Full title:Buddhist Hostel, 1336 W. 36th Place, Los Angeles, near the University of Southern California. This is one of five
hostels now open in greater Los Angeles serving any and all Issei or Nisei families or singles, whether direct from centers
or not. The charge is $1 a day per person for lodging and three meals a day; usually after the first week or ten days, or
sometimes after securing employment it is raised to $1.50. There's no time limit on length of stay. There are quarters for
separate families, and dormitories for singles. Every adult helps with the work. Bulletin boards and a secretary provide timely,
helpful information. Some of the hostels have as many as 100 guests. They are financed not by W.R.A., but by religious organizations,
usually Christian. Church membership is not expected. Advance reservations are desirable, and it is also a good idea to bring
ration books.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Los Angeles, California.
