Full title:As parts man in the Baltimore, Maryland garage of the Sun Cab Company, Masao Yano is doing the kind of work he
knows and enjoys from long experience. He was formerly parts manager of garage at the Colorado River Relocation Center and,
for nine years prior to evacuation, parts manager of the Chevrolet agency in Delano, California. Six other evacuees are employed
as mechanics by the Baltimore cab company, which operates 220 taxis and employs more than 500 men. The company's president
said Masao, whom he hired during a visit to Poston, is an AAA-1 man, just the man I was seeking for this job for a long time.
He is right at home in our parts department. When he started to work we didn't have to show or tell him anything. He knew
just what had to be done. Masao plans to bring his wife and two children, Douglas, 3, and Barbara, 8 months, from Colorado
River to Baltimore in the near future. He also hopes later on to bring his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hidetano Yano, from Colorado
River. Mrs. Yano's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Yemoto, recently went to Gila River on the closing of Jerome.<lb/> Photographer:
