| 朝鮮動乱が収まった後も、基地拡張が図られ、石畑を中心とした農地を失いました。騒音に苦しむ瑞穂中学校は、米軍が使用していた射撃場を返還してもらい、補償によって移転しました。また、中学校に同居していた農林分校は独立校舎をもつようになりました。 | Even after the Korean War was concluded, expansion of the air base was planned, and the farmland around Ishihata was forfeited. Mizuho Junior High School, which suffered from the noise, requested the return of the firing range that the US force was using, and the school was relocated there, along with compensation. In addition, the Mizuho branch of the Tokyo Metropolitan Agriculture and Forestry High School, which had lived together within the junior high school, now had its own independent school building. |
| 基地の補償は公共施設の建設にあらわれ、青年研修所、役場新庁舎、町営プール等が実現しました。 | The compensation by the air base facilitated the construction of public facilities, thereby enabling us to deliver a youth training center, a new town office building, municipal pool, etc. |
| 商業や交通の便で瑞穂町と密接な関係にあった元狭山村、基地で畑を失い、他に伸びる土地を求めていた瑞穂町は、かねて合併を希望し、関係方面に働きかけていましたが、県境を越えての合併ということで埼玉県の了解が得られず、合併促進派と残県派が激しく争った結果、二本木地区の多くを残したまま合併することになりました。 | Both Moto-Sayama village and Mizuho had long been interested in a merger, the former being linked by close commercial and transportation ties, and the latter needing land for expansion to replace the crop-field lost to the air base. Despite having lobbied the relevant parties for this, the approval of Saitama Prefecture was not given because such a merger would change the prefectural boundary. As a result of the conflict between the pro-merger group and those preferring to remain in Saitama Prefecture, it was decided to merge but at the cost of leaving behind a large area of the Nihongi district. |
| 35年から石畑地区に都営住宅が建設され、それに自然増も加わって、35年に1万人を越えた人口が40年までに1万5千人を突破。 | The town population exceeded 10,000 in 1960 and further increased beyond 15,000 by 1965, as a result of the metropolitan housing construction in the Ishihata area since 1960, as well as through natural increase. |
| 39年には東京オリンピックが開催され、瑞穂町民も聖火リレーに参加しました。そしてこの年、茶協同組合が茶の冷凍倉庫を完成させています。 | In 1964 when the Tokyo Olympic Games were held, Mizuho townsmen also took part in the torch relay. In the same year, tea cooperatives completed the refrigerated warehouse for their tea. |
| 瑞穂町は戦中・戦後の困窮時代を払拭し、新しい町へと生まれ変わっていきました。 | By now, Mizuho town had left behind the impoverished conditions of wartime and the post-war era and was emerging as a completely new town. |
