San Bruno, California. This scene shows one type of barracks for family use. These were formerly the stalls for race horses. Each family is assigned to two small rooms, the inner one, of which, has not outside door or window. The center has been in operation about six weeks and 8,000 evacuees of Japanese ancestry are now assembled there.
