Holiday hints for
fire prevention
In connection with flights to
Scotland Jan. 11 and 14, the Tour
Office is offering a special low
price package in Aviemore Center.
Included in the package are hotel
accommodations for three nights,
continental breakfasts and dinners.
Also included is a free ticket for
unlimited use of swimming pool and
ice rink.
Accommodations, however, are
limited and will be handled on a
first-come, first served basis.
Aviemore is an all-season
recreation center, located in the
Scottish Highlands. It offers a
variety of outdoor sports—skiing
(for both experts and beginners
with full equipment rental availa-
ble) , karting, golf (on four
18-hole courses or two 9-hole),
hiking and thermal wave flying.
Inside, one may find swimming,
sunning (in the sauna/solarium)
and ice skating.
For children, Aviemore is a
dream world. Santa Claus Land
is open year around and offers
such thrills as Santa's Cabin,
Toy Land, Pet Farms and Wishing
Wells.
At night, Aviemore is alive
with variety. Dance until the
wee hours at a disco or ballroom.
Take in a live concert or simply
join a folk singing group. You
may even try a British cinema.
Aviemore also sports a large
variety of bars, lounges and
restaurants. Many of these es-
tablishments supply their own
entertainment while you gorge on
pastries for which Scotland is
renowned.
Exchange notes
The Hong Kong Tailor will be
closed from Dec. 20 to Feb. 5. If
patrons have anything to be picked
up, they should do so before Dec.
20 or they will have to wait until
Feb. 5.
The Navy Exchange Car Wash, lo-
cated behind Public Works in Bldg.
507, may be used by buying tickets
at the Service Station. Car Wash
hours are Friday noon to 4 p.m. and
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sun-
day.
As a shopper in Aviemore (or in
Inverness, a short jump away) you
may choose from tweeds and knit-
wear. Don't forget, however, the
pottery and woodcraft which are
traditional Scottish products.
Visit the Tour Office for more
information or call 4200/4420.
With the approach of the holi-
day season, it is time to start
fire prevention planning. Don't
let fire mar the festivities by
careless acts. Marly additional haz-
ards are introduced into homes,
clubs, and other places of public
assemblance during these times. The
added hazards include use of flam-
mable decorative materials, large
gatherings of people, careless smo-
king habits, overloading of elec-
trical wiring and other conditions
inherent to the prevailing spirit
of fire.
While these hazards are well
recognized by fire prevention per-
sonnel, they are not always appar-
ent, thought of, or taken seriously
by people creating the conditions.
Make fire safety first on your
Christmas list, so that you may en-
joy the rest of your Christmas
gifts.
To assist in making this year
fire free, attention should be paid
at home by:
