ALI FIGHTS TOOTH DECAY—Former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Muham-
mad Ali, had an encounter with "Mr. Tooth Decay" last month before a
cheering crowd of 2,500 children and adults at the foot of the Washington
Monument in our nation's capital. Needless to say, the champ whipped
tooth decay just as he has beaten most of his other opponents in the past.
He cautioned children, however, that tooth decay dosen't give up easily,
and emphasized the importance of brushing teeth regulary. The above photo
was provided by the Naval Station Dental Department which reminds you to
do your part in the Navy's Preventive Dentistry Program by brushing your
teeth with a flouride tooth paste and by flossing daily.
NEX plans to complete many improvement
projects, maintain its "Satisfaction Guaranteed” policy
This year is in its early stages,
but already the Navy Exchange is
planning for the completion of sev-
eral projects to improve service to
the NATO community here. The Navy
Exchange is continually striving to
maintain its "Satisfaction Guaran-
teed" policy and these changes for
1980 should help in achieving the
ultimate goal—complete customer
satisfaction.
The Viking Cafeteria will be com-
pletely remodeled with an expected
completion date of October 1980. At
a total cost of $160,000, the remod-
eling project will consist of re-
placing all service equipment,
tables and chairs. The entire din-
ing area will receive a modern, com-
fortable decor. Two serving lines
will be installed providing full
meal service as well as fast food
service. The relocation of the
cashier's stand will provide more e-
fficient service by being able to
accommodate two patrons at one time.
The dining area will be expanded by
600 square feet and a new entrance
will be constructed. A larger ba-
king oven will also be installed
which will allow a larger selection
of baked goods for sale at the Mini
Mart. This includes breads, pies
and pastry items.
Personalized services will be
offering several new services for
1980. A mail-order optical pre-
scription service will be imple-
mented to provide our patrons the
services of a qualified optician at
a reduced cost. All the patrons
have to do is select their frames,
provide the prescription and be fit-
ted when their glasses are received
from the distributor. The time in-
volved will be about four weeks but
should be a savings of 35-40 percent
in comparison to current prices. In
addition to this, a new refrigerated
floral display will be installed to
provide fresher flowers for patrons.
For the Navy Lodge, 1980 will be
a year of improvements. Currently
work is being done to paint and lay
new carpeting throughout the entire
lodge. Eleven rooms have had new
kitchen units installed and all the
rooms have been furnished with new
color televisions. The painting and
carpeting is being done now. The
laundry room will be moved form the
second floor to the ground floor and
expanded to provide more washers and
dryers in an effort to meet the
needs of our patrons.
The main retail store entered
1980 with plans of continued expan-
sion. To start, Toyland will be
finished with inclusion of a suspen-
ded ceiling and new walls. The em-
ployee's lounge is being moved to
allow for an expanded furniture
sales area and showroom adjacent to
Toyland. This project, at a cost of
$130,000, will provide a larger se-
lection and more comfortable envi-
ronment for our customers to shop
for furniture and accessories.
