risen from 50 to 75 per
cent, stated Registrar Lew-
is W. Fanslan today.

Wednesday in the 12G recre-

GILA, POSTON ARE OUT
OF RESTRICTED AREA
   Poston and Gila relocation centers were removed from
the restricted zone at midnight yesterday.
   The move, decided by the Secretary of War and an-
nounced by the western Defense command, shifted tne
exclusion line in Arizona approximately 60 miles south.
All of Pinal and most of
Maricopa and Yuma counties
as well as Poston and Gila
were freed by the order.
   The 215 persons evacuated
from this area will be al-
lowed to return to their
homes immediately.
   Hereafter, evacuees vis-
iting Poston and Gila will
not need military escorts
unless they pass through
restricted areas enroute.
   This is "still another
step taken toward re-estab-
lishing normal life to per-
sons of Japanese ancestry
evacuated from the West
coast," said Dillon S.
Myer, WRA director.
DRIVE RESPONSE
IS   ENCOURAGING
   First groups among the
administrative and evacuee
personnel to report a 100
per cent  response to the
Red Cross drive were Mark
Radcliffe’s team, PIONEER
and documentation staffs.
    Radcliffe*s team con-
tributed $5 per person.
Welcome Public
To  Festival
   For those visiting the
center for the first time,
we extend a cordial welcome,
said Paul J, Terry, super-
intendent of education.
   "The material in the Art
and Grafts exhibit is but
a sample of the quality of
work which those people are
capable of producing.
   "It is an excellent il-
lustration of creative use
of leisure time and the con-
tribution that Americans of
Japanese ancestry make to
American culture.
   "We hope you visitors
will feel free to come back
at any time.
  "Hearty congratulations
to all of you who partici-
pated' in this exhibit."

kuchi and Mark Luca add
their welcome to the vis-
itors.
