TN no other country Of the world
are there so many opportunities
for those born in humble circum-
stances to achieve success as in Amer
lea. Here the greatest honors have
been given to the men who were born
poor, whether in politics or business
life. Our greatest presidents, our great
est lawyers, our greatest merchants and
our greatest leaders in industry were
poor boys, and many of these lawyers,
merchants, and industrial leaders were
immigrants from Europe. The wise
men who founded this government and
devised the Constitution which made
all these things possible were deter
mined that in America opportunity
and the chance to succeed should be
open to all, whether native born or
immigrant, rich or poor.
Whatever industry we may choose
to look into, we find that many of
its foremost leaders were immigrant
boys who achieved success BY their
own efforts and industry. In the fruit
industry we have Joseph DiGeorgia,
who was q fruit peddler in Italy, and
his brother Samuel DiGeorgia. These
men, immigrant boys few years ago,
are now fruit merchants of country
wide fame and owners of many tropi-
cal fruit carrying transportation lines.
Another leader in this industry is Jo-
seph A. Steinhardt, who was q wagon
boy not many years ago. He is now
known to every dealer in the United
States. Andrew Spada, still under
forty years of age, landed in America

w. A. Camp is another example OF
what a man can do in America by hard

of fruit and produce is sold each year

Much of this is sold by Hugh Con.

is an inspiration to every poor boy in
America. He has made the "Sunkisto

the meaning of the fund and how the

inquiries Mrs. Jack stated that the
fund was created for the purpose of
sending women speakers and workers
into the rural districts for the benefit
of remote communities. 1t was voted
that full record of money on hand
and money received should be sent to
federated clubs with full explanations
as to the purposes of the fund
At this point in the proceedings Mrs
Marsh of Providence, r. l., addressed
the gathering as a special guest of

Her address was eloquently given and
greatly appreciated.

home demonstration extension work.
Miss Rosalind Jewett of Orono,
State director of home demonstration
activities, said that it was because of
lac kof funds that every county in

at some length into the details of this
work among the farmers wives and
