Full title:This picture shows Peter Osuga standing in front of Hostel No. 1, located at 327 O Street, Sacramento, California.
Mr. Osuga was one of the first of the evacuees to relocate in this area and prior to evacuation he owned and operated a cleaning
establishment here. He became affiliated with the Relocation Program. He was instrumental in starting the first hostel and
has worked untiringly in assisting relocatees, meeting the trains which pass through Sacramento, entertaining relocatees during
their stop-over here and assisting them in boarding other trains or busses whenever they have to proceed to other parts of
the state. Along with Hostel No. 1 he assists with Hostels No. 2 and No. 3 and it is estimated that some 500 evacuees have
enjoyed the hospitality of these hostels either as visitors or guests. Mr. Osuga's assistance to the Sacramento Office has
been most helpful and his is continually on the job day and night. Mr. Osuga originally relocated from Heart Mountain and
has two boys in the United States Army.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Sacramento, California.
