  A  “Chicago Special”
railroad coach, completely
filled with relocators
from this center is planned
for October 11, James G. 
Lindley, project director,
revealed today.
   “Because of the interest 
here in relocation  in the
Chicago    area    and     points
east,    and   because of the
present  exceptional     em-
ployment opportunities there,
we believe   that an entire

“This will afford an op-
portunity for potential
relocators to travel to-
gether.  I'm sure it will
be an interesting trip."
   According to Mario Vec-
chio, assistant placement
officer, the Chicago area
now offers a number of es-
pecially good job oppor-
tunities.  The major types of
job offers are listed
elsewhere in this issue of
the PIONEER.  Many jobs
are also open in Kansas
City, Des Moines ,Rockford,
Madison, Milwaukee, Peoria,
St. Louis, Cincinnati, To-
ledo, Minneapolis,and other
cities," V e e c hi o said,
"and we still have stand-
ing invitations from the
Kansas   City,New York,  Bos-
ton,   and Philadelphia re-
location offices; anyone
wishing to go to these
points may do so whether
of not they obtain definite
jobs in advance.”
    Leave Officer Willis
Hanson suggests that Amache
residents who have been
making plans for relocation
in the  near future consider
the “Chicago Special” date
of October 11 as “it,” and
that  they take care of all
necessary leave require-
ments during the coming
week.   Special attention
will be given to those
wishing to leave on that
date, he indicated.

location supervisor in Chi-
cago  promised c omplete
cooperation in the plan.

tion supervisor from Chi-
cago office, will be in

POLIO
CENTER  TO  TIGHTEN  BAN
ON OUTSIDE  VISITORS
   "According to Dr. Wil-
liam Carstarphen, chief
medical officer, more strict
regulations must be en-
forced to combat the polio
epidemic,”  stated James G.
Lindley, project director,
yesterday.
   Continued Lindley,”Cur-
tailment of outside visitors
will be rigidly enforced,
and this quarantine will
be continued indefinitely
as present weather condi-
tions do not warrant any
relaxation of this order.
We must do everything nec-
essary to protect residents
here.”
   Reports show there are
169 polio cases in the state
of Colorado, and two more
new cases were reported in
Lamar this week.
   In Baca county, the
spread of polio necessitated
the closing of all schools,
theaters, churches and 
places of public gatherings
for two weeks.
   "Persons  who are  out  or
are going to leave on sea-
sonal leaves will not be
permitted to return to the
center for week-end visits,”
Lindley continued, and
these persons may only re-
turn after their seasonal leaves
or the work is finished.”
   “Men in the armed forces 
are discouraged to visit
here,” Lindley concluded.

OBSERVE  FIRE
PREVENTION  WEEK
   From tomorrow through
Saturday, residents are
urged to observe and coop-
erate in the Fire Prevention
week by remembering the old
adage,”that clean premise
seldom burns,”  according to
Vern Campbell, fire protect-
tion officer.
   Declared Campbell,”With
the type of constructions
we have here, residents
must be more careful in using
candles which  should be 
used in emergencies only.”
   “Another hazard is the
clothes lines which are
often constructed too near
or above the stoves, and
have been the cause of many
fires in this center,” he
continued.
   “During the past year,
residents have cooperated
splendidly in keeping our
fire losses to the low
level of a fraction over
6 cents per capita, and I
know the people will par-
ticipate in the general
clean-up campaign,” con-
cluded Campbell.”
