Before the Evacuation

Centerville, California.  Members of farming families are pictured as they left for Centerville, one mile away, to board evacuation bus.  These women worked at so-called "stoop labor,"  chiefly cultivating tomatoes.  Farmers and other evacuees of Japanese ancestry will be given opportunities to follow their callings at War Relocation Authority centers.
