Package Store sets new policy affecting liquor sales prices The COnsolidated Package Store (CPS), operated by the Recreation Services Department, has discontinued its former policy of matching Ridgecrest sales prices for beverages and Jiquor. The change was made because it was felt that to foHow this previous practice didn't allow the CPS the freedom it desired to stage its own sales. This former policy also resulted in the depletion of stocks on hand, and sometimes resulted in selling some beverages and liquor at less than the cost paid for them by the Package Store. The CPS takes advantage of volume dis- count purchases and then passes such sav- ings on to its customers. At the present time, a variety of price-discounted bever~ ages can be purchased at the Package Store. The CPS is open Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The store is closed on Sundays anil holidays. C~r;~ekend Roundup Farewell party set for Capt.

Marcus AME2 Marcus picked as NWC Sailor of Month Aviation Structural Mechanic, Safety Equipmentman 2nd Class Chriss E. Marcus has been selected as NWC's Bluejacket of the Quarter for the period of April through June. A veteran of six years of service in the Navy, AME2 Marcus is assigned to the EgresslEnvironmental Systems Shop (seat shop) of the NWC Aircraft Department's Aircraft Support Division. According to AMSC A. L. Hill, who nominated Petty Officer Marcus for the Bluejacket of the Quarter honor, " His supervisory skills far exceed the normal second class petty officer." This was evi- dent in the fact that until recently, he filled • a billet normally held by a first class petty officer, and supervised seven other enlisted personnel. NWC's Bluejacket of the Quarter, who has been at China Lake since January 1983, was commended for "his 'can do' and 'will do' spirit which have earned him the respect of all who come into contact with him," wrote AMSC Hill in the letter nominating Petty Officer Marcus for the honor he has received.
