BETWEEN  US  GIRLS
     BY  (illegible)
   we have figured out that
one of the most important,
if not the most important,
reasons for the large turn-
out at the ondo practices
(to those who don't know
what an ondo practice is,
all we have to say is:
"Well, that is certainly
too bad!") is the shaved
ice that's passed out to
all the participants in
the course of the evening's
activities.
   and with the increase
of those unemployed (as a
result of the recent offi-
cial canning of more thait
500 center workers) has
come an increase of people,
especially guys, who lack
money for such luxuries as
shaved ice and colored wa-
ter .
   therefore, at one of
the practices held several
nights ago, we found, among
the spectators, quite a few
boys who were trying to get
up enough courage to trot
in the circle and start
earning their cup of shaved
ice.
   then there was tomo who
has a little more pride
than the rest, who was de-
termined to get his ice
without having to jerk
around the circle with the
little gals.    he stood
there, straining his brains
for a quarter hour.
   he finally figured out
what he was going to do for
his   shaved  ice.
   he patiently waited un-
til they started passing
out the ice, at which time
he trotted over to the ice
shaver and tried to look
like he was working like
heck, and in the course
of this messing around, he
managed to get his hands on
a couple cups full of  ice.
and in the confusion (there
always is confusion when
there is shaved ice and lots
of people), he was confi-
dently but slyly toddling
toward the laundry room and
relative safety, when sev-
eral definitely feminine
voices purred out to him:
"hellooooo, tomoooooo..."
like a smart man, tomo ig-
nored  them,   pretending not
to hear, when one of the
more aggressive gals dashed
up to him and sweetly said
to his now very sad face:
"geeeeee, tomoooo, is that
ice all for meeeee?..."
with a very sick smile, tomo,
who is always a gentleman,
replied: "sure. . .heh,
heh", and, after reluc-
tantly handing over the
hard-earned two cups of ice
he went dashing, back to the
ice shaver, and the last
we saw of him, he was again
trying to look busy as heck
while trying harder to get
his hands on another cup-
ful or two of the precious
shaved ice . . .

ing from the project, was
found and arrested last
week near Alturas, Calif.,
by the sheriff of Modoc
county, according to the
Tulean Dispatch Daily.
   Nishida is facing charges
of leaving the center with-
out permission, stealing a
car, and burglarizing a
home west of Alturas. He
is now awaiting trial at
the Modoc county jail.
   This was the first case
of its kind reported in
the Tule Lake center.
Issei Settles
In Cincinnati
   Pointing out that the
issei could make a go of
it on the outside, a recent
press release from the
Washington Reports office,
stated Sam Tamura, issei,
and his family from Jerome,
formerly of Sacramento,
Calif,, was "making good”
in Cincinnati.
   Tamura is working as-
house-man and gardener at
the home of an insurance
broker in  the suburbs
of Cincinnati.   His wife
works in the home of their
employer, with whom they
live.    They have three
sons, nine, 18, and 19.
   According to the release,
Tamura is among the first
of the issei group to re-
locate.   He likes his job,
his employer, and finds
that Cincinnati compares
favorably to California in
many ways.   He hopes  to
buy a little farm  of his
own.
