Procedures through which individual American citizens of Japanese ancestry and their families may obtain permits to leave Relocation Centers to accept jobs have been announced by Dillon S. Myer, national director of the War Relocation Authority. The procedures were announced through an official instruction sent to the WRA officials.

Permission to leave the Relocation Centers will be granted only to American-born persons who never have lived in Japan or attended school there. A resident of a Relocation Center who has a definite offer of a job outside the Center, and outside the Western Defense Command, which includes Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Montana, may apply to the director of the Center for a permit.

If there are dependent members of the family, the applicant will state what plans have been made for taking care of those who will accompany him and for those who will remain in the Relocation Center.

Permission to leave the Relocation Center will be granted by the national director of WRA, after obtaining full information as to the loyalty of the person applying and the nature of employment offered. The national director will make necessary arrangements with the prospective employer to issue satisfactory working conditions, and also will communicate with local officials in the community where the applicant will live.

The permit to leave the Relocation Center will be issued by the director of the Center. Under the terms as outlined, the War Relocation Authority will provide transportation to the nearest railroad or bus station, and the traveler will arrange for and pay for all other transportation required.

Some 5,700 colonists are now gainfully employed in Tule Lake, according to figures released by the Placement bureau.

Officials at the Placement bureau declared that positions in greatest demand were in the maintenance and office divisions. This department employee the most workers to date. At the present time there are only openings in the Construction and Farm Labor classifications.

"Positions are always open for qualified persons", stated receptionist Teiko Mafune. Workers are employed on the basis of experience and education in their particular line. Although there may be too many on the waiting list now, those people who fulfill the two qualifications best will eventually be selected.

Reports about college graduates with Ph.D. degrees working in kitchens were branded as false by the smiling receptionists.

From Saturday all canteens in this center will open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The usual closure from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. will also be observed.

Kendall Smith, supervisor of Community Enterprises, stated these hours were necessary so that clerks would not exceed 190 hours work.

Data for final stages of placement of students who have received acceptances in colleges outside the Western Defense Command were being complied today.

Joanne Russell, secretary of the Portland Student Relocation Council branch, arrived Thursday to gather information from students already accepted by individual sch-

After being blanked by Riverside last week, the Placer team came back to nose out the fighting Cal All Stars 6-5. Lefty Kodama again struck out 8 batters in his six inning victory.

The All Stars muffed a chance to at least tie the count in the last inning when they scored three runs and failed to bring in the important tally which died on third. With but one away, hard hitting Larry Hoshiko was stranded on third as two All Star batters were called out on strikes.

Omoto, Kodama and Uratsu each had 2 hits for Placer.

The Housing department desires the following information in connection with Friday night's census:

1) Names, both American and Japanese.
2) Family number.
3) Date of arrival to Tule Lake.
It is imperative that every member in each apartment be at his place of residence when the census is taken between 12 midnight and 1:30 a.m.

"If the information is ready for the interviewers," states Samuel Friedman, housing superintendent, "the interview should not last more than two or three minutes."

Proving that majority Tule Lake residents are thoroughly Americanized, the preference for American food prevails throughout the city.

Luther Stults, chief steward of the dining halls here, finds that over 65 per cent of the people prefer American food to Japanese food. Stults makes up the menus, three of them a day which are uniform through out the center.

To feed the Tulean population of 15,018, $6000 worth of food stuff is required daily. Sixteen warehouses and four refrigerated warehouses, each of them 20 by 100 feet, are required to store the food which is delivered weekly and furnished by the army quartermaster. Some of the food stuff is bought through local dealers in Klamath Falls. Perishables are delivered once a week; staples monthly and milk is delivered daily. A 10-day staple food supply is always on hand.

Of the 63 dining halls in the colony, 56 are now in operation. Two thousand one hundred workers constitute the dining hall personnel. Employed are 800 waitresses and 300 cooks. Each block dining hall takes care of approximately 255 people.

Stults stated that he hoped to have the balance of the kitchens open within a week.

Mrs. Mary Shizu Kudo and her 13-year-old daughter, Jo Ann, arrived here Wednesday from Palerma, California. This brings the population to 15,018.

Pictures of Tule Lake and other relocation centers will be on display at the DISPATCH office, #1608, for an indefinite period beginning tomorrow.

Francis Stewart, official project photographer took the pictures which represent varied aspects at the relocation centers.

The display will be open to the public.

The Fire department is distributing equipments to be placed in each washroom in the city for use of residents in case of fire. These equipments consists of water buckets, axes, shovels, and alarm whistles.

The alarm whistle is to be used only in case of actual fire or serious accident when immediate assistance is needed.

"Do not abuse the equipment that are placed for your safety," Fire Chief Rhodes declared.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, "The Tempo" monthly magazine will be shelved indefinitely.

Full 15 cents will be duly refunded to all subscribers as soon as the books are straightened.

Members of the Rotary club of Tule Lake term and Klamath Falls were entertained at a luncheon given by Project Director Elmer L. Shirrell Wednesday noon, at the Administration dining hall.

Harry Mayeda acted as chairman. Greeting was extended by Robert Ota.

With Sam Takagishi as song leader, the guests participated in group singing.

The Rotarians were entertained by several musical selections.

With Helen Mayeda as accompanist, Fumiko Yabe sang "Ill Baccio" and a "New Moon" selection.

A piano solo was given by Haruko Sato. For her selection she played "Etude in B flat Major" by Chopin.

A violin solo "Meditation from Thais" was given by Kay Nakamura. She was accompanied by Helen Nitta.

The hardest working group of enlistees in the Tule Lake colony is doctors in the Base hospital who put in 70 to 80 hours a week. Our hats off to them.

Of all things that demoralize anybody in a group life in the Colony are the complaints that arise from physical suffering due to sickness.

For that the Base hospital here holds on important spot in the smooth management of our city. It is fortunate that Tule Lake has a staff of competent physicians and surgeons whose professional standing has been unquestionably above average. It is also fortunate that the Base hospital is new equipped with everything to take care of medical needs of the colonists here and to perform even major brain operations.

It is well that the colonists remember the grueling hours that the doctors are going through in their effort to minister the physical suffering of the people so that they may never have the occasion to abuse the facilities offered here.

We are in the same boat: doctors, lawyers, ministers, students, farmers, merchants, all of us. Let's never forget that! H.M.I.

Long about the time, the evening sun droops over Tule Lake, a sing spiration will commence at the outdoor stage. There's something about a songfest -- perhaps an escape for pent up emotions -- that is relaxing.

It reminds me of a little ditty that went something like this: "Singing is a fine thing... it brightens everything when dark and dreary... it helps you on the road when you have a heavy load... singing is the thing to make you cheery...".

Perhaps, it may do none of these things. It may be, it only brings a certain amount of pleasantness through fellowship and association with other singers, or perhaps just mere pleasure is singing to be singing. To those who may attend only to listen -- isn't there something about a community sing that is inspiring, that lends wings to blues, and quiets disturbing thoughts? If it does all these things and more, then attend tonight's sing spiration.

Long about the time, the pale yellow moon makes its way upwards from the eastern horizon, you'll go home knowing that tomorrow is a lovely day. F.S.T.

Director Elmer L. Shirrell is to be commended for taking the initiative in honoring members of Rotary Club of Tulelake with a Wednesday luncheon here. Tulelake residents are neighbors of Tule Lake colonists. We certainly wish to get along well with our neighbors for the duration of our temporary domicile here. It is hoped that the Tulelake Rotarians brought back with them an impression that would go far in correcting some of the rumors that are reported raging furiously outside. HMI

Editor, Tulean Dispatch: With regards to our "residence" here, in the Tule Lake Relocation Center, it is possible to have published in the Tulean Dispatch at the very earliest conveniences, the following:

1. The responsibilities of the W.R.A. to the "residents".
a. such as food, shelter, and clothing.
b. education, medical aid, and supplies.
2. What is being done by the local authorities to create work for everyone able to work.
3. What are the plans for the community. Are we to be self-supporting, or is that a mere idea or is it the order from W.R.A.

Let's have some action. Find out things definitely and quiet down a lot of rumors. Tak Kato

Editor's note: (complete information regarding these subjects is contained in the Work Corps pamphlet and Questions and Answers for evacuees. Should the writer not have a copy of these he may obtain them from the Placement Officer.)

Editor, Dispatch,
What is this thing coming to? Now they want to buy lumber!

When I passed the canteen this afternoon there were 2x4's and plywood for sale. The wood wasn't even decent. More likely they were rejected pieces. Is it implied that we must purchase our own wood if our rooms are to be furnished. t.k.

(The answer is simple. Some of the canteen workers wished to partition their apartments and build furnitures, therefore they bought lumber through the canteen. The excess lumber is being sold -- partly as a benefit to the residents who want lumber and partly to defray expenses of the original buyers. Editor)
