MOTHER'S DAY
This day of tribute to motherhood
traces back to the second Sunday in May
1908, when churches in Philadelphia con-
ducted their first Mother’s Day ser-
vices .
To help customers to participate in
the gift-giving tradition which evolved
from that occasion, the Navy Exchange
has available a variety of appropriate
merchandise at reasonable prices.
Personal care appliances, perfumes.,
jewelry and handbags are but a few of
the inexpensive items from which to
choose. But, you had better hurry.
Mother's Day is Sunday.
Next month—June 18 to be exact — is
Father's Day. The May special sales
event includes many items that should
please the most finicky of fathers.
So consider the man of the house when
you inspect the extensive range of
offerings.
COOKWARE DISPLAY
Next week, the Navy Exchange Main
Retail Store will have a Regal Ware
Inc. representative to demonstrate
Temp-Tone Wonder Ware. Regal Ware
Inc. ranks as one of the foremost pro-
ducers of cookware in the United
States.
Cookware sets will be offered well
below the U.S. retail price. The
miracle metal (stainless steel) used
in this cookware offers you, the con-
sumer, cleanliness, strength and dura-
bility. Designed for beauty, it can
be yours for a lifetime.
CIVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Think ahead to June--the gift-giving
month of weddings and graduations. A
large selection of engraveable gifts
is available at the NEX Personalized
Services Center. Select a gift with a
personal touch.
ICELAND SAFARI
Summer is just around the corner,
and the Iceland Safari tours are begin-
ning. The first one is a six-dav tour
June 11.
The traveling routes of the Iceland
Safari tours have been determined with
a view to landscape changes and lush
color abundance and scenery features of
the uninhabited highlands as well as
the villages and small towns at the
seaside.
These tours will show majestic
mountains, picturesque fjords and deep
valleys, swirling geysers and hot
springs and moon sceneries of lava
areas.
You will cross rivulets and rivers
and ride along glacial lakes with float-
ing icebergs; bask in an oasis of tropi-
cal fruits and flowers in greenhouses
amid lava deserts, but, above all, you
will enjoy pure air and clean water
everywhere in Iceland.
WHALE BAY INCLUDED
On the six-day safari (just touching
on some of the highlights)—the first
stop will be Whale Bay, which has the
only whaling station in the northern
hemisphere.
You then travel through the Kaldid-
alur pass (the Viking route) between
the glaciers, Langjokull and Ok, then
on to Thingvellir where the first Ice-
landic Allthing was founded in 930.
You will also cross the river Thjorsa,
Iceland's longest, at the foot of Mt.
Hekla.
FALL FASHION HIGHLIGHTS
Soft, loose and easy-to-wear are the
key words throughout sportswear for Fall
1978.
Fabrics include wool and wool combi-
nations which look and feel like flannel,
jersey, plaids and tweeds. Polyester
knits, acrylic knits and wovens, cordu-
ory, velvet and suede-like fabrics are
important.
Colors most popular this season are
the soft, dusty shades in mauve (blush
pink), lavender, coral and blue as well
as the heather tones in gray, taupe and
sand. The fashion colors are: Plum,
mahogany, raisin or terracotta (rust).
The basics, of course, art1 always impor-
tant--blark, brown, camel, gray, navy

and are longer this season—primarily
28 to 31 inches. Styles are panel
front dirndls, half-circles, six-gore,
soft front-pleated, crystal-pleated,
wraps and button front. Note: Pants
will continue to outsell skirts, but
this will be the biggest skirt season
in years.
BLAZERS TRAIL SHORTLY
The traditional blazer is shorter,
but equally important is the "Annie
Hall" open vest, elongated veskit,
shawl or notched collar vest. Vests
are being worn under and over the
blazer.
Tour£
TRjWEL
In the Orefa district, you will
have a view of Vatnajokull (water
glaciers) which is the greatest glacier
in Europe. From there, the tour goes
to a desert of black sand, caused by
the subglac.ial eruptions of the volcano
Katla.
Lastly, you will drive through the
communities of Ilvolsvollur, Hella and
Selfoss, with a view of the famous
volcano Hekla.
Included in the price are bus
transportation, accommodations in
tents, all meals and guide service
during the tour. You may rent sleeping
bags and air mattresses.
Note: In June and July, it may be
necessary to change the itinerary if
the highland road to Eldgja and Land-
mannlaugar is closed.

Little league
needs players
Little League officials have an-
nounced a last-ditch effort to form a
Senior League Division this season. A
final registration for boys and girls
ages 13-16 will be held Sunday at 2
p.m. at the Youth Center.
An earlier decision, not to have a
league, was made by league officials
because not enough players had regis-
tered for the seniors. However, there
were 22 youngsters who had signed up
and who wanted to play baseball, so
officials will try again to gain more
players—at least enough to field
three teams.
Approximately 20 more players are
needed before the division can be
formed. If, after Sunday, there are
still not enough players, there will
not be a Senior League Division this
year.
Flea market
a success
Having entered more than 60 booths
and individual participants, the Family
Services Center Annual Flea Market tal-
lied $820.97.
Family Services thanks everyone who
attended the yearly event. A special
thanks goes to those persons who helped
advertise and set up the flea market.
A statement of booth and flea market
accounting is posted at the Family
Services Center (Bldg. T-170) for those
personnel who desire further informa-
tion on the profit breakdown.
Ice & Fire presents
'Once Upon
A Mattress’
The Ice and Fire Theater Group will
present its dinner theater production
of "Once Upon A Mattress," a musical
comedy, June 10, 11 and 12 at the Top
ol the Rock Club.
A matinee will be performed also on
June 10 for ages six through 17.
Tickets will be sold soon at the
club office.
Savings Bonds
sales underway
The 197S Air Force Savings Bond
Campaign continues in full swing. Many
people are "discoverii g" the real advan-
tages and benefits of purchasing savings
bonds, especially through the payroll
savings plan. If you have not been
introduced to this excellent investment
opportunity, contact your unit keyworker
at once.

The surface interest is in pointellos,
cables and brushed fabrics.
Shirts/blouses have lots of shirring
and fullness, trimmed with lace, ric-rac
or contrast piping. Accents include
string or ribbon ties and scarfs. Col-
lars have changed to the smaller Peter
Tan or Mandarin styles, and sleeves are
fuller, squared or dolman. The open
neck tunic is also important.
In pantsets and wardrobers, the
blazer or shirt jacket are the basics
with the latest trend, being the
oversized grandfather shirt over pants.
Polyester and polyester blends with a
natural look are the fabrications.
CORRECTION
The article which dealt with ham
radio operations in Iceland in the May 5
edition of the White Falcon was in er-
ror. The agreement is between the
Government of Iceland and the Government
of the United States not between U. S.
Forces in Iceland and the Icelandic
authorities as indicated by the article.
The agreement simultaneously allows for
the licensing of Icelandic ham radio
operators living in the United States
and for the licensing of American ham
radio operators living in Iceland.
