G R HARVEST CAMP
GIRLS AID WAR EFFORT
"The people are friend-
ly, and the farmers wanted
us to stay longer," said
Ruby Watanabe, who returned
from the YWCA harvest camp
at Vineland, Colo., Wednes-
day. "The camp organized
to aid in the war effort,
helped to further relations
between the evacuees and
the people on the outside,"
continued Miss Watanabe.
"It helped to break down
the hesitancy of the girls
and created a better mutual
understanding," she con-
cluded . Miss Watanabe is
the arts and crafts coun-
selor.
In all, 37 GR's worked
at the camp. Nineteen were
Caucasians, 15 Japanese,
and three Negroes. The
girls lived dormitory-fash-
ion in the Vineland school
gymnasium.
Said Toshiko Tahara and
Evelyn Miyashima: "We
cleared our expenses and we
had lots of fun, made
friends and found out about
farm work. We had no trou-
ble at all and the people
are nice."
During their two-week's
stay, the girls picked
beans, bunched carrots,
and topped beets and onions .
Evenings were spent in en-
tertainment, such as a Gyp-
sy picnic, swimming in
Pueblo, talent shows, and
a weinie bake.
Commenting on the work
camp, the Pueblo Chieftan
said: "Farmers are enthu-
siastic about the plan and
the girls are happy over
the arrangement, because
it gives them an extended
outing, camp associations
and fun, while at the same
time haying a definite
worthy war purpose." Three
pictures, showing the girls
going to work, their living
quarters, and at work, were
also carried.
