Fellow citizens! Our strength lies in unity. Let us remember at all times that as long as we ourselves fail to do our share of work and will not endeavor to aid our fellow countrymen to occupy proper positions, so long will our people be ignored by other nationalities. Co-operation alone and a sincere interest in the affairs of this country, of which we are citizens, can place us on a par with others. It will allow the Poles to obtain such positions as are justly due them.

J. Zientek, President.

John Pelka, Secretary.
