280  UNITS  MUST  BE  
OPEN  FOR  TULEANS
   “Speaking generally, at
least 280 units should be
open for the incoming thou-
sand Tuleans," announces
Housing Superintendent E»
B. Eaklor.
   "In order to acquire
this many vacant units,
Eaklor continues,"an aver-
age of ten units per block 
should be opened.   If rooms 
for an average of 250 per- 
sons per block could be at- 
lem would be solved.
   “Although it is diffi-
cult to say definitely 
that there should be such
and such a number in this
or that unit, in general,
the following rules will
apply to bachelors:  Not 
less than three bachelors
should occupy unit A or F;
units C and D should hold
four bachelors each; and
at least five bachelors
will be expected to occupy
unit E or B.
   "Only during this emer-
gency, the following gen-
eral rules will hold for
family compositions:   A
couple or a couple with a
small baby are to occupy
either unit A or F; unit
C or D is to hold a family
of from three to four; and
at least a family of four
or five people should oc-
cupy either E or B.
   "The housing situation
will be relieved somewhat
with the outgoing of seg-
regees to Tule Lake.   And,
too, the number of reloca-
ting evacuees is steadily
increasing,which will  also
help the problem somewhat.
   "All moves are expected
to be completed by Sept.
10.   Most of the residents
who are to move will be
notified by the end of this
week,and the actual moving
will begin to take place
the first of  next   week,"
concluded Eaklor.

                    SKETCHES
   Teresa Pirrone, medical
social worker at the center
hospital, learned to write
her name in Japanese after
her arrival here on June 19.
Now, after witnessing the
bon odori practices she has
the desire to learn the
dance.
   It was in 1931 that Tere-
sa embarked for the United
States from her homeland,
Sicily, one of the battle
grounds of the present-day
struggle.   She had come to
study,and as her father was
here already, Teresa found
it very simple to make new
acquaintances.
   As a newcomer to America,
the most embarrassing mo-
ments she encountered oc-
curred when she rode on
street cars.   It always
happened that she would get
on a street car headed in
the opposite direction.
   Teresa assures us that she
has since ironed out the
difficulty.
   Not understanding English,
she attended a school for
foreigners in Cleveland,
Ohio.   There she mixed and
associated with Japanese,
Chinese,Italians, and many
other nationalities.
   In 1939,she received her
BA in social science at
Cleveland college, and a
year later earned her MA
in the same subject at West-
ern Reserve university in
Cleveland.   S ince then,
prior to her arrival here,
she was employed at Lake-
side hospital as a medical
social worker.
   Her duties at Amache are
to work hand-in-hand with
the doctors in analyzing
treatment for patients from
the social angle.
   When her day's work is
done, she is usually seen
bicycling out to the Koen
ranch to go h o r s e b ack
riding.       --Sueo Sako

ford, Ill.,will be in this
center for labor recruit-

   When the announcement came to our attention that
the WAC had opened enlistment opportunities for nisei
women, I was quite gratified.    I feel it is another
important step in the right direction in our program
of reestablishment of people of Japanese ancestry in
the normal way of life.
   I strongly urge every nisei woman to attend and
hear the program, the WAC is presenting in Terry hall
Tuesday morning.
