Full title:A concrete example of how Japanese-Americans may progress in American industry outside the centers is here illustrated by Bill Sasagawa, age 28, who formerly was from the Topaz Center. Bill went to work for the City Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Kansas City, Missouri, in November of last year as a Junior Draftsman. Three weeks later he was advanced to Senior Draftsman with a comparable pay hike, and just recently was made a Junior Planner. He is well liked by fellow employees, has a host of friends in Kansas City, Missouri, and enjoys his work extremely well. The City's Personnel Department will employ other persons of Japanese descent in various types of work. The pay is good, working conditions are favorable and the jobs will go on after the war.
