Full title:In their smartly furnished upstairs apartment in the Rockford residential section, the Oda family spends many pleasant
evenings together. With her three daughters working all day, Mrs. Oda is happy when evening comes and the family can gather
in the living room to read, study, or just to talk and listen to the radio. Left to right are: Sumi, a stock clerk and a student
at the Rockford Business College; Fumi, a bookkeeper; Ariye, a cost accountant and also a business college student; and Mrs.
Ariye Oda. Ariye and Sumi attend business college two nights a week for advance study. The Oda family is formerly from Sacramento,
California and the Tule Lake Relocation Center. Mrs. Oda has two sons, Philip, a sergeant at Camp Shelby, and Hiromi, a shipping
clerk in New York. The Odas have been in Rockford several months and have found the city much to their liking. They have made
many new friends and have found their new jobs interesting. In the picture, Sumi is studying her homework, Ariye is looking
for her favorite continued story, while Fumi and her mother are looking at the newspaper. By the lamp in the background is
a picture of Sgt. Philip Oda.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Rockford, Illinois.
