September 8, 1943_______________PIONEER_____________Page 5 Thumbnail SKETCHES Sixty-five-year-old Roy Eiji Uragami is a character. Unlike the average issei, he d i s likes shibai and Japanese music; instead, appreciates grand operas even though he doesn't un- derstand them. He saw his first talking picture here in this center and tells you that though he lived in Los Angeles for nearly 40 years he never bothered to set foot in a talking-pic- ture theatre. Most of his life has been spent in the United States. One of the earlv pioneers to arrive in this country, Uragami did odd jobs to pay for his schooling. He man- aged to complete his second- ary education and take a pre-medical course at the University of Southern Cali- fornia for two years. Back in Japan, he had attended a navigation school and graduated the Medical Col- lege in Tokyo. For 17 years he served as a laboratory technician at the Los Angeles County hospital. This bespectacled,gray- haired gentleman with the goatee is a rabid football fan,and an ardent support- er of the Trojans of USC. He can recall many of the exciting gridiron battles that he witnessed while following the Trojans up and down the coast. His three sons attended USC. Here at Amache, Uragami is putting his 20 years of experience with Boy Scouts to good use by handling the administrative affairs of the Scouts. An excellent leader,he has won the trust of the parents as well as the boys. Hoping to "uncover" a treat, I asked this un- usual personality what his favorite dish might be and was disappointed when he did not give me an un- usual answer. He said, "good ol’ sashimi." --Sueo Sako ===TRANSFERS=== Mr. and Mrs. George N.

FARMING GOOD IN MIDWEST Myrle White, relocation officer of the Kansas City area which includes Mis- souri, Iowa, Eastern South Dakota, Eastern Nebraska and Kansas, discloses the following facts about farm- ing conditions in this area: Board and room are pro- vided for in most farm jobs. But in those jobs that they are not provided for, the cost of board, and room vary in the different sections of this area. In and around Lawrence, Kans,, board and room can be obtained from $12 to $14 a week. Board and room in towns of about 1,500 in South Dakota cost from $10 to $12 a week. The average cost of board and room in the large cities, such as Des Moines, Omaha and Kan- sas City is $15 a week. There are countless op- portunities for the hired- hand type of jobs. This type of work pays on the average of $75 a month, including board and room, or anywhere from $60 to $100 a month. A variety of jobs are offered, any- thing from field work to feeding and caring of live- stock. Opportunities for year- round family jobs,in which the whole family can re- settle, are steadily increasing. Principal crops in the intensified irrigated areas of Nebraska are potatoes, beans, sugar beets, corn and alfalfa. Corn, soy beans,alfalfa and oats are the principal crops of the sparsely irrigated lands of Iowa. Livestock farms, where feed for the live- stock alone is raised and where livestock is the principal means of income, are very numerous through - out these states. JOBS ARE PLENTIFUL IN PHILADELPHIA In a statement from H. C. Patterson, relocation officer at Philadelphia, Pa., he definitely stated that "...we will find you a position in line with your training." He mentioned that Tom Onomiya from this center is happy in his position as a garage mechanic and quoted Onomiya as saying that he likes the people in Philadelphia and that the living costs are not too high. Domestic and farm work are plentiful, declared Patterson, and added that if you are an experienced farmer, think hard about bringing the whole family to relocate. The Philadel- phia office will guarantee to find a place for the evacuee and his family to live, he said. TOMLINSON WILL ESCORT TULEANS Harlow Tomlinson, chief of internal security, left for the Tule Lake center Sunday night to escort the Tuleans coming to this cen- ter. They will arrive here on the 16th.
