POLISH STUDENTS
WILL link Clubs
New Britain Residents Active in
Oldest Society Of Kind

OF interest to the Polish people
OF this city and especially to those
who are interested in the education.
al progress of their children is the
formal announcement OF q congress
of Polish students clubs which will
take place December u and Is at
the Polish National Alliance college
in Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania.
The purpose of this meeting will be
to link all the students clubs In the
various centers of education into one
federation for the purpose of foster
ing goodwill and friendship among
the many hundreds of Polish stud
cnts in the American colleges and
universities.
Although not generally known,
Connecticut Poles and representa-
tives OF the Polish race in New
Britain have played a great part in
the forming Of one of the Oldest and
largest student organizations In the
east. Back in 1915 a small group
of students in the various institu-
tons in Boston got together and
club. They all were members of
different college organizations but
felt that In time their numbers
would grow and an organization for
the purpose of fostering good fellow
ship would be essential. an organ
ization where students of Polish ex-
traction could assemble and discuss
problems OF mutual interest and en-
deavor. It was not an easy task in
the beginning to make the students
understand the necessity of such a
club, but as time went on and each
school had a representative in the
club, work went on more evenly
and the circle began to expand.
Other cities followed the footsteps
and today Polish student bodies are
organized and incorporated in fully
a dozen. educational centers OF
America.
Among those who first conceived
the idea in Boston were DR.. B. Luz
tecki, at present on the staff Of the
Isolation hospital in Hartford: Prof.
stephen Mierzwa, well known To-
cally, head of the department OF
economics at Drake university.
Iowa and at present secretary Of the
kosciuszko Foundation in New York.
As years went by. the member
ship of the club increased till in
1924-c5 the club numbered nearly
100 active members. students in the
different institutions in Boston and
environs. Oddly enough. during
these same years, the New Britain
contingent was perhaps the strongest
of all, and Connecticut was the best
represented outside of Massachu-
sets. d. A. Grzybowslli. at present
auditor OF the City National bank.
was president of the club in 1923
"a and during his presidency the
club showed considerable increase
in membership. Members of the To-
cal contingent always figured on
committees and were active at all
times in working for the building
up OF the club. Among those who
gave much Of their time to bring
ing together Polish students and
organizing them in a strong educa
tionai circle were B. A. Grzybowski.

HOLIDAY RAFFLES
DIE With SALOON
Custom Once Popular Here
Ended by Yolstead Law

One of the good old practices of
the days before the public saloons
were legislated out of existence to
be replaced by the blind tigers"
which are described in the courts
very frequently. has been missed in
November for the past several years.
and as there seems to be no prospect
of its return. the probability is that
the only pleasure the youths of the
rising generation can hope to derive
from it is to listen to their elders
tell of it and probably sigh because
it is no more.
Thanksgiving turkey raffles, the
prizes being won in dice and card
games, were the events of the 18th
month OF the year. and regardless
of what else took place the eve of
the great holiday. the saloons were
sure to be crowded as the birds
went out of the show windows and
INTO the waiting arms of the win
ners. Awarding turkeys by drawing
off tickets, purchased in advance in
stores and from members of lodges
fostering the rattles, is tame and I'M
exciting whatever the outcome. ac-
cording to the old timers who leaned
against the bar all evening and we'll
into the night, sometimes winning a
bird or two. and often coming away
empty-handed.
Turkeys In Saloon Windows
week or two in advance of
Thanksgiving witnessed the prepar-
atoms. much to the delight of the
small boys who spent hours in front
OF the saloon windows watching the
king gobblers strutting back and
forth in sawdust, apparently oblivi-
GUS to the fate awaiting them only
a short time off. The saloons on
Main street, Lafayette street, Hart
