There are three men for every job

the former migrants have filled
every possible labor opening in the
community. They have made good
for themselves, but they have closed
one more community to any further
migration.

place for themselves.
You can see it at East Salinas.
Migrants came here and quietly
went to work, earning their living
and paying their bills. Between $500
and 5000 of them live here. Once
East Salinas was known as "Okla-
bona Flats" or Little Oklahoma
City" But no more. These Okies do
not consider themselves migrants.
They are CalifornianS now. No
where in the settlement can you
find any desire to resume contact
with old and bitter memories.
FARMER PARCELS
OUT LAND
Migrants first settled in East
Salinas in 1929 when the Dust Bowl
first began to spew forth its chill
dren. A farmer divided a 100-acre
bayfield, into tracts of one-SiXth Of
an acre, and sold them for from
5000 to $500 each. There were no
building restrictions. The new own
erS set up ShackS, tin ShantieS,
piano-box shelters. But those first
crude homes have been almost en-
tirely replaced by substantial build
mgs.
The community was unincorpo-
rated, governed by county author
tiles and such local councils as were
set up to meet needs. Most import
ant is the East Salinas Civic I'm
provement Association, which has
built sidewalks, set up few street
lights, and is now installing a SAN
itary system. More than 1000 chill
dren are enrolled in two schools.
Some of the migrants have been
able to start their own businesses in
