Navy Exchange news
The continued fluctuation of the
value of the United States dollar in re-
lation to the Japanese yen has made it
necessary to increase prices on Japanese
made items in the 1978 Navy Exchange
Mail Order Catalog.
The price of Japanese merchandise,
listed at $20 or more, will be in-
creased by 10 per- cent on all orders
postmarked on or after Nov. 16. This
change supersedes a smaller increase
made in September.
Mail order customers should add 10
per cent to the listed catalog price
before forwarding their orders. This
applies to those items for which stock
numbers begin with "AJ", indicating the
product was manufactured in Japan.

TOURS &
TRAVEL
By Nancy Walker
Tour London
London is the highlight of the season
for many American military and their de-
pendents stationed in Iceland who are
planning holidays via the "Thanksgiving
in London" charter offered through the
Tour Office or'via the C-118 Mildenhall
flights.
London is graceful, exciting, adven-
turesome, charming and in short—simply
smashing! London's popularity with
those stationed on the NATO base is well
founded, as it is easy to get around,
and sightseeing, nightlife and shop-
ping possibilities abound.
Around and About
If you are traveling to London for
the first time, relieve yourself of any
transportation worries you might have
because London enjoys one of the best
public transit systems in the world.
The underground is well-defined, comfor-
table, inexpensive and efficient, not
to mention the bus system. If neither
of these modes suits your needs there is
always the London taxi that you can rely
on with confidence.
Check with the London Transport En-
quiry Offices at Picadilly Circus, St.,
James Park, Oxford Circus, Victoria,
or King's Cross tubal stations for in-
formation concerning bargain travel
passes for the duration of your stay.
Sightseeing Lineup
Tower of London, historical fortress
on the north bank of the Thames River,
is the home of the priceless Crown
Jewels. It is noted for its associa-
tions with infamous executions and im-
prisonments and for the colorful Beef-
eater guards.
Westminister Abbey is the home of a
church founded by Edward the Confessor
in 1065 and is built in Early English
Gothic structure.
The British Museum, located on
Russel Street in Bloomsbury, houses one
of the most universal collections of art
in the world.
Madame Tussaud's world famous wax
museum, is located on Baker Street.
Kensington Palace is the home of the
State Apartments used by Queen Victoria,
William of Orange and George the II.
St. Paul's Cathedral, erected between
1675 and 1710, contains countless
monuments, including a chapel dedicated
to American servicemen who lost their
lives defending the United Kingdom
during World War II
Nightlife
The English theater needs no intro-
duction. Tickets can be purchased at
the theater box office or from an agency
such as American Express.
Some of the theaters include The
National Theater (take tube to Waterloo)
which actually houses three separate
theaters and is complete with bars and
restaurants Royal Court Theater (take
tube to Sloane Square in Chelsea), with
emphasis on new playwrights, and the
Young Vic (take tube to Waterloo),
catering to younger audiences.
Shopping
For those who enjoy a stroll^tle con-
down a bargain lane, the shopping opping
in London will be a true delight. What
a great way to get some early Christmas
shopping done! The variety ranges from
furniture stores on Totteham Court Road
to shoe stores on Oxford Street to book-
stores on Charing Cross Road to fashion
