Navy Exchange
Mobile runs at night
The Navy Exchange Mobile Canteen
is now running in the evenings on
weekdays only. It has established a
temporary route trying to stop in all
areas where workers are on duty.
Some spots may have been missed, so
if you would like the mobile canteen
to stop anytime between 5 p.m. and
10 p.m., please call the Viking Cafe-
teria at 2149 during the day and ask
for Jim.
Product arrivals
Rubbermaid products, shaving
creams cat food, assorted cigaret-
tes, shoes, hair dryers, typewrit-
ers , sweaters, housewares, Omega
tools, BIC speakers, bathroom scales,
rugs and shower curtains have ar-
rived. An excellent selection of
Pewter giftware from International
Silver also has arrived. Check the
selection in the main store.
A review of current top 50 albums
shows 45 out of 50 top titles avail-
able in the record shop.
Toy stocks
We are disturbed by rumors that
toy stocks on hand are all that will
be available for Christmas. Such is
definitely not the case. In fact,
almost $50,000 worth of toys are
still outstanding. New shipments ar-
rive on every ship and are also
coming in from European sources. We
expect that Toyland stocks will re-
main complete and contain merchandise
suitable for all ages and interests.

Laundry "One day service"
Questions have arisen concerning
"One day service" at the laundry.
This service is offered if the gar-
ments are brought into the laundry by
5 p.m. They can be picked up at
3 p.m. the following day. There is a
25 per cent service charge for this
service.
Lodge reservations
Beginning Monday, the Navy Lodge
will be taking reservations for No-
vember.
Bargain in beverages
Have you tried the two new sodas
now available at the Navy Exchange
Beverage Store? Marango and Rum N'
Cola are two new flavors available
only at the Beverage Store. The Ma-
rango is a special savings. You get
30 bottles for the price of 24. It's
like getting a six-pack free. If you
haven't tried it yet, do so soon.
Service Station
Winterization: Winter is soon
coming and to assist you in your win-
ter driving, a checklist of recom-
mended maintenance items follow:
Cooling system—Inspect radiator
pressure cap and all hoses. Replace
all hoses that show any sign of de-
terioration. If there is any visible
indication of radiator rusting, have
the cooling system drained and flush-
ed with radiator cleaner. Install
new thermostat, antifreeze, antirust
and water pump lubricant for more ef-
ficient cooling. In colder climates,
new cars are normally delivered with
permanent type antifreeze in the ra-
diator which does not require sea-
sonal change; however, it's best to
check the coolant level occasionally
in case any leaks develop.
Pulley belts—Inspect fan belt and
auxiliary belts (alternator, power
steering and air conditioning) for
proper tension. Replace if cracking
underneath or rotting is noted. A
worn belt will normally fail during
cold weather. It is cheaper to
"waste" money on a new belt than it
is to have an old one fail at an in-
opportune time.
Lubrication—Change oil, oil fil-
ter, and lubricate chassis. Consult
operator's manual for recommended oil
type, detergent or non-detergent.
Engine tune-up—Have engine tuned
and replace air filter on carburetor.
Windshield wipers—Check wiper
blades for wear. Replace blades if
required. Fill windshield washer
reservoir with windshield antifreeze
solution.
Battery—Clean battery cable. Ap-
ply a solution of baking soda and wa-
ter directly to the battery case to
neutralize acid. Wash clean and add
water to battery if needed.
Tires—Mount snow tires. If
mounting used snow tires, place the
best tires on the front and inspect
twice monthly for uneven wear. If
excessive wear is noted on one side,
the car probably needs a front-end
alignment. Wear predominantly in
center of tread indicates over-in-
flation of tire. Excessive wear on
both sides of tread indicates under-
inflation of tire. Since the Service
Station's air pressure gauges are
frequently inaccurate, car owners
should have a personal gauge and
check tire pressure at least once a
month, and more frequently if chains
are used.
Safety inspection—Make a periodic
safety inspection. Have brake lin-
ings, wheel cylinders, brake fluid
level, transmission fluid level, muf-
fler and tail pipe, front end and
steering, lights and horn inspected
and repaired if required.
The Service Station has many items
and services available to assist you
in preparing your car for winter.
Stop in today and get your anti-
freeze, jumper cables, chains, etc.
and make an appointment for a tune-
up, mounting snow tires, etc. The
Service Station has a very good stock
of snow tires this year. Make an
appointment today for having your
snow tires studded and mounted.
Mounting of snow tires is free for
snow tires purchased from the Navy
Exchange Service Station. Don't
wait for that first snow to fall be-
fore preparing your car for winter—
avoid the rush and do it now.
Mini-Mart parking lot
The work on the Mini-Mart area
parking lot is currently in progress.
It is being expanded considerably to
provide more parking and safer traf-
fic conditions. Work should be com-
pleted very soon.
Parking lot study
A study is underway to improve
parking and traffic conditions at the
main store, building T-39. Consider-
ation is being given to one-way traf-
fic for the parking lot.
Commissary Store
If you are stretching your dol-
lars, take advantage of the sale now
going on at the Commissary Store.
Another dollar saver—from October
5 to October 16 the store will be
celebrating the Navy’s 201st birth-
day .
In the near future we hope to re-
lieve the bread problem. A large or-
der of Wonder Bread should arrive a-
bout the last of October. "OreWheat",
a new line of bread, is due soon.
Bear with us. The empty spaces
you see on the shelves, we hope to
have filled about the middle of Oc-
tober.
Shop now for the upcoming holi-
days .
