Page 2 The White Falcon February 22, 1980 Conservation is everybody’s job Why conserve utilities? Conserv- ation is good and waste is bad. We Americans have been taught that since birth and ignored it nearly as long. We overheat our buildings, throw leftovers away, use twice as much bath water as we need, and drive to work alone in a car with a high horsepower engine. All this is neither good for the economy nor good for the Navy- not when practiced at Naval shore activ- ities. Wasted utilities hurt all of us in the Navy on all levels. They hurt the Naval organization as a whole, because the Navy must operate on a limited budget that is being watched more closely each year. They hurt us in achieving our goals, which are basically to keep our ships and naval aircraft operating around the calendar and around the globe in top fighting trim. They hurt us directly, as individuals performing our jobs, because our reputations, our job security, and our ability to fund improvements at our own activities depend directly on how efficiently we run our plants. All of us are "for" saving money for the Navy and the taxpayers in general. We tend to ask, "How can the operations of my department really make any difference? And conversely, we ask "How will conser- vation help my activity? How will it help my department? How will it help me?" Consider first the mission of the activity. Conservation of utilities puts it in a better posture to carry out Its mission effectively. It can better handle emergencies, for ex- ample, and emergencies are inescap- able in military operations. Wasted utilities hurt the Navy no matter where the waste occurs. The goals of any conservation program remain the same; to promote utili- ties conservation at all shore act- ivities all over the world. Don’t be fuelish GAS I When the snow goes, the litter shows We would like to thank all our friends and the Hospital staff for their help, prayers, and visits after the accident and during the long recovery period.

Visit your library for good book Anyone who has ever been to Hawa- ii has probably enjoyed recognizing a familiar beach or hotel in the forces of crime in our 50th state on the television program Hawaii Five- 0. The same pleasure of recogni- tion, as well as the same kind of action-drama, is found in a new mys- tery by Noah Webster called An Inci- dent in Iceland. The hero is Jonathan Gaunt, a Scottish civil servant who is sent to Iceland on routine business but soon becomes the would-be victim of a hired killer. While trying to find out the reason, Gaunt passes many familiar landmarks, such as Reykjavik's airport and harbor area, the Loflieder Hotel, Keflavik Air- port and base, and a "deserted lava wilderness." (Who hasn't been there?) He encounters several auth- entic Icelandic characters and even a few American servicemen. In spite of his surroundings, Gaunt em- erges as somewhat more human and ■less rock than McGarrett. But like its TV mystery counterpart, An Inci- dent in Iceland is fast-paced, light arid puts an island on the map. It is available at the Naval Station Library. Several other new arrivals in the area of mystery/suspense include: M/Blo The Burglar Who Liked to Quote Kipling F/Ebe A Lonely Place to Die M/Est Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Holmes oOOO C> O e> o o e>o o o o o 0 „ 0 oo o0 0»» COMMANDER ICELAND DEFENSE FORCE RADM Richard A.
