Full title:East meets West! New York born troops say Hi Yah to Californians of Japanese descent returning to their former homes after residence of three years in the Rohwer Center, McGehee, Arkansas. Mrs. Eunice Kurisu, returning to her former home in Los Angeles, holds up her charming daughter, Joyce Anne, 3-1/2 months old, for admiring gaze of husky Yanks. The baby's father, and fond husband of Eunice, is a member of the armed forces in the European theatre. The returnees and Caucasian personnel reported a satisfactory and uneventful trip from Rohwer to California over lines of four railways and with equipment varying from a fairly modern cafe car to antiquated wooden coaches of the gaslight era. A tourist sleeper was reserved for the aged and a few who were ill. Disembarking at various stations between Sacramento and Los Angeles, the returnees found many friends to greet them, both Caucasian and Japanese Americans, and the unanimous verdict of all was, We're glad to be home!<lb /> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb /> Los Angeles, California.
