Full title:Before the fish pond on his orchard and vegetable farm near San Jose stand Squire Shigio Masunaga, his 77-year-old
father, Takamatsu, Mrs. (Hiroko) Masunaga and Pat, aged 5, and Eric, the young and only son. The family arrived in San Jose
from Alda, Nebraska, via Heart Mountain and are living at Route 2, Box 383, San Jose, California. Shig has been mighty busy
growing cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables--the orchard is leased for this year--but not too busy to declare time out
for many civic duties. Among other things Shig is president of the recently activated San Jose Chapter of J.A.C.L., a member
of the San Jose Council for Civic Unity and Secretary of the Hostel Board of Governors. The Masunaga family have as duration
guests, Mrs. Masunaga's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Kodama, and their three children. Five of the Kodama boys are in the
Army and the balance of the family is waiting out the war at the Masunaga ranch. Shig has two brothers in the army, George
in Germany and Shiro in Texas.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> San Jose, California.
