Greater Cincinnati
Mr. Eugene S. Howard, who has been spending the week in
Montreal, Canada, will return home today. Mr. Howard has been present at the
National Conference of Social Work, and as Director of Cincinnati Citizen
Council was asked to take part in the program.
He talked before the assembled delegates on Tuesday,
describing the interesting classes that are conducted in Cincinnati for the
foreign-born, the socializing effect that they have had, especially upon the
women, who are now visiting outside their homes and organizing English circles
in an effort to carry on their class work.
Upon his return Mr. Howard will devote a large part of his
time to preparing for New Citizens’ Day, which will be celebrated at the Zoo
June 30. He is working with Mr. Carl Giesse, General Chairman of the celebration,
in making plans for the program. Mayor Russell Wilson will make a speech of
welcome to all of those who have become citizens within the past year.
The reception and program will be open to American as well
as foreign-born citizens and Mr. D. B. Meacham, Chairman of the Citizenship
Council, extends a cordial invitation to all civic-minded men and women to
enjoy the reception.
