The average evacuee worker is

Whatever may have been the
situation there, at Jerome ra-
tioning rules are respected, and
even before rationing the allow
ances of sugar, coffee and meat
were below the standards later
established. Pork is held to ra-
tioning limits, though it is rails
ed by the camp with evacuee
help.
This does not seem like pamp-
ering, particularly when it is re-
membered that these are not
criminals or even suspects. In
deed, for the most part, they are
citizens who - however neces-
sarily - have been deprived Of
rights guaranteed under the

taught and expected to respect,

injuries that may well prove to
