POLICE   TO
BE   TRAINED
A comprehensive program
for the training of interior
police guards is planned
by H. R. Tomlinson, the
Granada center's new police
chief. ,
Tomlinson, former Wichi-
ta, Kan., police captain,
has taken complete charge
of the police department,
and will be aided by Stan-
ley Adams who will continue
to serve as assistant chief.
Local laws, powers of
arrest, criminal investi-
gation, police jiujitsu,
and safety education are
among the fields to be
covered by the training
program.
Check   Survey
Being   Made
A preliminary survey is
now being made to determine
the checks for the July,
August, and September cloth-
ing allowance, according to
Willis F. Hanson, adminis-
trative officer.
Announcements will be
made in a few weeks as to
the amount, and the reci-
pients, he stated.
FARM PROJECT STOPPED
Unless clarification is
given as to whether outside
farms or the center farm
should receive primary at-
tention, it will be impos-
sible to continue with the
development of the proiect
land.
Such was the conclusion
reached by members of the
agricultural committee of
the general assembly who
met last week with Warren
R. Bennison, chief of agri-
culture end industry, to
discuss future plans of the
WRA in regard to the farm
project.
Discussed also was the
possibility of a higher
wage for center farm labor-
ers as an incentive to keep
them within the project.
The group also heard re-
ports of evacuees who toured
northern Colorado to make
a general agricultural sur-
vey as guests of the Great
Western Sugar company.  They
commented that the area
about Greeley, Fort Collins,
Fort Morgan, and south of
Eaton is the best agricul-
tural country they have
seen outside of fertile
California areas.
COAL HAULING PROBLEM
AGAIN FACES ASSEMBLY
CENTER    DIRECTOR IN CALL FOR
FORTY-EIGHT   EVACUEE WORKERS
Hauling of coal into
the Granada center again
became a major problem as
Director James Lindley asked
the general assembly for
48 evacuee laborers, Monday.
Lindley hinted that stern
measures may be in order
if immediate response is
not  forthcoming.
Because 150 volunteer
beet toppers were told that
they were not needed as
they stood waiting for
transportation last week,
the assembly felt that an
appeal for coal haulers
would go unheeded.
To cope with the situa-
tion, members of an assem-
bly committee have been
conferring with Donald E.
Harbison, assistant project
director, and Walter J.
Knodel, placement officer,
during the past two days.
ILLNESS  HITS
BLOCK 6H
Food poisoning was be-
lieved to be the cause of
the sickness of almost the
entire populace of the 6H
block, it was revealed by
the mess division yesterday.
An investigation is un-
der way to determine the
exact cause.
