Tsukasa Sakuma Growing Berries At Manzanar
Special to the Review.

CAMP MANZANAR, Calif.-- Wednesday, April 22--Bainbridge Island's famed strawberries still will be grown under the care of Japanese growers, but in a far removed clime this summer, it was disclosed today.

For when Tsukasa Sakuma was evacuated from his Winslow home, he brought with him in airtight containers some of his best certified Chesapeake and Red Cap variety strawberry plants. Now, despite a blazing hot sun and a scarcity of water, Mr. Sakuma is "nursing" his plants along. He contends the plants will bear fruit this summer.

The Manzanar Free Press, a four-page mimeographed twice-weekly publication edited by residents here, has made its appearance. In one of its earlier editions was a feature article describing Bainbridge Island and tracing the history of some of the early Japanese settlers who were employed at the Port Blakely Mill.
