Help Your Parents to Become American Citizens
Jaunimas, Jan. 25, 1937
p.6.....The importance of becoming a citizen of this country cannot be over-emphasized. There are still many Lithuanian mothers and fathers who have not become a citizen of this country some because they have been too busy making their living; others have wanted to become citizens but some one has told them that unless they know the name of the ship on which they arrived they cannot become citizens. Many have had no one to turn to for advice or assistance in these matters. The lawyers have long been charging prohibitive fees for this service, and now since the Federal Government has taken over all naturalization matters and have taken out all the profit from this service by prohibiting any one to charge more than a given sum it is harder than ever to find anyone interested in the immigrant question.
The law has been changed so many times that ordinary people have not been able to keep up with the changes.
