EDITORIAL

pound1 JONQUIN - YOUR PAPER

It may be natural that there should

be an editorial statement concerning

the policies of this publication which

mikes its

a far-fetched, unattainable gozl; but

thet would defect the purpose of our

work before we go very far.

It is understood that it was no

etsy task for those who struggied and

toiled through long years to settle

in this country. It wes a tremendous

tesk to uproot ourselves end actively

perticipete in _the evecuetion movement

which is still in its first stage,

The work which lies chead is yet a big

hurdle to overcome.

Eowsver, our personsl] frustre tions

mst be shelved temporerily for en

underteking which requires ecch individuel

to cooperate with his fullest and best

erfort.

The

with

Staff is endeavoring to work

the administrative officials of

our Center and the various activity

groups in dissemineting news and in-

formation,

initial appearance, and much

could be said et greet length to explain |

_ STOCKTON Aarne CENTER, SATURDAY,

IRON STOVES MAWE TROUBLE

we make a specie] request that every-

one cooperate with the Camp Officials in

the use of electricity.

Ironers, stoves, fans and radios will

be confiscated as a safety measure unless

we take steps to avoid overloading the

current. Overloading the current will

burn a fuse. If a faulty fuse is insert-

ed and does not burn when the line is

overloaded, fire hazerds will increase.

We ask all of you to make every effort

of electricity. Mcke

errengements in your own berracks so thet

there will be not more then one flat

ironer or stove in use at the sane time

and not more than one radio to an apart-

ment.

READJUSTING OURSELVES

It wes only a short time ago thet. we

were el] living the lives we were ec-

customed to living, Today all our .

habits are e fer cry from the past.

Readjusting ourselves to this new

community is not (R) simple tesk. It

tekes pateence, hard work end above all

the initiative and ambition to overcome

the frailties. that may tempt us in our

present situation,

Above o11 we must not let --

become embittered over the fact that

we were forced to sacrifice our homes,

Our properties and our former eesspci-

ates. The move was eminent. Wer is e

crue] instrument, and we cannot expect

gur desires to dominate over the con-

duct of the war,

Yet, 11 is not for the worst. Now

thet we have a ministure town set up

here, it gives us an opportunity to

study and face 411 the problems that

confront a city. Problems of every

nature will turn up from time to time,

and it will be up to us to find and solu-

tion for ezch,

The best cure for readjustment. is

work, Unfortunately *here isn't work

for all of us here in this Aaevary

Center.

Those of us. who ere nesigsied jobs

have the satisfeotion of knowing that

whetever task

will benefit our fellow men, We are

sll working to creste better ae Feng.

conditions for-.ourselves.

Therefore we cannot stress a ne

gently the need for cooper ration end CcO=)

HELP MAINTAIN SANITATION

4ll of us like to have the general

appearance of our home appear attractive,

Sanitation is and question thet cennot be

ignored when more than four thousand

people are congregated.

Lack of precautionery me sure will in-

evitably cause sicknesses to gain a foot-~

hold. Your cooperation in keeping the

latrines and washrooms clean will be

greatly appreciated. These facilities

were built for your convenience and it

is up to you to keep them in good shape,

Many people are careleagsly throwing

rubbish eeround the grounds with no

thought that others are voluntarily fol-

lowing their wake keeping the grounds

clean.

Don't be on the throwing end. Be on

the retrieving end.

DON'T SPEAK TO SENTPIES

Word has been received that `some

folks are talking to the sentries on

duty outside the fence surrounding the

center.

Please don't speak to these puards
