This correspondent received a letter recently from Paul Ohtaki, former writer of this column, telling what the Bainbridge youths who went to Chicago are now doing. Paul is working in a print and lithograph shop in the city, while his brother, Pete, is doing his duty as a carpenter in a trailer manufacturing company. Shig Moritani is working in a store as a shipping clerk, and Ikuko Amatatsu works as a traveler's aid. Tosh Chihara and "Bear" Omoto are at their machines in a wax paper firm, while Tak Sakuma is a shipping clerk in a glass factory.
