THE AMERICANIZATION CORNER
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE NATURALIZATION LAWS
AND CITIZENSHIP FULLZ ANSWERED
IN THIS COLUMN.
No American Citizen need be told in these days that the Americanization of
the whole allied-born mass of residents among us is o f immediate and vital con - 1
cern. Hence the Observe*, wishing to do its share toward accomplishing it, has
made arrangements with the United State Bureau of Naturalization by which!
its readers may have questions concerning their individual and citizenship rights
answered free of charge. The subjects covered are naturalization laws, filing
declaration o f intention (first papers), petitions for naturalization (second pap­
ers). Knowledge o f government required o f applicants, places where free pub­
lic school classes in English and citizenship may be found, the free distribution
o f “ The Students Textbooks” to foreigners, and questions o f citizenship rights.
The Observer will be glad to secure answers to all inquires of every charac­
ter and invites its readers to ask any questions they wish. Questions should be
aiMressed to the the “ Americanization Column” , Observer, Aurora, Oregon,
Such questions will be answered,directly by letters by the “ Bureau of Natural­
ization’ ’ arid also in these columns. The person making inquires must sign
their name and address as evidence o f good faith.
