Make Survey for Schools

A Survey of all college graduates in the Colony will be made during this week through the office of block managers, with Don Elberson in charge, for the purpose of finding prospective teachers for the regular school term to begin in the fall.

Prospective high school students are also asked to fill a form to be distributed this week to indicate courses they would like to take and courses "they would have taken if they were attending regular schools outside," it was announced by the officials of the educational department here today.


Antoku-Watanabe Troth Announced

The engagement of Miss Toriye Antoku, 24, of #4401-A, to Togo Watanabe, 26, of #1101-D, was announced on July 18. They are both formerly of Mt. View, Calif. Baishakunin are Mr. and Mrs. Shuichi Tano and Mr. and Mrs. Tatsuo Koyano.


For Better Living

Tom Yego, formerly of Newcastle, Calif., was elected by the Community Council to head a committee to investigate the possibility of improving the general living condition in Tule Lake.

The committee, it was declared, will make a study of the ramifications involved in the present wage scale and the generally undecided situation of the community projects.

Yago's committee is composed of: Sumio Miyamoto, Ward 3; Henry Taketa, Ward 2, Tom Uyeno, Ward 1; K. Hamatani, Ward 4; M. Kawada, Ward 5; representatives from Ward 6 and 7 will be appointed later.

The Council, Tuesday night, also decided to have the Legal Aid Division of the Project look into the matter of family allowance which the residents in Walerga and Arboga failed to receive while residing in these assembly centers.


Uncalled for Checks Floating

Thirty-nine Marysville checks and 24 Sacramento checks have not been called for. Unless these checks are called for at the east end of the administration building by the end of this week, they will be returned to the treasury department, it was declared by Administrative Officer Niesse.


Watchout for Chicken Pox

As several cases of chicken pox were reported on the train arriving here Tuesday, all parents are asked to watch their children and see to it that they are taken to the hospital's out-patient clinic if they have sore throats, a cough, and skin eruptions. All cases will be hospitalized immediately to prevent spread of the disease.


Revised Repatriation Form Here

A revised form for the Japanese people in Tule Lake seeking repatriation to Japan was received here from the W.R.A. Office in San Francisco. These forms must be signed and handed to Director Shirrell by July 24, it was announced by Internal Security Agent H.S. Jacoby. Information in detail may be obtained from Jacoby or his assistants in the administration building, or at the Social Welfare desk in #1808. The other application form issued last week is now considered void.

A request for repatriation will be accepted from any person 18 years of age or older, who was born in Japan, or who was born in the United States and has dual citizenship. Persons applying for repatriation who are American citizens must understand that by so applying they indicate their willingness to forfeit such citizenship.

When an individual becomes eligible for repatriation, the members of his immediate family also are eligible. The immediate family includes the spouse (husband or wife), a dependent mother, a dependent father, an unmarried child who may be a foster child, stepchild, adopted child, or ward.

The acceptance of a formal request by the W.R.A. does not bind the government of the United States to grant repatriation: nor does the filing of a request form bind the individual or family concerned to accept repatriation at a later date if changed circumstances make it inadvisable at that time.

Score-Keepers Suffer in Games

It was a score-keepers' nightmare when the Tri-State League started their season last Saturday. Exactly 135 runs were scored in four games.

The worst drubbing was suffered by the Ten Pins as they were smeared under by the Screwballs 46 to 1. Next came the Beavers who only had a 31 to 9 score against them at the hands of the Small Frys. The other two contests were "close" with the Jinx defeating the Hospital 19-5 in three innings, and the Shrimps winning from the Go-Getters 15-9.

There is no need for people to call at the Post Office for mail as it is delivered to each apartment twice daily by the block managers.
