The idea came, about 3n 1942, according to U.C Press Manager Albert Biggens, when the editors decided to refeHnt a memorial volume on Czechoslovakia, after its fall in 1939. "It was obvious to the editor and publisher that events tad divided the world into two opposing camps, he said, "but they felt. hat by presenting each of the democratic countries comprehensively in a book it would be a Contribution toward world peace."

For years the Southern Pacific maintained a Clinton Station on its main line that parellels Eighth Street However the station was razed to make way for the Eastshore Freeway. The only "old timer" in the former town of Clinton is the Clinton Lumber Company which is on East Seventh Street not far from the City corporation yard. Oakland was not incorporated as a city until May, 1854.
