The library staff does desire a

a month. This will enable pre-
school children to have special time
devoted to reading for an hour a
day. Volunteers, who are needed
now, will do the reading for these
children. Anyone interested in
helping is welcome to call 4510 for
more information.
Third grade students (left to right) Tina Belanger, 9, Tina Me Afee, 8 and
Ashlyn Swartz, 8 point out some of the important lessons 'Grover' teaches
them in one of the donated books within the children's section of the lib-
rary. A story hour will begin in 4 to 6 weeks enabling pre-school child-
ren to devote time to reading each day, but the volunteers are yet to be
found. Those who are interested should call 4510. (Photos by PHI Ernie

NBS notes
After the holidays, FM 88.5
started airing Carmon Dragon's
Classical music program five days
a week at 7:05 p.m.
Unfortunately, the computer
that controls the FM station has
chosen this time frame to act up.
Actually, because the computer is
designed to operate the FM station
without the aid of additional per-
sonnel it has a "silence sensor"
built in. This tells the computer
to advance to the next programming
source in the event that it sen-
ses a pre-determined length of
silence.
Since the introduction of Car-
mon Dragon on a five-time a week
basis, it has been learned that
several classical selections have
passages of silence in excess of
the computer tolerance. Conse-
quently the computer aborts Car-
mon Dragon and returns to normal
programming sequence. This causes
understandable chagrin amongst the
classical music aficionado of the
NATO Base.
The management of the U.S. Navy
Broadcasting Service has taken
several iniatives to avoid repe-
tition of these interuptions.
Pleae bear with them. If the
problem persists, they will con-
tinue to seek alternatives.
