Navy Lt..Menzies and Cmdr, Vanbelois cut through thelanguage bamer to set up a medical appointment forsenior citizen. WI"

Twenty doctors, nurses and techgicians from Ro’z:aRoads Naval Hospital visited Vieques for a free h.lq

campaign at the local dispensary., offering clinics in GeneMedicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Dentistr7 and Lab.

A Navy spokesperson told the; Tim.c. .’_t ,.d.,. F.rgNorton plans toprovider free Navy clinics tl or f

per year since Vieques lacks so many medical sc:vices.

People flocked in and some 250 persons receivedeatment during the one-day operatiun.

The only flies in the ointment were that the new ViequesX-ray machine was not set up and that the Navy did not bringmedications with which to fill prescriptions.

Vieques medical director Dr. Bethsaida MacKenzie said

the X-ray equipment dora/ted by Citi-Corp cannot be

activated without a licensed technician. She also has jobsopen for a lab technician and a dentist.

Dear Gypsy Woman:Would you plea define "liberated woman" for me.

Somehow thinkwe ladies get the short end ofthe stick evenin these ERA days.My husband tells me I’m a liberated woman: I’ve got a

job, I’ve got my own car, my kids are grown and out of thehonse so I’ve plenty of time to myseLfnow. But, somehowtime for myself still means waiting on him, doing theshopping, dishes, laundry and all those wiley typedrudgeries in addition to my job, baby sitting for thegrandchildren and oil changes for the car.

Sometimes think the only way to get liberated is to have

a sex chaage, Only then will be free ofmy womanly duties.

Signed: Charlotte still chained.Dea Charlutte ( or is it Carl? ):

Vieques Beaches NotAlways Deserted

Two views of the same beach on the same weekend andall this at the center of the residential (commercial strip?)section of Esperanza during what travel writers wotdd call

the off season.Fortunately for the recluse, however, if one beach

becomes too crowded there’s always another and another.July, it would seem, starts offwith the Independence Day

celebration. But th fact is July started offin June with the

San Juan Day beach celebration which cuhninates in a

midnight dip in honor of St. John the Baptist.Then, with a brief respite to re-stock the beer coolers and

portable pantries, the ambulatory food& drink stands are

re-positioned for the Vieques Five-Day Fiestas which

include dancing, shows, games and a carnival parade.The locals will be out in full force in caravans and carol3

sites as folks flock in from the other islands on planes and

ferries and private yach to party in Vieques.When that action dies down it’ll be time to get ready for

Constitution Day weekend to celebrate the founding of theCommonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Vieques celebrates all Federal and local holidays and

throws in some of its own like the Festival of the Arepa, laLangosta and el Bill. Every weekend and even GoodFridayis prime time for a beach party.

Mi marido me dice que soy una mujer liberada: tengo un

trabajo, tengo mi propio automovil, y ahora que esafncrecido los muchachos y fuera tie la casa (engo bastantetiempo para mi. Pero, teoxr tiemp)para mi todavla significaservirle, hacer Ins compras, lavar Ins pintos, la ropa y todasesas monotonfas cn adici6nami wabajo, hacer"baby sitting"para Ins nietos y cambiarle el aceite al carro.
