Title:

There is work in the fruit harvest for everyone in Santa Clara County, California, but the Ichikawa youngsters also find time for play. Shown here Toshiro and Richard are taking time out for a bit of fun on the Tuso Brothers ranch near San Jose, where the entire Ichikawa family, except James and Tom, was recently relocated by big brother, Akira. James and Tom are employed in defense work in Detroit and sister Rose is working in nearby Palo Alto. Prior to evacuation to Heart Mountain, the Akira Ichikawas resided in the Watsonville section over the hill from San Jose, on Akira's vegetable farm. Now, they plan to remain in this district, where all of the family may find profitable and healthful working in the orchards during the entire school vacations. With Akira are Mr. and Mrs. Toshiro Ichikawa, Richard, May and Ben and Akira. The Ichikawas have several Japanese neighbors nearby. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru -- San Jose, California. 7/8/45
