Lumber and partitioning material will be furnished to colonists for building partitions, it was announced by Project Director, Elmer L. Shirrell.

An order for $15,000 worth of wall board and lumber was placed four weeks ago and is expected to arrive any day.

This material will be issued very carefully to those having no partitions or scrap lumber.

Leaving Friday evening for Cody, Wyoming were Dr. A.B. Carson, Dr. George S. Iki, Gertrude Wetzel, head nurse; and Sumi Shinozaki, secretary, who will aid in setting up a Base hospital on the Hart Mountain WRA Project. They will be gone approximately two weeks.

During Dr. Carson's absence, Dr. M.A. Harada will assume duties as chief medical officer here.

Owing to the scarcity of automobile and truck tires, we reluctantly have to announce that all picnics by truck or passenger car must be discontinued. We will be unable to honor any requests for transportation facilities for these excursions.

We trust that the Colonists will appreciate the difficulties surrounding the present emergency and understand that it is with genuine reluctance that we are unable to permit these excursions that have brought so much pleasure to those who have enjoyed them in the past. MORTIMER C. COOKE, acting chief, Transportation and Supply.

Mortimer C. Cooke, acting chief, Transportation and Supply, announces the formation of a new travel bureau under the Transportation and Supply Division. Henry Yamada is to head this new bureau.

Necessity for such a department comes with the increase in number of people leaving the City for other vocations and the large number of incoming personnel for the teaching staff of Tule Lake.

Yamada will be assisted by Akira Hayashi and Sumi Matsushima.

Harry E. Allenbaugh, chief of the City's water supply and sewage disposal, indicated today that plumbers have been instructed to regulate the valves in shower rooms, washrooms and other water utilizing places, in order that the present high wastage of water be cut down.

"Unless water is conserved, additional limitations will be imposed. Conservation of water is the direct responsibility of every resident, and personal diligence must be carried out," said Allenbaugh. At the present rate of water-usage, the pumping plants are overloaded in operation and overtaxed in its limited pumping capacities.

1,200,000 gallons, or 80 gallons per capita, is the actual daily amount being pumped out. Two electric pumps in operation are designed to handle only 700,000 gallons per day. The pumps are in full operation 24 hours a day and one gasoline pump is held in readiness in case of power cut-offs. Another auxiliary pump will be installed in a few days to handle the overload.

To draw up preliminary plans for co-op educational program, all members of the advisory council met for the first time last night at #1715-D.

At group discussion meetings which will be next week, the history and theory of co-op organization will be stressed.

By this means a solid groundwork for the future setup of co-op organization will be laid.

Co-op meetings will be announced through block managers.

A council meeting with Kendall Smith, community enterprise supervisor, and a meeting with the block representatives in their respective wards are scheduled for next week.

No identification tags will be issued to enlistees until August 14, 1942 at which time another tag issuance will be held at #717 beginning at 7 p.m., according to Hirum L. Clark, head of personnel records section.

This issuance will be only for those persons whose work assignments were made prior to July 31, 1942. Enlistees will be handled at a later date.

An estimated one-half of the total number of families in this Colony, now enjoy the benefits of "sheet-rock" insulation in their respective apartments.

Lined rooms present a neat-appearance, are degrees cooler, and are an important factor in the boost in morale of residents.

The huge project was sent "over the top" through the coordinated efforts of the Construction Department and illustration of the task can be partly shown in figures released by Howard Kobayashi Construction Department Coordinator. To line ceilings and walls of each average apartment, it requires 33 insulating boards, each weighing between 80-110 lbs. Two and one-half million square feet of the "sheet-rock" boars is the supply apportioned to this Colony. Divided into the 66 blocks, the allotted amount for each block is 1765 sheets -- which is just enough material to line the average 60 apartments in each block.

"It is the sole responsibility of residents in each block to assume control of the limited supply of sheets in order that every apartment will have adequate material for insulation. The practice of hoarding more boards than is actually required is both an unfair and a selfish gesture and warrants immediate action," department officials stated.

The insulation process will continue until every apartment in the Colony is adequately lined.

Network of roads in the City now totals 20 running miles.

Eleven miles of the roads are paved and oiled and the remaining nine miles of the roads are lined with crushed native lava-rock.

"Extensive road continued throughout the winter months and new operations will also be launched then", disclosed Fremont Slattory, Chief Engineer.

Sidewalks are not included in the plans.

Tule Lake's library boasts a circulation of 350 to 500 books daily. Supplied with 4252 books plus thousands of magazines, the library doors see little tykes happily skipping out with juvenile fairy books as well as scholarly bespectacled adults shuffling out with tomes of documentary texts.

Though most of the books are the efforts of scraping through old stacks, there are new additions of "best sellers" at the desk. Such books as "That Day Alone" (Van Passen), "My Name is Aran" (Saroyan), "Keys to The Kingdom" (A.J. Cronin), "One Foot in Heaven" (Hartsell Spence) and "Giant Joshua" (Whipple) are available. Also the two latest issues of Fortune magazine are available at the desk. Contributions to the list are always welcomed. Magazines, however, should be up-to-date issues, Librarian Sue Hayashi said.

A HUGE STACK
...of new fire buckets was found in the north-end of the truck runway in Fire Station #1. Pensively painting numerals on the buckets was a middle-aged man. His deft strokes were clean-out and showed remarkable accuracy.

FASCINATED
...at this artist at work, I joined the handful of curious onlookers. Complimentary comments drew a rise of a friendly conversation from the man at work.

RECORDED
...on the news-pad were these:

THE MAN
...is a member of the City Fire Prevention group. His name: John Tanikawa. Birthplace: Hawaii. Landed in Seattle in 1906 and went through the grade schools, and graduated from Broadway High School of that city.

UPON GRADUATION
...John went to New York; living there until his enlistment into the United States Army on Nov. 3. 24 days later, his outfit: Company D, 8th Machine Gun Battalion, 3rd Division, A.E.F. embarked from N.Y. Harbor for France. Serving as a corporal in a machine gun squad, he related memorable months in which he participated in six campaigns: the Aisne offensive, the Champagne Marne defensive, the Aisne Marne defensive, the Saint Mihiel offensive in the fall of 1918, and the final battle of the Meuse Argonne where he was gassed.

IN THE BATTLE
...of Chateau Thierry, he was shot in the left leg. A "stray" machine-gun bullet -- he mused, as he pulled up his trouser cuffs... baring the scar, the size of a half-dollar piece.

HE LANDED
...in New York on Sept. 4, 1919 and was honorably discharged. BY BRYAN MAYEDA

Sunday evening's American league will see the league leading Salem Senators meet one of their toughest obstacles in the Isleton Cowboys. Cowboys, who have been going like a house on fire after being defeated once ... will have a good chance to grip the undefeated Oregon lads. Hustling Senators will face one of the fastest balls in the loop in J. Fujikawa's offerings.

Co-leaders Royal Flushes take on a breather in Club 1400, a second division ball club. The Flushes will meet Salem next week in the season's top contest.

Bellevue, who had such a soft time with the Imais, lost a close one to the Vancouver horsehiders 9-8. Although the Bellevue team scored in every inning but the last the winners scored all of their 8 digits in the big 3rd inning on five hits.

K. Uyeno and Y. Akiyama with 2 for 3 hit hard for Vancouver. Landing sticker for the Bellevues was T. Kiyokawa who had three safeties in four tries.

Batteries:
Okada, Kiyokawa and K. Yada
Matsushita, Yamaguchi and Serakubo

Spark Plugs held firmly on to third place in the American League with a 9 to 5 victory over Commerce Thursday.

Except for a bad 4th inning when the losers slapped out four hits for five runs pitcher Shimada kept the situation well in hand.

Plugs scored eight runs in the first three innings to hold a comfortable lead throughout the contest.

Batteries:
Yoshimi & Motoyama
Shimada & Okano

Isleton vs. Salem Fld 3
49ers vs. Scrubs Fld 1
R. Fl. vs. 1400 Fld 5
S.P. vs. Violets Fld 13
M.C. vs. Pension Fld 11

Royal Flushes continued to make good their monicker as they disposed of the fighting Pensioneers 7-2. The undefeated co-leaders of the American loop jumped into the lead by scoring 4 runs in the first inning on four hits. They scored two more in the second.

Pensioneers were held scoreless until the last two innings when they scored one run in each.

Several children in the colony have received slight burns from coming in contact with hot ashes and cinders that were taken from heaters and placed in the open. Let us not have any more of this. It might prove more serious. The wind might blow these hot ashes about and set the buildings on fire. Pour water on these ashes and cinders. Make sure all of the fire has been extinguished.

Open fires are not safe and therefore are not allowed in the colony. Either burn your papers and rubbish in your stove or place them in a pile where the rubbish collector can pick them up and haul them away.

Do not fill your stove too full of paper before lighting. A stove that is crammed full of paper is and then lighted is very likely to set the furniture or building on fire by becoming overheated. Remember, you do not have a damper in your stove pipe which makes the fire hard to control.

Is there any dry grass along the walls of the barracks in which you live? If so, clean it away. Dry grass makes it very easy for a fire to spread underneath your house or set fire to the paper outside. Better still, get a shovel and bank the earth up along the foundation of the house. This will make your house warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Your fireman will be coming to your block to ask each of you to assist us in making our community as safe from fire as possible. He will instruct you what to do in case of fire, where the extinguishers, buckets, shovels and other fire-fighting equipment are kept in your block. Pay attention to what he has to say. He has come to help you.

He is also organizing a volunteer fire company in your block. He needs your assistance. If you can find time, help him. Winter is coming soon. We can't afford to let your homes burn and face the prospect of the suffering cold weather may bring.

ERNEST RHODES
Chief of Fire Prevention & Safety.

Fire prevention in a community the size of Tule Lake, requires greater preparedness than that practiced elsewhere. Thus far, the 640 volunteer firemen. 10-15 in each block, plus the 27 fire inspectors, have been organized to intensify the vigilance necessary to give all possible protection and safety. Inadequacy of the fire-fighting facilities must be counter-balanced by the alertness and willingness of each person to contribute to the safety of the city.

Damages to property by fires to date have been confined only to messhalls and shower rooms. Carelessness has been the cause of most fires. By realizing the extent of damage possible to personal property and loss of life if any barrack should catch fire, precautionary measures taken daily during the use of inflammables will minimize the risk of conflagration.

Dangers is the use of benzine and other inflammable cleaning solvents are emphasized by the Fire department. Therefore the safety valve for danger is prevention exercised by every individual.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." S.S.

"As the mornings grow cooler, there will be more fires built making clean chimneys highly important. Chimney sweeps are now operating in the City. Let us make certain that no fires are started through sooty chimneys," said Fire Chief Rhodes.

"Clean chimneys, too, make less smoke, making it easier to keep washings clean while drying. The women-folk will appreciate it. Let us do our part to make this a safer and cleaner Colony."
