No  Need  For  Alarm
   Tad Uyeno, writer of the Lancer's column in the Pa-
cific Citizen, whose impressions of Chicago was recent-
ly carried in the PIONEER, writes as an aftermath of
the  Marengo  affair:
   "The incident at Marengo is only a minor problem
confronting the Americans of Japanese descent.   There
is no need to become alarmed.   Flare-ups are bound to
pop up from time to time.    In spite of these adverse-
ties, the nisei must courageously face realities.   We
are at war, and people are going to be swayed emotion-
ally, regardless of facts.  When this war comes to an
end, the majority of Americans of Japanese ancestry
must not be caught in the relocation centers.   They
must make readjustments, relocate themselves to new
communities,  and be prepared to meet the difficulties
of the   post-war   period,   which  are  bound  to  come."
WORKERS  MAY APPLY
FOR EMERGENCY AID
   Sugar  beet  workers and
others who are unable to
pay for essential medical
care or who need other e-
mergency assistance should
go to the nearest local wel-
fare bureau, John J. 0.
Moore, public welfare coun-
selor said .
   Aid  to evacuees is ad-
ministered  by  the  local
welfare boards under an ar-
rangement between the Social 
Security board and WRA.
   Since the agreement with
the Social Security board
is definitely applicable
to persons on leave from
WRA centers, it is assumed
that it is not necessary
for an evacuee to establish
the usual legal residence
in a community to receive
public welfare assistance.
   Evacuees who are not
certain where to apply may
contact the local consular
agencies or WRA field of-
fice or, if in Colorado,
apply to the county public
welfare office which is u-
sually located at the coun-
ty court house.
