TO  HOLD  CONFAB
ON  HOSPITAL  LABOR
SHORTAGE  TODAY
   A confab of all block
managers and councilmen
will be held this after-
noon at Town Hall at 1 o’
clock to discuss and solve
the present critical short-
age of nurses’aides at the center
jospital, according to
W. Ray Johnson, chief
of the community management.
   A  staff  of 40    nurses’
aides   is  necessary to  pro-
vide  the     proper  attention
to  the patients, and with
relocation rapidly diminish-
ing the existing staff, a
solution must be found,
Johnson stated.
   This serious problem can
be eased with the whole-
hearted cooperation of the
residents, Johnson added.

Reports Officer Joseph Mc-
Clelland.
   The officials were Mal-
colm E. Pitts, field assit-
ant director; Angelo Gi-
rado, procurement officer,
and H.F. Tarvin, regional

MESS   DIVISION  TO   MEET
ITS   QUOTA  VOLUNTARILY
   “The reduction of work-
rs will be done by volun-
tary departure by the mess
workers themselves, and no’
drastic measures will be
enforced,”  stated Ted Ta-
naka, assistant project steward, Tuesday at the gen-
eral meeting of the 29 chief
stewards at 10H mess hall.
   This confab was called 
to clarify and determine
what method is to be em-
ployed to meet the gradual
reduction of mess division
workers to 1128 by the first
of next month.  At present
1178 workers are on the payroll.
   Breaking down the total
of workers into each mess 
hall reveals that 36 work-
ers are now employed.  The
new quota calls for reduc-
tion of at least two work-
ers or 34 employees in each
mess hall.
  A close check on meal
count in order to equalize
and make a fair distri-
bution on allotmen t of 
food and ration points to
each mess hall will be main-
tained, stated Toshio Shim-
bori of the mess division
at the meeting.
