Mystery person
finds $180.00
It was probably a typical day for
Margaret Seymourlast week when she was
going here and there running some errands
but can you imagine the panic she must
have felt when she discovered that she
had lost her purse. Then consider that
there was $180 inside, plus, credit
cards, ration card, drivers liscense
etc.
You can kiss that purse goodbye
right? Wrong.' By retracing her steps
that day Margaret found that someone had
turned her purse in to the Post Office .
Suprisingly enough not a dime of the
$180 was missing.
Now you know what he meant when your
sponsor said that there are a lot of
nice people stationed at Keflavik.
The problem Margaret is having right
now is finding that one nice person
turned her purse in at the Post Office
so she can offer her personal thanks.
If you are that person or know who
he or she is please call the White
Falcon Office so we can relay your name
to her. The phone number is 4612.

WE'RE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY STORE
More and more men are learning what
women seemed to have known since the
beginning of time—that proper skin care
and the right emollients will visibly
retard the aging-process look. Growing
image-consciousness among men, coupled
with the recent proliferation of male -
oriented beauty supplies and equipment,
is erasing old taboos. The result is
an unprecedented demand for male groom-
ing merchandize.
The Navy Exchange carries an assort-
ment of skin cleansers, astringments and
moisturizers, and more "he-male" pro-
ducts are being added. The nicest part
of this story is that men can now look
better for less, if they are authorized
customers of the NEX.
LET'S HEAR IT FOR SWEATERS
We're talking about the new assort-
ment of quality sweaters, for tne entire
family, now on display in the Navy Ex-
change. A variety or styles, textures
and yarn blends in modern color combina-
tions and shades are available.
Let's face it. The sweater is the
ideal garment for keeping warm in ener-
gy-conscious homes and offices when the
weather gets chilly. And virtually no
one expects this coming winter to be
anything less. Inspect our selection
today.

medical department
to set non-smoke
In a letter to physicians, dentist ,
nurses and medical service corps
officers, Surgeon General Vice Admiral
Willard P. Arentzen has instructed Navy
medical department personnel to "set
the example” in the fight against
tobacco use in the Navy, especially in
medical facilities.
Describing smoking as a principal
form of self-destructive behavior, the
Navy Surgeon General cited a World
Health Organization suggestion that the
control of cigaret smoking alone could
do more to improve health and prolong
life in developed countries than any
other single action in the field of
preventive medicine.
"As health care professionals," Vadm.
VAdm. Arentzen said in the letter, "We
must behave in a manner consistent with
the knowledge that smoking is a health
hazard." Medical department members
should lead the way, VAdm. Arentzen
said.
Air Force
Men’s flight caps
approved for women
Women pilots and navigators recently
received approval to wear the men's blue
flight cap when wearing flight suits.
Air Force officials said that women's
authorized headgear did not meet the
needs of the women during their
training.
Flight cap testing was conducted at
Williams AFB, AZ., , during flight
training by the first women pilots.
Results of these tests confirmed that a
special flight cap for women is not
necessary and that the flight cap worn
by men is adequate, officials said.

AFB, TX. s, needs volunteers to become
