Full title:John Della Maggoire, San Jose orchardist, is one Santa Clara County rancher who solved the housing shortage for his recently arrived evacuee help by gathering up odds and ends of lumber until he scraped together a couple of houses. He is shown here with two of his workmen, Toy Sakae from Poston and Hisajiro Inouye from Gila, and the two Della Maggoire sons, Richard and Armand. Roy, 23 and 4F, is helping Della Maggoire build to house the Sakae family (preevacuation address, San Juan) including his father, Ichiro, his mother Kosuye, and his sisters, Katie, Lily and Marylan and brother, Shizuo. His brother, Henry, is a recent army inductee. Hisajiro Inouye, too, is employed on the Della Maggoire Housing project. He resides on his own ranch where the entire Inouye family recently relocated on Gish Road near San Jose. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru San Jose, California.
