Granada P I O N E E R
Vol. I, No. 25 Amache, Colorado January 16, 1943
Beet Farmers
Cooperative
A great majority of the
beet farmers employed e-
vacuee labor has been very
cooperative and made every
effort to live up to the
original agreements, said
Placement Officer Walter J.
Knodel.
A relatively small per-
centage of the farmers have
been hard to deal with but
they are being identified,
continued Knodel. Future
offers accepted from them
will have a more definite
agreement as to the rela-
tive time and the amount
the men will be paid.
As a whole, the place-
ment office has been quite
successful in adjusting the
claims for the men through
personal contacts and writ-
ings, and through the influ-
ence of the sugar companies,
said Knodel.
Local Faculty
Entertains
More than 60 Lamar teach-
ers and their wives and
husbands were guests of the
Amache Teachers association,
Thursday.
The guests were taken
on a sight-seeing tour of
the Amache schools, and the
work accomplished by the
center students drew fa-
vorable comments..
Dinner was served to the
people at the administra-
tion mess hall. During the
dinner, Brush Arai and his
Kanaka boys entertained the
guests with Hawaiian music.
The day's program was
concluded with the present-
ation of a talent show,
featuring 14 numbers, at
Terry hall. Paul J. Terry,
superintendent of education,.
acted as master of ceremonies.
Much of the success of
the affair is credited to
Grace Lewis, president of
the Amache Teachers associ-
ation.
MILITARY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
The Senate’s Military
Affairs committee in Wash-
ington , has recommended
that jurisdiction of WRA
centers be turned over to
the Army, it was reported
by the Lamar Daily News
yesterday.
WASHINGT0N--Reports that
scarce foodstuffs are made
available in plenty to WRA
center residents, while
surrounding areas are sub-
ject to strict rationing,
have started demands for a
congressional investiga-
tion of the relocation pro-
gram, stated a United Press
dispatch this week.
Leroy Johnson of Cali-
fornia introduced a reso-
lution to the House of Rep-
resentatives calling for
an investigation of re-
ports alleging ''elaborate
systems of food and educa-
tion" in WRA centers.
"We are told that teach-
ers in these camps receive
higher pay than teachers
in state public schools,"
he said, "and that exten-
sive training in such none-
essentials as art, dancing,
and rug-making are being
offered to the confined
Japs."
Johnson added his re-
solution would also provide
for investigation of al-
leged immoral conditions
and of activities of dis-
loyal elements.
Said Harry Sheppard,
California representative,
who personally investigated
three WRA centers, "I think
these reports are baseless
rumors and I cannot go a-
long with them on the in-
vestigation."
