Full title:Shown at the entrance to their new home, a cottage set in an apple orchard on the outskirts of Wilmington, Delaware, are Mr. and Mrs. Tom Toyoji Yamane, Issei from the Gila River Relocation Center, and their four children. From left to right they are Masao, 2 ; Mariko, 7 ; Michiko, 10 ; and Atsushi, 13. The entire family left Gila River together in June 1944 and resided temporarily at the New York hostel while Mr. Yamune worked out the family's resettlement plans with the aid of the WRA relocation offices in New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Yamane is now manager of the produce department in a new food store operated by the Wilmington Cooperative Society, Inc. Members of the co-op helped him find the cottage the Yamanes now occupy, and neighbors lent or gave them many household articles when they moved in. Mariko, Michiko, and Atsushi attend a nearby school. Atsushi recently joined a troop of Boy Scouts in the adjacent town of Arden, Delaware. Before evacuation Mr. Yamane had his own produce business for four years at Huntington, California. His brothers Hideichi and Mitsuzo are at Gila River. Mrs. Yamane's mother, Mrs. Taki Fujii, is at Heart Mountain, and her brother Jim is in Denver, Colorado.<lb /> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb /> Wilmington, Delaware.
