Cost of living rise cited as
cause for nursery rate increase
The base nursery is planning to increase its rates. According to
■e Officer's Wives Club, who operate the nursery, the move was ne-
cessitated by the higher cost of living.
Starting on Monday, the nursery prices will be raised as will the
hot lunch program. The normal
hot lunch of soup, sandwich, des-
sert and milk will now cost 40
cents.

Pilot program
allows personal
moving of goods
With the accent on speed and
efficiency, the Navy is testing a
new program that may enable a
transferred sailor to move his own
personal property at no "out of
pocket" expense to himself.
Arrangements have been made
with nationallyknown vehicle ren-
tal companies to provide Navy mem-
bers with vehicles, packing mater-
ial, and trip information during
a six-month test period, institu-
ted at Naval Supply Centers in
Newport, Norfolk, Oakland and San
Diego.
The "do-it-yourself" method is
for personnel with less than 4,000
pounds, or approximately four
rooms of household goods. It al-
lows the Navyman to pack and load
his own property. He uses a ren-
tal truck to deliverit to his new
home and unpacks it himself.
Packing material, paid for by
the government, may be picked up
by the member from the rental
agency. If he needs help to pack
or load the truck, he may hire
someone and will be reimbursed
after the move.
Fuel, tolls and repairs are to
be handled in two ways, depending
on the agency. They may give the
Navyman a charge card or a cash
advance. The government provides
property damage and liability in-
surance on the move and will as-
sist the owner with a claim,
should any damage occur. An in-
spector from the household goods
offices is also available for as-
sistance at the origin or the
destination.
The owner is given a prescribed
route and number of days to use
the truck. If he deviates from
the route, visiting or sight-
seeing, he must pay the difference
in mileage, fuel and any addition-
al costs for longer use of the
vehicle.
In the initial program, moves
must be made to and from the four
supply regions. The program only
applies to those eligible for
movement of household goods.
Mary Sherman is the nursery
manager and Polly Dimapilis, the
supervisor. Further information
