Full title:(Left to right) Chiaki Osumi, Akiko Higake from Gila River; Shirley Erickson; Ruth Michiko Kodama from Colorado
River; instructor Ella Woodrow; Norma Wilson and Mary Sudderth in Dressmaking Class at Frank Wiggins Trade School, Los Angeles.
(Miss Wilson modeling a dress made by the class.) The Frank Wiggins Trade School, a free public school, welcomes Nisei. They
aren't Japanese, they are Americans, Miss Woodrow says. We find them very quick to learn, and can get them jobs as soon as
they are ready. Students can enter any time. Los Angeles shops pay 75 cents to $1.15 an hour to our graduates. Two Nisei girls
who recently were in this dressmaking class are now working in Los Angeles dress shops. And the school also welcomes back
former students who would like to brush up. Write to the Registrar at Venice Blvd. & Olive Streets, Los Angeles, for literature.<lb/>
