Revelation that the community stores in Tule Lake sold ice cream, candy, soda pops, canned food, pastry, dry goods, and did repair works and tonsorial services to the tune of $74,000 (gross) in July caused repercussions of significant nature at the Community Council meeting in #1720 Tuesday night. The computation of net profits must wait until all expense accounts are brought in, it was said.

Community Enterprise management's plan to open another canteen in Block 23 hit a snag when councilmen from Ward 3 indicated the unfavorable reception to the plan by residents in this ward. The objection, however, was tabled for the time being on the thesis that the problems of the canteens are of the community-wide nature and that no one block or ward should dictate the management of the community enterprises.

The tentative plan for self-government in the Colony, giving the Council power to manage business in community stores, was held under abeyance until further discussion is held with the advisory board of the proposed consumers' cooperatives.

Clothing allowances will be discussed at a conference of regional and Washington officials to be held in San Francisco beginning Tuesday, it was announced by Director Elmer L. Shirrell.

Authorization has already been given to furnish work clothes for outdoor workers. This includes shoes which are expected to arrive soon.

Shirrell left for the conference today. He will be gone for 10 days.

To hear complaints regarding the shortage of foods in the dining hall, Project Director Elmer L. Shirrell met with Block 70 residents yesterday morning.

After listening to the complaints, the project director promised that the dining hall would receive its just share of food.

He was surprised at conditions in Block 70 dining hall, Shirrell revealed. He declared that there was plenty of food for everyone in the City and that there was no excuse for any of the residents to go hungry.

The Lost and Found department of the DISPATCH has been taken over by the Wardens at #1808. Peter M. Kristovich, assistant chief of Internal Security, requests that all lost and found items be reported there.

An appeal for cooperation and patience was issued by the Base Hospital today. Medical aid is still in the period of organization. Members of the hospital staff are being severely over-taxed, and it is hoped that the people of the community will realize the need for courtesy and a sincere cooperative spirit.

Activities of the Base Hospital are numerous with doctors and other personnel on duty 24 hours of the day regularly. A successful Caesarian operation was performed five days ago, and both the mother and child are doing well. Operations, when indicated are scheduled daily and are progressing in a satisfactory manner.

The sum of #75 has been donated by a colonist which is to be used for medical purposes. The fund is now in the hands of the chief medical officer, and any suggestions for its use will be greatly appreciated.

Mrs. Marvin Thomas, notary public, is leaving for a 10-day trip Saturday, Aug. 15.

All absentee ballots should be brought in for notarization before that time. There is no charge for this service. Rio Kayama of the Housing Department will make arrangements for Mrs. Thomas to come in any afternoon or evening.

A date late -- due to paper shortage, The DISPATCH was unable to make it a regular Wednesday edition delivery on time.

The enthusiastic turn-out for the Adult Education classes, without doubt, indicates that idealism still glows in the many undaunted hearts.

Outlook on the immediate post-war world is horribly blacked-out and consequently it seems as though there is nothing stable to cling to. As intolerance marches faster on the outside and even as our rights to citizenship in our native land is questioned, we cannot help but face the future with uncertainties clouding our minds.

These are unusual times. Sacrifices are being made by everyone, to a greater measure, in war-torn countries. From our more comfortable position, we are able to continue educational and vocational designs effectively without shells bursting over our heads.

Our rehabilitation in the post-war world cannot be wholly effected if we are inadequately prepared, especially if our attitude is that of apathy and pessimism.

It is our task that we carry out our educational program to completion and it may yet preserve us from being a lost generation. G.J.N.

We, who have been in this business of writing headlines, have often come across the difficulty of finding a short apt term to signify the Japanese-Americans as a whole.

"Nisei" (the second generation Japanese) was okay. But there are many "sansei" (the third generation Japanese) coming up clamoring for space in the headlines. There is no appropriate headline term for all those Japanese-Americans put together as a group.

Comes Jim Marshall with an article in the Aug. 15 issue of Collier on Manzanar, in which he calls them "amojas", a term he has concocted from "Americans of Japanese Ancestry." We appreciate Marshall's efforts, but the name smacks of connotation that is either intended or otherwise in the headline term, "Japs" for Japanese. The sound produced when you say "amojas" is nothing pleasant. It is feminine in the first place. And too, it somehow denotes servility, dirt, gutter.

Concocted words such as "Namco" (North American Mercantile Company) and "Nabisco" (National Biscuit Company) are pleasant.

But we refused to be labeled, "amojas." H.M.I.

THE DISPATCH was showered with high commendation from a reader in Sacramento in a letter received by a member of the Staff this week.

"The staff of THE DISPATCH," wrote Charles A. Hill, 1825 Capitol Avenue, Sacramento, "deserves much commendation for creating such an interesting and new sheet. The necessity of mimeographing cannot detract from the well-written articles, and training and talent are much in evidence. I congratulate you and your associates.

"Certainly this little paper is the most potent factor in maintaining morale at the camp and, I am very sure that all of your citizens appreciate it. We who can call some of you our friends are sincerely happy to know that under conditions that would be irksome to say the least, you are adjusting yourselves to necessity: and we are proud of you.

"The philosophical attitude toward the situation as evidenced by the papers you have sent us is indeed most commendable. We are not unmindful of the great sacrifices this emergency has necessitated of many of you. I think of the years during which your good father labored to establish the business that you were required to leave behind you; and I can understand in a small way what it must have meant to both of you and your families. However, I am a firm believer in the Law of Compensation, as I think you are, and I am sure that the fortitude and patience you have displayed will be fully rewarded."

WHAT IS CONSUMERS' COOPERATIVE?
It is a non-profit business enterprise. Its purpose is to supply consumers' need by distributing goods at "invoice cost plus expenses."

HOW IS THE BUSINESS OPERATION CONDUCTED?
This is conducted much the same as in private enterprise. Personnel, business management and other matters are left up to the business manager chosen by the board of directors, who in turn are elected by members of the organization.

THEN WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COOP AND A PRIVATE ENTERPRISE?
The ownership is different from private enterprise.

1. Cooperative practices a democratic form of ownership. Each member has an equal voice in the management of the store. In other words the people have control over the store activity. Each member has 1 vote regardless of the number of share he may own.

2. Any surplus is returned to the customer in direct proportion to his purchase and not to stockholders as in a private enterprise. A co-op looks upon profit as "an over-charge"; consequently this is returned to the patrons who purchased the goods, in the form of dividents.

All information regarding co-ops in relation to community enterprise may be obtained from the block co-op representative.

Martin P. Gunderson, principal of the elementary school, returned last Sunday from a two week's trip to the Bay Region in quest of elementary school teachers.

Despite the definite shortage of instructors for grade schools, 15 teachers have already been enlisted. Seventeen more are needed. Asked as to where he would get the 17 teachers, Principal Gunderson jokingly replied, "Pray every night and the good Lord may answer." A search will be made in Washington and Oregon to supplement the present staff, Gunderson intimated.

Teachers will report to the colony on Sept. 1 to 3 begin their special two weeks' training period.

School is expected to start on Sept. 14 instead of Sept. 15 as had been previously announced.

Winner of tonight's National League softball game between the Pee Wees and Double Shuffles will have a decided edge in catching the leading Yogores.

The two teams are tied for second and have suffered only one loss each but a defeat tonight would just about eliminate one or the other from the championship race.

Shuffles are slightly favored for the contest by their tie game against the Yogores last week.
