Plans for Higher Education Mooted

With definite recommendations to serve as a basis for establishing higher education at Tule Lake, the conference on advanced education closed its session Thursday.

The meeting was in nature of a general survey and was not meant to raise any false hope, stated Allen C. Blaisdell, chairman.

The discussion was divided into two parts.

I. What is to be offered on the junior college level?

II. College extension course level.

The college extension course on an accredited basis would apply to those students unable to go outside schools on the basis of their student relocation questionnaire.

The main effort, the committee felt, should be directed toward relocation of students, wherever possible, to schools outside.

JUNIOR COLLEGE PROGRAM DISCUSSED

On the question of junior college training, Elmer L. Shirrell, project director, recommended that courses which can be started immediately should be given consideration.

Some of the courses which could be started immediately were listed as follows: floriculture, cooking and baking on a mass scale, farm mechanics and other type of machine work, truck farming,

Notice to Those Not Interviewed

Those persons who have not had their census interview by the end of this week are asked to call at the Records Division #2308 at once.


Tire Shortage Curbs Car Usage

The automobile tire situation has become so acute that now restrictions are to be enforced throughout the Colony. This not only applies to Colonists but to the Caucasian personnel as well, it was announced by Director Elmer L. Shirrell.

Instead of riding, America is walking. The difficulty of obtaining tires anywhere in the country is a national problem and if the situation is reflected at the relocation centers it must be accepted with good grace, the same as it is in the country at large.

TAXI SERVICE TO BE RESTRICTED

The transportation problem at Newell will undergo radical changes. Taxi service is to be restricted to only the most urgent necessity. Trucks leaving the Center for the farm or other work projects will hereafter leave at stated hours so that as many workers as possible will be accommodated.

A system of plutocracy now exists at the Center in which certain personnel have deemed it their inalienable right to use taxi service at any time during the day. This condition will no longer exist. The Colonists will understand this urgent necessity when, as Dr. Carson pointed out, (Page 2, Col. 2, Please)


Bill Marutani Wins Oratorical

Bill Marutani, speaking on the topic "WE, WHO CARRY THE TORCH" was awarded first place among ten contestants in the college age oratorical contest held at 1320, Friday night. Second place went to Mas Yamasaki who spoke on "OUR PART IN THE WAR EFFORT."

Judges for the evening were Mrs. Elmer Shirrell, Kenneth L. Harkness, and the Rev. Shigeo Tanabe.


Store No. 4 Robbed

The robbery of canteen No. 4, directly behind the Administration Building, was reported yesterday morning when it was discovered that cash amounting to approximately $95 and 20 cartons of cigarettes had been taken from the store by a marauder some time last Thursday night.

The thief gained access to the store through a rear window facing the administration mess hall.

The thief was an amateur, apparently, for finger prints were left on the broken glass. Also, foot prints were left on the broken glass. Also, foot prints by the window serve as an excellent clue, and other tell-tale evidences will, it is thought, bring the thief speedily to trial.

The money taken in during the day is banked, and the amount stolen represents the sales which occurred after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. This money is removed

Sickness Prevention Week

It would be trite to give a statistical analysis of the economic loss due to illness in the United States during any given year. Suffice it is to say the total is appalling. Add to such cold statistics, the physical and mental sufferings of patient, family and friends, and no one can deny the importance of sickness prevention.

Recognition of such a problems is, however, an insufficient [illegible] to provide an aggressive program of control. It is necessary to have interested and vigilant groups of individuals willing to activate campaigns of public health. As a matter of definition, a public health program may be classified as the organized effort of a minority group to prevent individual members of a community from becoming ill.

It often follows that public health measures may violate normal, private rights. Within this project, one entire ward has been quarantined until today and one block still remains under this quarantine. The citizens of the various blocks, and especially the children, have been deprived of some of their normal liberties, such as that of seeing friends and playmates. As individuals, they naturally may be expected to harbor some resentment, even though recognizing the necessity of such quarantine restrictions.

By their cooperative spirit, they have enabled the Health department and the Department of Internal Security to control a possible epidemic, since only one case of chickenpox has developed to date in the entire project outside the quarantined areas. Surely this record will attest to the very real value of public health precautions concerning communicable disease and its efficacy justifies the temporary inconveniences and sacrifices of the groups affected, for experience has shown that we should have had a widespread epidemic had not the individuals concerned been willing to deny themselves for the benefit of others.

1424 Students Register for High School

With 16 registrars working, 1424 high school pupils signed up for classes last Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, it was reported.

The subject curriculum program is checked four times to assure the right choices of subjects for each individual.

All of block 66 and two more barracks will be used for temporary housing for the high schools. A new school library will be opened in #908, it was also announced.

Students under 18 must register for school. A check will be made later to ascertain the registration of all these under 18 years of age.

No post-graduate work will be offered, but it is hoped that some program will be provided for those desiring such studies, Harkness stated.


City Faces Tire Problem (Cont.)

(Continued from Page 1)
The time may come when it will be necessary to take patients to the hospital on a stretcher rather than in an ambulance. The War Relocation Authority has been informed that when the present supply of tires here has been exhausted, there will be no more replacements. Colonists are urged to consider these facts and to cooperate to the utmost.


Advanced Studies Discussed (Cont.)

(Continued from Page 1)

courses related to business administration (operation of business machines of various kinds), course on nursing, police and firemen training, community organization and leadership training, tea room management and institution management.

All these are accredited courses and credits will be received from the junior college.

Main effort will be to provide courses which will train personnel here for jobs on the project and for post war construction.

Attempt will be to correlate the immediate and post war needs.

In this respect, the committee felt that a dean of education should be appointed to correlate courses with project activities and future vocational possibility of students.

The feasibility of a college extension course need further detailed planning. Plans are being considered to take care of this need.


Canteen No. 4 Robbed (Cont.)

(Continued from Page 1)

from the cash register at night and secreted in a place that would be difficult for anyone to find it who was unfamiliar with the place.

This theft is thought to be an outside job. There have been criticisms recently of the number of idlers who stand about, and some effort has already been made to clear the canteen of people who remain in it after making purchases.

This is the first major theft to be reported on the Project and it is one that is viewed with deep regret, since this Project has had a high standard of conduct and honesty.

Enlistees Must Work 8 Hours

Colonists employed on the project are paid to work eight hours a day, it was stated, at the administration meeting. This does not permit anyone to quit earlier.

Workers on the farm leave by truck at 8 a.m. government time and return at 5 p.m. on their own time. However, a number of workers on the farm and other work projects have been returning to the Center earlier than hour stipulated. Henceforth, all workers are required to fulfill their entire work quota of hours, it was decided.


New Offices Opened in #1608

Don Elberson, supervisor of civic organizations, announced the opening of headquarters for block managers, co-operatives, and Community government in #1608. All persons working in connection with any of the three departments are asked to bring their problems to this office.

Elberson added that a co-operative library will also be maintained there.


Kite Flying to be Banned

Because of continuing difficulty with kites getting in the wires, Director Shirrell has issued instructions to wardens that hereafter, no kite-flying is to be permitted except as a competition conducted under the supervision of a recreation leader.

The next such competition will be on Labor Day. This means that "no kites may be flown between now and Labor Day, Sept. 7.

'Cowboy' Saiki Lassos 'Porky'

Without benefit of applause from thundering crowds, Hideo Saiki of 506-D was awarded the honor of bulldozing a PORKY in the accepted manner of the wild and woolly west.

While out for an airing the other night, Saiki noticed a small black thing crawling about 30 feet away. Upon closer observation, he discovered it to be a porcupine. The next 30 minutes were spent in frantic efforts of lassoeing.

Protest Unsettled, Second Game Mon.

Regardless of what the decision will be on the protest that the Yogores made on the first game, the second play-off contest between the Salem Senators and Yogores is scheduled for Monday. August 31 on field 3 at 7 p.m.

No game will be played tonight as previously announced since both teams can not be at full strength.

Further information concerning the protest follow:

In the protest of the game the Yogore team demanded a forfeit victory on the grounds that Salem stalled unnecessarily when the mutually agreed deadline of 8:15 p.m. was approaching.

Here is what the "Official Softball Rules for 1942" published by A.G. Spalding & Bros. says about forfeited games.

RULE 6 -- FORFEITED GAMES

A forfeited game shall be declared by the umpire in favor of the team not at fault, in the following cases.
(Sections 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 are not listed because they do not deal with the problem.)

SECTION 4. IF A TEAM EMPLOYS TACTICS PALPABLY DESIGNED TO DELAY THE GAME.

SECTION 5. IF, AFTER WARNING BY THE UMPIRE, ANY ONE OF THE RULES OF THE GAME IS WILLFULLY VIOLATED.

In considering the above rules then, it is up to the umpires to decide whether a team "stalls" or not. But it is doubtful whether any umpire would suddenly forfeit a game without first giving a warning to the guilty team.

But whatever were the conditions of the game under question, there remains but five alternatives from which to make a decision. These are:

1. If Salem was stalling to the extent that it was unreasonable, then the Yogores would win a game by forfeit.

2. If Salem had not stalled unreasonably then it would be Salem's game.

3. To play the game entirely over.

4. To play the game entirely over.

5. Or if the demands of one or both teams were unreasonable then to call the whole series off.

If sportsmanship is going to have any part in the play-off games it seems from this corner that decision 3 or 4 would settle the matter more thoroughly than would the others.

But if it can't be settled to everyone's satisfaction we'll take the last decision -- call it all off.

Termites Win Junior Play-off

Powerful Termites won two straight play-off games from the Gaels to win the Junior League Title after both teams had ended the regular season in a tie for first place.

After winning a close 4-2 decision in the first game, the Termites turned on the power and swamped the Gaels 15 to 6 in the deciding contest.
