Director's Message: Proud of Our City

The population of Tule Lake Project is now 15,020, as compared to 447 on May 27. In normal times we would be called a "boom" town.

But we are not a "boom" town. I marvel each day that we function as smoothly as we do. In fact I am very proud of the way that each person has settled down, doing his individual job. Therefore I feel that we are well along with our organization and from now on may be considered a thriving, busy American city.

This does not mean that we won't have new problems each day. Every city has new situations confronting it. But with your steadfast cooperation and patience I believe Tule Lake Project will solve each emergency as it arises.

Every visitor, official or personal, gives the same report on fine spirit and morale. And, you are as proud of that as I am. We must maintain our good start.

We have a fine chance here to make Tule Lake the outstanding War Relocation Authority project. With this as our goal, let us each do his daily job with cheerfulness and earnestness. In that way we shall have a city which will be a credit to the American way of life.

ELMER L. SHIRRELL

Footprints

The formidable PACEMAKER tells us that the girls are having tough competition. And this time, it's the boys!

Each boy was given a half pound of meat, two potatoes, two slices of meat, a half onion and a single match. The test was to build their fire without paper and cook the food without utensils. Good ol' caveman style, we'd say!

Ha! They were Boy Scouts and they passed!

City Beautification: Residents Reveal Love of Beauty

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever."

These immortal words of Keats are being practiced and proved in Tule Lake.

Neat little gardens, both vegetable and rock gardens, line the front yards of many enterprising, nature-loving enthusiasts. Those handy with saw and hammer have wrought beautiful creations in the form of shielding porches. Homes are being modified into a mere "homey" atmosphere.

Merrily humming a tune to the steady z-z-z-z-z-z of a saw, S. Tahara of 402-A is enveloped in the task of making additions to his already beautiful porch. The porch is constructed along the pattern of a quaint Japanese shrine. Sliding panel and Japanese caves showed careful and skilled craftsmanship. Looking through the open panel of the porch, further influence of Japanese design was evident. A two-tone desk-bookcase combination cabinet in dark and light brown with typical Japanese styling adorned the far corner of the room. A matching screen plus a lounge chair completed the set. The work took him about a month Tahara said. "And it's only half finished." he added.

Most colorful porch is the one which adorns apartment 1502-D. A red sign simulating a blazing neon blinker reading "Hollywood--Paradise of the Pacific" perches atop the roof; a definite touch of the flaring spirit of youth contrasted to the reserved placidity of issei handiwork. Arrows reading "Hollywood" point to the miniature arched gateway which leads into a miniature garden. Along the walk are midget loving benches, more for picture than for purpose. W.M.

Riverside, Flush Tie

What was heralded as a pitching duel between Sam Ishida and Beans Yamamoto turned out to be a hitting circus with both sides clouting the horsehide for extra base hits. The Riversiders scored 2 runs in the first half of the first with two out to jump into the lead. S. Kawano, leadoff man for the Flushers, started the second half of the initial inning with a bingle. Domon struck out and Yamamoto flied out to account for two outs. A single by J. Hayashida followed by Kageta's home run put the Flushers out in the lead. In the second stanza the Riverside boys tallied four big runs on three hits and a series of errors only to have their opponents score three on one bingle. The Loomis outfit squeezed a lone run in the third on Chuck Hayashida's hard hit three bagger. Big Sam Ishida clouted out a 350 foot home run in the same inning to tie the count at 7 all.

Both hurlers showed they had "stuff as they each struck out nine men. Pitcher Ishida took batting honors for the day as he singled twice and homed in three trips to the plate. Jackson and Chuck Hayashida, with two hits apiece, led the Royal Flushes in the batting column.

Lions to Play Marysville

The two favored teams of the National league, the Red Lions and the Marysville nine, will meet in a crucial game at 6 p.m. at the hardball diamond.

Although the Lions are reputed to have a young fast ball club, Marysville's experienced pitching staff combined with Haruo Yamamoto's catching make the Hub City squad the definite favorite.


Imai vs. Bellevue

Bellevue, fresh from their 6-1 triumph over the Holland nine, will meet the strengthened Imais tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. The Imais, who lost to the West Sacramento Bums 9-8 in the season's first game, will be the underdogs, although a few additions this week may make a difference.

Coach Imai is expected to rely on the chucking of George Sakamoto, Saki Irokawa and Frank Muranaka.
