Due to inflationary payroll
costs, an overall price increase of
four percent in laundry service and
seven percent in dry cleaning ser-
vice will be effective Oct. 24.
The price of laundry/dry clean-
ing service has not been adjusted
since November 1977; however, three
cost of living pay increases have
been granted employees during this
period which regretably necessi-
tates a price increase.

ange news
If you are one of the lucky ones
who can indulge and not bulge, step
up to the steam line and enjoy a
full course dinner. For the medium
appetite, there are krautdogs and
cheesedogs with all the trimmings.
TOYLAND
The shipments of toys are still
arriving. Toyland has shelves full
of stuffed toys (among these are
the popular Muppet Dolls—Fuzzie
Bear, Scooter and'Hermit the Frog).
Host toys are machine washable;
all selections are safe for small
children because these are soft and
without metal parts.
The teenagers have always liked
to decorate their rooms with these
characters and animals. Since se-
lections such as these suit a
variety of ages, it is not too
early to think about Christmas.
Along with a plentiful supply
of Fisher-Price educational toys
are Matchbox, Midget Toy, Tonka,
Corgi and Hot Wheels series of
cars and trucks.
Also, you will find a Hallmark
Christmas card and gift wrap dis-
play in T yland.
MINI-MART
The Mini-Mart features freshly
baked cakes, pies and breads. It
is possible to shop for an entire
meal at the Mini-Mart... the Deli
Stop has a variety of cheeses,
luncheon meats and salads.
A favorite dessert is the old
standby "ice cream" and the Ice-
landic ice cream is probably the
best you will ever taste.
For a refreshing snack, try
the packaged cones and popsicles.

Navy to cut cake

birthday, the Enlisted Dining
Facility will host a cake-cutting
ceremony at noon today.
Navy Sabbath shifted to
Veterans weekend
Navy Sabbath will be observed
Nov. 10-12 this year, based on the
recommendation by the Conference of
Eccclesiastical Endorsing Agents
for the Armed Forces.
This action brings the obser-
vance on the weekend nearest to
Veterans Day, Nov. 11.
In past years, Navy Sabbath was
held on the same weekend as the
Navy Birthday celebration. The
change to Veterans Day weekend was
endorsed by the Navy Chief of Chap-
lains.
Established in 1966 by lay mem-
bers of the Naval Reserve Associa-
tion, Navy Sabbath observances
seek recognition and remembrance
of Navy and Marine Corps men and
women, active, retired and veteran
for their sacrifices to the nation.
It also encompasses Navy and
Marine Corps spouses, children and
parents, and the members and rela-
tives of the reserve components.
When the men and women of the
Navy and Marine Corps have borne
the fatigue of supporting freedom,
their families, too, have served.
These military families share
anxious days of crisis, of separa-
tion and loss of contact.
Navy Sabbath, then, seeks
prayers of thanks for past service
and intercession for the future,
and reminds Navy families that
they do not serve an ungrateful
nation.
