Co-op Control

   An agreement transfer-
ring all assets and liabil-
ities of Amache Consumer
Enterprises into the hands
of the evacuees was recent-
ly signed by the WRA and
the co-op.   This move means
that the evacuees, rather

trol of  the co-op stores

NEW INSTRUCTIONS
ISSEI  GIVEN  RIGHT  TO
HOLD  ELECTIVE  OFFICES
   The right to hold elective offices hitherto restrict-
ed to the nisei was conferred upon the issei by an ad-
ministrative   instruction from the Washington WRA office.
   The instruction states, "All persons who are 21
years of age or over, whether citizens or aliens, shall
be eligible   to hold  elective   offices."
  This revision of former
instructions was necessi-
tated by the fact that a
great many citizens have
left and are continuing,
to leave for outside em-
ployment.
   A charter amendment of
Article I I, Section 2, will
be necessary before the
order can become effective.
The date for  the  special
election has not been set
according to Shig Hashii,
chairman of the  Council.
FRIENDS ‘DROP’
ON   POLICE CHIEF
   A crimson, two-passenger
monoplane swooped low over
the center Monday morning,
dipped its wing, cuts its
motor and glided to a stop
on the flat, sandy stretch
at the west end  of camp.
   Residents, sensing that
"something was wrong," 
rushed to the point of land-
ing, learned that Mr. and
Mrs. Dick Darling of Piatt,
Kan., had "dropped in" for
a visit with Police Chief
Harlow M. Tomlinson, on
their way to Colorado
Springs.
