FASHION MAN
The blazer, a basic for any well-
rounded wardrobe, has captured Fashion

sier fabrics, although the basic dacron

Family members receive aid
AFAF provides
Take an airman whose car breaks down
after he's spent most of his paycheck.
Include a retired officer and his wife
who want to live in a community of fel-
low retirees; add an enlisted man's
widow who wants companionship with other
Air Force family members. That gives
you a summary of available help under
the Air Force Assistance Fund (AFAF).
AFAF is the fund-raising organiza-

Air Force Village in San Antonio, TX
and the Enlisted Men's widows home
(Teresa Village) at Ft. Walton Beach,
FL.
The Air Force Aid Society provides
noninterest loans and outright grants to
members and their dependents. Many
loans have resulted from emergencies
associated with permanent changes of
station moves, but there are funds for
other urgent situations. In addition,
thousands of dependent children have
obtained a college education through the
society.

The Tour Office has arranged a
special package for C-118 passengers
going to Edinburgh. The package
includes hotel, transfer, and breakfast.
Reservations must be made by March 30.
Why not make the reservations as soon as
you are reconfirmed on the flight?
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland,
is considered as one of the most beauti-
ful cities in the world. The city has
probably more open spaces and parks with-
in its boundries than any other city in
the United Kingdom. Hopefully, when you
arrive, the trees and flowers will be in
bloom. If not, don't despair, you can
visit the Royal Botanic Gardens, to view
the semitropical plants.
Edinburgh also boasts a world famous
zoo, where you may see the funny little
penguins strolling through the zoo.
People from all over the world go to
Scotland to golf on the beautiful, lush
golf courses. The word 'green' will
take on a new meaning when you have
walked along a Scottish one. After all,
it was in Scotland that golf originated.
For other sports, there is the Meadow-
brook Sports Center, where more than 30
different sports activities may be
enjoyed. Edinburgh also has the largest
artificial ski slope in Great Britain.
A few museums include the Royal
Scottish Academy, the Scottish National
Gallery of Modern Art and the National
Gallery of Scotland.
AMSTERDAM
As a reminder to everyone going on
the C-118 to Amsterdam, military
regulations require that all tourists
must travel by bus from Valendenburg,
where the C-118 lands, into Amsterdam.
The bus fee must be paid at the Tour
Office as soon as possible after you are
confirmed on the flight.
