Ice Cream Shoppe opens
Yes, it's open, and doing quite
a business with new ice cream.
Would you believe more than 1,000
scoops of ice cream have been dis-
pensed in the last two weeks?
The shop has a variety of flavors,
and tries to make changes each week.
Because of limited space, only
eight flavors are offered at one
time. The exchange hopes it will
have something which will tickle your
taste buds.
And, for a different treat, why
not try a double dip cone, with two
different flavors?
How’s this sound—one scoop of
pistachio and one scoop of pecan?
Mouth watering, huh?
Stop in soon at the Viking and give
the ice cream a try—you’ll come back
for more.
Let PtRT do the work
Planning a party, having a birthday
or anniversary party or just a plain
old friendly get together? Why not
let NEX take care of the worry and the
bother of preparing the food. Past
Pert Platter experts are awaiting your
call. NEX has four platters, each
designed to feed a different number
of party goers, and, this price is
right—less than $2 per person.
It’s a great way to have a party;
no muss or fuss.
When the party is over, you just
dispose of the dishes (no worry about
who's going to return the catering
equipment).
Just call 5273 if you want to or-
der or just get some more information
on the platters.
Beverage Store specials
Spring fever has hit. NEX is
looking forward, with great hopes, to
a warm and sunny summer—a time for
relaxing and enjoying a good cold
drink. NEX want to help you do the
same. NEX has also decided to reduce
the number of items carried.
So, for your enjoyment NEX has
drastically reduced a number of be-
verage products at the Beverage Store.
Why not stop in and take advantage
of these reduced items.
The sale will only last as long
as the product does, so hurry, the
money you save will be your own.
'Give dad his day
Don’t forget about father and his
special day. Once a year let him
know that he is a special person in
your life and you really do appreci-
ate^him and his efforts in caring
for you. He is a unique person and
a worthwhile individual with lots of
responsibilities. Make his day mem-
orable with a card and gift from the
Navy Exchange. It’s a good feeling
to be remembered and appreciated.
Give dad his day.
NEO bids farewell
It’s time to end my tour as ex-
change officer and introduce my re-
lief, Lt. Robert A. Brown.
I remember when I came to Keflavik,
I saw a need for better communication
with patrons, and, as a result, this
weekly column was initiated to keep
you better informed.
Keflavik has offered unique chal-
lenges to me and has given me valuable
business experience for any future
civilian career I may choose.
I wish to thank you for your sug-
gestions and comments during my tour.
I know they have been extremely help-
ful.
Patrons have a great deal to look
forward to in the future.
With a strong management team at
the exchange, a new facility will
soon become a reality. With excel-
lent support, the exchange will
become significantly better in the
coming year.
Thank you again for a rewarding
and challenging experience that I’m
sure will be beneficial to me in the
future.—Lt. J. R. Cote

Navy Lodges offer comfort and con-
venience for families on the move
Navy Lodges, located at 33 U.S. ac-
tivities and in five overseas areas,
are available to provide temporary
accommodations to Navy families on
the move. First priority is given to
personnel making permanent change of
station (PCS) moves, however, other
authorized personnel may be accommo-
dated on a space available basis.
Daily rates at Navy Lodges range
from $9 to $15 per family, depending
on the facilities.
Advance reservations may be made
up to 90 days for those personnel on
PCS orders and up to 21 days in ad-
vance for other personnel. At the
time of check-in, authorized patrons
must show proper identification.
Dependent children are welcome at
Navy Lodges if they are accompanied
by a parent or legal guardian who is
authorized to use the lodge. There
are no facilities for pets at the
lodges.
Normally, 15 days is the maximum
amount of time that may be spent at
a Navy Lodge. This, however, may
be extended to 30 days for personnel
on PCS orders.
Navy Lodge facilities, particularly
those built within the past ten years,
are comparable to commercial motels.
A directory listing services and
rates at each facility, is available
at the Navy Lodge.
COMSTORE investigates
On a recent trip to Norfolk, the
Officer in Charge of the Commissary
