              ***LET US GIVE THANKS***
   TOMORROW is Thanksgiving Day.
   Our second in a relocation center.
   Out of morass of evacuee life's many complications that are his unhappy lot
could this day have significance?
    Yes, if he is able to understand the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
    Traditional turkey with customary cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie doesn't make
a Thanksgiving Day.  It goes deeper than that-spiritually and morally.
    SPIRITUALLY because this day we revere those who made this country great that
it is by their untiring efforts and undying love for America.
   MORALLY because it gives us courage to face our somewhat uncertain future with
a stronger outlook and saner perspective on life in general.
   THANKSGIVING-Let’s live that word forcefully and honestly by giving thanks
from our hearts. With little more kindness and tolerance in our daily contact with
our fellow man. 
   Not just TOMORROW but every day of the year, then and then only will we have
Thanksgiving Day rejoicings.

LOCAL FEDERATION
SENDS $900 WORTH
BAZAAR   ARTICLES
  The local Women's Fed-
eration sent $900 worth of
handmade artic1es to the

Church's annual bazaar last

M. Murai, secretary of the
federation.

on Dec. 3 and 4 under the
leadership of Rev. Alfred
Akamatsu in New York.
   Articles sent include
crocheted materials, dress-
es, artificial flowers,
pin cushions,and sea shell

NEW  CIVIL  SERVICE  TEST
TO ASSURE PLACEMENT
   Civil Service test to
be given soon by the local
employment office will
only back applicant's ability
with official rating but
also assures successful party
a lucrative job, stated
Mario Vecchio of the center
employment office.
   In additional  all Washirig-
ton, D.C. placement remun-
eration for those in grade
3 bracket (two year experi-
ence) is $1620 plus over-
time, while others in grade
2 will receive $1440. Cen-
ter experience can be count-
ed in figuring the two year
requirement for grade 3 rat-
ing. All positions carry
an added incentive of pro-
motion with very favorable
pay raises.
   Not only will civil ser-
vice examination candidate
find "open sesame" to Wash-
ington jobs but also to any
other government position
elsewhere desired and avail-
able.
   Special emphasis is plac-
ed on the fact that all gov-
Ernment clerical and sten-
ography jobs have post-war
security because of vast
amount of clerical work
required for peace-time
resettlement
   Immediate placements
for typists and steno-clerks
in the WRA and other gov-
ernmental agencies are so 
numerous it defys descript-
tion, Vecchio disclosed.
APPLY FOR SHOE STAMP
AS NEEDED WARNS HANSON
   Don't apply for a shoe-
ration  certificate  until
you are ready to use it,
warns Leave Officer Willis
Hanson,  local ration ad-
ministrator.
   Only one such, certificate
can be issued during the
period ending May 1944,and
at the present time it is
valid for only 30 days.
By waiting until the cer-
tificate  is most urgently
needed, residents can best
take care of their shoe
needs, he says.
   In the past, many res-
idents have swamped the
ration desk to obtain cer-
tificates not needed im-
mediately and subsequently
unused.
   The PIONEER will keep
residents informed regard-
ing any changes in ration-
ing regulations.
