A group of Polish citizens met last Sunday, July 19, at the home of Mr. Joseph Rosinski, 71 West Division Street, and after a brief discussion, organized a new fraternal benefit society, the Wielko Polanin.

The society will accept applications for membership from any Pole of good character and behavior, born in Greater Poznan or the Western German Province. The purpose of this society is to keep our native language pure, to respect and be faithful to the Roman Catholic religion, to help members during sickness, to pay death benefits and to care for the widows and orphans of members of this society.

Twenty-five persons joined this society at this first meeting.

The following officers were elected: Joseph Rosinski, president; Leon Wysocki, vice-president; John Marach, treasurer; Theophil Jankowski, recording secretary; Thomas Sobkowiak, financial secretary; Serwacy Bembenowski and Anthony Wolski, trustees; Vincent Wyszynski, marshal.

The next meeting will be held in Mr. Szykowny's hall, at the corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Noble Street, on Sunday, July 26, at four o'clock in the afternoon.

All Poles wishing to join this society are cordially invited to attend this meeting.

Joseph Rosinski, president.

Theophil Jankowski, secretary.
