1E RECREATION HALL
BECOMES ART STUDIO
Paintings on exhibition,
homemade bench easels, pal-
ette door handles, and other
ingenious touches create
an atelier at recreation
hall 7E that aptly deserves
the name, "Art studio."
Here 55 beginners are
now sketching with charcoal,
water color, and oil, under
the guidance of instructors
Tokio Uyeyama and Koichi No-
miyama.  Classes are being
held in the mornings, after-
noons and evenings on Mon-
days, Wednesdays,  Fridays.
Uyeyama, a former Los An-
geles man, studied at the
Pennsylvania Academy of
Art and was sent abroad to
Paris on a scholarship.
Nomiyama is a graduate of
the California School of
Fine Arts and is a member
Of the San Francisco Art
association.  Both have
exhibited widely in Cali-
fornia.
Art department supervisor
Sakae Kawashiri and recrea-
tion director Keiji Matsu-
Hiro welcome the public
to visit the studio.

YOUTH GETS
BANK POSITION
From mess hall cook, to
coal yard worker, to rec-
reation leader, to bank em-
ployee.   This is the story
of Tommy Matsuura, 19, of
12K-4B, who last week began
work in the American State
bank of Granada.
Matsuura, after five
days' work loading coal
trucks in Granada, decided
to apply for other work in
the town.  He was referred
to the bank and was granted
an interview by Mr. E. P.
Page, president.  A few
days later, the bank put in
a call for young Matsuura
and he has been at work
since.
Scouts  Hike
A seven-mile observation
hike was taken by 176 cub
and boy scouts, and their
leaders recently. The boys
passed the experimental
farms, the Arkansas river,
and the  town of Granada.

zen before evacuation.
