VOLUNTEERS  AID
IN  HARVESTING    
  Kay Matsuhiro of the
Farm section reports that
with the help of the block
volunteers onions, tomatoes,
garlic, squash, and red
radish are being harvested
now.
   “It is hoped that we
can get the harvesting done
before the heavy frost sets
in,”  says Matsuhiro.  “The work will
continue for an-
other three weeks,” he
added.
  The quota of volunteers 
from each block has been
reduced from seven to three.
T/4  JOHN  SAKAI
WRITES   FROM  AUSTRALIA
  It’s spring “down under,”
according to a letter re-
cently received by Herbert
K. Walther, secondry school
Principal, from a former
Amache teach, T/4 John
Sakai, now stationed “some-
where in Australia.”
shortages,
   Excerpts from his letter
Follow:
   “It is already three
full months since touched
the land ‘down under.’  The
climate here being just 
the opposite of the United
States, we are enjoying 
our first signs of spring
(and summer).  Up until
recently we have had little 
rain, but now I think we are 
having entirely too
much rain.  The further de-
pressing news is that it 
rains here practically
every day in summer.  I had
been wondering why the
houses were built on high,
wooden foundations…but
now I know.
   “All in all, there are 
not many differences…”

	SKETCHES
   A few days ago, my
arm division friend, Kay
Matsuhiro phoned and asked
me if I could ride out to
the farm.  Kay said he want-
ed me to meet a couple of
men who had contributed more
than their share in sweat
and labor so that our stom-
achs might not go empty.
   Arriving there I was in-
troduced to Keichiro Daikai,
supervisor of the root veg-
etables.
   This lean, weather-beaten
farmer from Yolo county,
Calif., and his seven help-
ers, I understood, were
responsible for providing
our mess tables with beets,
Swiss chard, turnips car-
rots; Chinese cabbage, and
radishes.  In fact, his
section is the only one
harvesting vegetables con-
tenuously since May.  Dai-
kai supervises some sixty-
odd acres, and is always
under the handicap of labor
shortages.
   In the course of the con-
versation, the manner and
tone in which he spoke of
his son in the US Army gave
me the impression that he
was doing his share on the
home front in order to not
let his son down.
   And there was Farmer Ha-
tsuiji Sugita from Colusa,
Calif., who talked “to beat
the band.”  This short,
dark-complexioned issei and
his 10 helpers are the pro-
ducers of these casabas,
watermelons, cantaloupes,
and honeydews that are ap-
pearing on our daily menus.
That isn’t all, for Sugita
promises that soon his
sweet potatoes will grace
our tables.
   After conversing with
these talented farmers, I
could only conclude that
they are God’s gifts to us
in this critical period.
