NEX Service Station
Resulting from recent contract
negotiation, the Navy Exchange Ser-
vice Station anticipates an increase
in gas prices by December and will
soon implement total self-service at
the pump island.
As you are probably aware, a
two-cent per gallon reduction can be
taken on self-service islands. Con-
verting to self-service on both is-
lands will also reduce waiting lines
at the gas pumps.
The self-service operation en-
courages you, the patron, to serve
yourself.
However, if you are unable or op-
posed to self-service, an attendant
will be ready to pump the gasoline
for you.
Signs will be prominently dis-
played to remind patrons "sound
horn for assistance."
The Service Station also has in a
shipment of winter tires in all
sizes. Make appointments now for
tire changing and tire studding.
Studded tires can not be put on be-
fore Oct. 15.
Check out the Service Station
while the selection is complete.
Driftwood Cafeteria
This coming week, MS2 Paul
McCarthy will offer a steak sandwich
special. Drop in at the Driftwood
Cafeteria Tuesday through Saturday
for Paul's steak sandwich special.
Revlon
The Revlon representative has
some new Charlie travel/trial size
cleansers and toners. Moondrops
also has travel/trial size cleansers,
moisturizers and night creams.
With winter weather coming, now
is the time to try these super
moisturizers and cleansers.
Men can get in on the skin care
program as well. Sensitive skin
has no gender boundary. Protect
your skin with these new travel and
trial size cosmetics.
Optical service
Effective immediately, there will
be a 50 per cent deposit on all op-
tical orders placed at Personalized
Services.
The department has built up an
excessive inventory because cus-
tomers order glasses and then do
not pick them up.
Since everyone's prescription is
personal, it can not be sold to
another patron. This results in un-
wanted items, extra work and ex-
pense to no avail.
NEX asks your cooperation to aid
in alleviating this problem.
The exchange policy will be 50
per cent down on all items ordered.
This ernest fee, NEX hopes, will
encourage patrons to pick up special
orders.
New Items
The exchange now has ladies'
3-speed bicycles, several watches,
gift items from all over the world
and more merchandise continually
coming in. Keep shopping at your
Navy Exchange.

TOURS &
TRAVEL
by Magna Gudmunsdottir
The C-118 (Environmental and
Morale Leave program) is going to
Brussels in October. Brussels in
Belgium is an excellent jumping-point
to France, Holland, Luxembourg,
Austria or Germany, but there are a lot
of interesting things to see and do in
Brussels.
Offering a most astonishing mixture
of the present and the past, together
with some surprising futuristic archi-
tectures, Brussels is to satisfy the
most hard to please: Monuments, muse-
ums, restaurants, shops and "boutiques",
parks churches and antique markets.
It is the most European of Europe
cities, the most international of the
old continent with its gothic churches,
a famous marketplace in baroque style,
English pubs, French gardens and a
cuisine, admittedly second to none.
Grand'Place
The medieval Grand'Place, old heart
of Brussels, is a magnet to tourists
from all over the world. See the 13th
centurv. Cathedral of St. Michael,
stained glass and wonderful tapestries,
Notre Dame du Sablon, Law Courts; and in
the museum the finest collection of the
Flemish masters and moderns.
Gastronomy in Brussels
Like the French, Belgians devotedly
worship good food and drink. A number
of good restaurants are in Brussels, in
the centre, near the Grand'Place, at the
Sablon, at the Porte de Namur and near
the Avenue Louise.
Wherever you sit down to eat, you
will relish quality food served "comme
il faut" in pleasant surroundings. In
addition to French specialities, you
will be able to appreciate typical
Belgian dishes: chicken waterzooi,
eels, Brussels witloof, veal kidneys a
la liegeoise, Ardennes smoked ham,
mussels with a variety of sauces, snails
and asparagus a la Flamande. These
dishes are generously accompanied by
beer or wine. In addition, foreign
restaurants picturesquely contribute
a variety of international "cusines".
Slopping and the picturesque
Brussels, the crossroads of Europe,
is also the crossroads of fashion. It
is perhaps the only city in the world
to offer such a wide overall view of
international fashion. Collections
from Paris, London, Vienna and Rome are
available in tasteful boutiques in the
centre, rue Neuve, Avenue Louise,
Avenue de la Toison d"0r of in the
arcades.
Close to the Grand' Place you will
find the celebrated Brussels lace,
woolens.from Scotland, pullovers from
Norway, jackets from the Tyrol, rain-
coats from New York, leather goods
from Florence and optical instruments
from Germany and Japan.
Household electrical appliances and
beauty products from across the
Atlantic as well as from all over the
world are also found in Brussels.,
where you will be surprised and de-
lighted to discover Belgian choco-
lates, Val St-Lambert crystal, house-
hold linen woven from Flanders flax,
and firearms from Liege.
On Saturdays and Sundays you can go
to the Sablon, where the antique and
book markets are held, a must for en-
thusiasts.
On Sunday mornings, the Tour Office
suggests a visit to the bird market; it
is charming, especially in the unique
decor of the Grand'Place. From there
you can go to the Old Market, where you
will rub shoulders with the "cockneys"
of Brussels and immigrants in a happy,
good-natured atmosphere.
Cancellations for Hvitarbakki Lodge
must reach the Tour Office before noon
Thursdays.
