Greek Star -- January 01, 1937F. Nichols Elected President of Rogers Park Kiwanis Club.
An example of true American sportmanship appeared last week at the Hotel Sovereign where the club has its weekly luncheon meetings. The club unanimously elected Frank Nichols as their president. Kiwanis has a membership of ninety-five thousand professional and business people in the United States and Canada, so it is indeed an honor to the Greek race and to the progressive Greeks of Chicago because it is believed that F. Nichols is the first Greek in the entire United States to hold the position of president in such an organization.
Frank Nichols, whose real native name is Fotios Meltihoes Nikolopoulos, came to this country in 1912 from Vounargon, Pyrgos, Ellias, Greece, and until nine years ago had been in many parts of the country. In 1928 he opened the Hacienda at 1614 Howard Street, and even there he felt as a stranger among strangers until a neighborhood business man approached him to join the organization.
2Ever since he entered the Kiwanis Club he has taken an active part in the organization. He served as director for five years during which time he served as chairman of the House Committee, chairman of the Reception Committee, chairman of the Underprivileged Child Work Committee and during the past year of 1936 he served as chairman of the Program Committee. During the chairmanship of the Underprivileged Child Work Committee, Frank promoted one of the most humanitarian objectives in the Club's membership--- the Deaf-Mute School.
Mr. Nichols has belonged to the club for more than six years, has a perfect attendance record, served on all committees, and has been a director for the last four years. He is also a director of Howard District Business Association and belongs to the Institute of Human Relations; the National Confederation of Jews and Christians; the Restaurant Association; Beavers International; Masonic Order of Knight Templar; Shivers and also to the Gole Fathers' Council. Frank Nichols is a very popular and very successful business man of whom his fellow countrymen feel very proud.

Greek Star -- January 01, 1937Hitlerism & Women
In a concentration of the women's organization of the National-Socialistic party in Berlin, Mr. Rudolph Es, representative for Hitler, lectured about the women of the Third Reich before Miss Gertrude Soltz-Klint and twenty-thousand other women of the organization. On this most interesting theme Mr. Es commented as follows:
"A woman is honored in Germany as a mother, as a companion to her husband, and as citizen of the nation. Abroad they have erroneous ideas concerning our conception of woman. We desire women whose lives and whose works do not alter their feminine nature, that is, women that we can love! We are leaving behind us the world that wants to see only one specific kind of woman. We bear them no grudge as long as they let us choose the type of woman we consider most precious.....
"The ideal woman of Germany today isn't the stereotyped "Gretchen" with her old-fashioned and narrow conceptions, but a woman who will stand by her husband, brave and uncomplaining, through the agony of life with its thousand apprehensions and joys which tend to make it more rich and full as time goes 2on. This is Germany's ideal woman of today. A woman, especially that can be a mother.
"That last sentence sums up one of the biggest achievements of National-Socialistic Germany. More women become mothers in Germany today than ever before and it isn't because the nation or men wish it. No, it is the mothers, they themselves are proud to bring into this world strong and healthy children. The mothers have one purpose, to preserve themselves for their country. We know, of course, that all women cannot attain that height of happiness because all women do not marry. And that is why we uphold vocations for women. They are free to choose whatever profession they wish. They can study at Universities, especially in vocations that require certain scientific knowledge where women excel over men.
"On the other hand, this new Germany does not want to see its women in professions that make her seem masculine. It wants to see the German woman fulfilling her duty as a supplement to man's nature. Women of other nations will look up some day to this modern Germany. They might even envy these women contemporaries of theirs that are so far ahead of them."

El Ideal Mexicano -- January 03, 1937(No headline)
How little is your contribution to the Church, if you stop to consider calmly you will know that the amount is very small. One fourth of the amount paid for gasoline goes to the revenue. One third of what you pay for cigarettes is taken in for revenue. How much of this amount do you pay. Kindly figure out how much of this you pay just in one week. Of course you pay these revenues every day, while the Church only asks you to contribute once a week. As a consumer you pay taxes from the manufacturing of an automobile up to the most simple cosmetic. Your automobile license money also enters as revenue. When you pay your light and telephone bills, you are paying such revenues, and lastly you are paying for everything you use. And to God and His Church how little is the amount you really give if we compare it with the total sum of all the other contributions you are making.
2Which is the work that deserves your help most: From what sources do you derive a benefit which could equal one percent of the benefits you receive from your Church: The ancient Law of the Omnipotent demanded one tenth from the earnings of the people. Today the people are paying just a small percentage to the Church while they pay more than ten-percent for revenues. Stop and consider this problem well and do everything that is in your power to extend your cooperation toward the augmentation of the honor and Glory of God.
