Navy Exchange
by CoII*«k F«ck»«r
Washington's Birthday
Whether or not "George" threw a
silver dollar across the Potomac
doesn’t influence the dollar value at
the Keflavik Navy Exchange.
The exchange will celebrate his
birthday with a ship load of spe-
cials. Many useful items will be
featured and customers will be of-
fered discounts on selected merchan-
dise such as household detergents,
bleach, shampoo, toothpaste, tissues,
and deodorants. Don't be left out on
a limb, shop the Navy Exchange Thurs-
day through Feb. 19 and save your
dollars.
Party Pert Platters
Party Pert Platters, successful
during the holiday season, are still
available at the Viking Cafeteria.
If you're having a party, let the
Viking do the work. Four varieties
of platters provide you with just the
right kinds and amounts of food to
make your party a success.
Delicatessen assortments
One of the finest assortments of
cold cuts and fresh cheeses is at the
Mini-Mart deli. If you have had a
craving for making a super sub, the
deli has the items you need. How
about that "Dagwood" sandwich people
crave before bedtime? The assortment
of meats and cheeses makes Dagwood
Bumstead himself envious.
Beauty Shop
The Beauty Shop has just received
a large selection of Redken products
for patron use. If you use, or are
interested in obtaining this fine
line of beauty products, come into
the shop and make your selection.
Unclaimed laundry
Several patrons have not picked up
their laundry from the Navy Exchange.
Some items have been at the laundry
for 90 days. These items will be
kept for an additional 15 days before
being sold.
It's Income Tax time
The new tax forms are not the
easiest things in the world to com-
plete. But don't fret. The Navy Ex-
change has a supply of Income Tax
Guide booklets designed to help you.
The exchange also has pencils, pads,
pens and bargain priced calculators
to reduce the risk of costly error.
Get your supplies now and file your
returns early.
Discount coupons
These money-saving coupons may be
used at the Navy Exchange, if the
pertinent merchandise is in stock.
Discount coupons enable NEX patrons
to realize added savings on exchange
items. This is not a new policy, but
one which has been effected for sev-
eral years. However, the exchange
feels that customers appreciate an
occasional reminder on ways to enjoy
added savings.
Start no\i
The beginning of the year is the
best time to begin organizing and
storing receipts and other documents
for filing the following year's in-
come tax. It's also the perfect time
to ensure that other important papers-
are kept in their proper places, and
to begin budgeting for probable ex-
penditures .
Document organizers and protect-,
ors, along with budget envelope
books, are available in the tfavy Ex-
change stationery department. The
NEX also features a variety of writ-
ing supplies at bargain prices. One
visit can help you to begin the year
in an organized fashion.
Tiny diamonds are big news
Monday is Valentine's Day. In ad-
dition to the traditional tokens of
love, the Navy Exchange features
fashion diamond jewelry at affordable
prices.
Small diamond jewelry has become
popular, and will probably never go
out of style. Diamond stud earrings,
chokers, rings, pendants and watches
are in vogue for all age groups.
Use the Valentine's Day occasion
for that special person. Visit the
Navy Exchange jewelry counter and
select from the diamond creations
displayed.
Service station
Major engine tuneups are necessary
to keep your car in good running con-
dition. The intervals for performing
major tuneups should conform to the
manufacturer's specifications or
sooner when driving conditions war-
rent. At Keflavik, tuneups are es-
sential to maintain peak performance.
The excessive dust, stop and go driv-
ing and short trip driving may result
in less than satisfactory car perfor-
mance.
When you bring your car to the Na-
vy Exchange Service Station for a ma-
jor engine tuneup, the work will in-
clude: compression testing, ignition
wire testing, distributor testing,
vacuum advance testing, ignition coil
testing, new spark plug installation
and new distributor points and con-
denser installation. Other work or-
ders are to check ignition timing and
adjust, carburetor idle mixture and
idle speed adjusted, service or re-
place air cleaner, service or replace
fuel filter, check/service emission
control system,and adjust drive
belts. Mechanics may also test bat-
tery, clean battery posts, scientif-
ically recheck all systems and road
test.
Let the Navy Exchange Service Sta-
tion maintain your car and keep it in
safe and economical operation.
With inspection time beginning,
make an appointment by calling 4470
to get your car ready.

Beauty Shop. Beginning Monday, the
shop will be open Monday through Sat-
urday. Call 6211 for an appointment.

given with every hair cut Monday

Commissary Store
Late January vegetable reports
from Florida indicate severe damage
to most vegetables. Florida is one
of the major producers of seven es-
sential vegetables for the United
States. Tomatoes, cucumbers, pep-
pers, celery, lettuce, cabbage and
carrots were hard hit by the freez-
ing temperatures. Consequently,
sufficient quantities of these items
will not be available until early
June. Also, the Florida Citrus Com-
mission reported heavy losses of var-
ious citrus fruits.
This winter freeze will affect the
fresh fruit and vegetable market in
the following ways: Insufficent sup-
ply to meet normal demand; higher
prices because of shortages and pro-
curement of vegetables from foreign
sources (i.e. Mexico), and quality
will not be up to standards because
all available items on the market
will be procured.
No foreseeable shortages will oc-
cur in the canned or frozen citrus
juice categories.
Commissary Store patrons are re-
quested to continue normal purchas-
ing patterns. The store will keep
customers advised of any significant
changes.

Rota and Cadiz
Rota and Cadiz are situated on oppo-
site sides of a sheltered bay, facing
the Atlantic Ocean. Rota is a small
fishing and agricultural town, whose
importance as a summer resort is contin-
ually increasing.
Several beaches are located in the
town and in nearby areas. Also in Rota,
Luna Castle, constructed in the 13th
century, is a famous sightseeing spot.
On the other side of the bay is
Cadiz, which claims to be the oldest
inhabited city in the Western world.
Cadiz is a city of the sea, since it
is totally lacking in open land. The
town has a new half with a modern in-
dustrial air, and an old district with
charming narrow streets and ancient
stones. There are many interesting mon-
uments and sightseeing attractions in
Cadiz. Among them are the 18th cen-
tury Baroque cathedral with sculptures
by Roldana and Martinez Montanes, and a
treasure in jewels and ornaments; the
church of San Felipe Neri with a Murillo
painting; the church of San Augustine
with carvings by Montanes; the church
of Santa Cueva vith works by Goya; and
that of Santa Catalina with paintings
by Murillo and others from his studio.
Magnificient beaches, yacht clubs,
quite plazas and gardens, modern sports
stadiums, wide shopping avenues... all
these make up Cadiz, and will make your
journey there an exciting one.

Navy announces high school
diplomas as continuing goal
The Navy says it will continue its
goal of a high school diploma for every
enlisted. This goal is stressed despite
recent legislation that revised the G.I.
Bill educational benefits and virtually
eliminated the possibility for first
term Navy enlistees to continue their
high school education early in their
enlistment.
NAVOP 161/76 established an interim
procedure for a continuation of a high
school completion program for first
term enlisted personnel by okaying al-
ternate methods of financing the cost
of the required educational assistance.
Under NAVOP 161, the Navy will use
tuition assistance funds and the DANTES
program to pay for three types of train-
ing at high school level. ^
