Mr. Anthony B. Thomas, one of the leading druggists of San Leandro and also a three-term city coucilman, is of Portuguese descent. His father, a whaler who was born on the Flores Island of the Azores, and his mother came to the United States and settled in Provincetown, Massachusetts eighty-five years ago. In 1882 the entire family came overland to the East Bay area and established their home in San Leandro which was fast becoming a thriving Portuguese community. Mr. Thomas' father wanted him to be a whaler, but after finishing high school, he decided that he would prefer to be a druggist and studied to that purpose. The people of San Leandro, in recognition of his ability as a leader, have elected him three times a member of the five-man council board. Mr. Thomas says, "We are all Americans now and I am proud to be part of a democratic government and always want to do my share on any democratic government and planning board."

Mrs. Mary N. Silveira, who is managing editor of the Portuguese Journal, was born in the Azores Islands. She and her husband have owned and published this Portuguese paper since 1917. Mr. Silveira has been sick for the last five years and Mrs. Silveira has been in full charge of the paper. "Through the medium of this Portuguese language newspaper, we are able to reach those older members of the community and state who have not learned the English language. Many of those people speak English, but as far as the written language is concerned we have been mostly interested in giving to the Portuguese a full coverage of local, national and international news because we believe that by this way the people of Portuguese descent become better citizens of the United States." says Mrs. Silveira
