The population reached 14,995 with the arrival of 5 persons from the internment camp in North Dakota, 3 from Marysville, and 2 from the Japanese Patrol in San Francisco, California.

The Tule Lake Fire Department answered two alarms on Friday.

An overheated stove in Mess #245, in the administration area, sent Engines #1 and #2 to the scene at 2:15 p.m. Damage; a lightly warped stove and a few broken dishes.

At 6:10 p.m. the second alarm was sounded from Mess #1720 where an overheated boiler caused some confusion. No damage was reported.

Indications that the successful Community Forum of two weeks ago will be repeated tonight when the second meeting is held on the outdoor platform are seen in the interest being manifested by the colonists on the form topic, "Would the Community Benefit from the Uniform Wage Policy?" More than 3000 persons attended the first Community Forum.

Speakers are: Frank C. Smith, employment chief of the Tule Lake Project; Frank Miyamoto, former Associate of the University of Washington; and Koso Takemoto, political science instructor of the Adult Education program in Tule Lake. Tamotsu Shibutani is moderator.

Time: 7:30 p.m.

With seventeen students and faculty members of the Curriculum department of the Stanford University attending, an education conference was held in the Adult Education building, Warehouse 316, Friday night to discuss courses to be taught in Tule Lake when the fall term opens here for regular school. Educational leaders among the colonists were invited to attend the meeting and present their views based on the need of the students here.

Beginning with today's issue, The Tulean Dispatch will publish a complete list of block managers and block representatives to the Community Council. Following is the list for Ward I.

Block 4: Manager Ralph Shinbo; Council, George Yuasa.

Block 5: Manager Tom Maekawa; Council, Tom Uyeno.

Block 6: Manager Tom Nagasawa; Council, Fred Sakata.

Block 13: Manager Toshichi Mitoma; Council, Yoshio Furukawa.

Block 14: Manager Ben Kasubuchi; Council, Harry Tanaka.

Block 15: Manager Paul Abe; Council Morris Abe.

Block 16: Manager Frank Furukawa; Council, Nish Kumagai.

Block 17: Manager William Furuya; Council, Gerry Wakayama.

Block 19: Manager Shigeru Sakamoto; Council, Yukio Kawamoto.

A Curriculum Conference is being held in San Francisco this week, at which time the program of studies for the schools at the Relocation Centers will be mapped out by the educators from all of the colonies of the region.

It is hoped that at least 20% of the teaching staff may be recruited from among the colonists. Temporary requirements are a college degree, and a minimum of ten hours in education courses to become eligible for a teaching position. Students who do not meet the full requirements will be recruited for work as assistant teachers.

A survey is being made of the college students within the colony to determine who may be available for recruitment under the standards agreed upon.

Nursery schools will continue to function under the supervision of Miss Robinson for the summer months, and it is hoped by fall that there will be an established school in each ward. Adult Education classes under the supervision of Dr. Frances are being opened as rapidly as teaching personnel and housing are made available.

The family of the lately deceased Takei Kanemoto wish to acknowledge all the condolence extended them.

The editorial policy of the Tulean Dispatch is no different from any other American newspaper published outside in this time of war. Tule Lake colonists are here primarily to help America at war.

We have been relocated on this plateau 4500 feet above sea level; a society unique in character is being born. It is going through a painful process of birth.

Like a doctor helping a pregnant mother giving birth to a child. The Tulean Dispatch is being published primarily to aid the Tule Lake Colony come out of its struggle and agony of organization as painless as possible. That has always been the position of a newspaper in any pioneered community.

We therefore attempt to guide the colonists by pointing the way in time of their confusion and perplexity. We attempt to help the Colony mold a public opinion so that it may have some sort of social orders, social pattern, and in time a Colony Culture.

It is the policy of the newspaper to print the news of the Project as accurately as possible and to print the news of the Project as accurately as possible and to print entertaining stories so that life in the Colony may be as less drab as possible.

The Tulean Dispatch is a friend, counselor and servant all put together. We hope to live up to our policy without mental reservation.

ENOUGH DISPATCH

Dear Editor: I haven't received my copy of the Dispatch for some time. What's the matter with your paper?

SOMETIMES YOUR LUCKY!

Editor, Dispatch: Something must be definitely wrong with me. At least, a few of the people on our block think so. Anyway, I just can't stomache some of the slop we are fed. During the past week, our menu runs somewhat like this: Chop suey, suki yaki, stew, to chop suey, suki yaki, stew, hash, and then back again to chop suey, suki yaki, stew.

I sometimes wonder how it would be if we were to be fed something cooked alone; that is without the dinners being cooked a la slop with the left overs.

I don't think, I'm that queer. Some of you block four residents, I think, should be getting pretty sick of it all along with me -- so how about that friendly talk with the chief cook.

BLOCK FOUR DINER

Controversial has been the matter of wage policies throughout the entire evacuation process. Should everyone be paid equally or should there be classifications? How should workers be classified? Is the present set-up satisfactory? Opinions on these questions are varied and conflicting.

The forum tonight will discuss "Would the Community Benefit from the Uniform Wage Policy?" Uniform wage has been the demand of many for quite some time. But, will the advantages of such a policy outweigh the disadvantages or will it brew more dissension? Attend the forum and express your views. The forums are held for your benefit; hear how the others feel about wages.

Volume III Number 9

HERE WHERE the sun beats down day after day on the sand and time means only the difference between night and day, everyone at one time another begins to brood about his present predicament. Everything looks dark for the future and one doesn't know what to think.

But whenever I get in one of those moods, I think about the words that a person told me. He said, "You can't tell me a thing about how you feel. Many people lose their common sense during times of war, and try to make life hard for everyone. "But," he continued, "keep your chin up because I was a young man about your age and my parents were enemy aliens during the first World War."

THEN AGAIN no matter where you may be there is always the lighter side of life, especially when there are children.

Our next door neighbors are the very proud parents of a two week old baby girl. One young boy about six years in age stared intently at the little bundle for a few moments and suddenly said in one amazed breath, "Gosh, it looks almost like a monkey, but it's smaller than a monkey, but gee, it looks like a monkey."

Those working under superintendent Sam Friedman are file clerks Hanna Uyeno and Eddie Kanno, statistician George Tsuchiya, senior clerk Kay Shimojima, chief guide Joe Fujii and recorders Shiro Kunimatus, Tom Okabe and Tom Osasa.

With the virtual completion of transfer and evacuation to this Center, the busy Housing Department will fold up some time this week.

Putting in from 10 to 12 hours daily, the department registers all who enter, sees that all apartments are furnished with beds, mattresses, and stoves, and posts information in each unit for the benefit of the newcomers. Other duties and service include the assistance of those moving and to help with the census.

Phillip T. Sullivan, Procurement Officer, was married to Clara Matheson of Albuquerque, New Mexico Saturday, July 25 at the parsonage at Merrill, Oregon. They are honeymooning at Crater Lake, Oregon. Sullivan was formerly employed by the Soil Conservation Service in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he met his bride.

Paul Fleming, Chief of Community Service, would like to talk with any resident of the Project who has had experience in college teaching. This will include those who have acted as instructors, readers, and laboratory assistants.

Fleming will keep office hours from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to interview anyone with the experience, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, in #1808.

"We have as yet no assurance that classes on a college level may be offered, but it seems wise to make a survey of the possible teaching staff," Fleming said.

Adult Education classes in the writing of poetry will be started shortly with separate groups for Issei and Nisei enthusiasts.

Ken Yasuda, study group leader, indicated that English verification for the Nisei will be held Wed. and Fridays 7 to 9 p.m. Hacku for the Issei will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays.

Animal Husbandry Course will be open to those interested. Feeds and feeding, breeding, and parasites and diseases will be the main topics discussed. The principal examples will be poultry and hogs. The meetings will be held in #3808 Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. Class begins on July 28.

Girls or boys who have been members or leaders in 4H clubs are asked to leave names and addresses at 1608 or 1908 with Miss Alice Mukai, secretary.

Girls between 10 and 17 interested in sowing, knitting, crocheting and handicraft are asked to register at 1608 in the mornings, and afternoons, and at 2008 in the afternoons.

A class in knitting will start next week in the afternoon and evenings. Those who are interested please register at #1608 9 a.m. 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. 4 p.m. starting Friday. Registration will end July 31.

Combined track strength of Wards 2 and 3 proved too much for the rest of the colony as they copped the titles in both the B class and the unlimited division. For class A the winners scored 36, Ward 4 32 and Wards 1 and 5 hit 16. In class B Wards 2 and 3 ran up a total of 49 to 27 for Wards 1 and 5 while Ward 4 was not in the running.

The outstanding performance of the day was diminutive Jiro Nakaoki from Sacramento Hi who was a triple winner, copping the 50, 100 and the 220 yard dashes in B division. Kaz Nakashima's terrific heave of 171' 2 1/2" in the football throw was one of highlights of the field events.

Yamada of the class A sprinters lived up to advance notices by winning both the 100 and the 220 yd dashes and Sho Nakamoto, springy Hollister high jumper cleared the horizontal bar at the amazing height of 5' 9". His try for 5' 10" was unsuccessful.

Complete Results:

Class A 100 yd. -- Yamada, Nakamoto Kurahara -- 11.2 sec.

220 yd. -- Yamada, Kurahara 25.4 sec.

440 yd. -- Tanuma, Sasaki, Guro -- 64.6 sec.

880 yd. -- Kushida, Hada, 2:27

High Jump -- Nakamoto, Takahashi, Iwata -- 5'9"

Broad Jump -- Takai, Kido, Kurahara -- 19' 10"

Shot Put -- Nishida, Yasui, Sasaki -- 49' 4 1/2"

Ftball Throw -- Shibata, Hosokawa, Imura -- 147' 6"

In a pitching duel, R. Muraoka bested Shishida, 5-2 in a close National league game. Shishida held Oak Park in check until the fatal 5th when they pushed over five runs on 2 hits, a walk and 3 errors. Muraoka for the Parkers and Kondo for the Oregonians hit well.

In Sunday morning's opening ball game the makeshift Imais were nosed out by the West Sacramento nine in a seven inning thriller 9-8. Although little George Sakamoto and rookie Saki Irokawa pitched creditable ball for the Imais, timely hitting by the West Sac'to shortstop Jimmy Uno won the game in the last half of the seventh. The powerful Rookies drubbed the Loomis Red Lions 7-3 in the noon time game.

The colorful Royal Flushes shellacked the Hillmen 10-0 behind the steady pitching of Beans Yamamoto, former university chucker. Marysville's combination of Lefty Nakao and Haru Yamamoto proved too much for the Scrubs as the Hub city squad ran roughshod over them 24-0. Slugger Tom Takeda and Nakao each with 3 for 3, were top batsmen for the day.

All hardball games will be played on Wed., Thurs., Fri, Sat, and Sun nights and Sunday mornings and afternoons.

Big Sam Ishida, former McClatchy Hi and Jr. Legion churcher, struck out 15 Placer batters in winning his first league encounter 7-0. He was faced by 23 batters in the 7 inning game. S. Morisato of the hillmen garnered the lone hit off the classy Riverside pitcher, Lefty Kodama, Placer pitcher, struck out 8 men, but costly errors on the part of his teammates contributed to the loss.

Batt: Sam Ishida-S. Ishida Kodama, Sakai & Makimoto

Revamped UC Bears upset the Club 1400 squad in a tight game 6-4. In winning their second consecutive game, the Californians featured an airtight defense to foil the Fourteen Hundred's hitting power.

All teams not entered in any league, either softball or hardball, and who wish to enter competition are asked to contact baseball commissioner Tatsuro Yada or any member of his staff at recreation center 1908.
