Exchange news by Darlene Johnson
The Navy Exchange will accept cents-
off coupons if the merchandise is
stocked. These coupons are usually
available through newspapers, magazines
and direct mail.
During fiscal year 1977, the Navy
Exchanges worldwide used almost nine
million cents-off coupons valued at
approximately $1.8 million.
Cents-off coupons enable you to en-
joy savings beyond what you regularly
experience at the Navy Exchange. Cash
register operators will not, however,
accept a coupon after its expiration
date. Coupons must be redeemed for
merchandise actually purchased.

CLOTHING NEWS
The Navy Exchange Clothing Store is
well-stocked with assorted clothes for
all age groups.
Direct from Ireland, a variety of
quality sweaters for men and women is
available in turtlenecks, pullovers and
zippered jackets. During the upcoming
months, Iceland has many days when a
coat is just too warm to wear; a
sweater will keep you at the right
temperature for those pleasantly cool
days.
PRETEEN CLOTHES
NEX has been receiving a selection
of clothes for preteens and students.
For boys, the exchange has Prep slacks
and shirts with an order out for Prep
ties. For girls, NEX has a beautiful
assortment of jeans, skirts, shirts,
dresses and coordinated outfits.
Because of limited space, a special
area for preteen clothes is not desig-
nated. If you can't see what you want,
ask the sales clerk for help.
Be on the lookout for more preteen
coordinates and for preteen swimwear.
(Preteen shoes for both boys and girls
are on order and will be carried on a
steady basis.')
Dr. Denton sleepwear is on its
way. Continue checking the store for
new items.
SPRANG BY ACCESSORIES
The perfect way to change the way
an outfit looks is with the right ac-
cessories .
In the Clothing Store, a variety of
scarves is displayed to enhance your
appearance. Scarves are such flexible
items: You can knot, bow, drape, belt
or just plainly wear this accessory.
These come in assorted shapes and
sizes along with a rainbow of colors.
Stickpins are now popular and come in
different styles. The most popular way
to wear these is with a blazer or just
on your sweater or blouse. The Navy Ex-
change expects to receive an order in
the near future.
Last, but not least, is jewelry. If
you haven't been by the jewelry counter
lately, you are missing out on newly
arrived items.
Jewelry complements just about any-

AFA drive surges ahead
During the first week of the Air
Force Association's annual membership
drive, reports indicate a record number
of new members are joining at Keflavik.
Lieutenant Jim Uken, chairman, says,
"Results thus far are very encouraging
and we believe that this year's drive
will be the most successful yet."
The AFA is a national non-profit
organization with no personal, political
or commercial interests . It publishes
Air Force magazine, the largest aero-
space magazine in the free world, and
currently has more than 155,000 members,
including both active duty and civilian
personnel.
As an added incentive to join AFA
during this drive, it will send all new
members signing up in April a special
bonus issue of the Air Force magazine.
This bonus issue is entitled the Soviet
Aerospace Almanac and contains indepth
information on the Soviet Air Force that
is available from no other single source
in the free world.
AFA-is open to all United States
citizens. Dues are $13 per year or $30
for a three-year period. Applications
for membership can be obtained from
Air Force squadron representatives or at
the Windbreaker and Officers' Clubs.
For more information, call Lt. Uken
at 4675/7619.
New packaging rules
Broken packages from mail order
companies, friends and families have
been all too common for some service
personnel assigned to overseas duty
stations.
But new postal regulations made
effective last month are designed to in-
crease safe handling of parcels by re- •
ducing damage because of inadequate
containers and closure materials and
loss of address labels.
The new requirement brought about
in part by complaints from overseas
military personnel who experienced prob-
lems with lost and broken containers-
is the result of a cooperative effort
with mailers' associations to develop
realistic and enforceable mailing stand-
ards .
The changes include the use of
fiberboard containers in strengths re-
lated to the weight and nature of the
parcel contents, elimination of paper
wrappers over fiberboard containers and
mandatory use of pressure sensitive,
reinforced tape for closing and rein-
forcing containers.
New regulations to minimize loss
of envelopes and labels attached to
packages are also covered. Further
details on the new regulations are
available at the NATO base Post Office.
Rocky Road gears up for 1st outing
The Keflavik Rocky Road Four Wheel-
ers is sponsoring its first outing to-
morrow to Solhiemajokull. The trip will
get underway from the High School park-
ing lot at 8:30 a.m.
Solhiemajokull is a glacier along
the southern coast of Iceland, near
Skogarfoss.
The club is a new organization on
base for persons interested in off-road
recreation in Iceland. The club meets
every Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Air op-
erations passenger terminal.
While ownership of a four-wheel
drive is not a requirement for member-
ship, most club activities are geared
toward off-road interests.
To participate in club-sponsored
outings, you must be a club member or
be sponsored by a club member.
With summer approaching, the club
promises to be an exciting way to meet
new friends and enjoy the outdoors, a
club spokesman states.
