Full title:Since coming to New York City in the spring of 1944 from the Gila River Relocation Center, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Hara
and their son Howard, 3, have been living in a 3-room apartment which they found by answering an advertisement in a local
newspaper. Before evacuation to the Turlock Assembly Center in May 1942, Mr. Hara, a native of Honolulu, was a gardener, and
Mrs. Hara, who was born in Los Angeles, was a beautician in that city. Now Mr. Hara is a bar waiter in the night club of a
New York hotel, and Mrs. Hara is employed in a beauty parlor a few minutes' walk from her home. While at Gila River, where
the Hara family arrived in July 1942, Mr. Hara was a mess timekeeper, and Mrs. Hara was a beautician in the cooperative beauty
shop. Mr. Hara left the center for New York last April, and a few weeks later was joined by Mrs. Hara and their son. Mrs.
Hara's father, Sam Saito, and her two brothers, James and Joseph, are at Heart Mountain.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/>
