Personalized Services
The Navy Exchange Personalized
Services Department has many flower
arrangements and potted plants for
sale. Give these green friends a
home and add some atmosphere to your
rooms. Personalized Services is the
place to shop.
The Navy Exchange Personalized
Services Department has now made con-
tact with a firm that will make up
various embroidered patches, name
tags, stickers and emblems.
If your unit or squadron has a
particular distinctive patch that
you want made, only a sample is re-
quired to suit your specifications.
All colors and sizes can be re-
produced .
Of course, the larger number of
items you have for the same item,
the less it will cost for each in-
dividual item. Come in and talk to
the staff for personal emblems or
insignias.

OLAA sends EC
Operating Location Alpha Alpha (OLAA)
participated in the Royal Air Force air
show at Lossiemouth, Scotland last week
by sending an EC-12IT "Warning Star"
aircraft and crew.
While in Scotland, the crew was host-
ed by the 8th Squadron, FAF, which pro-
vides NATO with additional airborne
early warning and control capabilities.
Later this month the 8th Squadron
will visit Keflavik to give OLAA per-
understanding of electronics, why not
repair your own inoperative equipment?
The Electronic Hobby Shop provides
tools and test instruments and, in some
cases, components and manuals necessary
for repair.
The duty technician is available for
advice and limited instruction, if you
have problems.
The ET Shop also has catalogs availa-
ble from numerous companies for ordering
kits, equipment or parts.
Many new test instruments and com-
ponent items have been received recently
and more are on order. Stop by and see
what is available for your use.

ations officer, Captain William L. Brown

Master Sergeant David A. Hunt arrived to
fill the noncommissioned officer in
charge of operations position and Master
Sergeant Ellis F. Akins is now the main-
tenance superintendent.
Saturday bus tour
On the next tour, Saturday Aug. 27,
we will drive around Whale Bay and, if
any whales are in, we will stop. From
there, we take the road to the Borgar-
fjordur district, one of the most pros-
perous farming areas in Iceland.
We pass many Borgarfjordur valley
openings and visit the educational cen-
ter in Reykholt. We continue over the
low hills to the great glacial river
Hvita (White River) and follow it up-
river to the woodlands and Husafell
which is a popular camping ground.
Along the way, we see subterranean
streams, cascading out of the great
lava fields into the glacial river.
We continue on the Kaldidalur (Cold
Valley) road among the glaciers Ok,
Eiriksjokull and Langjokull. Then we
enter the Thingvellir plain from the
north, and return through Reykjavik.
Copenhagen
The Tour Office will have a hotel
package available for people taking
the C-118 to Copenhagen, but you must
be reconfirmed on the flight.
Copenhagen is home for one and
half million people. Capital of Den-
mark since 1417, Copenhagen has kept
its character as a city by the sea.
Among happy memories tourists take
home are of boat excursions through
harbor canals that reach right into
the center of the city, and visits to
the famous Little Mermaid statue on
the lovely Langelinie promenade.
Neither Dane nor visitor ever tire of
Copenhagen’s spire and tower-lined sky-
line, much of which hails from the great
building era of the Renaissance.
Guests feel at home; they like the
intimate but still international atmo-
sphere, the tranquil rhythm and cheerful
ways—in a hotel, restaurant, nightclub
or anywhere in between.
World-famous Tivoli, the pleasure
gardens, lies between Central Railroad
Station and City Hall, a solid city
block of relaxation and entertainment.
In 1843, on 15 acres of garden in
the center of Copenhagen, a flower-
filled world was created for the young
at heart—be they toddlers or totterers
with canes. It was an instant success,
and has remained so ever since.
Problems fade away within the Tivo-
li's gates, as a visitor claps his
hands with Peter Pan...and believes
again.
In this amusement world, everything
has been done to make time fly over
the rainbow. Within the park grounds,
funtime concessions flourish, but they
are different (riders on a merry-go-
round sail in a tiny fleet of Viking
ships instead of on horses).
diversions delight
Many concessions are devoted to
games of chance and skill (pin-table
arcades, slot machines, shooting gal-
leries) , and a ferris wheel has
"Around the World in 80 Days" balloons
with cabin seats.
A playground for children is a
veritable Rube Goldberg of modern
design; and, in contrast, an over-
blown birthday cake, an Arabian-like
fantasy palace with towers and arches
and strings of gaily colored lights
houses restaurants and dancing areas.
l_DEfcD.r
Interspersed are more than two dozen
different restaurants—in all price
ranges—from a lakeside inn to a beer
garden.
During the day all is laughter,
brightness and color.
One of the pleasant diversions is to
walk around the edge of the tiny lake
with its ducks, swans and boats.
The oldest building at the Tivoli,
the Chinese-styled Pantomime Theater,
with its famous peacock curtain, stages
not only pantomimes but also ballets in
the evening.
Inside each of the entrances are
large maps, outlining the plan of the
Tivoli.
First-time visitors simply should ig-
nore these diagrams—in other words, get
lost in a fantasy world that has the
realism of a Walt Disney miracle, but
the spirit of a Hans Christian Andersen
fairytale.
The Tivoli is open from 9 a.m. to
midnight, but, since it closes in mid-
September, you should try to get there
as soon as possible after you arrive.
Animal collection multi-faceted
The carefully mapped-out zoological
gardens, 32 Roskildevej, is the home
for a striking collection of animals—
more than 2,000—captured from such
remote places as the snowy heights of
Greenland or the dark depths of the
heart of Africa.
Don't fail to see the open area
where lions roam.
Across the street, youngsters can
have a wonderful time in the specially
arranged children's zoo, where they can
play with the animals.
Vanguard of shopping buys
Copenhagen is the vanguard of great
shopping buys in Europe and much of
that action takes place on a traffic-
free pedestrian street in the heart of
the capital, known as Stroget.
The Stroget begins on Frederiksborg-
gade, north of the Town Hall square,
and winds like a python to Ostergade,
which opens onto Kongens Nytorv.
This jampacked street can be a window
shopper's dream, a buyer's heaven. It
is lined with an amazing range of
stores, everything from the tiniest of
spedialty shops to the great emporiums,
sagging with merchandise—a vast array
of Nordic modern furniture, jewelry,
porcelain, enamelware, applied art and
Danish fashions. Everything is sold
on the Stroget.
Greece
When you are reconfirmed on the C-118
to Athens, and, if you are interested in
hotel accommodations, contact the Tour
Office not later than Aug. 31.
