6-MONTH SEASONAL JOBS
OFFERED 200 EVACUEES
A very enticing six-
month seasonal work is of-
fered by the Seabrooke Cor-
poration of New Jersey to
200 evacuees in their de-
hydration plant for imme-
diate employment. This
concern has one of the
world's largest truck and
fruit farms and lays claim
to having the largest de-
hydration plant in opera-
tion 15,000 acres are
operated directly by the
company and an additional
15,000 are being cultivated
by local farmers under con-
tract.
There are all sorts of
positions open with wide
range of wages and salaries.
There is possible employ-
ment for entomologist and
soil chemist and for men
experienced in orchard work
but their present need is
for dehydration plant work-
ers. About 100 must be
women to check vegetables
as they come from the peel-
ing machines.
United States Housing
Authority recently con-
structed a series of unit
homes for about 800 indi-
viduals equipped withproper
sanitation facilities. Each
room is furnished with coil
spring bed, a mattress,
linen and blankets for a
week. USHA is also con-
structing 200 family units
with cooking facilities and
completely furnished. At
present cafeteria- concession
serves meals for about $1.50
a day.

be granted for this job on
a seasonal basis if the in-
dividual agrees to stay at
least six months and in ad-
dition the firm will pay
the evacuee's round-trip
fare. Individual may change
from seasonal status to an
indefinite leave by fol-
lowing WRA regulations.

SPANISH CONSUL
TO MAKE CHECK-UP
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14-
The Spanish Consulate an-
nounced that Consul F. De-
Amat , who represents the
interests of Japanese in-
ternees under provisions
of the Geneva conference,
has arrived at Tule Lake
and "is not expected back
for several weeks."
It was speculated here
that DeAmat’s trip to Tule
Lake resulted from a Tokyo
demand for an official
investigation and report on
the situation at the center
where 16,000 Japanese,
including about 8000 class-
ified as "disloyal" are in-
terned.
PROJECT FARM WORKERS PERFORM
DAILY CHORES IN ZERO WEATHER
During the past month
no news about the project
farm has been released,
but the farm workers are
still pluggirg away at their
daily chores in this zero
weather, according to John
Spencer, chief of agricul-
ture.
At present, farmhands
are sorting and cleaning
onions, potatoes and beans
at the root cellar; doing
repair work on farm machine-
ry; and in addition, per-
forming the daily chores
on the hog, poultry and
cattle projects.
Preparation of land for
next season has been dis-
continued because of fro-
zen ground, but every ef-
fort is being made to uti-
lize the water as its scar-
city is forseen, Spencer-
added.
TSUCHIYA DONATES
CHRISTMAS TREES
Every block mess hall
will be decorated with a
Christmas tree, thanks to
Frank Tsuchiya who donated
enough trees to assure all
the block residents a happy
holiday. Tsuchiya is the
proprietor of the Granada

The Christmas trees were
obtained from Portland,
Oregon, and average in
height of little over five
feet, according to Ted Tana-
ka, assistant project stew-
ard.
