Description
Full title:Johnny Mishima (left) and George Tanaka have just completed the process of chrome plating a machined part at a plant in Cleveland. Johnny, from Heart Mountain, where his father still resides, had been on the job only 10 days when the picture was taken; lives with the foreman of the shop; makes 75 cents an hour. At Heart Mountain he was physical education instructor in the [high] school. George Tanaka, from Minidoka Relocation Center, where he was a foreman with the internal security division, operated his own grocery store in Portland, Oregon, before evacuation. He and his wife live temporarily with a minister while looking for a place of their own. Not as good as being in business for yourself, but a lot better than being in a relocation center, he says. His wife works as a sewing machine operator in a textile establishment making clothing for the Navy. Photographer: Brumbach Cleveland, Ohio.
