Full title:The Otas of Gila River Relocation Center are again receiving their mail at the old address near Carpenteria, California. Mrs. Hide Ota, shown here, her husband, K. Ota, and their two sons, Kenji, 30, and Minoru, 18, returned to their thirty-five acre lemon ranch on March 31, 1945. They found the place pretty well run down and weedy but all have been hard at work getting it back into shape. A portion of the orchard will have to be replanted due to neglect, but many of the trees are producing and the lemons are finding a ready market.<lb /> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb /> Carpenteria, California.
