Nyssa, Oregon (vicinity). This family was evacuated from a coastal area to a reception center. Subsequently they volunteered for farm work and moved to the camp. From there they were hired as a group by a local white farmer. They will be allowed to remain on this farm for the duration of the war. When such an arrangement is made the U.S. Employment Service must inspect and approve housing facilities and wage standards
