The charge for mov-
ies here will mean that all films
[ade will be made available for
pwlng at Andrews.
Another advantage to the new
ystem is that there will be more
films and newer ones than the pre-
sent program.
Additionally there will be an
increase of 50 percent in the
number of new films available to
the Navy for distribution, and an
additional 1,000 older features
will become available through the
Navy Motion Picture Exchanges.
No door-to-door
school bus services
Many parents have raised ques-
tions whether the school bus can
make door-to-door stops during
inclement weather this winter.
Regretfully, the Transporta-
tion Department cannot do this
because the children would never
get to school on time because of
the extra time involved to make
the extra stops. By the same to-
ken, door-to-doorstops would also
cause children to be extremely
late returning home.
On days when the weather is
severe, parents are asked to es-
cort children to the bus stops
and meet them in the afternoon
when school is over.
Icelandic govt,
changes procedures
for Form 44
It will become easier next
week to remove items from the
base which require a Form 44.
The government of Iceland's
approval of a revised procedures
will allow authorized personnel
to remove Form 44 items from the
base immediately after they are
purchased on base or received
through the U. S. postal system.
Effective Monday (Oct. 25),
personnel holding a residence
pass may take off electrical i-
tems, photographic equipment, pow-
er tools, phonograph records and
recording tapes, and all non-con-
sumable Navy Exchange or mail or-
der items costing more than $10
without having to wait the three
to ten days which has been re-
quired to obtain approval from
the Icelandic Customs Service.
Three copies of revised IDF
Form 5840/44 will be prepared and
taken to the Icelandic Customs
Authorities at the Njardvik Gate
Icelandic Police Station. The
form will be stamped and dated
there. Two copies will be retain-
ed by customs, and the individual
will keep one. With this copy,
