CENTER TO SEE MOVING PICTURES
POST OFFICE PERSONNEL
SWAMPED BY LETTERS
  Christmas means a lot of
last minute shopping and
mailing.   This year was no
exception for the center
postoffice which had a hec-
tic week of handling thou-.
sands of letters and pack-
ages marked with yule greet-
ings.
  On Monday alone, 10,000
letters arrived in place
of the usual 2000, and the
story is the same of out-
going letters.  Packages
added up to 850, 700 over
normal.
  A Santa Claus was dis-
covered in Postmaster Sam
Kurihara, who noticed A
number of letters arriving
with insufficient postage
and covered the deficiency
with his own stamps.
  The staff has worked
overtime the last few days
and plans to work on Christ-
mas day to expedite deli-
veries on time.
EIGHT   TONS
COLLECTED
  Eight tons of scrap me-
tal for the war effort were
gathered on the XY ranch by
35 project residents, under
the direction of John R.
Justice, Henry Schimitz,
and Ralph Trigges of the farm
bureau last week.
  Additional scrap metal
picked up on the Koen ranch
as well as on the center
proper should surpass the
quota for Prowers county.
This will be in keeping
with the consistent quota-
busting records of the
evacuees,  the farm bureau
said, in commending the
workers.
FAMILIES MAY JOIN INTERNEES
  For the information of
those in the Granada center
who are relatives of in-
ternees, the following let-
ter from Edward J. Ennis,
director of the Alien Enemy
Control Unit of the Depart-
ment of Justice, has been
received by Project Director
James G. Lindley:
To Internees and Members
of their Families:
  I wish to advise intern-
ees and members of their
families that this depart-
ment is desirous of uniting
family groups in all worthy
cases.
FAMILY REUNIONS
  In situations where the
husband and wife are both
aliens of enemy nationali-
ties and have both been in-
terned, this department
can arrange for their Joint
transfer to a camp under
the jurisdiction of the
Immigration and Naturali-
zation Service.   It is pro-
posed to establish addi-
tional accommodations at
this camp for the care of
family groups of present
internees.   Wives or hus-
bands and minor children
can file applications di-
rectly with this office for
permission to join the in-
ternee in a family camp when
those accommodations are
available.   This procedure
is open to all persons ir-
respective of whether they
are aliens or American
citizens.
NO PROVISIONS IN CENTERS
  In centers under the
WRA no provision has been
made for the custody of
persons interned under a
final order of the attorney
general.   Consequently in-
ternees may not be admitted
to relocation centers, even
in cases where their close
relatives are there.   How-
ever, the wives and children
may likewise apply to this
office for admission to
our family camps.
RELIEF FOR DEPENDENTS
  A special appropriation
has been provided for the
relief of needy wives,
children and other depen-
dents of internees, whose
straitened financial con-
dition or loss of support
results from the intern-
ment.   Application for this
relief may be made to the
United States attorney in
the district where the de-
pendents reside.   On request
this office will furnish
the name and address of this
United States Attorney.
