PRECAUTIONARY ORDERS
ISSUED   BY   DIRECTOR
TO AMACHE RESIDENTS:
   In order that all possible precautions may be taken
against poliomyelitis, commonly called infantile paraly -
sis, it has been decided that the following emergency
regulations  be   put   into effect  beginning  today:
    (1) No stopping passes will be issued to anyone
to leave the project.   This includes adults as well as
children. 
   (2) No permits for short-term leave to visit out-
side  the   project will be   given.
   (3) No public meetings of any kind,except schools,
will be permitted. This means that movies, church and
Sunday school services, club gatherings or any other
meetings cannot be held anywhere within the center un-
til further notice. The schools, including adult edu-
cation classes, will continue at least for the time
being.
   These measures are being taken at this time with
the full support of our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. W.
T.Carstarphen,because two cases of infantile paralysis
are now in the center hospital in isolation.   Both
eases are known to have been visiting on the outside
and we have good reason to believe that contact was
made while visiting. Dr. Carstarphen states that sta-
tistics     show    that    after   cold weather   or  heavy  frost
comes,   the   disease  declines   very  rapidly.
   As     Project  Director,     I  am calling  upon all Amache
residents to cooperate in our program of prevention.
The inconveniences such a program will cause are in-
significant when considered in the light of the neces-
sity to do everything possible to prevent any spread
of  poliomyelitis   in this   center.

REC  HALLS  TO
HOUSE  TULEANS
   The second contingent
Of 460 from the Tule Lake
Center is scheduled to ar-
rive here Thursday morning.
   In order to house the
second group of evacuees
from the Tule Lake center,
it is necessary to make
temporary living quarters
available in 14 recreation
halls, Project Director
James G. Lindley announced
yesterday.
   Lindley said, "Although
splendid cooperation has
been shown by Amache resi-
dents in our present hous-
ing crisis, we have found
it necessary to use rec-
reation halls to take care
of 97 people. We had hoped
that this would not be
necessary but we must take
care of the incoming resi-
dents, and all other living
