The treatment is given to provide care to keep the employee on the job. Another form of health care is medical surveillance. Included in this .category is the Chemical Personnel Reliability Program.

Karl Stinson. "It is our desire to provide health care for- them." Any civilian living on post., who works for a contractor or the Department of Defense is authorized medical care throughout the health clinic, .' "We do employees while contracted workers must pay $58. These rates are established by DoD. , In the civilian community, Stinson believes the average cost for health services is twice - as expensive. One form of health care available to civilians on post is the Occupational Health Program. Stinson said. The care is provided to civilians for a minimal fee. "There is illness and evacuate .the patient to a. private physician or hospital, if necessary." "Dugway is one of four or illnesses. lations in the United States which is authorized to treat civi- lians, who live on post," Stinson said. "Of the four, Dugway is the largest, as far as civilians living on post" With three physicians and roughlyr 50 other personnel on the staff, Stinson feels the clinic has the people and the capacity to treat the community. He feels that civilians should, use the clinic as an alternative to making the trip into Salt Lake . ness," Stinson said. The clinic also provides palla-tiv- e treatment, which is necessary to relieve pain and suffering, Stinson explained. "We provide care to stabilize Under OHP, the patient is City or Tooele. .

Law afiSecfls liqiyoB' hadloinig the purchase price from the state; at Hill, a by Michael Perez A new liquor law is quiring package beverage stores and clubs to purchase their liquor through - the state rather than direct from the distilleries, according to the Army Times. The manager of the Package Beverage Store on post, Diane Jolley, said purchases from the state will start next month and estimated the price on hard liquor may increase six percent. "The new law means extra money for the state since they're tacking 15 percent on the price of a case," Jolley said. All liquor purchases will be made through the Utah State Liquor Control warehouse located in Tooele. Liquor used to be received through a warehouse at Hill Air Force Base. The switch to buying from the state has advantages and disadvantages. "From the' control board, liquor can be picked up monthly, every other -' week or weekly whereas from Hill, purchases could be made only monthly," Jolley said. "In addition, the freight charge is included in freight and administration charge were added on to the purchase price," she said. However, the state doesn't carry half the name : brand liquors the package beverage store provides, 100 Jolley said. Utah State Liquor Control carries AFB. Hill less name brands of liquor than "I can request some name brands from the state but they must be worth their while," Jolley said. ' In addition, the state will only provide a 750 millilitre size bottle instead of the litre size. Although it was reported that the new law would affect funds provided to Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs, Jolley said the amount of funds which Morale Support receives will be the same. She expressed the view that if anything would affect the amount of money morale support receives, it would be the Army's program to control the consumption of alcohol. This, she said, would cause a slowdown in the amount of liquor . . . ' Vinnell takes over base contract very important effort," Klauberg said. "This effort is essential to the security of the government and we're going to give it more than our best by Use Slmunacl A 15.8 million dollar contract was awarded to the Vinnell Corporation to take over base opera--tkm- s including housing, motor pool and supply.
