Mr. Anthony B. Thomas, one of the leading druggists of San Leandro and also a three-term city coucilman, is of Portuguese descent. His father, a whaler who was born on the Flores Island of the Azores, and his mother came to the United States and settled in Provincetown, Massachusetts eighty-five years ago. In 1882 the entire family came overland to the East Bay area and established their home in San Leandro which was fast becoming a thriving Portuguese community. Mr. Thomas' father wanted him to be a whaler, but after finishing high school, he decided that he would prefer to be a druggist and studied to that purpose. The people of San Leandro, in recognition of his ability as a leader, have elected him three times a member of the five-man council board. Mr. Thomas says, "We are all Americans now and I am proud to be part of a democratic government and always want to do my share on any democratic government and planning board."

Her home destroyed three times by the Huns. This old French woman photographed just outside the American Red Cross Hut for refugees, at the Gare du Nord, Paris, has been driven three times from her home by the Germans. First in 1870 the Boche forced her to flee and again in 1914 she was a fugitive and her house was wrecked by shell fire. In 1917 after the French advance she returned and through the help of the American Red Cross was able to rebuild. Now she is once more a refugee and her last view of her village showed her home in flames. She has had three sons killed in the war and has five more in the army
