70 YEARS AGO

A program on Americanism, directed by Mrs. Foster Crosby, highlighted the Christmas party of Sidney Chapter, DAR Wednesday in the Community House. Mrs. Crosby, in a reading on Communism in this country, described a devotee to Communism as a fanatic who lives only for his party, placing that above everything. She urged Americans to exert themselves to spread Americanism so others may realize how necessary freedom is in our way of life. Howard Dunbar, faculty member of Sidney Central School, introduced members of his Americanization class who have come to us from foreign shores. Among those introduced at the gathering was Miss Eva Sjagren, who came from Helsinki, Finland in January 1950. Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Kaiser emigrated from Stuttgart, Germany in November 1952. Mrs. Hedwig Riesen came from St. Gallen, Switzerland in 1922.
