Full title:Before the fish pond on his orchard and vegetable farm near San Jose stand Squire Shigio Masunaga, his 77-year-old father, Takamatsu, Mrs. (Hiroko) Masunaga and Pat, aged 5, and Eric, the young and only son. The family arrived in San Jose from Alda, Nebraska, via Heart Mountain and are living at Route 2, Box 383, San Jose, California. Shig has been mighty busy growing cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables--the orchard is leased for this year--but not too busy to declare time out for many civic duties. Among other things Shig is president of the recently activated San Jose Chapter of J.A.C.L., a member of the San Jose Council for Civic Unity and Secretary of the Hostel Board of Governors. The Masunaga family have as duration guests, Mrs. Masunaga's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Kodama, and their three children. Five of the Kodama boys are in the Army and the balance of the family is waiting out the war at the Masunaga ranch. Shig has two brothers in the army, George in Germany and Shiro in Texas.<lb /> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb /> San Jose, California.
