A MESSAGE….

  To all evacuees in the Granada center I
extend sincere good wishes for this holiday
season on behalf of the War Relocation au-
thority.
  Some of you have been here for four
months or over, many of you have been here
for three months. You are not here because
you wanted to come, or because I wanted you
to come.  But you are here, and now that
you are here I am appreciative of the fact
that we have had a peaceful center, that
differences of opinion have been settled,
that there has been no undesirable publicity.
I have kept myself and staff available to
residents of the center and have tried to
help you with your problems.
  The War Relocation authority is sincere
in its effort to have the center both self-
sustaining and self-governing.  We want
you to go out from the center believing in
a democracy that you have lived under in
the center.   Pass your own laws and enforce
them - we will help you.  Take over the
responsibilities as well as the rights of
a democracy.
  Again a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year, and in the words of Tiny Tim, "May
God Bless You Every One!"
