Cost of feeding the colonist in Tule Lake was 40 cents per person daily for the month of June, according to a report from the Army quartermaster received by the administration. This was estimated on the supply furnished to 11,000 persons. Scarcity of food in July was explained partly when it was disclosed that in the latter part of last month almost 15,000 colonists divided the supply intended for 11,000 persons.

The community welfare division is working out plans to guarantee clothing and other essentials to families who are in need of them and unable to provide for themselves.

Louise Halle, social welfare supervisor, states that Project Director Elmer L. Shirrell, Senior Administrative Officer Fred Conner, Shief, Interned Security Harold S. Jacoby, Chief of Community Services, Paul Fleming have held conferences to iron out details and further information regarding clothing, will be given later. Distribution of essentials will be based on the persons need for them.

Plans to initiate a form of self-government placing the Community Council on a permanent basis, now that all of the wards in the City are filled, were discussed at the Council meeting Wednesday night.

Members on the temporary judicial committee and a community-wide survey committee, headed by Tom Yeggo, were asked to form a body to draft provisions for self-government in Tule Lake. These provisions will be offered for consideration at the conference of project directors and W.R.A. officials when Director Shirrell attends the meeting in San Francisco shortly.

Entertainment for issei will be featured Saturday night at the outdoor stage from 7 p.m.

Program will consist of one two-act comedy, one three-act melodrama, odoris and vocal solos.

Assurance that there will be plenty of coal for heating purpose in the winter was made by Mortimer Cooke, chief of transportation and supply, when he told the Community Council that a contract for delivery of 57,600 tons of coal has been signed. Ten carloads of coal will arrive in Tule Lake daily before the cold weather sets in.

Six thousand iron stoves for burning coal in apartments and various buildings in the Colony have already been received here.

That the residents must be prepared for an early winter was evident if the data received by the Agricultural department from Tulelake are to be taken as a norm. The town of Tulelake is six miles from the Colony.

According to the statistics of the past 10 years, Jack Frost makes his debut normally around August 25, and the cold spell continues until around the first week of June. Snow can be expected anytime between November and April.

Highest recorded temperature in Tulelake during the last decade is 99 degrees of 1938, while the lowest on record is 27 degrees below, set in 1932. With the exception of 1936 and 1940, the thermometer has dropped below the zero mark annually.

A high of 14.42 inches was recorded last year on the rain-gauge, with the average rainfall of the past 10 years standing around 10 inches. The gauge shows that the 10.1 inches mark is reached so far this year.

The wind is generally from the northwest, and occasionally shifts to the southwest. Although much depends on the kind of crop and the planting time, the average growing season is roughly 60 days.

Four hundred and fifty bottles of formula are prepared daily in the Formula Kitchen, #720, it was learned today by the DISPATCH.

Operated exclusively for the benefit of babies under the age of 10 months, strict rules are in existence. One must wipe his feet before entering and the floor is so clean that one could actually eat off of it.

A staff of one registered nurse and eleven formula aids prepare and bottle the formula and then deliver to the mess halls where they are distributed.

Thirteen gallons of formula solution, 90 cans of condensed milk and 10 1/2 cans of syrup are used daily to make the formula which sustain about 92 babies of the city.

Besides handling formulas, this kitchen also provides fresh milk to the seven nurseries of the city. Twenty gallons of milk are supplied daily.

More than one-third of the Tulean population required medical attention during the month of July, the clinic report released by the Base hospital revealed today.

Last month 5842 patients received attention at the Base hospital. Surgical cases numbered 1060; pediatrics 546; obstetrics, 182; eye, nose and throat, 569; eye cases, 177; x-ray, 442 and dental, 1029.

Grace E. Wills, noted writer, arrived here Wednesday to collect material for her forthcoming article for the Asia magazine.

The health service of the Tulean project is still in stages of development. However, there are already offered to the community many services which are not understood or are incompletely understood by many of the citizens. Primarily, there is the hospital, offering through its staff of 13 physicians and surgeons and 2 internees, complete medical and surgical care. Assisting this staff are 9 registered nurses, 12 student nurses, 17 orderlies and 58 nurses' aides.

Included in other divisions of the hospital are 13 registered pharmacists, eight lab. technicians, 12 dentists, two x-ray techs and two dental techs.

Although orderlies and nurses' aides, in some cases, have had some preliminary training in reception centers, that training is being augmented and intensified in regular classes held under the supervision of the nursing staff at the hospital. The medical staff and the pharmaceutical staff also contribute courses to those two groups.

There are doctors, nurses and orderlies, as well as pharmacists, laboratory technicians, hospital drivers, boilermen and all others serving the functions of the hospital on duty 24 hours of the day.

The hospital itself is designed for 225 beds. A small psychopathic ward is now under construction. Also proposed is a now outpatient department. The present outpatient department is making use of facilities ordinarily designed for doctors' quarters. Although the arrangement is temporary and awkward, between 300 and 400 patients daily are being given service in the combined clinics. The eight wards include: Tuberculosis, obstetrics, Pediatrics, men's surgical, women's medical, and isolation.

Sub-divisions of the various clinics offered are outlined in each block manager's office together with schedules of the times specific clinics are held.

A recent innovation is the addition of taxi service through hospital cars and ambulances, designed to bring those patients unable to walk, or for mothers with infants to the clinics. Passes for this service may be obtained from your block managers.

In a later article the functions of the various clinics will be discussed.

There is a well-organized pharmacy department where prescriptions for all standard drugs can be prepared. Special drugs are obtained only under very restrictive conditions. Representative members of the pharmacists are on duty 24 hours a day. The laboratory is also open 24 hours a day.

The number of prescriptions have increased from three or four a day when the project was first opened to the present number of about 150. Besides this volume of work, all the hospital wards have their pharmaceuticals supplied from the pharmacy.

Considerable anxiety has been caused by the delay in the distribution of cash advances.

Timekeepers have been kept busy checking the time of every enlistee in order that any person entitled to pay will not be overlooked.

Payment has been delayed owing to the transfer of Gilbert L. Niesse who was agent cashier.

"Herbert T. Wieler, head auditing unit, and Richard Tracy, head fiscal accounting unit, have been recommended to the Washington office as agent cashiers," Fred Conner, chief administrative division, states, "and as soon as their appointments are received we will start disbursement of the June payroll which we hope will be the latter part of next week."

Twenty-eight impoverished weavers in Rochdale, England, in 1844 formed principles of cooperatives now known as the Rochdale system. Tule Lake colonists, who are about to organize cooperatives here, are well to acquaint themselves with the Rochdale principles.

Q. What are the Rochdale principles?

A. 1. Membership is open to all who wish to join in good faith.

2. A democratic procedure of 1 vote to each member regardless of the number of shares he may own. No proxy voting.

3. Interest is paid on capital, but it may not be greater than the legal or current rates.

4. Savings are refunded to the members in proportion to their purchases, or may be used collectively for the common interest of the group.

5. Sales for cash at market price.

6. A part of their earnings set aside for educational activities and expansion.

7. Complete neutrality on political, religious, and racial questions.

Q. Have the principles been rigidly followed by all cooperative enterprises?

A. No, but experience seems to show the wisdom of the Rochdale pioneers, since most of the organizations which have departed from these principles have failed.

It will be a crucial do-or-die battle Saturday night when the undefeated Yogores face the once-beat-on Double Shuffles as the National Leauge race grows tighter.

The Shuffles must win to stay within striking distance of the pennant, and the Yogos need the victory to maintain their leadership and to keep from slipping into a tie for first place.

Season records favor the Yogores in that they defeated the Zoots who are responsible for the one loss that the Shuffles have suffered.

But one factor which may play a big part in the outcome is that the league leaders have not played a game in the last three rounds. They have had one bye and two forfeits.

In Thursdays games the Double Shuffles easily defeated the Wolves 16 to 2, and the California All Stars forfeited to the Yogores.

Baring [Barring] an upset the Small Fryes seem destined to become the undefeated champions of the Tri-State League, as they won their sixth straight game at the expense of the Jinx 18 to 8.

First two innings appeared to be a walk away for the Frys as they tallied eight runs and hold the Jinx scoreless, but the losers came back in the third and fourth cantos to score eight times while limiting the opponents to one and it looked as if a battle was on.

However the Small Frys were not to be denied and they rallied by pushing across nine runs in the final innings.

Oregonians left the California All-Stars sitting alone in the National League cellar as they rallied their way to an 11 to 4 victory in a hardball game Wednesday.

The Stars rushed one run across in the first and two in the second to hold a 3 to 0 edge, but a nine run outburst by the Oregonians in the third stanza cinched the game.

Sat. August 8
Doub. Sh. vs. Yogores 7
Ca. vs. Pee Wees 13
Zoots vs. Ubangis 11
Oregon vs. Trojans 3
Bach. vs. Wolves 1
Hospital bye
