Title:

John Della Maggiore, San Jose orchardist and his evacuee friend and employee, Hisajiro Inouye, have much in common. Not the least is that each have sons in the army of the United States. Inouye's son, Paul, is in basic training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Housing is desperate, said Mr. Della Maggiore. So we are building temporary shelter for our returning Japanese employees. Where did I get the lumber? That's a secret. You see, I am going back for more as soon as I can persuade another of my Japanese families to come home. The Inouye family recently arrived from Gila. They are located on their ranch in Gish Road, Route 2, Box 506, San Jose. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru -- San Jose, California. 7/14/45
