Block shopping in Delta, Central Utah Relocation Project, Topaz, Utah, 1942-1944

A woman with a flipped forelock of hair and cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, sits in a bus and looks to her right at a military policeman inspecting the purchases of passengers returning from a shopping trip to Delta. As restrictions in camp eased, residents were selected to receive special permits to shop for their blocks. Passengers on the bus carry parcels or bags on their laps. A broom, bottle of vinegar, birdcage and box of soup are among the items visible.
