 Priests Dream Realized
 The new orphan home is the crown ing glory of Father Lucyan Bojnow- skis long and useful career in New Britain. It's almost 30 years since he came to New Britain as young priest There were not even 100 Po- fish families in the city at the time and but few in the state. New Brit ain at that time was only a small struggling community Father Boi- ,owski worked and struggled with It. The hillside on Broad street and the on which the beautiful gran te church and fine brick school stand, worth now over quarter of million dollars, was then a barren piece Of and. Twenty five years of unceasing abor have built and orbanized one of he best congregations in this state. The Poles in New Britain own more homes than they do in any other Po- ish colony in America of equal size
 They are a thrifty and industrious people and Father Boinowski deserves great deal of credit for that work. Yearly 2,ooo children attend the par 'chial school, preparing them selves to ,ecome useful and industrious Ameri- an citizens.
