ABSENTEE VOTING: We can not stress too strongly that those individuals who are registered voters should write to their respective County Clerks for absentee ballots. This should be done immediately.

TRANSPORTATION: Those individuals who do not have their own transportation may get help along this line by contacting Mrs. Davis of the Social Security Agency or the WCCA, 317 SW 8th Ave. This transportation is provided by the Japanese Evacuation Committee of the Portland Council of Churches. In as much as the number of cars are limited, those are limited, those who are able to make other arrangements should do so.

REGISTRATION OF FAMILIES: At present there are still several hundred people who have not yet registered with the Social Security Agency in the WCCA center, 317 SW 8th Ave. This should be done as soon as possible in order that the agency help those individuals with any problems of health, welfare, or property.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS FOR DRAFTEES: Arrangements are now being made for those individuals who must report a change of address to the local boards. This will probably be done after we are in the assembly center. More details will be given later.
