RELOCATION
PAMPHLETS TO BE
DlSTRIBUTED
   To clarify WRA aims and
procedures in the minds of
the evacuated people, the
WRA head quarters in Washing-
ton will distribute pam-
phlets  entitled,"The Relo-
cation Program" to each
apartment in every reloca-
tion center. A translation
in Japanese accompanies each
pamphlet.
   Distribution of these
booklets will be made as
soon as they arrive. They
explain in detail the two
fundamental WRA objectives:
(1) to help as many of the
evacuees as possible in
effecting a personal re-
location outside of the
evacuated area; and (2) to
make the relocation centers
as livable and productive
as wartime conditions will
permit for those evacuees
who are unable to effect a
personal relocation while
the war is going on.
1944  FISCAL  YEAR
APPROPRIATION  OKEHED
   Appropriations for the
Granada project has been
received for the fiscal
year of 1944, following
the ratification of the Ap-
propriation Bill by Congress
and the President, accord-
ing to T. Read Hanson,
principal fiscal accountant.
   Although the project's
appropriation has been cut
considerably, grants will
be given to relocating
evacuees   as  before.     Relo-
cation-grant checks, how-
ever,will be mailed to the
relocating evacuees' re-
spective destinations.   In-
stead of cash, government
orders,   providing for the
train ticket and general
travel expenses, will be
granted to relocating evac-
uees.
   Because of the cut in
appropriations, center ac-
tivities will be greatly
reduced.
Must  Use  Water  Sparingly
   Lawns and trees in the
administrative and hospi-
tal areas will be irrigated
only every other night in
order to conserve water,
announces William B.Wroth,
c o n se r vat ion engineer.
New grass south of the hos-
pital must have water each
night, but all other irri-
gations will be reduced.
   “The  water-supply situa-
tion is still serious, but
as yet not critical,"
Wroth says.   “Wa t e r mu s t
be used sparingly for gar-
dens and trees, and should
not be used to settle dust.
Irrigation should be done
in the late evening to re-
duce loss by evaporation."
   Wroth warns that con-
tinued wastage of water in
the blocks may make fur-
ther restrictions necessary.
CAMP  SAVAGE
TO  RECRUIT  VOLUNTEERS
   Col. Kai Rasmassen and
Lt. Col. Karl T. Gould,
cavalry, director of per-
sonnel, will arrive here
Aug. 4 to recruit men for
Camp Savage. Rasmassen
and Gould are personally
visiting all the relocation
centers to interview all
volunteers individually.
   Any male who can under-
stand the Japanese lan-
guage may qualify for the
Camp Savage language school.
A thorough knowledge of
Japanese is not necessarily
required. 
   The main objective of
this language school is to
prepare men to be skilled
language specialists.   The
students here, differing
from ordinary enlisted men
in other branches of serv-
ice and performing special
duties requiring technical
skill, will be promoted
faster than in any other
branch.
   Because of the excellent
results,  the Camp Savage
language school is being
expanded to offer more op-
portunities to those Japa-
nese Americans desiring to
enlist.
    All those wishing to
apply for the military in-
telligence service language
school are asked to report
to the employment office,
