Granada P I O N E E R
Vol. I, No. 17 Amache, Colorado December 19, 1942
CENTER NEEDS
LANDSCAPE
Fifty men are needed for
landscape work which con-
sists of building side-
walks, terracing, stone-
retaining walls, planting
trees and shrubs within
the center, said Acting
Landscape Architect Louis
G. Temple.
Temple who has taught
classes for the past eight
years in connection with
the Bureau of Reclamation
and the National Park Serv-
ice will be glad to start
classes here for those se-
riously interested in land-
scaping as a future vocation.
SIXTH DRAFT
REGISTRATION
President Roosevelt's
sixth selective service
proclamation decrees that
citizens born on Sept. 1,
1924 through Oct. 31, 1924
must register before Dec.
25 prompts Walter J. Knodel,
selective service official.
PIONEER EXPANDS
ISSEI SECTION
Beginning with this is-
sue, the PIONEER Japanese
section has been expanded
to four pages. Says Robert
Asamoto, chief translator,
"We realise the issei have
not been completely satis-
fied, because of the lack
of Japanese section report-
ers and the limited scope
of the translations from
English. We are making a
try at a four-page Japanese
section and hope that the
issei will be pleased."
KARPEN IN PROMOTION
Commanding Officer John
P. Karpen of the 355th Es-
cort Guard company sta-
tioned here was promoted
to the rank of Captain Dec.
11.
Capt. John P. Karpen's
visit last weekend with
Capt. Paul Roach and Major
E. E. McKnight of the M.P.
detachment in Denver was
made doubly enjoyable by a
reunion with his brothers,
Peter H. and Hilary, whom
he had not seen for 19
years.
14 NISEI MANAGERS
TENDER RESIGNATIONS
In the hope that issei might have a place in the
center's self-government set-up, fourteen nisei block
managers this week tendered their resignations to Proj-
ect Director James G. Lindley and recommended that is-
sei block advisers be appointed to replace them.
The nisei will continue to serve in the assembly.
Commented Director Lind-
ley, "I view the action of
the younger block managers
in stepping aside to allow
the older group to fill
these important positions
with admiration and appre-
ciation. I will cooperate
to the extent of giving
full agreement to any such
arrangements as are made
in various blocks.
"I feel that this action
indicates conclusively that
there is a common desire
to serve the people as a
whole and a feeling of ac-
cord between issei and ni-
sei which I hope will be
retained for the duration."
FARMERS IN
SCRAP DRIVE
With workers from the
farm section and agricul-
ture students from the cen-
ter school participating,
a "scrap drive" was held
this week under the leader-
ship of John R. Justice,

dent.
Discarded farming equip-
ment, rails, stoves, pumps,
