CENTER HAS
FIRST FIRE
The Granada project saw
its first major fire when
flames ravaged the apart-
ment of Mrs. Yuki Kitaba-
yashi, 6E-10F, Sunday at
6:50 p.m. and caused damage
estimated at $150 by Vern
Campbell, fire protection
officer.
The fire was believed
to have started by laundry
hung too close to the stove.
The fire crew had the
situation well under con-
trol soon after their ar-
rival. Household goods
and other articles were
removed from the burning
apartment by the neighbors.
Mrs. Kitabayashi’s hus-
band is at present employed
outside the center.
MRS. KITABAYASHI
GIVES THANKS
Mrs. Yuki Kitabayashi
would like to thank all
those who aided in offset-
ting losses incurred during
the fire in her room Sunday
evening.
She is temporarily the
guest of Fujie Nozawa, 6E-
6A.
Chief Steward
Stops Rumors
William Wells, chief
project steward, yesterday
scotched rumors that the
administrative mess hall
is using food earmarked
for evacuees.
He made it clear that
administration food is or-
dered in addition to the
regular supply. The cost
of food and labor is de-
ducted from the salaries
of the patrons.
HOLLY FARMERS THANK
PROJECT BEET WORKERS
Granada project beet
workers were thanked pub-
licly for their aid in har-
vesting crops in a recent
issue of the Holly Chief-
tan, a weekly newspaper.
The text of the story:
"JAPANESE LABORERS AID
GREATLY IN BEET HARVEST
"A number of the farmers
in this locality have ex-
pressed their appreciation
in being able to secure the
assistance of laborers from
the relocation center to
help harvest beets.
"War conditions made it
impossible to harvest beet
crops without help from
this source.
"Some farmers went to
the center each day after
the men, taking them back
each evening, while others
furnished living quarters
on their places, while help
was needed."
Mess Workers
Examined
Mess hall workers are
asked to report to the hos-
pital for physical examina-
tions according to the
schedule sent to each mess
hall, stated Dr. G. A. Duf-
fy, chief medical officer,
today.
All workers must undergo
an examination regardless
of the type of work he is
doing, said Dr. Duffy. This
includes waitresses, dish-
washers, and the regular
kitchen crew.
JUNIOR HIGH
DISPLAYS ART
Christmas cards, paper
lamp shades, and beautifully
designed paper baskets were
displayed by the junior
high school art classes
this week in 8H-12B, Art
Instructor Tom Okamoto
stated today.
Exhibits were also shown
by the homemaking and wood-
craft classes.
SOLICITOR SUGGESTS THAT
EVACUEES KEEP LICENSES
To maintain their pro-
fessional status, evacuees
should pay their annual
fees for professional, vo-
cational, or skilled trade
licenses, suggested Philip
W. Glick, WRA solicitor.
The suggestion is based
upon the belief that it is
desirable for evacuees,
wherever possible, to main-
tain their professional
standing so they can resume
their activities without
undue delay or expense when
they return to their pri-
vate fields.
No definite assurances
can be given that the states
of California, Arizona,
Oregon, and Washington from
which the evacuees were
removed will renew the va-
rious licenses but sum-
maries of licensing laws
will be given interested
parties by Walter J. Knodel,
placement officer.
Nursery Plan
Change Made
Due to the housing short-
age, it is impossible to
establish six center nur-
sery schools as had been
planned, the elementary
school office revealed on
Tuesday.
Consequently, plans are
underway to get along with
five nursery schools with
a redistribution of the
pre-school children to be
made on that basis effec-
tive Monday at 9 a.m.
7K nursery school: 6F,
6G, 6H, 6K, 7F, 7G, 7H,
and 7K pre-school children.
9K nursery school: 8G,
8H, 8K, 9H, 9K, 9L, and
10H pre-school children.
11H nursery school: 11H,
11K, 12G, 12H, and 12K pre-
school children.
11F nursery school: 11E,
11F, 11G, 12E, and 12F pre-
school children.
9E nursery school: 6E,
8F, 7E, 8E, and 9E pre-
school children.
Children living in 10E
and not yet attending nur-
sery school are asked to
enroll with Mrs. Tamura at
the 11F nursery school.

terday for the Christmas

tion, stated this week.
