Currently, FE Supply is authorized two persons, and has two working in the shop, Mr. Lloyd Christensen and Mr. Jerry Bishop. FE Supply carries plumbing, electrical and some carpentry shop items, as well as some refrigeration and heating items. These items are the most commonly used items and are supposed to be turned over or used within 75 days, according to Christensen. comSOME of these day-to-dused items include: monly fittings, valves, nails, switches, light bulbs to name a few.

IM NOT quite sure who started pushing the issue of having the ramps built but I really think its a great idea, he added. It took approximately three weeks, working weekends, to put the ramps in the front and hack of the buildings. These were the first ones to lie built in some time, he said, We followed the requirements as closely as hffil At-.vX.- V3r--- , i According to the requirements there should lie a downgrade ratio of one inch per every foot of the ramp, he said. It is supposed to be a gradual downgrade unlike the one at the com- missary. It is definitely too steep.

Another move to help the handicapped will Ire the moving of the Civilian Personnel Office to the first floor of 5330. NO DATE has been set for the move as of yet, CPO Chief, Tony Witkowski said, but the primary reason for the move is to make ourselves Ire more accessible to the handicapped. Prather indicated that there has been some talk about making the back entrance to 5330 a parking space for the handicapped person. It would be a good idea because the concrete would make it easy for the person to get into the bulding. DOORS that open electronically are also another possibility. Accord . ing to Prather they may become a necessity in the near future just as the handicapped entrances are. Even if we only had one handicapped person on post the changes would be justified. Besides walking up the ramps is easer than stairs, he concluded. Attention Commissary Baggers A meeting will be held Monday morning May 18 at 9 a.m. for the purpose of electing a head bagger.

' Branch, if requirements persist these entrance changes. could be just the beginning. I BELIEVE there is a law requiring that every bidding that is designed for public use must have entrances to facilitate the handicapped, he Said. Other buildings this could affect in the future are post headquarters, the library, the gymnasium and the liowl-in- g alley to name a few. There are many different regulations governing how these ramps are to be built, he said. The standards we use are set by a group who call H one-mon- th easier for them, to get the materials to do their jobs, and for us, to keep track of and maintain our stocks without needless purchasing. This means the jobs can be finished quicker, and even more importantly, we can save money doing it. To make it easier: for the handicapped, permanently or. those with temporary conditions, there have been new handicapped entrances built in the front and rear of the Day Care Center and building 5330.

What happened to the people of Minamata is as traumatic and as chilling as the fate that befell the citizens erf those other two towns in 1945. Minamata is also the home of consumers or citizens as it might be in the United States. At least, that was the case in 1953. After that year, Chisso was never again to feel special and immune from public attack. In 1953, a strange disease was made public for the first time. It struck seemingly without reason, affecting healthy fishermen as well as newborn babies. The symptoms of the disease were harsh and swift to appear - dizziness, a numbness in the extremities, an inability to walk straight.
