PAGE TWELVE WRA DIRECTOR ARRIVES FOR NEWELL DUTY Raymond Best has arrived to take over his duties as director of the Tulelake war relocation center. ... The new director has already paid two visits to Klamath Falls and said he hopes to become well acquainted with this com munity and its people. Best came here from the di rectorship of the project at Leuppi Ariz. He previously was connected with the projects at Moab, Minidoka and Manzanar, and served in the regional of fice at San Francisco. Previous to that he was with the soil conservation service. Born in Michigan, Director Best has worked for many years in western states and con siders Port Angeles, Wash., his home. He married Nora Laird, of Salt Lake City, and is the father of three sons, 10, 14, and 21 years respectively. The old est son is in the United States army air corps. Best fought in the last war as a marine and is member of the American Legion. He is also an Elk. After the war he settled in Dubois, Idaho, where he was the proprietor of a mer chandise store. He entered the ' Hiyil service in 1934 in the re settlement project In Idaho which later became part tf the coil conservation service. Best arrived with his family at the Tule lake project Sun day evening and he met repre sentative colonists and spoke to the evacuees in a mass meeting on Tuesday. He likes people and enjoys working with them. He frankly admits that he has en joyed his work with the war relocation authority more than any other work he has ever done. Since the announcement that Tule lake was to be a segrega tion center, newspapers have re ferred to it as a project for dis loyal Japanese. This is not en tirely true, according to Best.. . Many Japanese-Americans, in cluding citizens, who will reside at the Tule lake center are not disloyal to this country. They merely feel that they have no future here and have expressed a desire to return to Japan or some other country after the war where they can start life anew and where they believe their children will have a bet ter opportunity . of making a livelihood. ' Since the emphasis of reloca tion is the scattering of Japanese-Americans throughout the country, some groups, such as' professional men, - etc., would not be able to make a living in this country as their clients are drawn entirely from Japanese American communities. - Pie Poison Victims On Road to Recovery EUGENE, Aug. 7 Jf) The food poisoning outbreak in the Cottage Grove-Eugene area sub sided today with approximately 75 persons recovering from the effects of eating tainted pie.

Lindgren, Lane county health officer, said im proper refrigeration probably was to blame for contamina tion of cream pies. AERIAL SUPREMACY SANTA CRUZ, Calif.. W Raccoons raided Joseph Majors' ranch.

Mixup Not So Merry as Private, Woman Exchange Travelling Bags on Bus : CAMP WHITE As the south bound bus rolled to a stop at Woodland, Calif., Mrs. Hazel Hagan of 735 Camulos street, Los Angeles, reached for her bag and hurried to change buses. Hours later, at home, she opened the bag, Instead of . fluffy feminine unmentionables she found articles of clothing of an unmistakable origin. Hastily she examined the bag more closely. While it re sembled her own, it most as suredly was not. But picture the consternation of Pvt. Ray Mowrey, many miles eastward at Miller, Neb., as he arrived home on furlough. Still wearing a haggard look and the same uniform he left with Pvt. Mowrey reported back here this week for duty as a member of an artillery bat talion. In his hand he carried a bag which looked very much New Director 1 ' , .IT" t gJ 1 y.i "Ate Raymond But. new director of the TuUlak war relocation oentar, has arrived here to take over his WRA duties.

But Mowrey hoped no one could guess the contents of that bag. Greeting his first sergeant. Pvt. Mowrey paled a little at the thought of his dreaded sec ret. Thanks, however, to the friendliness of a department store manager, to the quarter master laundry's impeccable re cords, and -most of all to Mrs. Hagan's ingenuity, Pvt. Mowrey now can ' breath . freely once again. With only two clues an apparently meaningless mark, composed of four numerals and a one-letter prefix, on the strange clothing, plus a sales slip from a Medford, ' Oregon, store she wrote a letter. Charles Adair, store manager, reached for his telephone, called the camp laundry. Pvt. Mowrey and Mrs. Hagan now are arranging an exchange of their mixed-up luggage.
