OPA PRICE CEILING
EXPLANATION MADE
   According to Russel T.
Robinson, chief of the San
Francisco Evacuee  Property
office,  the OPA price ceil-
ing of 55 per cent of the
new price is for farm ma-
chinery and trucks only at
presert;  but price control
probably will be extended
to automobiles in a short
time.
APPRENTICE
TRAINING OPEN
   Opportunities for appren-
ticeship training in a
completely equipped auto
repair shop and in a car-
pentry shop have been o-
pened for 10 men or 10 out-
of-school boys, according
to the adult education of-
fice.
   Applicants for the ma-
chine shop apprenticeship
will be taught  auto mechan-
ics, and the carpentry
trainees will receive in-
struction in the use of
hand  and power tools.
   Interested persons are
asked to apply at the adult
education office for fur-
ther   information.
VOLUNTEERS  TO
GET  NOTICE  SOON
   All Amache volunteers
who have not yet received
notices to report for in-
duction should be notified
within the next two weeks,
according to a wire from
WRA Director Dillon S.
Myer to Project Director
James G. Lindley.
FEDERATION
Women To Meet
   Dr. Enoch Dumas, elemen-
tary school principal, will
speak at the meeting to-
morrow at 10 a.m. of the
Women's federation council
at Hospitality House.   Moth-
ers of volunteers and sol-
diers in the US Army are
especially urged to attend
as the group plans a Blue
Star Mothers’ organization.
HATS OFF TO…
   A polite bow and a
bouquet of our finest
orchids to the Lamar Post,
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
   Every time a contin-
gent of Amache volunteers
leaves for induction into
the US Army from Lamer
(usually in the wee small
hours of the a.m.), a
group of VFW representa-
tives gathers at the sta -
tion to bid them well and
wave  them off.     But  that
isn’t all…they distrib-
cigarettes and  VFW
membership     cards  to  the
boys as well.
   And so we say “Thank
You!”
EQUIPMENT
TO ARRIVE
   W. B. Wroth, chief ir-
rigation engineer, announces
that approval has been re-
ceived from Washington for
the pumping of water for
irrigation purposes in this
center.   However,  said
Wroth, the Washington okeh
provided only for the use
of second-hand equipment,
which is expected to ar-
rive within two weeks .
   Two wells have already
been completed, and a third
will be dug soon.   It will
probably be some five or
six weeks before the motor
pumps can be put into op-
eration, he said.
YWCA  GIRLS
Attend  summer  camp
    All Girl Reserves and
Y's Circle girls under 18
who wish to attend a coop-
tive summer harvest camp
at Vineyard, Colo., from
June 10 to 24 are asked to
sign up at Hospitality
House by Saturday.   Paul
Terry, superintendent  of
education, and a committee
of high school instructors
will approve the scholastic
records of the applicants,
and the girls will leave
before school closes.
   The harvest camp will
accomodate 50 girls,  25
of whom will be from Amache.
The YWCA, the   sponsoring
group, will make it an in-
ter-racial camp for girls
from Pueblo and the Arkan-
sas river valley region.
   Project Director James
G.   Lindley commented that
he  is "interested in this
combination work project
and  summer camp under the
YWCA sponsorship,"  and
feels that  "it is one of
the  best  means to combat
prejudice and also to min-
gle with outsiders.   I hope
that  the  girls will take
advantage of this and that
all  parents  will realize
the  opportunities to con-
tact those on the outside."
