Mrs. Helen L.C. Lawrence who was born in Portugal and came to the United States and San Leandro, California when she was a young girl. She has always been active in civic affairs and was elected a member of the five-member council of San Leandro. The five members of the council elect a mayor from their group and Mrs. Lawrence was honored with this position. "I say honored though it has been mostly hard work. I was proud that I, a Portuguese by birth, should be deemed worthy of this office. The Portuguese people are well aware of the very great privileges they enjoy as citizens of this country and we all strive to be just as aware of the duties that citizenship brings."

Mr. John Oiveira, a dairy farmer near San Leandro, California. His parents were born in Portugal but he and his son, Mr. A.J. Oliveira, who is cashier of First National Bank of San Leandro, were born in the United States. The Portuguese people have become important in the dairying business throughout the entire state of California and now control at least seventy percent of the dairy business of the state. Mr. Oliveira milks about seventy cows daily. "Our favorite stories when I was a child were those which my father and mother told us about their homeland of Portugal. My wife and I have had a good life in the U.S. and we are proud to see our son an honored man of the community. All of us, we are as American as fried chicken now."

Mr. H. Ormand, who is a leading jeweler in San Leandro, California, came to the United States from the Azores Islands twenty-three years ago when he was seventeen years old. For three years he lived in San Francisco and then moved to Oakland where he worked in a jewelry store for ten years. In 1932 he opened his own store in San Leandro. Mr. Ormond and his wife have worked long hours to build their establishment and now hold a respected position in the social and business life of San Leandro. Mr. Ormond said, "I received my education as a boy in the Azores but I have found that all the things that I learned there as well as the principles of honesty amd integrity and thrift and industry that my parents taught me have served me well in my adopted country. While I now speak a different language, all the principles of life in the United States and the Azores are the same."

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

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
