cancelled according to a
wire received from WRA
Director Dillon S. Myer,
Project Director Lindley
revealed yesterday.
Said Lindley, "One-hun-
dred-thirty-five Tuleans
were destined for Amache,
but the matter of housing
the recent arrivals proper-
ly is already a serious
problem. Therefore, a pro-
test was sent to the direc-
tor at Washington, and a
decision to send 49 evacuees

LABOR SHORTAGE ON
FARM IS CRITICAL
"Only 80 volunteer-
workers reported to the
farm yesterday," declared
John N. Spencer, chief of
agriculture, "and at that
rate,we will never get our
crops harvested. "It is
imperative that we get more
workers and get them now,"
he stated.
Block managers are urged
to recruit block-volunteer
workers and residents are
asked to cooperate fully.
POLIO CLAIMS LIFE
OF AMACHE GIRL
The second death in Pueb-
lo county from poliomyeli-
tis occurred Friday when a
girl from Amache died at a
Pueblo hospital,was a news
item in the Sept. 25 issue
of the Pueblo Chieftain.
The polio victim was the
girl who voluntarily left
Amache last week disregard-
ing the warnings of the pub-
lic health nurse.
PARTICIPATION
IS STRESSED
Residents of Amache are
asked to participate whole-
heartedly in a general
clean-up campaign, in con-
nection with the Fire Pre-
vention week,Oct.3 through
the 9th, as a means of com-
batting sickness and epi-
demics now prevalent, an-
nounces Lewis Dakan, san-
itary engineer.
BAN IS PLACED ON
OUTSIDE VISITORS
Effective Tuesday, all visiting to the center has
been curtailed until the danger of polio has passed,
according to W.Ray Johnson, assistant project director.
The various WRA supervisors, he said, have been no-
tified of this order and will pass it on to relocated
evacuees in their respective areas.
"We did not like to issue
such an order but it was
done to safeguard the
health and lives of the
residents," said Johnson.
All parents are asked
to notify their sons or
daughters who are contem-
plating visiting the cen-
ter of the order.
Said Johnson, "Somehow
or another, the Arkansas
river region is the hard-
est hit by infantile parlay-
sis in the United States,
and at present close to 15
new cases per day have been
reported."
According to Dr. W. T.
Carstarphan, chief medical
officer, there have been no
new cases of poliomyelitis
in the center aside from
the two cases previously
reported.
Despite this fact, how-
ever, Dr. Carstarphen states
that the quarantine will
be kept up very rigidly for
the next week or so, and
emphasizes the fact that
residents should observe
clean-up week which begins
Oct. 3 and which will con-
tinue through the 9th.
"It is my wish that the
entire center cooperate
very thoroughly in this
movement, as it will help
considerably to eliminate
further cases of poliomyeli-
tis as well as other dis-
eases," he concluded.
URGES FULL COOPERATION
The week of_October 3 to 9 has been designated as
Fire Prevention week, and the people of Amache are
urged to fittingly observe the week through exercising
every precaution against fires.
The citizens of Amache should stimulate and assist,
as far as possible, all project campaigns to the end,
that the clean-up impulse may finally become a con-
tinuous effort and habit, raising civic morals and
pride and awakening the consciousness of the people
to safeguard community health and reduce fire hazards.
Through your cooperation fire hazards can be cut
to a minimum. Your observance of Fire Prevention week
will play an important part in this program.
