Health problems are always present in large groups, especially here where so many people are living so closely together. Thus it is highly desirable that all attention be given to public health problems, so that community health can be maintained at the highest level possible.

Deeply concerned over the increasing instances of gangsterism within the colony, the Community Council last night took steps to formulate basic policies to preserve law and order in the community.

Rules and regulation will be drawn up by the Judicial committee and will be submitted to the Council for approval.

Under WRA regulation, the Council is empowered to prescribe regulations and provide penalties for all misdemeanors short of a felony.

Felonies will fall under the jurisdiction of state laws and will be turned over to the outside courts.

The latest instance of gang violence occurred last Friday afternoon when a resident of Block 26 was assaulted by five men.

The incident was turned over to the Judicial committee and a hearing was conducted Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The hearing is still in session.

When the hearings are concluded, the Judicial committee will call an emergency meeting of the Community Council to review the case and recommend a disposition of the case. The case will then be turned over to the project director for the final disposition.

Canteen #3 will reopen in building #4108 Thursday. The shoe repair shop is to be located in the opposite end of the same barrack though entrances will be through a different door.

Dress shoes will be sold, announces manager Lawrence Nakano.

To study and discuss the opportunities and needs for education in its various phases beyond the high school level, a group of educators met with Tule Lake educational leaders Tuesday for a three day conference.

At this meeting an agenda for the conference was laid. The group will study various approaches to the educational problems. Emphasis will be laid on college education for those unable to go to attend schools on the outside.

The members felt that potential leadership for post war construction lay in this group and that their potentiality must be developed.

All phases of educational plans, including vocational training, will be studied during the conference. They will attempt to form at least a general overall plan. From this a more detailed approach to the problem will be made later.

After the conference, the group will visit Manzanar and Poston relocation centers to make educational surveys there.

All those taking extension courses or interested in taking such course from the University of California are requested to meet with Boyd B. Rakestraw, associate business manager of the extension division.

The meeting will be held Thursday, 10 to 12 a.m. behind #4 canteen.

Dancing classes scheduled at #1908 for Thurs. has been canceled due to funeral services to be held.

Although experienced farm workers are preferred, all able-bodied persons (the issei or nisei) interested in the harvesting of agricultural crops outside the Project anywhere from Nebraska to Idaho, are requested to sign with Frank D. Fagan, placement officer.

Before leaving here every worker must sign a contract. A definite job, prevailing wages, a place to live, housing facilities, cooking facilities, transportation to and from the Project will be provided.

Frank C. Smith, chief of the employment division, will be in charge of recruiting which will take place within a week or two.

WHEN
...I went to school, they taught us that reading was essentially a form of escapism with of course whatever entertainment value or informative material contained therein. They taught us that then, but it took this evacuation to really prove it.

HERE
...where idle time is prevalent, reading becomes an all important source of time-killing. The library has become an important institution and text books as well as novels have become means of entertaining escape.

WE
...have in our city a library really worth while investigating. Books galore line the shelves. Novels of renown as "The Grapes of Wrath", "That Day Alone", "My Name is Aram," "Keyes To The Kingdom", "One Foot In Heaven", and "Giant Joshua" to text books on English, Literature, Religion, Philosophy, Physiology, Sociology and many more cover but part of the reading material available. To the higher intellects the librarians will help borrow books from the California State Library and for the younger set, a juvenile section has been set aside with quaintly illustrated and amusing books.

THIS
...isn't a plug for the library, because why should a recluse where time may be whiled away in complete disregard for worldly ways with perhaps "rima" in her green mansion forest or with "eben adams" in his idealistic world of good things need a plug. It's a world created for escape through the need of entertainment and admission is but the rummaging among the shelves.

BOOKS FOR ISSEI, KIBEI BUT
...with it all, one phase has been overlooked; the entertaining and informing of the issei and kibei elements of the community. Surely, they, too, are capable of the purely human interest on reading. The WRA through Army cooperation can and should bring in Japanese books for them. Such books as dissertations on the popular "senryu or haiku", translations of classical novels as "Les Miserable", and surely informative texts on various phases of studies as well as on democracy and the history of the United States. What better method than teaching hand in hand with the necessity of entertaining?

MIND OVER MATTER
"Pass the 'chicken', please."
"Aw, come on, now."
She couldn't believe it.
"How about the champagne."
"Aw---."
"Come, now. How about the second helping of 'chicken'."

Sadly wagging her head, she took the plate back to the kitchen. "You know, those guys have been out in the sun too much," she confides in the cooks. "They seem to think this is chicken. It looks like it, sorta, but---."

Any way, the boys agree that tempura tastes better masqueraded as 'chicken'. Disillusions are gratifying, sometimes -- if carried just so far.

Declaring August 24-31 as Sickness Prevention Week is an excellent way of awakening us to the values of health. Of course, it goes without saying that sickness prevention, or the preservation of health to put it positively, is the personal obligation of each colonist to the community at large 365 days of the year and not something to be limited to any one week.

Each colonist owes it to his family and next door neighbor to do his utmost in maintaining his health and if ill to take every precaution not to spread whatever sickness he has. This is all the more necessary with limited facilities and insufficient number of doctors and nurses.

Besides the inconvenience and suffering for the patient, illness always means a general sagging of spirit and added nervous strain to others in the family. And this is no time to be taking in the family. And this is no time to be taking on added burden. No matter how you look at it, even with the service at the Base Hospital free, no colonist here can afford to get sick. And so this special week set aside to emphasize sickness prevention deserves your eager support and mine. -- The Rev. SHIGEO TANABE

Owners of rental dwelling houses are required to file a report with the Office of Price Administration. The Legal Aid department will help file this report. Persons affected by this law are those owning dwelling units in the following areas:

Coal heaters, by the thousand, will shortly go into operation as first signs of cold weather hit the city this week. Likewise, fire hazards will increase, fire prevention officials warned.

Dry cleaning of clothes in heated, close rooms are condemned as an extremely dangerous practice. Fire prevention officials say that most cleaning fluids will separate into inflammable gasses upon evaporation, thereby creating a grave menace.

The "Veeco" brand of cleaning fluid, now carried by community stores, has been found reasonable safe under ordinary precautions; but should be used only in laundry rooms or similar places where the circulation of air is good, authorities indicated.

Homecoming Monday afternoon were Dr. A.B. Carson, Dr. George Iki, Gertrude Wetzel and Sumi Shinozaki from the Heart Mountain W.R.A. project in Cody, Wyoming where they aided in setting up a base hospital.

Dr. Carson stated that he was very happy to be back. He said that the two camps were very similar, although some of the buildings were better. Due to the shortage of motel, brick chimneys are used. It is extremely dry and dusty there and the water situation is comparatively good. Residents from Pomona and Santa Anita make up the present population of approximately 2,200.

IT WAS REPORTED
...to us that certain unthinking individuals have been ridiculing members of the coal crew because of their coal-blackened appearance.

All of which is in extreme bad taste and entirely uncalled for.

The coal crew works hard so that the residents need not shiver come winter.

To us, their coal-smudged faces and clothes covered with coal-dust represents a badge of honor.

Our hats are off to the boys who shovel the coal.

WHILE WE'RE
...on the subject, let's not forget the workers on the garbage crew, dining halls and sanitation who work diligently day after day for our comfort and well-being.

They are all doing their tasks, cheerfully and well, unsung and without fanfare.

Theirs is the kind of spirit which will contribute much to making this a better place in which to live.

KATSURI
...our mimeographer and official good humor boy of THE DISPATCH, took the spotlight for a side-splitting minute or so at the forum Monday night.

When the roving mike was passed around during the question period, Kats shot this question at Editor Howard Imazeki:

"How old do you think a person should be before he gets married?"

Came back Pundit Imazeki's voice, loud and blaring, over the loud speakers:

"I think I recognize the voice. It's my friend Katsuro from the newspaper office."

And the answer, short and crisp: "You're too young to be married."

Murakami is his last name and he's 17.

Small Frys, although really diminutive in size, give the favored Deltans a fight before coming down to a 16-10 defeat Monday night.

Deltans, Western league titlists, started early by taking a commanding 7 run lead at the end of the second stanza. Small Fry's big moment came in the fourth when they pushed across five runs on walks and a series of errors.

Deltans cinched their first leg on the two out of three series in the fifth as four runs were tallied on five hits.

Second game of the "World Series" will be played tonight on Field 6. Batteries:

Matsumoto and Ito
Hata and Umezu

6-4 win over the Inter mountain Rooks enabled the West Sacramento AC to hold on to their first place spot in the American hardball loop.

Although the Rooks managed to get 12 hits to Sacramentans 8, effective hurling by Ard Kozono stymied their chances for a win.

Surpassing even the fantastic Pee Wee league scores was Spark Plugs 56-24 win over the Pick Ups last week in an American loop contest.

Pick Ups were leading until the third inning 9-3. Spark Plug's offensive machine broke loose in the fourth for 9 runs, followed by 10 in the 5th 12 in the sixth and 19 in the last to establish the all-league scoring record.
