More Barber Shops

Plans for an additional barber and beauty shops are nearing completion to supply the demands of well-groomed residents of this City.

Tule Lake's only barber and beauty shops have long been rushed beyond their capacity and the new additions will be welcomed by the operators and customers alike.

Already the 50 gallon hot water tank in the present shops have been replaced by one handling 80 gallons.


Office of War Information Editor Here

Charles T. O'Brien, radio and news editor of the Overseas Section of Office of War Information, arrived from San Francisco Monday.

O'Brien stated that the purpose of his visit is, "to generalize our office with facilities of the project and to inform our office of project activities."

Addressing staff members of THE DISPATCH yesterday, O'Brien emphasized that, "freedom of the press is one of the things we're fighting for."

Center publications are doing commendable work in maintaining high morale, O'Brien commented.

Tule Lake is the first project visited by O'Brien. From here he will proceed to Manzanar.


2000 Attend Forum: Education Vital in Postwar Consensus

An educational program, in which vocational training is superimposed on thorough academic schooling, was revealed as the educational policy of the W.R.A. in the Community Forum held Monday night at the outdoor stage in which Mrs. Lucy Adams, director of educational and recreational activities of the W.R.A., spoke as a guest speaker. She was introduced by Superintendent of Schools Harkness.

The Rev. Daisuke Kitagawa, an Episcopalian minister from the Northwest, on the other hand, emphasized the necessity of training the young Japanese-Americans in liberal arts so that they may be able to have a better perspective of themselves in the post-war period.

"Because of the post-war era will have lost its social and economic stability," the Rev. Mr. Kitagawa said, "the young Japanese must learn to recreate social orders out of the chaos that we must face after the war."

Miss Mary Bonnack, the United States Employment Service from San Francisco, and Mrs. Lucy Adams declared the educational facilities offered in the Colony are aimed to find an opportunity for residents to improve on their past training, experiences and capabilities.

Water Analyzed

Widely used but so little known of is the water we drink and bathe in. A sanitary analysis of the water at Tule Lake made by Smith, Emery, and Company and obtained from P.J. Coffey, assistant engineer, U.S. Public Health Service, reveals the following information:

The taste is good; odor, none; color, none; sediment quickly falling, none; turbidity, none; total solids, 874; parts per million; chlorine, 14. parts per million; free amonia, .28 parts per million; nitrogen in nitrites, none; oxygen required to oxidized; organic matter at 212*F. 2.64 parts per million.

This water is very hard -- mostly temporary and shows evidence of considerable organic contamination. This is indicated by high amonia and oxygen consumed. But chlorine is not excessive as would be the case if contamination were from sewage.


YBA Accepts Ten New Directors


The Roving Scribe: Tonsorial Questionnaire

This roving scribe wandered to the center barber shop and started a question and answer affair with Maxine Higashi, amiable shop cashier. Naturally, we fired the questions and Miss Higashi, with the help of a few assorted hair artists, did the answering.

Question no. 1. Where are most of your barbers from? The proud answer, SACRAMENTO.

Question no. 2. How do they like their work here? Answer. Fair, but it's harder than back home due to the limited equipment.

Question no. 3. Who asks for the "Special Style" and why? (Note... S.S. are for the lads who let their sleek, smooth appearance.) Answer -- (and we were disappointed here.) The young men and they do it for looks so that they can catch the girls' eyes.

We thought the answer would be something like this: the "fast" boys, because it gives them that "matinee idol" appearance.

Question no. 4. How often should one get a haircut? Answer. Ten days to two weeks. Now come, come, girls. (A woman barber answered this one.) You are not running a business at home. We are a once-a-month customer although our dog collar is getting slightly the worse for wear and our license has expired.

Question no. 5. What per cent of the boys with wavy hair have naturally wavy hair? Answer. 98 percent. Now you boys with the put up hair jobs gonna stand for that? On second thought if you have been able to fool the "pros" maybe it would be best to skip the matter -- after all, hours were spent. K.H.

Tulean 'Intermezzo'

by Ken Hayashi

LISTEN
...to the jive coming out of any of the rec. halls far into the night. Spirited youngsters and others dissipating their energy for that great old demander - RYTHM... Look at that weather and work beaten old couple punctually trudging to their mess hall with their eating utensils in hand... Young boys earnestly flying their kites oblivious of dangers created by the rumbling trucks and scurrying cars... Sleek haired flashily dressed youths with vampish nisei "oomph" girls that blossom out of the nite come Saturday's dances...

NOTICE
...the nisei that ignore the "Japanesey" type of entertainment at some of our talent shows... The look of ecstasy on the girl attending the classical music hour... heaven on earth... See the lack of feminine influence in any bachelor's quarters -- making one wonder about the utility of girls... after all... The medicinal odor as you approach the hospital... reminding you of the time you had your tonsils extricated... It's mess time and here comes that family who grumble about the food but who do such a classic job of cleaning the table you not only starve but wonder that the dishes escape their digestive... wrath.

NOISE
...usually detracts ones attention but that theory does not necessarily apply in a news office... The clatter of typewriters and mimeograph and the hum of clashing voices many times have spurred us on to greater activity. As such the material for this column was born. Now, kind readers you may demand that quiet reign in the news office hereafter.
