he was sent down to Tours with the
French, where he handled all ship
ments out of that city. He was dis
charged in Wyoming in July, 1919.
He became assistant chemist with
an oil company for about a year. In
the interval he married Miss Helen M.
Fry, a former schoolmate at the Uni
versity of Denver. She was of a fam
lily of teachers and Cross thoughts
turned to that profession. He went in
for more schooling-economics, soci-
ology and political science-and then
became superintendent of a consoli-
dated school. In 1928 he became head
of the department of economics at the
Colorado School of Mines.
He also became a lecturer at the
Denver opportunity school," That
was a turning point for him, the thing
which led directly to his appointment
as director of the Americanism COM
mission. He gave lectures of advice,
inspiration. information. He touched
on anything which would be generally
helpful to the fo~reignIborn seeking TO
become American citizens and to play
their part as such. He had two
thoughts in mind. One was to give
| all The information necessary to pass
the naturalization examination. The
other was to give them IN understand
Ing and appreciation Of America, OF
what the country stands for, of Its
history, its institutions, its customs. It's
| Ideals. its aspirations-and to inspire
them to live good American citizens.
"Just better citizenship" is the way
he sums ii up.
Helping to make out the questions
for teacher examinations in the Colo
RADIO schools. the new director found
out that many of the teachers. espe-
cially IA outlying districts, knew less
than a Kid ought to know about the
fundamentals of Americanism. So he
| organized an Americanism section In
the state Education association. he
also formed the Allied Council Tor

the various patriotic societies OF the
state.

Although Frank Clay Cross, new di-
rector of the national Americanism
commission of the American Legion.
has spent much of his life, as he says,
''above the clouds" far up the sides of
Colorado mountains just at the timber
line, he measures up to a family ira
dition of grasping the facts of life as
they are and fighting to mold them
into something better.

goes out into the wilderness and hews
from dense forests homes and cities
and states, a spirit that conquers

side subdued, moves on to wrestle
nightly with the finer, the spiritual
things.
Frank Cross's family has been a
family of fighting pioneers for genera
tions, always on the frontier of civili-
cation. His forebears came to Amer
lea before the Revolution. His great
grandfather was a pioneer settler In
Marion county, Indiana, where ma
tional headquarters of the Legion Is
located. The family trekked across
country with the covered wagon. From
Indiana they moved into Iowa when
that state was opening up. Then to
Kansas and to Colorado, while the buff
falo were still on the plains and Indian
bands roamed the country. In COM
ing to indianapolis" he says, Il am the
first of the tribe TO back track and hit
the trail for the East"
He had laid a precedent in some sort
for that, when he hit the trail for
overseas and the battIefields of France
when there was work that needed
much to be done over there. Ances-
tors of his had fought in every n of
the nations wars. His entire family
his father, two brothers and himself
volunteered in II. A younger brother,
Charles, lost his life in France.
