June 3, 1977 Page 3 FORMAL EDUCATION continues within the classroom atmosphere on a more structured basis. LEARNING BEGINS at home, featuring the basics of reading and the educa- tional process. Military moves No single part of military life holds greater potential for frustration or the creation of personal problems than the relocation of a family and its personal possessions. But, with planning and close cooperation with the base transportation office, the problems and frustrations can be held to a minimum, if not eliminated completely. Household goods include furniture, clothing, appliances and items normally used in and around the home. However, the following items may not be shipped or stored with household goods: plants, fresh fruits or flowers, boats, pets, wines and alcoholic beverages, explosives and flammables (such as matches, aero- sals, cleaning fluids), ammunition, articles intended directly or indirectly for others, except bona fide gifts, and items intended for sale. Unaccompanied baggage is shipped separately from the main shipment so that it may be on hand when you arrive at your new duty station. This may be day-to-day items but not furniture. The number of pounds of unaccompanied baggage you are allowed to ship is part of your total household weight allowance. Professional material does not count against your total weight. It can be books, papers, and equipment that are needed in the performance of your husband's official duty. If your installation conoucts premove briefings, you and your husband should attend so that you both understand the arrangements for the move. While at the briefing, any special services you may require from the carrier should be brought up—such as moving a piano entail problems down from an upper floor or a large freezer up from a basement. Before the movers arrive, there is still a lot for you to do: -Dismantle and prepare for shipment such items as the television antenna or outdoor play set. -Empty and defrost the freezer and refrigerator. -Dispose of unwanted items. -Remove pictures and mirrors from walls. -Remove slipcovers from furniture; otherwise the mover will mark it as "condition unknown." -Do not pack any items personally; this releases the mover from liability. On moving day make certain that children and pets do not interfere with the packers—but do make sure that some- one responsible is on hand to assist, as necessary. Having soft drinks and cookies available may be a nice touch for a short break. If you have any questions or disagree^ ments with the carrier during the moving process, contact the transportation office immediately. You should also view applicable slide-on-sound transportation counseling programs. These programs provide infor- mation on travel and transportation en- titlements, Military Airlift Command terminals and shipping procedures. Some of the specific subjects covered are MAC stateside terminals, do-it-your- self moving, shipment of household goods within the states and others relating to various aspects of shipping personal property. Contact the traffic management office, to arrange for viewing. Plan with savings bonds Do plans turn to pipedreams? If saving is a problem, U. S. Savings Bonds could be the answer. The Air Force maintains a payroll savings program for buying bonds. It’s regular# automatic and painless—and bonds accumulate with surprising ease. So does the interest, now six per cent compounded at maturity. When the Air Force Bond solicitor calls, lend an ear. He*11 explain ways to... Give a present... for the future. Give the gift that is aDprecIated for its appreciation. Birthdays, confirmations, baptisms, weddings, anniversaries, graduations and special holidays can be bond-giving occasions. Give them to a grandchild, a godchild, a favorite niece or nephew. Save them for your children, making* certain not to overlook the impor- tant tax advantages. Individuals interested in obtaining information or purchasing U. S. Savings Bonds should contact their Unit Project Monitor or Savings Bond Program Keyman. OMD newby embarks on C-118 training Newly arrived at Keflavik and quali- fying to be a C-118 engineer, Aviation Machinist's Mate Second Class Peggy-lynn Backlund reenlisted for four years Tuesday at the Air Operations Depart- ment. The newcomer, who works at the Or- ganization Maintenance Department, came to Keflavik two weeks ago. Previously, AD2 Backlund was sta- tioned with Patrol Squadron THIRTY at Jacksonville, FL. While there she' served an a utility aircrew instruc- tor. In this capacity she taught basic airplane procedures for crew members. The C-118 engineer student states that She is probably one of the few Navywomen to undergo such training. This instruction, which includes 100 flight hours, will then qualify her as a C-118 engineer. While with VP-30, she attended T-56 Engine School and P-3 Second Mechanic School. She also studied at the C-118 Simulator School, Glenview, IL. AD2 Backlund, who joined the Navy three and a half years ago, is one of two females in OMD.

Power mowers cut more than just grass One of the surest signs of spring is the buzz and hum of power mowers per- forming their duties. Now almost anyone who has pushed one of the old hand-reel mowers around will agree that power mow- ers are a blessing. Every year people lose fingers, toes, eyes, and, yes even lives, in lawnmower accidents. The precautions against this hazard are very simple. Wear protective clothing, especially he aw T-T/>rk shoes, preferably with safety toes. Don't remove the safety shields. Never allow young children to use a mower. Don't allow children or pets in the area when you are mowing. You might have missed an object during your check. Summertime can by fun, but injuries from a mowing accident can sure spoil your plans. Let's prevent mowing acci- dents this year. ftfs the RIGHT TIME for Safety Protestant 9:30 a.m. Chapel Annex-.Lutheran 11:00 a.m. Main Chapel-Divine Wor- ship Service 7:00 p.m. Main Chapel-Evening Wor- ship Catholic 9:00 a.m. Main Chapel-Mass 5:15 p.m. Main Chapel-Mass 11:45 a.m. Blessed Sacrament Chapel- Mass (Monday-Friday) 4:30 p.m. Main Chapel-Mass (Sat- urday) Lay-leader 10:00 a.m. Main Chapel-Episcopal 10:30 a.m. (1st, 3rd and 5th Sunday) Upper School-Church of Christ 5:00 p.m. Lower School-Latter Day Saints 6:30 p.m. Human Relations-Funda- mental Baptist 11:00 a.m. Chapel Annex-Christiau Science 10:00 a.m. Air Force Supply Confer- ence Room-Church of the Northern Light Religious Education Protestant 9:15 a.m. Lower School-Sunday School (ages 2-adult) 10:00 a.m. Human Relations-Sunday School (Fundamental Baptist) 7:00 p.m. Main Chapel-Mid-Week Service Lay-leader 9:30 a.m. Upper School-Church of Christ Sunday Bible School 11:30 a.m. Lower School-Latter Day Saints Sunday School 6:30 p.m. Chapel Annex-Fundamental Baptist Bible Study- Thursday 7:00 p.m. Upper School-Church of Christ Wednesday Bible Study The chapel provides free nursery care during Sunday morning services, Sunday school and religious education classes from 8:45 a.m. to 12!15 p.m. in the Station Nursery.
