Description
Full title:Propping prune trees is only one of the many chores which occupy the relocation days of Akira Ichikawa, who arrived in San Jose recently from Heart Mountain via relocation in Detroit. He was thus engaged on the orchard of William Tuso near Cupertino when the camera man caught up with him. Akira and his sister, Rose, came to San Jose early in June to look for housing for their parents and the three younger children. The search ended when the Tuso family, owners of several fine orchards, employed Akira and made splendid housing available for the family. Rose took a position in Palo Alto. Recently Akira brought the entire family except brothers Tom and James, who are in Detroit, from Heart Mountain. Now they are comfortably installed and all who are able are helping harvest Santa Clara County's big cot crop. The Tusos are real Americans, says Akira. They have done much to help us get started. To which William Tuso replies, We have a splendid and happy family. They are deserving and it is a real pleasure to help smooth their path back to normal life. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru San Jose, California.
