A year ago today, somewhere on the high seas of the North Atlantic, two great men met to map the destinies of the United Nations toward an all-out effort to win the war and the peace to follow.

The President of the United States and the Prime Minister representing His Majesty's government in the United Kingdom deemed it right to make known certain principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world. And out of that meeting the Atlantic Charter emerged containing eight points which, in substance, set forth these four basic objectives:

1. Abandonment of force, aggression, and territorial aggrandizement by all nations.

2. Self determination of peoples regarding their own form of government.

3. Equal access for all peoples to raw materials; full economic collaboration, and freedom of the seas.

4. The guaranteeing to every human being of freedom from want and freedom from fear.

Be that as it may, the significance of the Atlantic Charter to us in Relocation or Assembly Centers lies in its concern for a just, charitable, and an enduring peace -- in its fight for the four freedoms.

In a measure, it is a precedent to our future fight. It rings of liberty from the bondages of racial and religious oppressions. It tolls of battles fought for civil liberties -- attainment of the simple truth that all men are good and equal. In it are the essence of death to wants and fears. In it, too, are life's trivialities: assurance of football games, a hamburger sandwich, an ice cream soda, and swing with a mixture of sublimity in the inalienable rights of men to master their own destinies.

Today, with a solid front of United Nations formally adopting the Atlantic as well as the war, it changes the bitterness felt in Relocation centers which has been engendered by less idealistic forms of government and promises a post-war world based on humanitarian ideals.

For peoples to fight to death tyranny and oppressions for principles of democracy based on the freedoms of expressions for all mankind, of religion everywhere in the world; freedoms from economic want, and from fear of future disruption without malice but with charity and good-will -- it lifts humanity, it lifts democracy to something worth fighting for. F.S.T.

Nostalgia

DO YOU REMEMBER?
...the 9 o'clock train that rumbled down M street shaking the sidewalks and the giggling pink-cheeked girls waiting at the corner for the street cars?

Do you recall the gay laughters of young tots dribbling up to school with bulky bags of lunch twacking their knees?

Do you remember the jetting beams of sunshine beating on the shop windows and the frothy ice cream soda foaming on the glass rim... "banana special" smothered with rich whip cream and a luscious red cherry perched on the mound?

When dark shadow fell on the street, red and yellow and green flickered on the many neon lights of the Nihonjin town and the melancholy notes of "Shina-no-yoru" wailed from a sukiyaki shop?

DO YOU REMEMBER
...the midnight oil we burned in lengthy bull sessions with our text books open... the green phosphorescent moon peeping through the weeping willows at Southside park... the soft curling waves lapping on the shore... the succulent, onionized hamburger and coke at Stan's?

...the smell of fresh vegetable on Saturday morning and silk-drenched shoppers swishing through Kay street... the adventurous, the romantic display in front of movie houses... and all our Caucasian friends who have been so tolerant and understanding during those trying times...

Do You Remember?

There are 1392 buildings in Newell covering approximately 1400 acres of ground. This colony is situated on an irregular tract on and one half miles square.

Construction of these buildings which began in May was completed within two months.

The administration and hospital take up 32 buildings.

Stalwart young men wearing green armbands with gray crosses can be identified as members of the sanitation corps.

Operating from the solarium of the Base hospital, 30 sanitary inspectors daily make their routine round -- testing food, checking sanitation in shower rooms, laundries and the grounds. The present research program includes delving into the souring of milk and the control of insects.

Children are cautioned by the Corps not to play bare-footed outdoors because of dangerous organic matters in the soil. Persistent foot ailments will take its tool if "geta" are not worn in shower rooms.

Residents are admonished not to wash buckets and similar vessels in the troughs as they are strictly for washing hands and faces.

Any unusual insect causing undue irritations are asked to be reported immediately to the block managers or directly to the Corps office.

Sumio Miyamoto, business manager of the community enterprises, was notified of the fire in Canteen #3 Thursday morning when he was washing his face in Block 32.

"Hey, your store's burned down!"

Puzzled, Miyamoto replied that he owns no store anywhere and that he was working for the state of California before evacuation.

"The store! the canteen #3, you lug!" the reporter informed him.

Significance of the situation dawned on him finally.

"Not my store; our store, you mean!" Miyamoto shot back.

"It is very fortunate that all of our community enterprises are being covered by insurance," Miyamoto later explained. "Japanese colonists in Tule Lake, who, in the last analysis own these enterprises, suffered no monetary loss from the fire yesterday morning. The W.R.A., however, suffers the loss of the building."

Probability that the damaged goods in Canteen #3 may be sold in a fire sale shortly was affirmed today by Kendall Smith, Supervisor of Community enterprises.

Insurance agents arrived here Thursday afternoon from Klamath Falls to ascertain the damages and make proper adjustments.

Hiroshi Kamiya of #4216-BC was the first to discover the fire. He reported the fire to Block Manager Harry Fukushima, #4207, who put in the first alarm at 4:40 a.m., it was learned.

Open fires will be discontinued hereafter in the Colony, according to word received by Chief Fireman Ernest Rhoads from regional offices. This move was necessitated because of the extreme low humidity and the high altitude of the Colony area, conditions which are susceptible to fire outbreaks. "The possible solution to the weiner roast problem might be formulated through the construction of stone pits," Chief Rhoads stated.

To replace the damaged canteen, opening of another one in the adjoining barrack, now empty, is being considered by the management.

Lack of convenience and loss of service, being suffered by residents of Ward 5 due to the destruction of Canteen #3 early Thursday morning were indicated in the marked rise of business in other community stores, according to Johnny Ito, Harry Masaki and Ted Nakao, managers of Canteens #1 and #2 and #4, respectively.

Typhoid and small pox inoculations will be held for the last time at #4708 Friday for all persons who have not as yet received them. Inoculations will take place from 7 to 9 p.m.

Repatriation forms are still available to all Japanese aliens or dual citizens wishing to return to Japan either singly or with their family, it was announced by Harold S. Jacoby, chief of Internal Security.

Applications may be filed with the Social Welfare department, #1808.

Request for repatriation will be accepted from any person 18 years or older, who was born in Japan or in the United States and has a dual citizenship. Dual citizens must understand that by so applying they indicate their willingness to forfeit such citizenship.

The acceptance of a formal request by the WRA does not bind the government of the United States to grant repatriation nor does it bind the individual concerned to accept repatriation at a later date if changed circumstances make it inadvisable.

All wardens are now handing in daily records of the day's work. This record includes the name of the warden, the time he worked and the section he covered.

In addition to this information the wardens relate any unusual or extraordinary cases, naming participants, when and where the case took place and the circumstances surrounding it. This information in turn is handed into the head office and if anyone has a logical reason for complaint the case will be investigated and the necessary steps taken.

HELP WANTED AT ONCE
Six concrete finishers and more shoe repairmen are needed at once, it was announced by the Placement Bureau today.

Salem Senators side-tracked the Royal Flushes last night 4 to 2 in a battle for the American League lead and made their chances for winning the title more than a strong possibility.

Scoring started in the first half of the first inning with the Senators pushing across three runs but the Flushmen came back to score two in their turn at bat after three successive walks and a ground ball.

The count remained 3-2 until the fifth when Glen Morioka, Salem short stop, hit a triple and came in on a fly to the out field.

Beans Yamamoto pitched fine ball for the Flushes and struck out a lot of men but couldn't get the support that pitcher Mick Tamiyasu of the Senators received.

Violets staged the seasons best hardball upset to date when they dumped the highly touted Riverside nine by a 11-7 score in a National League game Wednesday.

Kashiwada started on the mound for the Riversiders but was relieved by Ishida in the third after giving up five hits and seven runs.

But Ishida, who had not fully recovered from an infected hand, could not stop the sluggers as he was touched for a four run splurge in the third despite striking out three men.

Nakatami of the Violets held the losers in check all the way except for the fourth when the losers crossed the plate for four tallys.
