A Word to the Wives
by Dorothy Byrne
Are you a bored young housewife with no children and
no job? Men, are you weary of sitting around the bar
at the club or looking at the four walls of your room?
Are you looking for something that is fun to do? Are you seeking
something constructive to do for ____________________________________
Keflavik base? Then gather
around and listen! Whether you
are a school teacher, a house-
wife, a BEQ or BOQ resident, or a
high school student, this may be
your thing!
Mrs. Teresa Pasek has come up
with a great idea. She suggests
beginning a Little Theater group
here in Keflavik.
Now you don't have to be an
actor to join in a Little Theater
group. Some of you men may enjoy,
building things. You could offer
your talents for set building.
Some of you are budding artists.
You could paint the backgrounds.
Some of you love to sew. You
could design costumes.
Would you like to be a promp-
ter, a lighting technician or a
stage hand? Can you direct? Do
you have musical talents? Do you
have a play or two you've written
hidden away under your pillow?
Would you like to be the makeup
man or woman? Would you like to
gather props? Do you like to or-
ganize and co-ordinate things?
Then, hop over to your tele-
phone and call Mrs. Pasek at 8649
after 5 p.m. If you answered
that last question about organiz-
ing, call right away. She would
appreciate your help in getting
the group started. If you have
no experience, don't fret. This
is your chance to learn.
What could a Little Theater
group do here at Keflavik? Won-
derful things! Mrs. Jean Johan-
sen has indicated that she would
welcome your guest appearances on
her "Coffee Break" TV show.
Surely your children would look
forward to a monthly children's
theater production either live at
the Youth Center or Andrews Thea-
ter, or on TV.
Best of all, if you get toge-
ther and organize now, you will
be an operational pool of talent
when our local TV station gets
video tape capability this sum-
mer . Who knows, ladies, you may
even develop your own local soap
opera.
So stop feeling sorry for
yourself and join in the fun. Put
your hidden talents to work to
help build something construc-
tive . If you think this may be
your thing, call Mrs. Pasek at
8649 today.

Last week's column stated that
admission is free at the Aquarium
at Hafnarfjordur. Actually, the
statement was wrong, because
there is an admission fee, so I
suggest that you bring some kro-
nur with you.
QUESTION: What do you think
of Admiral Zumwalt's Z-Grams, and
which one is your favorite?
WHERE ASKED: Navy Exchange
Lobby
BENNETT
RICE
• AWAN Larry Bennett, ComFair-
Kef: "It would be the one about
leave time you are allowed before
going overseas or the one about
hair cuts---or perhaps this new
one, 102, about tours of the
bases and the troops looking
sloppy." A
• LCpl. Gary Rice, Marine Baifl
racks: "I think they are pretql
good and fair to the serviceman.
I think the regulations are very
fair. I don't really have a par-
ticular favorite."
HALL
REAVES
• Sgt. Robert Hall, 57th FIS:
"I think he's got a good idea
going to get the opinion of the
people. I can't say I have a
particular favorite. I think the
Air Force should take some of his
ideas and push them a little
bit."
• SSgt. Stan Reaves, 57th FIS:
"Truthfully, some of them are
good, but some aren't. They want
to liberalize the hair, which is
decent, but how far do you wantj
to carry it? Some guys look go«
but some guys look wild. Th^
just don't take care of it."
NEXT WEEK'S QUESTION: Do you
think the drug problem in the
military is exaggerated?
