Big Vikes are back
The "Big Viking Burgers" are now
available again at the Viking Cafe-

the going thing. Two beef patties, a
triple deck roll and that special

favorite deli meats. They're all a
bargain and are the freshest cold

is 20C.

Woe to the Budweiser drinkers
If you are a Bud or Michelob
drinker and haven't heard yet, there
will be no Bud or Michelob available
for some time. Budweiser breweries
are on strike for an indefinite
period. We're hoping at least one of
our orders was shipped before the
strike, but we won't know for at
least a few more weeks. We tried to
stock up in other brands in anticipa-
tion of the strike.
The Lite is on its way
Our order of Schlitz Lite Beer is
on its way, and we anxiously await
its arrival. We'll let you know as
soon as possible when it will be
available.
NEX and Small Stores to consoli-
date
During the fall of this year,
Small Stores will be consolidated
into the general Navy Exchange opera-
tion as per Department of Defense
Directives. In addition, uniform
changes for all services are being
reviewed in order to determine which
items to stock.
As soon as specific plans are put
together, details will be printed for
your information.
A warm thought
May is an outdoor month with its
beautiful flowers and sunny days.
But there still may be a nip in the
air now and then, which makes a brac-
ing can of soup from your nearest
Navy Exchange vending machine the
ideal warmer-upper. Or, if you pre-
fer something more substantial, try
one of the delicious hot food selec-
tions stocked in the machine. These
items are nearby for your conven-
ience, piping hot and ready to eat.
London Fog Coats
We do not carry London Fog outer-
wear as a regular stock item due to a
limited demand and the unique climate
in Iceland. However, several patrons
have expressed interest in purchasing
this brand and we have obtained cat-
alogs from the manufacturer.
The catalogs are for both the new
men's and women's fall line and can
be obtained at the Special Order
Desk. Anyone wishing to special order
these coats and raincoats must do so
before September 15.

Star Scout
awarded
medal
by AN Bob Herskovitz
An "An Altare Dei" Medal was awarded
to Star Boy Scout Michael D. Molezun Jr.
Sunday for the first time in Iceland by
Rear Admiral Harold G. Rich, Commander
Iceland Defense Force. .
The award is given by the Catholic
Church to a boy scout or a Weblos Cub
Scout who completes the requirements.
Other awards like the "God and Country"
award are given by other faiths for
scouts.
Mike, age 12, who started his scout-
ing back in Louisiana three years ago,
earned the award by completing several
requirements* First he had to obtain ap-
proval from the Parish Advisor, Chaplain
(Commander) Brian E. Kane, who aided
Mike's efforts toward the completion of
his tasks; he completed a series of
reading assignments and some written
work, which had to be logged and turned
in with his application for the medal.
The next step is usually to go on a re-
treat but because Mike is in Iceland he
was given a special assignment: the his-
tory of religion in Iceland. This work
included several photographs.
