Mr. Speaker. in 1915 Frank S. Sowa began teaching naturalization classes and for half a century he has been a vital force in helping men and women to prepare for and enter into the richness of American citizenship. It was timely and fitting that a great banquet honoring his 50 years of unselfish service to his fellow man. his community. and his church should have been held at Steves Hall. 13200 South Baltimore Avenue. Chicago. at the time when we in the Congress were putting the finishing touches on the new immigration and naturalization law. Our country owes much to men and women like Professor and Mrs. Sowa. who during the many long years have kept lighted the lamps of our democracy. On display at this memorable testimonial dinner was a scrapbook 1 foot thick with clippings on the countless accomplishments of this remarkable man in civic. social. religious. educational. naturalization. and philanthropic work. Mr. Speaker.
