Excitement of the residents living in the neighborhood of Canteen #3 was short-lived. The residents feeling the danger first removed their furniture outside in expectation of evacuation from their apartments. They were returned quickly when they noted that the firemen had the situation under control soon after the discovery of the fire. There was no panic or looting reported during the disturbance.

Mrs. Marvin Thomas, notary public, will be at the administration building tonight from 6:30 to notarize absentee ballots and to transact other business.

Mrs. Thomas will also conduct business Friday night at 7:30 p.m.

In the second big fire, besides mess halls, to occur in Tule Lake, an estimated damage of $4000 was suffered by the blaze in Canteen #3 in Block 41 about 4:45 o'clock this morning. The leakage of electricity from a shorted wire in an ice-cream cooler was believed to have been the origin of the fire. The first fire was on May 28 when some of the personnel apartments in the administration area were destroyed.

By quick action of the local Fire department, the canteen fire was put under control in about 15 minutes after the first alarm was put through. The building adjoining the canteen received no damages.

The damages were fully covered by fire insurance, according to Kendall Smith, supervisor of community enterprises.

All of the merchandise in the front half part of the canteen were either burned completely or smoke-damaged, but they will be cleaned and polished and returned to the patrons, to the management said.

About 40 per cent of the building left intact comprised the shoe-repair department and the supply room.

"The repairing equipment, which are difficult to obtain at present, were fortunately saved from the fire," Sumio Miyamoto, business manager, said.

Five radios, on display to be sold, were burned beyond repair.

The fire was brought under control at 5 a.m.

Credit was given firemen on the job by the management when it was discovered that there was little loss due to water used in putting out the fire.

Quick investigation found the south end of the store gutted in heavy smoke and shooting sparks. An immediate contact with the City Fire department resulted in the rallying of companys from Stations #1, #2 and #3.

Almost in coordination with the central siren alarm, Company A of Station #1 arrived on the scene, and under Assistant Chief Yasuo Yoshino and Captain Art Kozono swung into action with the first stream of water. Swift, calculated drill tactics clicked off brilliantly as the firemen battled the flames.

Volunteer firemen of the near blocks came in and pitched in with their buckets and axes in full play. Chief Rhoads himself, bareheaded and dripping wet, was seen rushing into the building with a writhing hose under his arms. Soon, off-duty firemen were on the spot, helping to coordinate efforts in the task of extinguishing the flames.

Wardens were reported to have done commendable work in controlling the crowds.

Eight nursery schools are now in operation, it was announced by Marianne G. Robinson, nursery superintendent. Schools keep hours from 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. and located at #1117, #1417, #2917, #3217, #4417, #4915, and #7104.

The 601 children enrolled are supervised by 60 teachers. Among the many activities that have been started are painting with brushes, finger painting, clay modeling, nature study -- collecting bugs, grasshoppers, plants.

Mr. Abe, block #12 is assisting members of Nursery #1117 in building a rock garden with little pools for sailing boats.

Miss Robinson states that all mothers are welcomed to take their children to the nearest school.

A meeting was held Sunday to organize a dramatics club for all persons interested in acting, directing, voice and diction, costume designing, stage setting, make-up, lighting or other fields of the drama.

The 40 members present decided upon a little theatre type of organization. The four-fold purposes being: 1. To acquire cultural refinery through appreciation and participation of dramas; 2. To give entertainment through our efforts; 3. To develop talent in various phases of dramatics; and 4. To serve as an escape from reality.

The club will hold its next meeting tonight instead of Thursday as previously announced.

Ninth place Salem Jrs. sprung an upset last week when they nosed out the mighty termites, 15-4. Although the classy Termites out hit the Jrs. 11 bingles to 5, costly errors on the part of the fielders cost the game. In producing their first win of the league play the Oregon boys rallied for 4 runs in the last half of the seventh on two walks, an error and two hits.

High riding Salem Senators and the powerful Royal Flushes will clash tonight in mortal combat to decide the championship of the American Softball League. Both are fast and hustling teams. Both have hitting power but the pitching must necessarily go to steady and dependable Beans Yamamoto of the Loomis Flushers. Salem and the Royal Flushes both have had narrow misses at the hands of lesser teams, but last week's 37-10 shellacking handed to the strong Isleton Cowboys by the Salem lads makes them a slight favorite to come out on top in the American loop gigantia. Scene of the titanic struggle will be Field 3, Salem bailiwick. The time is 7:00 p.m.
