Full title:Miss Alice Uchiyama, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Katsuzo Uchiyama, recent relocatees from Poston Center, pulling turnips on the vegetable farm of her uncle, Sam Isamu Uchiyama near Mountain View, California. Besides her parents, Alice has a sister, Kasumi, and three brothers, James, Charles, and William, in the family. Two older brothers are in the Army. Kazuo is in Germany and Alvin Eizo is in Italy. Until summer vacation came, Kasumi and William were attending school in Denver. When the Uchiyama youngsters are not employed in the vegetables being grown by the family, they are picking fruit on nearby orchards of Caucasian neighbors. Everyone is nice to us, Alice said. In the stores, ice cream parlors, on the street or working in the orchards, people treat us as friends and as American citizens. It is good to be back home in California where everyone in the family except father and mother were born. All of the children who have not graduated will enter the Mountain View schools this coming fall term.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Mountain View, California.
