Granada PIONEER Vol. I, No. 5 Amache, Colorado November 11, 1942 The first Armistice, November 11, 1918. I remember it well. I was standing on a machine gun emplacement down in Georgia. Someone shouted, "The war is over. The Armistice has been signed!” I recall standing there, mute, relieved, and with a calmness I had not known for years. My eyes rested on a grove of southern pines, and I saw in them visions of the future. Tall, straight, and united by their green life-providing tops. Peace, too, and vigor, security, and strength. Armistice day again, 1942, in Granada. Chaos a- broad. But here in our hearts is peace. Peace for the asking and the desiring. In the fields I see the sword-like yucca, the prickly pear cactus, and the sage in place of the Georgia pine. I see these, and I ask: Cannot man take from nature the model of life? Our roots are all in the same earth; we live, mature, and then return to its bosom. Why not make our life here like a garden, a garden in which we hope our God will walk with us to an eternal Armistice? John P. Karpen, 1st Lt. CMP Commanding 335 Escort Guard Co. HAWAII DANCE With swaying palm trees silhouetted against lei- covered lights, the recrea- tion department will sponsor a "Hawaiian Nights" dance Saturday at Terry Hall from 7:30 to 11 p.m. An admission cost of 10 cents per couple will he charged and tickets, avail- able at 7E recreation hall, will be limited to the first 125 couples. SONG FEST A community sing will be held on Friday in the 1.1G recreation hall at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend. DISNEY MEN TEACH ART Tom Okamoto, art instruct- tor in the junior and senior high schools, and Chris Ishii, both graduates of the Chouinard art institute and former Walt Disney stu- dio artists, will instruct the fine art classes at the adult night school. Commercial art will be taught by Atsushi Kikuchi, alumnus of the Art center school of Los Angeles. Classes are being held at 8H-3B, Monday through Friday from the hours of 7-9 p.m. YWCA RALLY SATURDAY A lively afternoon of skits, songs, games, and fellowship is promised at the YWCA get-together rally to be held at the 7H rec- reation hall this Saturday at 2 p.m. Mothers and girls are urged to attend. Highlight of the after- noon's program will be a pantomine skit, "The Y's Ways", which will present the five phases of Y acti- vity; service, ceremonies, interest groups, recreation, and health and religion. It will be under the direc- tion of Yoshiko Ito. Also included on the program will be group songs led by Kayme Kishi, vocal offerings by Pat Suzuki and games provided by the Toquiwa Club. Mrs. Rio Kashiwagi, member of the temporary advisory commit- tee will be chairman of the rally. POLICE NAB PICKPOCKETS Money-hungry adolescents, who have been lifting valu- ables from the clothes of residents taking showers in certain blocks of this center, have finally been traced down and apprehended, announced Stanley E. Adams, chief of police, yesterday. The boys are being re- habilitated mainly through the efforts of special de- tail officer Saburo Tani, who has been acting as me- diator between the culprits and their parents, he added. In cooperation with the administration and the Ama- che city council, the police department is working on a regulation prohibiting out- side permits for children under the age of 18 years unless accompanied by par- ent, guardian or responsible chaperone, Adams concluded. The department is proud that its police follow the more advanced juvenile de- linquency practices used throughout the country-- that of stressing prevention and rehabilitation rather than punishment and the attendant evil of ostracism. PIONEER MOVES Today's edition of the Pioneer is the first to emanate from our new office in the Pioneer building. It is two buildings west of the post office in the ad- ministration area. Santa Anitans will remember it as the place where they got their government issue clothing. Our old office at the 8F recreation hall is now occupied by the YWCA and we are sure that they will put it to good use.
