Full title:A soldier and his mother at a strawberry field. The soldier, age 23, volunteered July 10, 1941, and is stationed
at Camp Leonard Wood, Missouri. He was furloughed to help his mother and family prepare for their evacuation. He is the youngest
of six children, two of them volunteers in the U.S. Army. The mother, age 53, came from Japan 37 years ago. Her husband died
21 years ago, leaving her to raise six children. She worked in a strawberry basket factory until last year when her children
leased three acres of strawberries so she wouldn't have to work for somebody else. The family is Buddhist. This is her youngest
son. Her second son is in the army stationed at Ft. Bliss. 453 families are to be evacuated from this area.<lb/> Photographer:
