I was present at the grand banquet in the Beckley Hotel ballroom on Sunday evening. September 5. when Gov. Hulett C. Smith. of West Virginia. spoke to the descendants of the Lebanese immigrants to the United States who were present for the 33d annual Kfeirian Brotherhood Reunion. I was pleased to be able to add my own congratulatory remarks to those of Governor Smith. The Lebanese migration to the United States began in the middle of the 19th century when the pressure of population on resources forced the people to seek new places in which they could earn a living and care for their families.
