Did you know:
That the body of every organiza-
tion has four kinds of bones. There
are the "Wish Bones" who wish someone
else would do all the work. There
are the "Jaw Bones" who do all the
talking but very little else. There
are the "Knuckle Bones" who knock ev-
erything that anybody else tries to
do. Finally there are the "Back
Bones" who get under the load and do
all the work.

Mow to write a check
There is a right and a wrong way to
to write checks. Here’s some advice
on the subject from Chicago's Conti-
nental Illinois Bank:
First, never use a pencil, sign a
blank check, leave space between
words, erase, give anvone a blank
check or sign a check for cash until
you're ready to cash it.
Always do the following: write as
far to the left as possible, and draw
a wavy line through all blank spaces,
sign only when you've filled in all
required information, destroy any
check on which you made an error, re-
cord each one you write, store can-
celed checks in a seperate place from
unused checks so a thief won't have
samples of your signature and a sup-
ply of forgeable checks.
Custoner inquiries
Would like you to stock humidifi-
ers , up to and including 12 gallon
capacity, can't order through the
mail. Robert Coombs.
These have been stocked, but have
proven to be such slow movers we had
to return over 100 to the manufactur-
ers. We have in stock a small humid-
ifier at the present time.
Why did you order so many rug kits
but not enough cut yarn to go around?
Betty.
True, we did not order enough yarn
for the kits, but we now have rug
yarn on order.
Would like cake decorating books
to be ordered. Erma Duchein.
As soon as we can locate the
source, cake decorating books will be
ordered.
I think that the Navy Exchange
should order more photographic sup-
plies for the benefit of all the peo-
ple who have cameras. Thomas McLerkie
All photographic supplies will be
carried at the Hobby Shop. The ex-
change will continue to carry flash
equipment, film, etc.
I think ordering more bicycle
parts could benefit a few of the bike
riders here.
Bicycle parts will be ordered dur-
ing the summer months.
Please, a reorder on the Hoover
Floor-a-matic. The few that were
stocked sold promptly. Also Hoover
upright vacuum cleaner belts. Rhea
Reid
Hoover vacuum supplies will arrive
late March.
Would like some travel information
books, England on $10/15 a day, Spain
on $10/15 a day, etc. D. Becke
These have been ordered and are
due to arrive in March.
Before, Amphora "Aromatic" pipe
tobacco was stocked (rum, brandy).
But only regular is in stock. When's
the Aromatic on the way? P. Schappich
This item is in stock.
Please see about having little
girls dress shoes on hand. We're re-
mote but not stranded. Karen
Childrens dress shoes are on or-
der.
How come there are no little boys
socks for six and seven year olds.
Sarah
These are due this month.
Any possible way of keeping the

& TRAVEL
Rooms for Naples and Rome
Don't forget that the Tour Office has
made arrangements for hotel packages in
Naples and Rome. However, before you
can request accommodations, you must
first be reconfirmed on the C-118
flight.
In Naples our package is for nine
nights, accommodations in a room with
bath in a hotel overlooking the romantic
bay of Naples. To confirm with the new
C-118 schedule the package will be for
April 14-22. We must have all room re-
quests for Naples by noon March 25.
In Rome our package includes room ac-
commodations with bath, transportation
to and from the airport and breakfast
each morning. We must have all room re-
quests by March 21.
Sign up for one of the C-118 trips to
Naples or Rome, then contact the Tour
Office for more information and prices
on hotel packages.
The second day is spent exploring
the glaciers and Skaftafell national
park, and the night is spent in Hof.
The fourth day is primarily spent in
the Skaftafell area, and the night is
spent in Klaustur. On the fifth day the
tour returns to Reykjavik, with several
side trips to places of interest, such
as Hjoleifshordi, being made along the
way.
Family rates

ily fares are in effect to several pla-
ces in Scandinavia, plus London and
Glasgow. With the family rates the hus-
