Full title:Toyone Maeda smiles as he starts out with his truck to do a small job of moving for another resettler family. With
his wife Masuye, he operates a boarding house and trucking business on Chicago's south side, and both he and his wife are
happy to be independent of bosses and to be earning their own living. Mr. Maeda says that he could work 24 hours out of the
day with his truck if he took care of all the business which is available to him. Someday Mr. and Mrs. Maeda hope to again
become hog raising farmers which was their occupation at Buena Park, California, before evacuation, but in the meantime they
are staunch advocates of relocation and are happy in their Chicago home. Mr. and Mrs. Maeda left Manzanar with their two sons,
Sam and Jimmy, early in 1943 and after a year's farming in Utah came to Chicago to establish the business they are now operating.<lb/>
