Full title:Evan assists his father, Yokichi Oyakawa, in trimming the ornamental hedges which surrounds the estate of Dr. Sydney
Walker, where they are employed. The hand clippers help him to keep himself in trim. His father is seen using an electrically
operated cutter. Dr. Walker is a retired eye surgeon from Chicago and a veteran of World War I. He is a real champion of the
Japanese Americans and will go to bat with anybody and everybody who would deny the evacuees the right to return to their
homes. He is enthusiastic in his praise of the Oyakawas and allows them practically all the privileges of his estate, even
to the use of his beautiful swimming pool. Oyakawa is head gardener and his son, Evan, helps when not attending classes at
UCLA, where he is a student. The daughter, Lily, holds the position of maid. The family occupies their own modern home just
a few yards from that of the doctor and his wife.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Northridge, California.
