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.

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

Tuesday at the Air Operations Depart-

Jacksonville, FL. While there she'
served an a utility aircrew instruc-
tor. In this capacity she taught
basic airplane procedures for crew
members.

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.

Navy three and a half years ago,
is one of two females in OMD.
Upon entering the Navy, she
was ordered to AD "A" School at
Memphis, TN, where she received
eight weeks1 instruction in basic
jet engines.
During her one-year tour in Iceland,
she plans to travel off-base, seeing
more of the country as well journeying
to Europe.
A native of San Pedro, CA, she en-
joys leathercraft and wheel pottery.

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.
