The field of poetry is very good. but it should come after individual accomplishment has shown results in the shop of reality. Individual initiative and selfenterprise put the mind and body of a man in a more receptive mood for the finer things of life. I am told of an Italian immigrant by the name of Mario Izzo who resided at Aliquippa. Pa.. who came to America late in life and quickly learned the fundamental philosophy of America. This Italian immigrant was forced on relief. and I am told that while in that situation was accidentally burned to death and was buried in the potters field. The story runs along to the effect that after his burial the citizens of Aliquippa began to appreciate the value of the life of this immigrant. raised a fund. had his body exhumed. gave him a church funeral. which was attended by hundreds of people. and today are raising funds for a memorial. While on relief Mario Izzo. acting as a volunteer. swept the streets of the town 6 hours a day and 6 days in a week. He said. "You see they give me money to live.
