TOURS &
TRAVEL
By Nancy Walker
Glasgow holiday
Glasgow is a city of remarkable con-
trasts. The hub of Scottish commercial
activity, Glasgow is tempered by the 62
beautiful open air parks it possesses.
The art enthusiast will discover one
of Scotland's most impressive galleries,
housing fine paintings by Rembrandt,
Giorgiones and others. The sportsman
will want to take advantage of the re-
nowned golfing facilities, while the
historian might enjoy following a
heritage trail through Glasgow.
Glasgow is a great launching point
from which to make daily excursions to
other areas of interest and a great home
base in which to enjoy exciting nightly
entertainment.
Everyone will enjoy the plaids, Scot-
tish bagpipes, shortbreads, tasty whis-
kies and lovely scenery that will all be
a part of a holiday in Glasgow.
Points of interest
Dating from the 12th century, the
Glasgow Cathedral represents a breath-
taking example of preReformation gothic
architecture. The tomb of the Patron
Saint, Mango, which is housed in the
cathedral, is open to visitors seven
days a week.
The Art Gallery and Museum, located
in Kelvingrove Park, has a fine collec-
tion of paintings, representative of art
from all areas of the world. Historical
treasures, relating to archaeology, ship-
ping, natural history and armor, are
available for exploration.
The Museum of Transport in Glasgow
is unique in the quantity and variety of
exhibits offered. Take a nostalgic trip
down the halls, lined with historical
horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, locomo-
tives and tramway cars. Tracing the
history of transportation is not only
entertaining but also educational.
Be sure to visit the falls at
Rouken Glen, Glasgow's most impressive
public park. Lovely trees and gardens
create an atmosphere, conducive to mo-
ments of solitude.
Entertainment
Spend evenings in Glasgow, wining and
dining, visiting dance halls, enjoying a
folknight in a local hotel or attending
one of the many theatrical performances.
Golfing, pony trekking and fishing
are popular activities in Glasgow.
Shopping possibilities are unlimited.
Be sure to take a stroll down Buchanan
Street, where you will find a well-bal-
anced mixture of souvenir shops, antique
dealers and fashion stores.
Excursions
Glasgow is located so that other
areas of interest are easily accessible.
Excursions from Glasgow to the "Land
of Robert Burns", in Ayr, to the beau-
tiful mountain areas of the Trossachs
or to fun-filled Edinburgh can be made
in a day's time. Train or bus tours to
these areas are scheduled daily.
Cruises on the Firth of Clyde supply
a cinerama of lochs, coastline and
mountains.
The following dates are available
for the Glasgow "96" package: Oct. 14,
Nov. 4, 11, 18 and 25; Dec. 2 and 9;
Jan. 20 and Feb. 10.
Contact the Tour Office at 4200 for
more information.
Those planning to book Christmas
flights with Loftleidir should do so
as soon as leave dates are confirmed.
Consumer bulletin , by Nadia Slusar
Effective Wednesday, Navy Exchange
mail order prices of German, Japanese
and Spanish manufactured items, cur-
rently priced in the 1978 catalog at
$20 or more, were revised.
The following Navy Resale System
Office memorandum is applicable to
the price revisions.
Mail order items from Spain have
been reduced by 15 per cent, while
items from Germany and Japan have
been increased by five per cent.
Each item in the 1977-78 Navy Ex-
change Mail Order catalog is identi-
fied by country of origin in the
descriptive text.
On items listed for $20 or more
from these countries, mail customers
are advised to make the necessary
deduction or addition before sending
their orders.
Navy Exchange Mail Order will make
every effort to process without delay
any orders received under the old
prices.
Orders for Japanese and German
items will be processed normally and
the customer will be billed for the
difference, if the amount is small.
Where there is a large difference,
the customer will be contacted and
given the option of cancelling the
order or remitting the balance.
On Spanish merchandise, the order
will be processed and the customer
will be sent an immediate refund for
any overpayment.
These price adjustments are neces-
sary because of the recent fluctua-
tions in the value of Japanese, Ger-
man and Spanish currency, compared
to the United States dollar.
Beauty Shop
Two special events are coming up—
the Naval Security Group Activity
Ball Thursday and the Navy Ball Oct.
15.
The Beauty Shop will extend its
normal hours of operation if enough
appointments are made early enough
to warrant the extra hours.
So, if you are planning to have
your hair done for the crowning
touch, call the Beauty Shop early
and ensure your appointment.
The Beauty Shop is offering a
free Redken conditioner with every
permanent—take advantage of this
offer.
Check charge
A recent Navy Resale System Of-
fice notice requires the Navy Ex-
change to levy a $10 vice $5 ser-
vice charge for each check returned
by the bank to the exchange.
A service charge is not levied
against the patron if the check was
returned because of bank error.
The charge has become necessary
because of increased exchange ad-
ministrative cost.
Cigarette price increased
Effectively immediately, there
will be a 15 cents per carton in-
crease on cigarettes.
No price change is occurring on
single packs.
The increase is because of vendor
increases to NEX, and the exchange is
keeping the increase to the patron at
a bare minimum.
New items
On the list of newly arrived items
are Halloween costumes (available at
Toyland) and lots of Halloween candy.
Sleds, toboggans and snow discs are
now in and some of the Chanel per-
fumes.
NEX has a continual arrival of
merchandise.
