Letters  TO  THE  EDITOR
TO THE EDITOR:
   ...It is deeply significant
that Amache had so few
people leaving for Tule
Lake-a mere 123, whereas,
other centers were going
by the thousands. Why did
the overwhelming majority
of Amache residents in-
dicate  their preference
for the American way of
life?
   The credit goes to our
Project Director Mr. Lindley.
We have in him a most under-
standing soul whose sympathy
and kindness match his
fairness and justice.
   He has permitted the
evacuees all the rights
and privilege within his
powers to extend.   In re-
turn he has been repaid
with the confidence of the
people.   In his quiet and
unobstrusive way he has
won the hearts of all Ama-
che not only to himself
but to the principles for
which he   stands.
   The power of good-will
cannot be under-estimated.
What happened here could
work in Tule Lake also.
If the segregees were
treated like fellow humans
and given more consider-
ation and kindness, it
would be a living example
of Americanism at work.
   I recommend that the
government try some of
that coddling and pamper-
ing it is always  blamed of
doing.    Kindness begets
kindness and the results
will be highly gratifying,
       --Berry  Suzukida

turn to plumbing shop at

wrench of its kind in the
center and is needed for
repair work.
TO    THE   EDITOR.
   The New Englanders, who
do not consider people as
natives of the region unless
their great, great grand-
father raised some beans
on its soil,treat the eva-
cuees with about equal
warmth as a Siberian bliz-
zard,wrote a former Amache
resident now in Connecticut.
   These people have the
most admirable trait of
minding their own business,
he quoted, but when they
ignore you like a person
with a case of German mea-
sles it takes all the kick
out of relocation. Ignor-
ance then no longer is
bliss but something in the
nature of solitary confine-
ment.
   Before my friend loses
an ear from frostbite or
develops an inferiority
complex he plans to re-re-
locate in a region where
outsiders don't remain a
"furriner" for more than
50 years.
   Evacuees,did your great
grandpappy hunt possums on
the soils of New England
in the year 1803? If not,
you'd better buy a ticket
to Kansas City or Brooklyn.

TO THE EDITOR:
   We just received the
8' x 12' US Flag which has
been donated to the schools
by the PIONEER staff.  We
very much  appreciate this
courtesy and thoughtful-
ness.
   Work is proceeding on
the erection of the flag-
pole in front of the new
school  building at this
time. We hope to be able
to use it within the very
near future.
    Many thanks!
