TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1943 MASON )TY GLOBE-GAZETTE NO SABOTAGE BY Committee Formed to Bring New Residents to Mason City Cotton Smit Is Approved by Juniovrs LIMIT SALES OF ODD LOT SHOES Per Cent of Inventory and Cost Are Brakes citizens in beautifying their homes and grounds. Neat and attractive looking homes will do much toward accomplishing the purpose in mind." At the same meeting of the trustees, committees were formed on industries and on conventions. The secretary reported the receipt of 27 applications for membership since the previous meeting of the trustees. altogether there are perhaps 100 in the Hawkeye state at present. Approximately 35 of them are attending college, and the balance are working, some as domestic help, some in offices and some on farms.

She said that many Japanese-Americans operated farms on the Pacific coast before the war and are anxious to continue this work now. "Most of them were in the vegetable growing business, but Hff sizes a w- zations; better opportunities to rent or sell homes; and more business for our merchants. In fact, nearly every line of en-deaver would to some extent benefit." "In addition to its own effort, the 'Live in Mason City committee desires to enlist the assistance of every man and woman in Mason City. It requests that all, for the purpose of furthering the activity, consider themselves members of the committee, whether they belong to the association or not, and that they be constantly on the alert to induce those they know to be contemplating a change in location to move to Mason City. 3fc "While the committee set up by the association will bend every energy to accomplish the desired end, a great deal more can be accomplished if all of our citizens will assist in the undertaking.

Naturally, appeals from friends or relatives living in Mason City to those considering removal to a new location will have more weight than if made by the committee but the committee will be pleased to work with them on any such cases on request. "It will cost you nothing to take part in the effort and it will surely result in bringing many good families to our city. Sfc 3fr "In addition and as an inducement to those seeking new homes, the committee will conduct campaigns to interest our JAPS IN S. IS CLAIM ON FORUM Japanese-American Girl and Friends Service Worker Discuss Problem "I think that "the government is acting wisely in confining any Japanese whether American citi zens by birth or not about whose loyalty there is no doubt. There has been no sabotage by Japanese Americans.

Most of them hate the present Japanese government and will do all they can to bring about its defeat." ine aoove statements were made on the KGLO Forum Mon aay nignt Dy Alice uchiyama, a sophomore at Drake university, Moines, who spent nine months in the relocation center at Gila River, Ariz. John W. Copithorne, for five years secretary of the league of nations society in Canada and at present a field resprescntative for the American Friends Service committee, who is working with the war relocation authority in Iowa on the question of relocation of loyal Japanese-Americans, also spoke on the program. 3fi 3 ji Thor J. Jensen.

Globe-Gazette staff member, interviewed the principals. Mr. Copithorne, answering a question concerning mass hysteria in the United States against Japanese-Americans, said that an unreasonable statement like "a Jap is a Jap" is racial prejudice. "It is unintelligent, untrue and unscientific. No minority group in our history has given less trouble than these Japanese-Americans," he declared.

3fc Miss Uchiyama pointed out that rone of the Japanese-Americans she knows has met with hostility since coming to Iowa. She said that since they used a good deal of machinery on their farms, they expect to be able to adapt themselves to the Iowa type of farming very easily," she said. Mr. Copithorne pointed out that at the present time there are 8,700 Japanese-Americans serving in this country's armed services. Five thousand were in before the war's outbreak, the rest volunteering since that time.

fi 3f, 2f, Discussing the procedure an evacuee must go through before he can be released from an internment center for work elsewhere, it was explained that the government checks the record of each individual before he is re leased. The fingerprints of each evacuee are forwarded to Washington for a check against the files there This determines whether the individual has a record or not. Then, the records of the war relocation authority are checked and the be haviour of the person since evacu ation is considered. If all these re Dorts are favorable he is given a permit to leave the center. Mr.

Copithorne invted all inter ested parties, desiring to employ evacuees or wishing further information on this subject, to write the war relocation authority, 520 Liberty building, Des Moines. WILL EMPLOY MEXICANS ALGONA About 100 Mexicans are being brought here this week to help in detasseling corn for the Pioneer Hi-Bred Seed Corn company. The company has about 1,300 acres to detassel. and with the present labor shortage and grain harvest coming on these men are badly needed to insure seed corn for the 1944 corn crop. ft ICS II A new UfA regulation now permits the selling of odd lot shoes, ration free during the pe riod of July 19 to July 31.

This in eludes shoes of broken sizes, obso lete styles, odds and ends and closeouts. The OPA amendment to the shoe ration order give shoe retailers an opportunity to get rid of such shoes without the use of ration stamps. Sales without ration stamp were limited by OPA to a per centage of the April 10 inventory in each of four classes, as follows: Men's dress and work shoes and youths' and boys' shoes. per cent: women shoes. 4 per cent: misses, children and in fants' shoes, 2 per cent, and all other rationed shoes, 2 per cent Although retailers may sell all kinds of shoes, they may not sell more in any one of the classes than the equal amount equal to the designated percentage of the number of pairs of that class in his inventory on April 10, minus the shoes in those classes that normally sell ration free such as certain sports shoes, boots and evening slippers.

A further brake is put on the sale of shoes by a price ceiling which may not exceed an amount 10 per cent above price paid by the owner of the shoe store for the shoes. If this price cannot be figured, the shoe must be priced at least 25 per cent below the establishment's regular retail selling price for the same shoes on July 1. Two Fined 1 0, Costs on Speeding Charges Loren Lloyd Bowers, 1620 Monroe avenue northwest, and Curtiss Arthur Vrchota. 216 Twelfth street northeast, were each fined S10 and costs Tuesday by Police Judge Morris Laird on charges of speeding.

GREAT ANNUAL JULY Greater Mason City Group Also Names Units on Conventions, Industry The problem of filling vacant homes and apartments in the city was undertaken by the Greater Mason City Association at a meeting of its trustees, it was announced Tuesday. A "Live in Mason City" committee was formed consisting: of Verne A. Mettler, chairman, M. W. Boomhower, J.

II. Ilolub, Nels Landgren, and W. B. Wilson. The trustees felt, according to Secretary A.

M. Schanke, that in addition to effort to bring about such occupancy by attracting industries through the association's committee on industries, an additional committee should be set up to induce the large number, who retire from business or the farm or change locations for better school and church advantages or other reasons, to come to Mason City to live. In discussing the subject it was brought out that in North Iowa alone many highly desirable tami-lies can be induced to locate here and that nearly all of the citizens and institutions of Mason City will benefit from such growth, Mr. Schanke reported. 3fc 3fc "Some of the gains mentioned as resulting" from such increase in population were the increased memberships in our churches and fraternal organi EATONS NO LIMIT ON THE QUANTITY!
