For only four ahort months has it been my privilege to know f ARE WELL MESSAGE you; but never before in'my life has such a health of experience been crammed into so short a period of time. It haa been a revelation to me to see how yoB have adapted yourselves to this strange and difficult life, and to watch the many ingenious ways in which you have found outlet for your, energies. I have admired your willingness to do the meni­ al tasks as well as those that brought ready recognition. I have marveled at the educational system which you have developed in the face of innumerable ob­ stacles so that you might make your­ selves more useful. Through it all, in your work and in your play, you have maintained your dig­ nity and your happy disposition. in ay I have learned from you how to׳this s become a better American, and for that I shall remember you always in humble grat­ itude.

The Fire Department, which is composed of thirty husky men, has been invaluable to the Tulare Assembly Center. Among its many duties and outstanding activi­ ties were: maintenance and inspection of fire barrels each morning: fire patrol every night from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.; siR'inkling of the entire camp, using two sprink- ­i-ig wagons and averaging 60,000 gallons of water dai.׳ ly; inspection of all electrical appliances; general fire prevention program; two to four drills per week; and sponsorship of the Guadalupe Boy Scout Troop #1. Two well-ramembered events were the one fire alarm, and the acquisition of the new fire engine on July 24.

The duties of the police have been to enforce all ׳lav;s made by the council and administration as wellas federal, state, and county laws. Among the various duties performed by the police are taking care of such things as: traffic regulations, domestic relations, vice conditions, investigations of various cases, and many other things that help to make the Center a bet­ ter place.

But in July the white clouds come, ap­ proaching always from the horizon-small domes of gleaming vapor appearing over ridge or me^&,— - drifting in silent rhythmical ranks,-- ascending, building, trailing their ultra - marine shadows over the open la,nds. Then spreads a vague darkness beyond the mesas and on the first cool stirrings of air comes the low rumbling voice of the thunder, and the pale shuddering glint of the lightnings flicker in ominous widening caverns of shadow. The ,ie, receding in mystery under sheer - descending veils of rain׳ mesas are b l drifting from measureless heights.

1. Center The Center will be composed of one 5,000 unit and one 10,000 unit. In the latter will be located the h school and the main hospital and two elementary־hip schools. It is difficult to compare such a set up with the Assembly Centers. The fact remains that in so far as possible a great measure of self-government will finally take place. A community council is being started with a representative from each block. Ulti­ mately 54 blocks will be represented.

Dwellings measure 20 x 100, sided with Gyp board painted cream on the outside with double roofs, the top one of w h ich i s covered with red composition shingles. They are constructed in blocks of 14 such buildings, 13 of which are divided into four approximate­ ly equal apartments. The fourteenth is an open building of the same size for single men. In addition, in each block there is a 40 x 100 dining hall and kitchen and a 20 x 100 recreation hall. In e-ch block, also, there are latrines for men and women, a laundry and an ironery. QUESimrOii n R BStiJEREO (continued from page 3) River. By reason of this fact, except in isolated in­ stances, no water is present in the Gila River near the camp. Such water as does appear is tho result of floods between the dam and the present camp site. Whether swimming possibilities in connection with ir­ rigation ditches may be developed remains to be seen beoause in many instances it may be impracticable. 10. Soil The Tact that 7,000 acres supports alfalfa is indi­ cative of the character of the soil under irrigation.

11. Vegetation There are a few palo verde trees. The main vege­ tation is a mesquite, creosote bush, etc.
