KODAMA
PASSES WAC  EXAM
   Edith Kodama, 6E-12 F,
was the third WAC enlistee
from Amache to pass the
physical examination last
week, according to Registrar
Lewis   Fanslan.
   She will  probably be  in-
ducted  at  the   same   time   as
the     two     other     girls who
recently    passed  their   ex-
aminations , Fanslan stated.
BUILDING MATERIALS
BEGIN  TO ARRIVE
   The CCC buildings that
the Boy Scouts and Voca-
tional Agricultural boys
dismantled at Mancos began
to arrive here yesterday,
according to Donald E.Har-
bison, assistant project
director. These materials
will be used to construct
a garage in the Motor Pool
area, and many hen-houses
at the Koen ranch.   Harbi-
son  stated.
DELTANS   “GIVEN"
AA BASEBALL CROWN
   The Motor Pool Parrots
conceded     their     play-off
tilt for the  AA baseball
crown to the Deltans yes-
terday,   according to Harry   
Shironaka,   athletic   direc-
tor.
   Thus, the Deltans are
the undisputed champions
of the AA circuit, and the
1943    season  is   officially
Closed.
RE-INVENTORY TO BE MADE
   Beginning Monday, a com-
plete  re-inventory will be
made of the units to ascer-
tain the proper number of
mattresses, bedding, and
cots which  should belong
to each one, according ,to
E. B. Eaklor, housing su-
perintendent.
   This will be done for
the protection of the resi-
dents who should not have
in possession any property
of the government in excess
of those which have be e n
allotted to them, Eaklor
explained.
   Revealing the extent of
crowded conditions in the
canter, only three rooms
out of the total of 15 rec-
reation halls transformed
into living quarters for
the Tuleans, have not been
occupied,   said Eaklor.
   The task of finding space
for 1089 new residents was
greatly facilitated by the
whole-hearted cooperation
of the block managers and
the people of the block,
and, added Eaklor, "the
housing department wishes
to extend its thanks to

POLIO  PROBLEM
DON’T  IGNORE  WARNINGS
   For the past week, the
report of no new cases or
suspects of polio has led
the majority of the resi-
dents to ignore all pre-
cautionary warnings and
refusing to cooperate by
ignoring   instructions.
   Residents are exposed
to polio more than an out-
side community with build-
ings so close, and with the
serious problem of proper
sanitation in mess halls,
laundries, and latrines,
said E.Ray Johnson,assist-
ant project director, yes-
terday.
   Illustrative of the im-
Minent danger is the fol-
lowing situation: The two
polio patients in the cen-
ter hospital are brother
and     sister,     one     of whom
gave it to the other. Re-
cently, a sister of this
family visited this center.
Knowing that she was ex-
posed to polio, the public
health nurse issued an or-
der for her not to leave
the   center.
   Ignoring all instructions,
She left the center for
Pueblo.   
   It was only yesterday,
a wire from Pueblo notified
the appointed personnel
that     this   girl's   life  was
stake-another polio
victim,   Johnson revealed.
   Residents must cooperate
more fully with the admins -
tration, continued  Johnson.
   “People  must stop coming
to my office to obtain per-
mission for  passes and
gatherings,"   he  ended.--SS
FARM  VOLUNTEERS

   Henry Inouye, general
farm supervisor, reports

frost,the peppers,turnips,
beets and pumpkins must

ing to Project Director
James   G.   Lindley.
  At present  the “Navy”
