DISCUSS PLANS FOR FUTURE

In an effort to aid the work of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Citizens
Club, a number of the Hungarian
citizens of the city met last night at
$40 Maple street and discussed fu-
ture plans for this organization. Up

gate to discuss the topics of the
day and otherwise pass away the
time. Not only will the club be
for social purposes. but it is also
being formed with the idea in view
of aiding all Hungarians in obtain
ing their citizenship papers and to
urge upon them the necessity of so
doing.
All the priests of the Hungarian
churches of the city were present at
last nights meeting as were also
many prominent business men and
mechanics. Those who attended last
nights session will attend the general
meeting of The club on Thursday
night, in Columbia hall and offer
thsir :aoral ard financial assistance
to the club. These men intend to
| support the organization without in
| terfering in any way with the present
