Community enterprises will definitely be on a cooperative basis separated from any phase of the Community Council.

This was decided at the Council meeting Tuesday night in #1720 when it passed a motion by Councilman Walter Tsukamoto declaring that "the Council divorce itself from plans of tentative ownership to operate community enterprises." The Council, however, expressed its desire to retain legislative power to deal with my problem affecting the morals and health of the entire Colony arising from the operation of those enterprises.

A telegram to that effect was sent Director Elmer L. Shirrell in San Francisco where he is having a regional conference with other project directors on the institution of self-government in relocation centers.

The Council felt that the issei residents, many of whom have had wide business experiences and are interested in management of co-operatives, will thus have a definite voice in the operation of the Colony.

Aug. 18 brought 11 new arrivals from Santa Anita assembly center to the City. They include: Joe Yamakito, 3104-A; Rocky Ryoko Nakama, 3104-A; Masami Koga, 3104-A; Katsutoshi Uehara, 2402-B; Masato Takashige, 2402-B; Frank Hideaki Ujiiyo, 1015-B; Mark Yasuhiko Kiguchi, 1015-B; Saburo Nagata, 1116-B; Tsutomu Nakasone, 1115-B; Akaru Robert Masuda, 1115-B; and James Uechi, 7106-E.

Food problems we are facing today are not as serious as they will be in the future," Acting Director Joe Hayes told the Council Tuesday night.

"You who read the newspapers carefully know that they are already talking about rationing meat," Hayes continued. "Even today, there are lots of things we can't buy with good U.S. money, because we just can't find them."

However, residents in Tule Lake, Hayes believes will have no occasion to get hungry when they are able to raise so much food stuff here.

In an impassioned appeal to the councilman, Hayes reiterated time and again the necessity of the Japanese people realizing the fact that Tule Lake is their Colony and that they must pull together to get the most out of their temporary residence here. He stressed the sagacity of showing patience on the part of residents to get what they want.

Quarantine restrictions for those under 16 years of age has been lifted from Blocks 67, 73, and 74, it was revealed by Tom Tamiyasu, chief warden. Those in Block 68, 69, and 70 will still be under the confinement ruling. Those over 16 years old are not effected by the regulation, however.

Visitors under age will be banned from the restricted area, as several new chickenpox cases have been reported.

Plans were being made this week by the Recreation department to round out the Labor Day with a full-day program.

With Kumeo Yoshinari and Ray Yasui as co-chairmen, the highlights of the holiday program will include a parade in the morning, athletic events and open house in the afternoon, a talent show and a dance to climax the evening.

A parade which will include departmental floats and marching units is in the hands of Jack Yokoto and Bill Doi, parade officials.

Entries for the float competition must be in the hands of the officials by Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Another feature of the coming holiday event on Monday, September 7, will be a baby contest in charge of Iku Nishikawa.

Judge Mosebar will notarize absentee ballots tonight from 7 p.m. at the Ad. Bldg.

Sometimes we are at loss to find reasonable justification for a brand of criticism that is heaped on the WRA and relocation centers as a whole by some of the non-thinking citizens living outside those barbed-wire fences.

They say that the Japanese people within the centers are being molly-coddled by WRA officials, and that the residents themselves are having a "grand picnic" with all the trimmings that go with it.

WRA personnel are sympathetic and understanding, to be sure, for which we are grateful. They, who can find high-salaried wartime jobs easily outside today, are living in barracks like one of us, foregoing much of their accustomed conveniences and bending every effort to seek comfort for residents under the irksome circumstances in which we find ourselves.

But they are not molly-coddling the Japanese. They have certain regulations to follow, and daily orders from Washington to carry out. And they are doing it precisely and strictly, consistent with the wartime conditions prevailing throughout the country.

It is no picnic to trudge through hot dusty roads to buy ice-cream to humor your nerve-wracked children, and to eat stew, sometimes sprinkled with sand, and to hear your little kids cry, "when are we going back home?" It is no picnic to hear plaintive voice from adolescents, "what's in store for us after he war?" It is no picnic to realize that we must offer adequate educational facilities for our growing youth, to till the farm land to feed 15,000, to look after their health, their morals and morale, and to keep everybody busy in useful labor in a closely-confined society like ours.

But all this will not get us down. We, who are in the same boat, are making the best of the situation by working hard and playing hard together. We realize the historical part we are taking in the present drama of world-upheaval. We are proud of the fact that we have done so far so good.

Citizens outside are well to let us alone, and with-hold their judgment on us or the WRA personnel until after the curtain is drawn. We are mentally prepared and grimly determined to do our part in the present national crisis. Are You?

Living as we do, a close-knit community of 16,000, in extreme proximity with one another -- it is natural that numerous misunderstandings and problems are bound to arise.

Our City is still in its formative stages. Many perplexing problems must be solved before the City settles down to a well-adjusted communal pattern.

It is up to the residents themselves to iron out the difficulties. The future well-being of the Colony hinges entirely upon how well the residents can hurdle the first months of confusion.

It is imperative that each problem be solved intelligently, through orderly negotiations. In this respect, utmost cooperation from the administration is necessary to maintain morale and harmony within the City.

Administration officials should spare no effort to maintain close contact with the residents. Only by full recognition of the residents' problems in their entirety, can matters be satisfactorily solved.

IT'S UP TO US to determine whether we are to live in harmony or in hell.

Loudly acclaimed as the best amateur show presented at Tule Lake, last Saturday's Musiquiz had thousands of customers rolling in the mythical aisles.

Well balanced and with plenty of "crowd appeal" the program started off with a bang with Pinedale's YOSHIE DOI rending a popular selection. Little 11-year-old KEIKO OGAWA, Tacoma's too tap dancing star gave her usual good performance... and it was good. We liked MOMOE KITAHARA'S two popular numbers -- The Marysville song stylist showed plenty of rhythmic punch in especially the "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree" number -- Pinedale's sensational 13-year-old-singer, MARTHA FUKAMI, was in her good form and the tremendous ovation she received was justly deserved. GEORGE IWAKIRI'S "sawelin" renditions were not only unique, but the beautiful tone quality was amazing. We are sure the customers would like to hear more of Iwakiri, his saw and bow. Everybody in Cal knows about the super lovely coloratura voice of attractive FUMIKO YABE. RIKI MATSUFUJI'S clear strong voice was very easy on the ears... His duet with Miss Yabe was splendid...

A great amount of the credit in putting the Musiquiz over should belong the Quizmaster DAVE OKADA. His smooth moderating had much to do with how the quiz rolled along perfectly. The "experts" DON YABE, PETER IGARASHI, BILL FUJII and MIN OKADA surprised the audience with their amazing knowledge on things musical. The whole program was studded with excellent talent.

M.C. for the night was PAUL TAKAHASHI.
