Potentially hazardous coffeemakers
The U.S. Consumer Products Safety
Commission has advised the recall of
Nobility brand 10-cup automatic cof-
feemakers, Model //151, because these
pose a potential fire hazard.
A defect in the internal construc-
tion may cause corrosion of the metal
bracket which holds the thermostat
against the heating element. When
this happens, the thermostat will
fall away from the heating element
and the unit will remain in a constant
"on" position, generating unnecessary
heat until it ignites the plastic
case.
Consumers who own a Nobility cof-
feemaker, Model //151, should stop use
immediately and return the unit to
the store where purchased for a full
refund.
All coffeemakers involved in the re-
call have the name "Nobility" written
across the front of the upper section of
the unit where the water is added.
Etched into the metal plate at the
base of each coffeemaker are the words:
UL listed 429E, made in Singapore, do
not immerse in water, and E57635 Model
232. (This model number is not to be
confused with Model //151 which is
printed only on the box in which the
coffeemaker is packaged.)
The units have been sold nationwide
under the Nobility name since June
1976.
These same coffeemakers have been
imported and distributed by other as
yet unidentified firms under different
brand names. All units, however, bear
the same inscriptions on the base
plate.

grapher took class pictures at the

til 7 p.m. at the Retail Store, Clothing

vices, Toyland and the Driftwood

Employee of the month
Mrs. Ruth Pugh, Personalized Services
clerk, was recognized as February's
"Employee of the Month" for the Navy Ex-
change. This special recognition was
largely based on Mrs. Pugh's demonstrated
excellence in customer relations and the
genuine interest that she shows on the
job.
AM EX gives tips _ . .
on currencies for * VdCCltlOn
Now is the time to plan for that
European vacation. Colin G. Curtis,
American Express Bank manager, suggests
the following hints for travelers who
wish to purchase foreign currency.
Travelers are encouraged to buy any
large amounts of foreign currencies
when they arrive in the country of
destination.
Generally, travelers will find a
better exchange rate because of the
large volumes in which the local banks
deal.
By the same token, travelers should
avoid returning to Iceland with large
amounts of foreign currency they may
lose on the exchange rate. However,
should an individual desire to purchase
small amounts of currencies before de-
parting from Iceland, a call to American
Express about a week in advance will re-
serve the currency.
Travelers Checks are always a good
investment. Besides advantages gained
in the event of loss or theft, foreign
banks will generally offer a better ex-
change rate for Travelers Checks than
for dollar cash.
Additionally, unused checks can
always be cashed after a trip. Few
people experience difficulty in cashing
dollar Travelers Checks in other coun-
tries; however, the bank does stock
these in a limited number of curren-
cies—(marks, pounds, French francs and
Swiss francs).
Plan ahead for that vacation, and
don't forget to think about the curren-
cies that will be required for the
trip.

AFAF supports AF widows,
dependents
She didn't feel secure after her
husband died. She wanted to move to
Florida and a new home. Friends helped
her to move, and now she is at home in
an Air Force community with people of
similar interests and backgrounds.
This is just one of the many stories
that can be told of those who live at
the Enlisted Men's Widows and Dependents
Home established by a private, nonprofit,
charitable organization. Opened in 1975,
the home has 100 apartments and is near
Eglin AFB, FL.
Residents may use a swimming pool,
shuffleboard courts, library, televi-
sion room and a game and craft room.
Teresa Village, as the home is call-
ed, houses widows and widowers who are
age 55 or older. Young widows with
children are eligible to stay up to one
year, allowing time for the widow to
make plans for the future. Retired en-
listed people, age 62 or older, and
their spouses are also eligible.
Twenty-six per cent of the residents
at Teresa Village are retired E-8s and
E-9s or their widows.
In August 1977, Teresa Village
became fully occupied, and there is a
waiting list of about 85 widows. Monthly
"rent" is approximately $170. At present
more then half of the occupants cannot
afford the monthly "rent". Teresa
Village provides a monthly subsidy from
contributions received through the Air
Force Assistance Fund (AFAF) Campaign.
Contributions also provide funds
for operational support of Teresa Village
The AFAF campaign is now being conducted.
Campaign contributions will also
support the Air Force Village in San
Antonio and the Air Force Aid Society.
