Mrs. Mary Terronez ; 8-15-18; Announcement Ch-4-08

1930 to 1940 - I started helping Mexican people in Cooks Point barrio by interpreting for parents at schools, at the grocery stores and doctor's offices. Some of the doctor's offices included Doctor Neufield, Dr. Garside and Dr. Taylor. My assistence was utilized to accompany residents and fill out pertinent forms for people at the Davenport Visiting Nurse's with Miss Harvey. 
      The people I helped with of all races with a cross section of Black, Mexican and Anglo-Saxon from the Cooks Point barrio predominately. These people sought my assistence because due to their economic income level they felt they were not being treated right. These people did not feel at ease going to the above services. They sought my assistence not only because of a language barrier, but also sought my assistence to seek the necessary referrals to the right agencies subjected low income and social level ,

Grocery store, such as George Lawton, Robert Brondel and Johnnies Market, were some of the food stores where people asked my assistence in interpreting, explaining purchases on credit plans and how to establish credit references and how to obtain credit. Approx, 2 hrs , per week. 

Some of the schools I assisted parents in registering their children and interpreting included such school such as Monroe School. St Alphonsus, J.B. Young and Davenport Central High School. Many times parents felt their children were unjustly reprimanded and suspended from school due to insensitivity by school officials of the economic income level and non-English speaking parent's background. The parents would ask me to help them establish a communication channel of their needs and ways to eliminate unjust school suspensions.Approx 2 hrs. per week. 

One of the health/welfare agencies I helped people get health and welfare aid was at the Davenport Catholic Charities which was part of the Davenport Catholic Welfare. Newly arrived residents predominately sought my direction in locating health agencies, emergency clothing and food. Such health/welfare agencies as Davenport.
