WANT MEAT INSPECTORS
Plans for large new club house to
be erected by members of the Polish
American Citizens club and the Pol
ish Home association were announced
yesterday by Secretary Frank Madura
Of the Citizens club. The site for the
building has already been purchased
at Fortieth and J streets and the club
stands today with funds amounting
to $4,000.
A month ago the two organizations
we're joined by common consent of
members and the project Of erecting
new building was at once taken up.
1t is planned to erect club house
somewhat similar to the German
home which will contain all the facili-
ties necessary for social entertain
ments such as moving pictures, gym
nasium halls, bowling alleys, swim
ming pool, dance hall, as we'll as =
meeting place for the members. A
committee OF three, including Rev.
Father Michael Cuba, Polish priest;
Tom Kozial, publisher and editor Of
local Polish newspaper, and Frank
Bolster, president OF the citizens club,
will endeavor to obtain subscriptions
from business men OF the South Side.
Other committees have been ap-
pointed to canvass the Poles of the
city.
Since the amalgamation Of the two
clubs the Poles OF the South Side have
become a powerful organization.
| Closely allied they act as one and are
boosting enterprises that will benefit
themselves and their part of the city
in the West L street section.
The new club house will be built
under profit sharing plan, each sub
scriber taking out so much stock.
Peter Wozniak is at present president
OF the Polish Home association, while
Frank Bolster is president OF the citi-
zens' club. Frank Madura is secre-
tary OF the Citizens club, while
George Latka is secretary OF the
home association.
Building operations will begin
either this fall or early next spring
as the members shall decide. There
are sos qualified members in the COM
bined organization.
