Jerome Relocation Center, Denson, Arkansas. An adult education class at the Jerome Center, where a housewife prepares a wall plaque of artificial flowers, made form tissue paper. Afternoon and evening classes of home decorative arts are very popular among center residents, former west coast persons of Japanese ancestry, who attempt to soften the barren walls of their barracks homes with art objects of their own handiwork.
