Dr. Sasaki and Nurses

duties in the hospital.

All were formerly stationed

at the Salinas Center Hos-

Genial end friendly, all

three agreed that every-

thing was all right, while

Dr. Susaki said thet the

GOOD LUCK MR. MUNDELL

GDeiwnk - eee ee

On Tuesday, Mr. Harold Mundell, our Center Manager,

is due to leave for his former post in New Mexico as the

State Director of Employment for the WOP.A.

Cautious and deliberative in his policies, he has

been instrumental in easing whatever repercussions

which may have fallen on us, His earnest efforts and

active work in behalf of the residents cannot be over-

looked or minimized.

We feel that we are voicing the opinion of the Cen-

ter in saying that we respectfully appreciate his sin-

cerity in the matter :of the proper management of the

Center.

Lastly, we wish him the best of good fortunes in all

of his future endeavors,

`WHAT. FOODS THESE MORSELS BE 77.

Dear dditor:

Will you kindly write "an editorial on the waste of

food in the warehouse department? Quite often spoiled

vegetables and fruits are being thrown away. This is

our' food so that we, the people in this center, should

ask them to be more careful; then there is no need to

run out of foods . like some mess has. been doing. Why

should perishable food spoil in the warehouse when we

need all the fresh vegetable and fruit we ean get? Also

by a fair distribution of all foods persons in the last

mess call will not be deprived of their allowance.

| (signed) bt

Replying to the proposed editoria , PB find 4Hat "the

author is not acquainted with the problem of supplying

4,100 people with perishable foods.

It is almost impossible to obtain fresh fruits and

vegetables in quantities and qualities desired, Our

orders are placed 12 days in advance of our needs, but

we cannot often obtain some items, Consequently, we

must accept psrishables which are not inaccordance with

our specifications. Hither that, or do without. For

example, cantaloupes recently received were already 10%,

Spoiled, In order to insure a constant Supply of. per-

ishables we must maintain asupply above our daily needs.

This, in turn, results in a certain percentage of spoil-

age, So, the Spoilage of fruit and vegetables to which

the writer refers,

the result of carelessness'or mismanagement.

As to the shortage of. food at the last- mess, we must

depend upon the kitehen personnel to advise us when such.

Shortages occur, _ We are endeavoring in every way pos-

Sible to abolish any shortages. To our knowledge no

shortages have beeh reported within the last ten days.

Ve want everyone tohave an adequate supply of food, for

upon our ability to, care'for our evacuees, rests the re-

cord we will establish. And we wish to establish a good

one, ,
