Full title:As Eugene Matsushige returns to his home in Baltimore, Maryland, from a week-end visit with friends, he is greeted
by his sisters, Opal and Lily. They live with their mother, Mrs. Manuel Matsushige, a naturalized citizen of Spanish-Mexican
extraction, in an apartment they are occupying temporarily until a home which the family recently purchased in another part
of Baltimore is available for their occupancy. The family relocated to Baltimore in November 1943 from the Colorado River
Relocation Center, where Mr. Matsushige died the preceding May. Prior to evacuation, the Matsushiges owned a farm at Holtville,
Calif. Now Mrs. Matsushige is employed by a pretzel-manufacturing company; Lily works as a clerk in the Baltimore office of
the Social Security Board; Opal attends Western High School; and Eugene attends City College High School and works part-time
in the office of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Lily was married last February to Technician 5, Tom
Sakemi, who is now overseas with the anti-tank unit of the 442 Combat Team.<lb/> Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen<lb/> Baltimore,
