Hill Air Force Base Is 'Home' To Five Centers . When a U.S. Air Force C-5 transport tran-sport based in the Phillipines needs new landing gear, it's supplied from Hill Air Force Base outside Ogden. Hill is home to one of five air logistics centers that supply the Air .Force's worldwide network with millions of parts and equipment that are necessary to keep aircraft and units combat-ready. Donald R. Cramer, Hill's chief of employee development and training, explains that logistics is "the science of having what you need, where you need it, when you need it." And training the 125,000 managerial and technical personnel who maintain the Air Force logistics system is a logistics problem in itself. it-self. Cramer says the Air Force has found a solution in teleconferencing. Four years ago a teleconference training program was introduced to Hill's Ogden Air Logistics Center personnel. The Teleteach Expanded Delivery System (TEDS) is used to link Air Force classrooms across the country and teach an intensive curriculum about the various logistics systems and how they work. Classes focus on different aspects aspec-ts of logistics: materials management, contract negotiations, supply techniques and a host of short courses as well. Cramer says classes provided by TEDS are part of Hill's $750,000 training program, which includes traditional classroom teaching, too. Hill is linked through TEDS to four other air logistics centers-at bases in California, Oklahoma, Texas and Georgia-and to the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, where classes originate. The widespread classrooms are tied together by the Bell System network. Classes are equipped with speakers, microphones, TV monitors and electronically sensitive sen-sitive blackboards that instantly transmit the instructors' and students' drawings to TV monitors throughout the network. An auxiliary satellite system is being considered to allow students to see their instructors on TV monitors. Cramer credits the TEDS program with a substantial increase in the amount of people receiving AFIT courses. In the past, costs and available space limited the number of Hill AFB employees who could at-tent at-tent the AFIT courses to about a dozen per year. "Travel, per diem and miscellaneous costs added up to about $2,000 per student," Cramer said. "Teleteach classes now train hundreds of personnel right at Hill each year, with no travel expense or the disruption of spending long periods of time away from the base." According to Dr. Ron Christopher, TEDS manager at AFIT, "The success of TEDS is dependent upon the commitment of the faculty, the reliability of the system and the dedication of site monitors like Ray Warner at Hill." In addition to training, the TEDS network is used for meetings amoung members of the air logistics centers. "One advantage of the network net-work is that our equipment specialists-engineers, for instance-and instance-and top level management can get together to share ideas or discuss business problems," Cramer explained. ex-plained. The Air Force Logistics Command Com-mand doesn't build the Air Force equipment and weapons systems, but it is charged with keeping them running smoothly. Cramer believes the TEDS network works well in training personnel in the latest 'techniques and most efficient procedures for Air Force weapons systems. "We can get a lot of information out over the network and that helps us better serve the needs of Air Force For-ce units that are based worldwide," Cramer said. County Cremation Plan Upsets Local F.lorticians Cremation in lieu of burial for Utah County indigents has been proposed by Utah County commissioners. com-missioners. The cost is $230 for cremation compared to $780 for the cost of embalming and burial. The proposal drew the ire of the Funeral Directors' Association. Tom Sanderson, manager of Olpin-Sundberg Olpin-Sundberg Mortuary of Orem, said it takes from them the opportunity to serve the families in the area. They also object to taking the handling of funerals out of the county since Utah County does not have a crematorium. The local firm which handles cremations is only a branch office for a Salt Lake City mortuary. Dee Olpin of Pleasant Grove said the county is forcing indigent families to choose cremation as a matter of economics. He also said a commission secretary told directors they must give only a graveside service ser-vice because the county won't pay for a full funeral. "If the family wants a funeral service, I am not going to tell them they can have only a graveside service," ser-vice," declared Olpin. He pointed out that the county has only about 10 such burials a year. At present local morticians have been subsidizing the county for indigent in-digent burials. They feel the county should be willing to pay the costs at insist "We think the reimbursement should be brought up to cost. We are willing to do it for cost, but we don't want to lose money," said Richard Huff, a local mortician. Olpin also pointed out that the cities will not reduce the cost for cemetery lots for indigent burials, and they must pay the full cost for vaults and other services. "Why should the funeral directors direc-tors be the only ones who must subsidize sub-sidize the costs?" he asked. Why is the county unwilling to pay funeral costs for indigents when they pay the cost of legal defense for criminals and medical expenses for indigents. County Commission Chairman Keith Richan said the county does not pay all medical bills, but only a portion. He said the county is required by law to provide legal defense for criminals. "We do what is legally mandated," man-dated," he said. He said the county plans to adopt a policy and adopt it Feb. 1. He suggested Sanderson could represent the funeral directors in making recommendations concerning concer-ning the policy. ff"fO) ; rd)(()) h: : y V.Vy ULiU vj LziiLl u b i J REPAIRS YoBwwt New Sets II r iP) RELINES: pieas?p It &krSj If Frol 374-5J,68 1. ,i , DENTAL ' J ,'Z?j H Includes: choice of Potatoe, warm roll, JU ;,: J WY II choice of Desert and the "All you can eat" rlr Salad Buffet.
