Coming to the United States in 1923, he married and after the birth of his first child worked his way through high school the University of Wisâ€" consin and theological seminary. Deeply appreciative of the opporâ€" tunities afforded him under the American system, he has made the preaching of Americanism literally an avocation. A forceful and comâ€" manding speaker, he has had no litâ€" tle part in promulgation of the citiâ€" zenship training idea. It is the plan of the committee to make this event an annual affair and to foster sponsorship of future citizens by this years participants.

The circulation of scopes and views from the Highâ€" land Park Public library continues to grow and would undoubtedly be larger if there were more scopes. Total circulation from the main liâ€" brary is 33,225, comprising 20,723 fiction and 8211 nonâ€"fiction. Primâ€" ers and easy readers number 3,651. Total circulation of scopes and views are 326 and 22,077 respectively. Another avenueâ€" for introducing good literature is the story hour. Folklore, myths, stories of past and present, stories inspirational as well as for information are the stock in trade.

Gifts from the children and P.â€"T. A. at Oak Terrace school in Highâ€" wood made the purchase of a numâ€" ber of books possible for that collecâ€" tion. _ Proceeds of a West Ridge fair went to buy new books for the library at that school.
