Full title:Mrs. Yoshiko Joan Nakatsu, wife of Itaru Nakatsu, recent relocatees in the Mountain View section of California
from Gila, working in the turnips on the Sam Isamu Uchiyama vegetable farm. Mr. and Mrs. Nakatsu have their four children
Naomi, Herbert, James, and Kenneth back in a real if humble home, as they put it. I don't know from experiences much about
public reception, said Nakatsu. Everyone is working in the vegetables or in nearby orchards, contributing our bit to the war
effort by producing food. If anything, people seem to be more friendly--more tolerant and sympathetic--than before evacuation.
In the Nakatsu and Uchiyama families the girls are learning to cook, to shop, to care for the home and otherwise to live again
like ordinary Americans. I am afraid home was only a word to me before evacuation, Mrs. Nakatsu said. Now that we are really
back I find that Home is one of the most meaningful words in our language.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Mountain
