  • Juno 25, 1945 Shibutani 1. While I Was Showing My Identification, to Have a Che6'k Cashed in One of the Booths on 6
    Field Notes: Juno 25, 1945 Shibutani 1. While I was showing my identification, to have a che6'k cashed in one of the booths on 65rd Street, I overheard one clerk who was reading my card, *Is he one of them Japs?" The other turned around and indicated that she didn't know and gave me my money. 2. Tomi and I walked into Pixley and Ellers cafeteria and as we walked in the man at the front very politely handed us our tickets on which the amount of mono we spend is stamped. Since it was rather late at night there was not much food left so we decided to leave without buying anything. As wo walked out, leaving the unstamped ticket with him, he said in a loud voice, "What in the hell did those dirty Japs come in her for, if they didn't ant to buy anything?" 3. Out of desperation, because we were getting very hungry, we walked into Gimbol's restaurant without realizing how expensive the place was. As we walked in the head waitress came to ard us with her nose pointed in the usual direction and said, as usual, Table for two?' It was at that time that she noticed that we were orientals and she seemed ^o be stunned for a moment. It seemed that she did not know what to do and for a half minute stood there look­ ing very helpless. She looked over to the cashier, but the cashier was busy. After this momentary hesitation, she turned around and led un to a table in the corner.

Introduction The influx of the Japanese and their American-born children to the Mid-west has been, until recently, in such small numbers that v/e cannot speak of it in terms of waves of migration. The vanguard came many decades ago from the Pacific Coast and had long before the war made their homes in this area* After the attack on Pearl Harbor many migrated voluntarily in order to escape evacuation. D uring the fall of 1942 and early in 1933, a few more appeared in the area, most to attend schools. The migration in large numbers did not begin until the spring and summer of 1943 when the governmental policy became that of getting as many people out of relocation centers as possible.
