Description
Full title:Two evacuees working for a nursery at Monroe, Michigan, relax at the end of the day. They are Dean Ono on the left and Harry Kaku on the right. Sitting with them is Howard D. Fashbaugh, vice president and general manager of the nursery. Before evacuation, Ono was a farmer in the Los Angeles area, Kaku a fruit-picker in Lindsay, [illegible]. They were among the group of 17 evacuees from the Jerome Center who took jobs with the nursery early this spring. Others in the group were Kay Nakayama, Tom Hayashi, George Muyata, Jim [Nakayama ?] and Fred Shimaski [?]. In telling of the first friendly reception they received at the hands of the townspeople, the Detroit News declared, Monroe has bumped shoulders with these evacuees on the streets, at the movies and soda fountains, and found them just as American as Yankee Doodle and ham and eggs.
