Back to school clothing
Summer camping trips have taken
their toll of clothing and footwear—
the vacation months have added in-
ches .
Look into the replenishment stocks
of clothing for boys and girls, the
new rugged styles in footwear.
Weatherproof, waterproof and wear-
proof garments are a "must" for the
Keflavik fall season—and every ship
is bringing in more of the desirable
apparel. In fact, more than $20,000
in men's, women's and children's
clothing will be arriving over the
next three months. The Exchange
Warehouse staff is working feverishly
to receive, mark, and transfer this
new merchandise to the Clothing store
just as rapidly as possible.
Some of the items to look for in
back-to-school outfits are boys' cor-
duroy slacks, dresses, sportswear
separates and knit tops for boys as
well as girls; these are just a few
of the Important items.
Also look for the c*lor-coordi-
nated accessories including girls'
stretchtights and knee-highs, hand-
bags and knit headwear. While you
are looking over the new styles at
the Exchange, don't forget the
basics — underwear, socks, girls'
slips and sweatshirts.
Be sure to stock up on notebooks,
pens, pencils and other school sup-
plies so that your youngsters will be
fully prepared for the new school
year.
Summer clearances are now going on
throughout the Exchange. Look for
the specially marked tables that of-
fer extra values.
A full line of new fall shades in
make-up powders, lipsticks and nail
polishes are now on display at the
Exchange for the fashion, coordinated
look.
Toy!and layaway opens
Toyland layaway opened this week.
Special rules for this area are as
follows:
1. $30 minimum purchase is re-
quired .
2. 1/3 down payment is required.
3. Additional payments to be made
in ensuing months.
4. All merchandise to be picked
up by December 15.
Customer inquiry
When do you expect lightbulbs?
A large shipment is on the Bakka-
foss which should have been off-load-
ed yesterday.
What kinds of panty hose will you
be carrying?
We will continue to carry Leggs as
a regular item. In addition, Hanes
Control Top, Support, and Sandalfoot
will be carried at all times. Oc-
casionally, specials set up by our
main office will be featured on a one
time only basis. Leggs will continue
to be sold in the Main Clothing store
as before and will also be available
in the Mini-Mart as soon as our new
rack arrives.
What's the latest on stereo gear?
Pioneer gear has arrived last
week. Other vendors' shipments are
expected this month.
Men's wear for fall
Coordinates in men's wear, or more
aptly named "separates," is the word
for the fall season. Leisure jack-
ets, blazer tops, matching or con-
trasting slacks with sport or knit
shirt is how the average man will ap-
pear, says a New York buyer.
Coordinate your fall ensembles by
selecting from the many values avail-
able in the men's clothing department
of the Navy Exchange.
Women's outwear
Classic styling in carcoats/jack-
ets is expected to be highly popular
with women this fall. The wrap
should be the number one style, arid
camel might just be the top color.
In rainwear/all weather coats,
even though classic styling contin-
ues, the storm coat influence appears
to be the big fashion news. In ski
wear, the shorter (hip length) par-
kas, for ski or casual wear, will be
the going thing.
The important pant is expected to
be the "bibber," a high-waisted sus-
pender warm-up pant.
Care of potted plants
Many popular plants are offered in
the Navy Exchange Personalized Serv-
ices area. They are easily cared for
and require the following: tempera-
ture—cool location, minimum at night
50-55 degrees; light—sun in the
winter, shade in the summer-prefers
humid air; watering—keep soil moist
but not wet; fertilizer—apply at
half strength every 4-6 months; soil-
common ground soil with plant mix and
with good drainage.
First-class lodgings
Every once in a while, an out-
standing program is developed that
becomes a tremendous morale booster
to military personnel and their de-
pendents. Certainly the Navy Ex-
change -operated Navy Lodge program
fits into this category.
The main purpose of Navy Lodges is
to provide personnel, accompanied by
their dependents, who are under Per-
manent Change of Station orders, a
temporary place to live while locat-
ing or vacating a permanent resi-
dence. Other active duty military
personnel and retirees may be accom-
modated on a "space available" basis.
At the present time the Navy Lodge
is taking reservations for October
and November. Any additional infor-
mation and answers pertaining to the
operation and policies of the Lodge
may be obtained by calling 2210.
Commissary notes
Air to Surface shipments—Since
being required to reduce second des-
tination charges, many items have
been converted to surface shipment
vice air shipment. This has resulted
in several items (onions, eggs, pota-
toes, etc.) not being available at
all times due to late shipment arriv-
als. Air shipment of a limited quan-
tity of these items has been insti-
tuted until surface shipments start
arriving on a timely bases.
Onions have been ordered and
should have arrived on the aircraft
yesterday.
Produce quality
Lately, certain produce items re-
ceived via air shipment have arrived
in an unsatisfactory condition.
These conditions have been discussed
with the Freight Terminal Division in
Norfolk and they are taking steps to
alleviate the problem.
Bread
Two large bread shipments are
overdue. One order was manifested on
the ship that was off-loaded August 4
but this order was not received in
Keflavik. Hopefully, it will be on
the next ship.
Fall jewelry
Jewelry manufacturers predict that
the trend this season will be divided
among the following:
Classic—Tailored jewelry in gold
and silver tones with polished and
textured finishes.
Genuine stones—tiger eye, jade,
dosalite, etc., are expected to con-
tinue in popularity.
Moroccan—this look is especially
strong and "in" and is depicted in
necklaces and bracelets with combina-
tions of bead, cord and chain.
The jewelry section of the Navy
Exchange is the place to visit for
the latest in fashion jewelry.
American beer finally due
Word has it that the pier at Nor-
folk is loaded with pallets and pal-
lets of various American beer.
A large quantity departed Norfolk
Monday and is due to arrive September
10 or 11. There is still going to be
more and we’re expecting it on ships
due later this month.

Evals due
October 1 will mark the start of a
new year for Civilian Health and Medical
Program of the Uniformed Services
(CHAMPUS) outpatient deductible certifi-
cates .
Defense department officials remind
CHAMPUS beneficiaries that deductible
certificates issued for fiscal year 76
(July 1, 1975 - Sept. 30, 1976) will not
be valid after September 30.
The outpatient deductible is the ini-
tial amount a beneficiary must pay each
fiscal year before CHAMPUS assistance is
available for outpatient expenses.
For an individual, the deductible is
the first $50 of authorized outpatient
charges in a fiscal year. A family
group of two or more is not required to
pay collectively more than the first
$100 of authorized outpatient charges in
a fiscal year.
To obtain deductible certificate, a
beneficiary should accumulate itemized
bills or receipts for outpatient servi-
ces during a fiscal year until they to-
tal $50 or more for one patient or $100
or more collectively for a family.
Then, the bills or receipts should be
sent, along with one claim form per pa-
tient, to the organization that proces-
ses outpatient claims for the geographic
area where the beneficiary normally re-
ceives care.
The Naval Station Personnel Office
has requested that all E-7 and -8 evalu-
ations for the period ending Sept. 30
be submitted to the Personnel Office no
later than 10 a.m. Friday so that the
required forms can be typed and submit-
ted to the Bureau of Naval Personnel by
the required deadline.
All E-7 and -8 personnel on station
must be evaluated. If an individual has
been on board for less than 90 days, a
"not observed" evaluation must be pre-
pared, or if it has been less than 90
days since the last evaluation was pre-
pared on an individual, he or she must
still be evaluated as of Sept. 30.
