Impressed with the morale of Tule Lake's residents 148 visiting Rotarians and their families from Klamath Falls left the city with only praises after they had been feted to a dinner-program by the Council and the administrative staff at #1520 Tuesday night.

So pleased were the visitors that in addition to paying for their meals they donated a generous sum to Morris Abe, Council representative.

After a brief period of greetings by Gerry Wakayama, of the Council and the response by William Mills, president of the Rotary Club, the guests were treated to a delightful program. The schedule included selections by the choir, vocal solos by Yoshiye Sakumura and Fumiko Yabe, tap dance by Yukio Shimoda, tumbling by Emeric Ishikawa, and musical numbers by Tak Ota and his Royal Hawaiians. Songs were led by Sam Takagishi.

Project Director Shirrell who concluded the evening with a short farewell message stated that this visit not only made many friends for the City but was a fine movement all around.

Nucleus for co-op organization in Tule Lake was completed at organizational meetings held in Wards 7 and 6 Tuesday night to select the remaining ward representatives for the advisory board.

Frank Natsuhara and C. Taketa were selected as representatives of their respective wards.

With the inclusion of these two wards, all seven wards are now represented on the advisory board.

In Ward 7 the meeting was held at #7007 and was attended by about 50 persons, both issei and nisei.

Bob Ota and Fumi Sakamoto, representing Don Elberson, spoke to the group.

The two speakers stated that exceptional interest was shown, and that the group was in favor of getting the organization started immediately.

At a meeting held at #5008 Tad Tomita, Ward 5 representative, spoke to the group. Louis Oki was chairman of the meeting.

Co-op discussion groups will be started immediately in all wards. At present these groups will be limited to two block representatives.

After the completion of the course, these men in turn will conduct discussion groups within their respective blocks, to thoroughly acquaint the residents with fundamentals of co-op organization.

We the People

Editor, Tulean Dispatch: I want to raise a "stink" about the stench that emanates from the sewage. The residents of Block 34 and proximity are constantly under the "gas attack" and it's seriously getting intolerant.

My appetite is ruined and my nights are sleepless. This obnoxiousness has been referred to our councilman time and time again but nothing has been done about it. R.N. Block 34.

(Imhoff tanks and two units of pumpers are being constructed to digest sludge and eliminate the odor nuisance. The digestion plant will be in full operation within two weeks, according to H.E. Allengbaugh, Chief of the City's water supply and sewage disposal. The DISPATCH will carry further details on sewage disposal at a later date. -- ED.)

Editor, Tulean Dispatch: Nothing discourages performers on the stage as to have a "deadpan" audience that is indifferent to any talent. They don't appreciate the medium of utilizing applause to register their contentment. Maybe Tule Lake audiences are hard to please (though we've seen some super talents), maybe they don't enjoy the shows (if so why continue having talent shows?), or maybe they use their hands to sit on; but they're surely reluctant to applaud -- applause which pats performers on the back and applause which means so much to them who try so hard. What about it, Tuleans. At the next amateur show let's give out with some good 'ole American spirit and all have a good time. W.M.

A PLEA: A plea was made from residents living in block #41 to people going to and from Community Store No. 3 in Ward 5.

Main roads are asked to be used instead of the course between barracks. The dust raised--hampers all efforts to keep apartments and washings clean. CLIFFORD YAMADA, block manager.

THE OTHER
...morning I wandered into the library to while away a few moments. I thumbed through tens of books 'til I finally happened upon Robert R. Updegraff's "The Sixth Prune". It's just a little book, some 60 pages in all. Perhaps, the yellow cover bedecked with red crosses and crowns had something to do with it, but anyway, I took it and read it thru.

IT'S NOT
...so much the story or the way it's written that impressed me, but rather the thought oft left behind that blessed the few moments in the library.

"IT'S GIVING
...just a little bit more than you just have to give," as Ezra says, was the symbol of the sixth prune Harriet gave to her boarders when she took Mary's place as cook. Mary had been giving five.

THE STORY
...isn't important here; it's the thought symbolized by the sixth prune that is. How often in this Colony life, you and I could have given that sixth prune to someone, some thing and yet did not. There's a poem that brings that point out beautifully, but for the life of me, I can't recall it.

IN TIMES
...like these, when we see so much of one another (we just can't escape that) and our social life is so limited, the natural tendencies are one of indifference to things and persons. Life becomes monotonous and stale. But through it all, remember that giving just a little bit more than you just have to give to whatever you are associating with will make things a lot more pleasant. Too, thoughtful little words and phrases at the right time helps sweeten this small world of ours many, many folds.

At the pumping disposal plant, located in the northern end of the City, THE DISPATCH reporter was taken through the chlorination processing plant by Henry Omachi, the civil engineer in charge.

Inside was found an extensive array of humming motors, walls of immense switch-boxes, complicated testing apparatus and the chlorinator with rows of liquid chlorine tanks.

It was indicated that the sewage is being chlorinated with sufficient doses to exert bactericidal action on disease producing (pathogenic) organisms. The process does not eliminate the obnoxious odor, but the newly constructed structure with the Imhoff tanks and two units of pumpers, will digest the sludge, thus eliminating the unpleasant odor.

It was estimated that in less than two weeks, the digestion plant will be in full operation. All of the plants are being conducted under rigid supervision and the latest scientific researches are being incorporated in the processing.

Jim Yoshihara, chief clerk for the department, explained that the 24-hour schedule is accomplished by two men working in six-hour shifts. The well organized system is prepared to function in power termination periods and in other emergencies.

Efficiency of the disposal system is being impaired greatly by nuisance elements that find their way into the drainage pipes, some of which are: pants, shirts, undies, socks, towels, mops and handkerchiefs.

Officials asked residents' cooperation for the sake of good health and sanitation of the whole community.

Starting from Monday, August 10, the social service divisions, both in the administration building and #1808, will not be open for public until 10 a.m., according to Louise Halle, supervisor.

Halle explained that the hours between 8-10 in the morning will be used to provide the staff with up-to-minute instructions for the benefit of the Colonists.

The new office hours will be 10-12 noon and 1-4 p.m.

The arrival of the Ikeda family from Sanger, California Tuesday increases the population to 15,037.

Members of the family include Isamu, Masako, Rosie K., Annebelle Y., Ernest Y. and Nancy T.

A very valuable wrist watch has been left at #2705-D.

Owner may claim it by identifying it.

The newly remodeled Recreation hall at #1808 was occupied last Friday.

The hall, which has been partitioned into four separate rooms, accommodates the wardens' office, the recreation general office, adult activities and sports offices. The fourth room is unoccupied to date.

The recreation general office, the largest room in the building, is divided into five "pigeon holes". Various departments of the recreation are systematically apportioned into these booths.

The recreation offices moved from #1908 to #1808, their original home.

Tule Lake's location in the high altitude area makes this an ideal place for kite flying among the children and even older group. Kites are made from all types of papers such as newspaper and wrapping paper.

Maneuvering the flimsy kites in the breezy upper strata, high above the barracks, calls for skillful manipulation of the guide lines, Some are seen as high as approximately 1,000 feet and others just skim precariously over the barracks.

Every day, about 20 kites of all sizes, of varied construction and design, with long tails, may be seen bobbing in the sky. Seagulls soaring majestically in the crowded sky, give vent to transgression on their private domain.

Due caution should be exercised by kit makers in construction of kites to prevent accidents. By following the established rules of kite flying, most dangers may be eliminated.

1. Do not use any copper or metal wires for guide lines.
2. Avoid using metals on any part of kite.
3. Do not fly the kites too close to electric lines.

Tacoma Crusaders and the Auburn AC started the new Tule Lake Baseball League with wins over the White River Cubs and the Tacoma Busseis respectively.

White River gave the Tacomans quite a battle before they went down, 8-7. Everett Matsui punched over the winning run in the first half of the fifth with Tahara on third. With Terashima pitching good ball, Auburn AC scored enough runs in the big third stanza to easily win over the erratic Busseis, 9-6. Tak Ikeda of the Busseis and H. Morimoto, Auburn right fielder, copped batting honors with 2 hits each.

After last weeks heart breaking loss to the Peps, the Hit and Runs lived up to their name and smothered the hitherto undefeated Sockettes, 27-1.

In the opening inning, the block 24 whirlwinds shoved across 13 runs on 6 hits to take the lead. They scored 6 in the second, 1 in the fourth and 7 in the sixth. Sockette players tallied their only marker in the fifth.
