The Roundup

Byron, California.  Field laborers of Japanese ancestry from a large (Sacramento River) delta ranch have assembled at Wartime Civil Control Administration station to receive instructions for evacuation which is to be effective in three days.  They are arguing about whether or not they should return to the ranch to work for the remaining days or whether they shall spend that time on their personal affairs.
