81. Lee, Russell, 1903-1986 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."

82. If the Bakers' Union Knew. What goes on in Montenegro among the followers of their craft, there would be a great to-do. For after a baker gets done baking, he goes out himself and peddles the bread. Like the picture, the bread is carried on a long board, containing thirty three loaves weighing five pounds each some load. But while the housewives can't complain of the service, the American doctors and nurses who are fighting the American doctors and nurses who are fighting disease in the Balkan country don't like the method. It is unsanitary and many cases of disease have been traced to it, according to the Americans. This custom and many others connected with the food supply, the Americans are trying to correct in aiding Montenegro to get on its feet again

84. Dirt Worth Dollar A Pound. Plain black dirt is worth a dollar a pound in this Montenegrin village. All the black soil in the village could be swept up and hauled away in a five ton truck. When American Red Cross relief workers found this town all the food in the village had been consumed and ninety-five percent of the population was ill and starving. Scores of Montenegrin villages were in the same situation. For centuries they have been obliged to import food to piece out their meager ration. When the food shortage came on during the last years of war towns like this were scarcely able to keep alive. Survivors who were given Red Cross food are the youths and middle aged folk. The very old and very young are dead. Those who lived try their best to make their little garden plots produce February 1920 [date received]
