   Letters  TO  THE   EDITOR
TO  THE EDITOR:
   In the Saturday ( Aug.
14) issue of the PIONEER,
there was an article con-
cerning a missing cornet
from the high school in-
strumental room. To date,
there has been no response
from the general public.
For the sake of common de-
cency, I would like to make
an appeal to the residents
of Amache to help locate
this cornet. The, descript-
tion given by the music
department of the missing
instrument is: A Conn Vic-
tor cornet, number 141207,
silver plated, gold bell.
   No doubt, such an in-
strument will inevitably
be found, but shall we try
to help return it to the
music department before a
scandalous affair is made
of such a situation?

WACS   ARE   GIVEN
SPECIAL  TRAINING
---continued from page 1--	
each woman is qualified to
do. After the basic train-
ing is completed, the en-
listee enrolls in a spe-
cialized school which lasts
from six to eight weeks,
while some technical courses
like radio training takes 12
weeks. All WAC enlistees
need not go to a specialized
school, but may go into a
particular job in which they
are interested. If a girl
becomes dissatisfied with
the particular job in which
she is occupied,she may re-   
quest a change.
   The salary and ratings
of the WAC enlistees are
the same as the Army's.
   Lieutenant Davies and
2nd Lt. Thelma Thompson will
be stationed in Police Chief
Harlow Tomlinson's office
in the south administration
building daily to Saturday
noon, and will be available
to anyone wishing further 
information about the WAC.
   The  Blue  Star Mothers
are holding a luncheon for
the two officers Saturday.
WARNS   AGAINST
POLIOMYELITIS
 ---continued from page 1---
   "At present there is no
effective treatment for this
disease nor is there a real
solution how this disease
is actually carried. The
U.S. Public Health Service
considers it wise to pre-
vent needless human con-
tacts; that is, as in
schools, movies, boys' or
girls' camps, and other
large gatherings.
   "This contagious disease
occurs in the summer and
early fall months and
reaches its peak within the
next three or four weeks.
Attention to all general
sanitary measures and clean-
liness should be exercised
during this period as well
as observing the precau-
tions given above.
   "Amache has thus far been
fortunate in not having a
case to this date."
SCHOOL TO EXCUSE
STUDENTS  OUT ON
SEASONAL   WORK
   School students on sea-
sonal leaves for farm work
will be given excused ab-
sences from project school
attendance, according to
word received here yesterday
from WRA Director Dillon S.
Myer.
   The complete statement:
   "Many employers are con-
cerned because evacuee
school children who have
not completed their seasonal
contracts are preparing to
return to centers at the
opening of school.  Some
evacuees who wish to re-
main understand they must
return for school opening.
We suggest,therefore, that
you announce…that school
children on seasonal leaves
for farm work will be given
excused, absences from pro-
ject school attendance
when local school children
are also being excused for
similar work."
