Full title:To have a home of your own again with private bedrooms, baths, and the like, is a welcome change from life in a
relocation center, says the Yamadas, who now live in Peoria, Illinois, after several months in a Poston center. Mr. Kelly
Yamada (right) works as an optician in a local optical firm. His wife, Sally, is brushing the hair of their younger son, Terence,
who is 18 months old, and already seems interested in the magazine his daddy has. The Yamadas have another son, Dexter, five
years old, and in their home, which they rent in Peoria, also live Mrs. Yamada's parents. Mr. Yamada is pleased with his work
in Peoria and glad to have his entire family together again. Yamada was one of the first resettlers in Peoria and was joined
by his family in July, 1943, and his parents-in-law came to Peoria the following month. Mr. Yamada was formerly a manager
of three optician shops in Oakland, California.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Peoria, Illinois.
