Granada PIONEER
Vol. I, No. 97______________________Amache, Colorado________________September 4, 1943
REGISTRATION URGED
All male residents who
have reached their 18th
birthdays are urged to
register immediately with
Lewis W. Fanslan, regis-
trar, at the employment
office. Those who have
not yet turned 18 are
asked to register on the
date they reach that age.
RESIDENTS TO BE
‘FROZEN' TOMORROW
In order to obtain an
accurate census of the cen-
ter, all movements will be
frozen and residents will
be requested to remain in
their apartments immediate-
ly after breakfast tomor-
row. Members of the ap-
pointed personnel have been
assigned to the various
blocks and will make an
apartment -to - apar tme nt
check, beginning at 8 a.m.
Explains Registrar Lew-
is Fanslan, "An accurate
count is absolutely imper-
ative if the full quota of
food is to be available for
every resident, since the
center is on a point-ration
basis."
The survey is expected
to be completed by 9:30 a.
m., but no resident will be
permitted outside his apart-
ment from 8 a.m. until the
fire siren blows. Only
police officers and fire-
men who are assigned to work
by their respective super-
visors are excepted.
Center residents are
asked to be ready with in-
formation regarding all per-
sons who live in the apart-
ment and any persons who
are out on short-term leave.
Visitors who stay in the
apartment are also re-
quested to remain indoors
and be counted. Persons
out on indefinite or sea-
sonal leaves will not be
listed.
CLOSE COMPETITION
EXPECTED AT FAIR
Keen competition among
the many farm supervisors
will result in excellent
displays at the Amache Ag-
ricultural fair, September
11 and 12, according to
Yoshisada Yamanaka, Fair
manager. In addition, con-
siderable interest is be-
ing shown by victory-garden
growers throughout the cen-
ter.
The importance of the
Amache fair is stressed by
Roy Nakatani, member of the
publicity committee, who
points out that much stress
has been laid on self-
sufficiency of the popula-
tion here and that the fair
offers an opportunity for

MORE ROOM NEEDED
FOR TULEANS-EAKLOR
E. B. Eaklor, housing
superintendent, announces
that a sufficient number
of rooms has not been va-
cated to date to accommodate
the incoming Tuleans.
Out of the 280 rooms
needed for the Tuleans,
approximately 200 have been
furnished, according to
Eaklor. These 200 rooms
include those which are now
being occupied by residents
scheduled to leave for the
segregation camp.
Stated Eaklor, "The ma-
jority of the center resi-
dents have been most co-
operative in moving about
and crowding up. About 90
per cent of those requested
to move have done so. But
there is still a small per-
centage of people who, for
some particular reason or
other which they refuse to
give, insist upon occupying
rooms by themselves.
"We are asking these
people to reconsider and
cooperate with us. We are
trying to avoid putting
separate families together.
But we are especially ask-
ing the bachelors to help
us by moving together," con-
cluded Eaklor.
KIBEI
CLEARANCE CHANGE MADE
A teletype from Dillon
S. Myer was received by Pro-
ject Director James G. Lind-
ley Thursday correcting the
original order restricting
leave clearance for male
kibei citizens to read as
follows:
"Project directors are
not authorized to grant
indefinite leave in advance
of leave clearance to United
States citizens who have
returned from Japan to the
United States since Jan.
1, 1935, if they have lived
in Japan for ten years or
more after the age of six,
or if they have received
all or most of their for-
mal education in Japan, if
they had formal education
in Japan after the age of
15."
The change means that
only kibei who have returned
to the United States since
1935 will be affected by
the order restricting leave
clearances.
Persons falling in the
above categories wishing to
obtain indefinite or sea-
sonal leaves should contact
Lewis Fanslan, assistant
placement officer, who will
then send to Washington
for the individual's docket.
The leave clearance hear-
ings will be held in the
center when the docket is
returned from Washington.
