Living Accommodations The majority of visiting parties will be housed on Parry Island, either in aluminum buildings or in tents. The available living quarters of both types have been allocated by AEC among the three majorcatgories: i. e., the military, AEC, and Holmes & Narver. The assignment of each particular individual will be made by the designated authority for cach of these major groups. Under normal conditions accommodations are not crowded, and living conditions are quite pleasant. There will, however, be shore periods of a few days during which there will be concentrations on Parry Island, at which time there will be unavoidably crowded conditions. A certain number of people will be housed for varying periods on one of the other islands, at which location they will be assigned tents, which are mounted on concrete slabs, and equipped with comfortable beds. They are in all respects as pleasant as the aluminum buildings. All things considered, it will be impracticable for people to retain accommodations at more than one location at the same time. This is especially applicable during periods of peak population. Therefore, when an individual moves from one site to another, even for a short period, it will be necessary to utilize his primary housing billet for the use of some other indvidual. He should, therefore, either take all of his belongings with him on these temporary trips, or arrange to store them in space which will be made available for this purpose. Water Supply Each of the occupied islands is self-supporting in the matter of fresh water, and all water used for drinking, cooking, and showers is fresh water which is distilled on the island. While the supply is considered adequate, it will be essential to limit the use of fresh water to a minimum during periods of peak population, andat all times everyone should make a consciouseffort to conserve water and avoid waste. Messing Accommodations Aluminum buildings are provided on each island for use as a mess hall and kitchen. The seating capacity is designed for normal populations, and it will be necessary to usc two or three seatings for each meal during peak population periods. There will also be shore periods on Parry Island during which temporary mess tents and field kitchens will be employed. The supply of fresh and frozen food is adequate, and the variety has been considered excellent. Each individual at the Atoll is charged $10.50 per week for all accom- modations, including food, housing, and laundry, insofar as facilities permit. This charge is pro-rated for short periods at the rate of $.50 per meal. temporary facilities for billeting transients who may become stranded on Collection of this fee will be made periodically by the Holmes & Narver Administrative Officer from individuals whose stay at the Atoll covers a prolonged period of time, and upon departure for temporary visitors. The acceptance of personal checks is not permitted; therefore payments must be made by cash, postal money order, cashier's check or traveller’s check. In all cases in which an individual's biller assignment is transferred from one site to another, he should so notify the Camp Department Office, in order that records can be properly maintained, and various service facilities, such as quarters, bedding, laundry, and messing, can be efficiently regulated. Medical Facilities In emergency cases, such as disruption of travel facilities, there will be outlying sites. A small emergency hospital is provided on Parry Island, where there is a licensed physician and surgeon anda licensed dentist. There are also male hospital attendants or male nurses on Parry Island and on each of the other Laundry Facilities Laundry facilities are provided and operated by the management, and are available for the use of personnel onall islands on the Atoll. Laundry is collected once each week, and is normally delivered three days later. During peak population periods it may be necessary to limit the amount of “finished” laundry for each individual. All individuals should acquaint themselves with the proper procedure regarding preparation and delivery of laundry bundles, and the schedule of pick-up and delivery of laundry at various sites. This information is avail- able in information bulletins which are posted. 6 occupied islands, where first aid stations are maintained. These facilities should be utilized primarily for emergency treatment. In those cases requiring prolonged medical care the patient is normally transferred co Kwajalein, Honolulu, or the mainland, where more complete facilities can be provided. Transportation within the Atoll There are three types of personnel transportation facilities within the Atoll, as follows: (a) Aurcraft. CTG 34 provides a certain number of small personnel aircraft for transportation between the various islands. These are normally assigned to Task Group 3.1 on a day-to-day basis, the number depending 7
