ENTERPRISES
EXPLAINED
  The organization and
Standards under which the
community enterprises op-
erate were explained by
the co-op incorporated com-
mittee recently.
  Community stores and
shops are temporarily be-
ing operated in trust until
the cooperative association
is set up to take charge.
  Clerks in the various
stores are responsible to
their respective managers
who in turn are responsible
to the superintendent and
managing committee.
  The enterprises began
without capital and are
running on credit until
adequate funds can be pro-
vided  by the association.
  Because the WRA offers
supervision but neither
equipment nor capital, the
enterprises are self-sup-
porting, paying all opera-
ting costs and wages of
resident workers.
  Goods are sold at pre-
vailing-market prices rath-
er than at cost because
the cooperatives cannot
afford a cut-rate repute-

business antagonism and
out off sources of supplies.

BLACKOUT
A SUCCESS
  The center’s first trial

acclaimad a success by Po-

linson, yesterday.  "The
whole-hearted cooperation
of the people was greatly
appreciated," he declared.
  The fire truck, making
a test run during the black-

volume in future tests.

CENTER HAS
HIGH RECORD
  Nineteen men from the
Granada relocation project
answered the Army's call
for volunteers and left for
the military language school
at Savage, Minn.,  Monday
evening.
  A crowd of 200 bid good-
by to the enlistees who
left the center in two
trucks.   After a dinner at
the Grand cafe in Lamar,
the recruits boarded the
east-bound train at 10:15
p.m.
  "The Granada center made
the best per capita showing
of all 10 relocation cen-
ters," said Lt. Roy Hirano,
head of the recruiting
staff.   "We are extremely
gratified with the results
and wish that we could have
stayed longer," he added.
The staff was unable to
prolong its stay because
it is a week and a half
behind  schedule.
  Hirano also expressed
his appreciation for the
cooperation which he re-
ceived from the adminis-
tration and residents of
the project, and thanked
Lt. John P. Karpen and the
335th Escort Guard company
for the hospitality shown
his staff during its stay
here.
