With winter over, it's time to think
of summer car care. Your Navy Exchange
Service Station has products you need
to bring out the best in your car.
Items featured at the station are: Car
wash, wax remover, chrome polish, as-
sorted brands of cleaners and waxes,
rubbing compound, upholstery cleaner,
polishing cloths, sponges and chamois.

tires aren't what you expected, the Navy
Exchange Service Station has the follow-
ing tires in stock and the price
right: J-78-15 H-78-15 H-78-14

Budweiser strike continues
We recently received a letter from
our Budweiser representative which told
of the long strike the Budweiser brew-
eries are having. As of now no agree-
ment has been reached and there was no
expected time when they would begin
operation. He did say, however, that
overseas military locations would re-
ceive priority when the strike was over.
In the mean time, we are trying to pro-
vide as much as we can to compensate for
the shortage of the Anheuser-Busch pro-
ducts. The high increase in sales of
other products have greatly depleted
our stocks and we anticipate running out
of all brands of American beer. We are
ordering and receiving foreign beers in
hopes that you will enjoy these in place
of our American beers.
New from the Vending Department
We have recived the new vending ma-
chines that have been on oder. We now
have some extra machines available for
the dispensing of soda, beer, candy,
cigarettes and hot food. If you need
a vending machine, please call the Ven-
ding Manager at 7107.
Suggestions and comments on our ser-
vice are welcome. Machines that are
out of order should be reported by
calling 7105 or leaving your name on
the paper provided and attached to the
machine.
Mail orders
Mail order concerns are now required
to fill orders within 30 days or offer
to refund their customer's money. The
Federal Trade Commission has issued a
rule that went into effect in January
1976 which covered most merchandise sold
by mail, with certain exceptions such as
magazines, photofinishing and C.O.D.
orders.
The customer must also be furnished
with a post card calling for cancella-
tion if the order is not filled in the
allotted time, According to a study
reported in Advertising Age, in-home
buying of general merchandise totaled
$15.2 billion last year and more books
were sold by mail than in retail shops.
Recognizing the increased sophis-
tication of customers, the Sears,
Roebuck Company has brought out its
catalog in a new format that presents
information about the products for sale
in simple descriptive terms, omitting
flowery language for the most part.
Their big question is: "Will this mat-
ter of fact approach to merchandising
sell products."
Fashion safety
Among the many products sold at the
Navy Exchange are clothing and jewelry.
As in the commercial sector, a good por-
tion of what we stock and sell is in-
fluenced by style trends. Within the
guidelines of social acceptance, we do
not attempt to make judgments on what
is currently popular.
We would like to make our customers
aware of the potential hazards of some
of the contemporary styles.
Safety experts have pointed out a
number of clothing items that are not
suitable for driving: Shoes with non-
flexible soles, such as clogs; charm
bracelets, dangle jewelry or large
ornate rings that can catch car keys,
shift levers, seat belts, etc; gloves
with slippery palm surfaces; scarfs and
floppy hats that can obscure vision;
and sunglasses while driving at night or
on a shaded street.

The Westmann Islands suddenly became
the focal point of the world in 1973
when one of the biggest volcanic erup-
tions of this century occurred.
Heimaey, the only inhabited island of
the group, had more than half its town
covered in lava and volcanic ash. The
hospital, library, swim center, fish
factory and 417 dwellings were totally
buried.
Today a visit to the Westmann Islands
is a fascinating journey. One can see
man triumphing over nature when viewing
the 100 new homes, the constant work at
removing lava ash from fertile green
hillsides and the new harbor which de-
veloped .
In the Westmanns there is a museum
with an aquarium on display. A motor
trip around the island will find every-
one picking up rocks as souvenirs. The
earth is still hot when digging only a
few inches down and three feet down it
can be more than 1500 degrees Fah-
renheit .
One may fly to the Westmann Islands
any day of the week throughout the sum-
mer, and the tour office sponsors a day
tour which costs $34 and includes air-
fare, motorcoach sightseeing tour, a
visit to the museum and aquarium and
lunch at the hotel. For the Memorial
Day weekend there are seats blocked on
May 29, 30 and 31. Call the tour office
at 4200 or 5111 for further information.
