Vol. I, No. 51 Amache, Colorado March 27, 1943
SCHOOL BQARD
APPOINTED
An advisory school board,
whose function will be to
formulate the general edu-
cational policies in the
center, has been appointed
by Project Director James
G. Lindley.
Members are Dr. George
Nagamoto, Mrs. Hama Yama-
saki, Dr. Takashi Terami,
Masa Nakano, and Mrs. Alyce
Ohama.
Social Security
May Be Had
Through the cooperation
of the Pueblo office of the
United States Bureau of
Social Security, it is now
possible for indefinite-
leave applicants to secure
social security account
numbers before leaving the
center, according to Leave
Officer Willis Hanson.
Residents may apply at his
office at any time.
It is suggested that ev-
ery evacuee who contemplates
securing employment in an
industry covered by social
security benefits should
make advance application
for his account number, as
he cannot begin work on
such a job without his
number.
Said Hanson, "In secur-
ing an account number at
the relocation center, the
evacuee who is going into
a new job will save him-
self considerable incon-
venience."
