Full title:Mr. Yokichi Oyakawa pauses for a picture as he leads the main source of the family's milk supply from the pasture to the barn on the Dr. Sydney Walker, estate where he and his family are employed. Dr. Walker is a retired eye surgeon from Chicago and a veteran of World War I. He is a real champion of the Japanese Americans and will go to bat with anybody and everybody who would deny the evacuees the right to return to their homes. He is enthusiastic in his praise of the Oyakawa and allows them practically all the privileges of his estate, even to the use of his beautiful swimming pool. Oyakawa is head gardener and his son, Evan, helps when not attending classes at UCLA, where he is a student. The daughter, Lily, holds the position of maid. The family occupies their own modern home just a few yards from that of the doctor and his wife.<lb /> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb /> Northridge, California.
