 To go back to Talabae's precedents. We learn that hls fathers parents were the poorest ones in the tribe, and also his father. who up to the age of 9. when he was married, was praeti= cally penniless and working as a shepard for others for a wage of about S4O.0O a year But. he poss- essed something better than money; he was a man of courage, initiative, integrity. business judgment, and most of all, thrift. Through these valuable qualities. even though he was illiterate at the age of 40. he was not only one of the most success ful business men there. but he was one of the leaders of his community, and became well known and admired, not only within that section. but in other countries. as we'll as in their na- tive country.

 By the first part of November. 19l3 he managed Co leave this place and go into Serbia only to find that coun- try at war. This was complete sur prise 10 him. The Great war had been going on for four months. the Germans were near Paris. but Leon had not heard anything about it. As he got back to the civilized world, he sent word to his mother. who up to that time. did not know whether he was alive or dead, advising her that he was bound for America. He then left Serbia and, after brief stay in different European countries arrived in New York on January l, 1915. A week after, he filed q declaration to become citizen. After short stay in New York he came Co 0rosvenor- dale to meet some of his relatives,

Business Man at II

Leon. at the time he was II years old had just completed his grammar school work. His father, as l already mentioned, being an illiterate to such an extent that he never knew how to write his own name, was compelled 10 call on his son to take care of his confidential affairs. Leon. however did more than that. Within a short period he took charge of all his ia thers financial transactions and ac- counts and at the age of fifteen he had gained a great deal of experience especially of the foreign work. This gained him prominence among differ eut business men on account of his immature age. Business was prosper ing every year and 1t seemed that happiness reigned, not only in the Talabac home, but also the homes of all their friends and relatives. But, was this to last much longer? No, reverses were to follow soon. After the Balkan war of 1913. the old hated church intrigue that the Greeks had for the Roumanians revived. Once again the Greeks determined either to force the Roumanians to come back to their church or destroy them.
