Title:

The new Methodist Hostel at 3508 So. Normandie, Los Angeles, of which Rev. Yuzuru Yamaka from Amache is manager as well as being minister of the Japanese Methodist Church next door. The Hostel occupies the former Westlake Chapel of the church, and will accommodate 70 people. It opened June 12. This district is close to the University of Southern California. Like the other four hostels in greater Los Angeles, it accommodates both families and singles. The usual charge is made, $1 a day for lodging and three meals per person, raised to $1.50 after a week or ten days. All adults help with the work. There is no time limit on the length of stay. Advance reservations are desirable, and it is a good idea to bring ration books. Church membership is not expected. -- Photographer: Mace, Charles E. -- Los Angeles, California. 6/25/45
