Thirty-five foreign bore residents were granted citizenship at a naturalization hearing held by Judge E. W Crosby and C.R.

Of the immigrant groups there were 17 Polish, six Germans, two Swiss, two Yugoslavians, two Finlanders, one each of Hollander Czechoslovakian, Hungarian, Swede Lithuanian and Serb-Croat Slovene. The youngest was 25 and the oldest was 80 Many of the applicants in the Thorp and Withee communities attended a WPA sponsored Americanism class during recent months to prepare for the tests.
