Granada Pioneer, Vol. II, No. 19

              JAN. 15, DEADLINE FOR DOG LICENSE FEE REFUNDS
  Refunds on dog license  fees paid last summer will be made until Jan. 15 at the
fiscal office, announces Read Hansen, finance officer. This move was necessitated
when the Washington WRA office ruled that sales of dog licenses in the center was
illegal.
   Thus   far only a few    people   have   collected  their   refund.    After   Jan.   15,   the
money will be  sent to the  US treasury and  thereafter no  refunds will be made.

SEABROOK FARM JOBS OFFERED
TO  ONLY  AMACHE  EVACUEES
   The  Seabrook Farms   six-
month    seasonal   offer    to
local   evacuees  being of ex-
perimental nature, which
may eventually lead to  per-
manent relocation outlet, 
has been cancelled temp-
rarily at all other relo-
cation centers, according
to information released
yesterday by the employment
office.  This opportunity
has been made exclusive to
assure success by having
the first  contingent re-
cruited from one center.
   Henry  C. Patterson, re -
location officer from Phil-
Adelphia, arrived in this
center yesterday as a “spe-
cial Seabrook representa-
tive” to offer employment
and interview prospective
relocatees at the project
placement office.  His pre-
sent plan details him here 
for a 30-day stay and he
will be available for daily 
interviews.
   His "bag" of jobs deals
generally on farming pos-
sibilities and primarily
on the variegated opportu-
nities offered by the Sea-
brook Farms. Patterson is
here to add impetus to the
present drive to sign up
200 seasonal workers on a
six-month experimental bas-
is.
   He     further     reiterated
that there are other farm-
ing opportunities besides
Seabrook in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.  But advises
all those interested in 
eastern farming to “learn 
the ropes” at the Seabrook 
Farms and then branch out
elsewhere.  This New Jer-
sey firm has abundant chances 
for those with capital as
well as those without added 
funds.
