Page 2________PIONEER________July 24, 1943 ______G R A N A D A P I O N E E R_______________ Published Wednesdays and Saturdays by the WRA and distributed free to each apartment. Editorial of- fice: PIONEER building, Amache, Colorado. Telephone: 63. Editor: Khan Komai. Letter TO THE EDITOR TO THE EDITOR: The Midsummer Carnival came and went. Prizes for this and that were awarded last Friday. These were done quite favorably. But there was one booth that was overlooked. The booth that was one of the busiest--did the most for the welfare of the people - and got the least credit for it. The booth we refer to is the one that was operat- ed by the Silk Screen proj- ect. Printing those fans, souvenirs, and designs on those shirts (free!) is no pushover. We feel that they should have at least (since I hear that they were not in the competition) deserved an honorable mention of some sort. This neglect on the part of the Recreation associa- tion (Ed note-carnival committee) makes us feel that it is only the money- making they are concerned about and not the welfare of the people at large. What do vou think? ---EDDIE MIURA ===Lost & found=== LOST: Los Angeles high school star and crescent pin near 7K. Finder please return to 12H information office or PIONEER building.

FARM FAMILY UNITS PLANNED At a recent Washington conference of relocation supervisors, plans were made for the relocation of farm family units. It was decided that the Chicago WRA and its sub-offices would try to find 10 typi- cal American towns between 1,000 and 10,000 popula- tion and find relocation possibilities for about six families in each town. "It would seem to me desirable that for each community, we find five or six families who are re- lated by blood or who had been former neighbors prior to evacuation or who by association desire to re- main somewhat as a unit," declared Elmer C.Shirrell, WRA relocation supervisor. If interested parties will leave their names with Mario Vecchio, placement officer, he will contact them when representatives arrive to take applications. ===VISITING SOLDIERS=== Pfc James I. Hoshi, Camp Wolters, Tex.; Pfc William M. Takei, Fort Warren, Wyo. SNAKES GIVE NO WARNING IN AUGUST During the month of Au- gust often called ‘dog days', the rattle snake does not give the familiar warning before striking, cautioned the center snake exterminator, Frank Mukai- da. Center residents are asked to take precautions, and children are especially warned not to play in the brush. TOWN HALL TALK During his recent visit to the center, William Hoffman, fire protection a.viser of the Washington WRA office, expressed alarm over the growing shortage of water. The decrease of water increases the danger from fire. In some of the up- per blocks of the center, lack of sufficient pressure necessitates the turning off of water at increasing- ly frequent intervals. If a fire should break out at such a time, a mere trickle of water would hard- ly prove sufficient to con- trol the fire before severe damage occurs. Results of a survey con- ducted one evening by Will- iam Wroth, conservation engineer, showed that 12 of the lower blocks had watered or were watering the ground to keep down the dust. In face of the increased danger needless use of water exposes to the upper blocks in case of a fire, a little more consideration should be shown by the residents of the lower blocks. * * * * Segregation will bring a problem of making room for an influx of a thousand or more evacuees into the center. This is a problem for every block and for all the residents. And although the move- ment will not begin,for another month,arrangements for doubling up or moving into a smaller unit should be made by evacuees who now occupy larger units than they are entitled to. It will be far better to do this voluntarily, or at least make plans and preparations in the inter- vening period, rather than be confronted with the need to make hasty moves once the segregation movement starts. --K.K.
