TO  START  SPINACH 
HARVESTING  SOON
   Center farm's first vege-
table harvesting of the
season will start as soon
as weather permits when the
farmhands begin pulling up
10 acres of spinach,stated
Noboru Sakamoto, farm su-
perintendent, this week.
The freshly-cut vegetable
will be used for center con-
sumption.
   A heavy crop is not ex-
pected, added Sakamoto, as
part of the spinach patch
was harvested last Novem-
ber,leaving only the second
growth to be cut.
  This successful venture
was planted on an experi-
ental basis last October
by supervisors Naoji Nitta,
Shigeu Fujii and Jitsumi
Abe, and is said to be the
first green vegetable crop
to be harvested at this 
early date in the year among
the surrounding farming 
area.

coast of the Atlantic ocean
to (nearly) the placid
Pacific waters, the local
leave office division has
relocated nearly  111  "com
pleted” family units since
last September, disclosed
Mario Vecchio, center re-
location advisor, Monday.
Some 293 persons left the

tees for a total of 341
family-joining indefinites
   Approximately 41 families  
resettled on farms, while
the remainder chose, various
cities - small and large-
to learn their livelihood.
   The above list of relo-

to be a coast to coast
scattering process; from
Walla Walla, Wash., to as
far east as Boston, Mass.,
and jobs accepted included:
aside from farming, nursery,
poultry raising office
work, domestic, opening
own business establishments
and various defense plant

125  APARTMENTS  NEEDED  FOR
TRANSFEREES  FROM  JEROME
   In order that ample housing space will be avail-
able to accommodate the transferees from Jerome re-
location center within the next sixty days, the local
housing section is  now
making a survey of all va-
cant rooms, according to
John Ter Borg, housing su-
perintendent, this week.
At least 125 rooms are
needed to properly house
the future Amacheans which
will require many apartment
changes.
   Ter Borg believes that
the required number of rooms
will be obtained because
"there is a splendid spirit
of interest and willingness
to cooperate on the part of
block coordinator and the
block residents to make the
necessary adjustments."

lies, stated Ter Borg, who
needed adjoining  rooms,
