 Revived K. Of L.
Much Interest Manifest at Recent Meeting-Member-
 ship Drive to Be Launched

Atty. Joseph P. Alishausky, LID. was elected to the presidency of the Knights of Lithlania at a meet ing held last night and immediately plans were instigated for stimula- tion of the club activities, which 1t is believed will become numerous beginning in the near future. One of the most important topics of the annual meeting was the traugura- tion of membership drive which was started and will continue until Easter Sunday. Other officers elect ed are Julius Vilciauskas, vice-presi- dent; Peter LazauskaS recording secretary, Mary Mazeika, cashier; Mary Orintas, financial secretary; Frank Smudinas, doorman; and
 John Lesunaitis, club custodian. The latter position is one of great inl-
 portance. The board of directors named includes Rev. John J. Kri-
 pas, chairman, Alexander Aleksis.
 Harry Kenausis, Joseph c. CoSkie, past president, and John Lesunaitis Rev. Joseph J. Valantiejus, pastor
 of St. Joseph's Church, was ap- pointed chaplain.
 In conjunction with the extended membership drive, those who at-' tended the meeting manifested con- siderable enthusiasm, stressing a movement for a new deal which should bring about a revival of the popularity which the club enjoyed several years ago. During the period of time devoted to the drive, the
 initiation fee has been reduced to
 $I.80 from the original $500. Plans
 were also made for the circulation
 of the official newspaper of the K. of l.. organization The Knight"
 and this publication will be distri-
 buted among the members at regu-
 ular intervals. The paper will carry
 news of Lithuanian affairs.
 Since the K. of l.. is a Catholic
 organization plans were made for the cooperation of the unit in all affairs conducted for the benefit Of St. Joseph's parish. The Knights will sponsor parish benefit dance | in February, the actual date to be
 decided upon in the near future.
 By unanimous vote, the organiza- ton members pledged themselves to donate one weeks salary to the church to help defray the financial
 burden faced by the pastor, who
 generously has financed all enter
 prises with the organizations. Fath-
 CT Valantijus has asked that each
 of the parishioners pledge one
 weeks wages at this time and the
 amount to be derived, 1t is under stood, will be used in any way which he desires. It was said that other parish societies will do likewise and
 that in addition to those amounts.
 there will be several individual con-
 tributions.

 Parish House Plans
 There are approximately 300 per- sons on the rolls, as of yesterdays report, with 50 in the parish house and about 250 on the working pay roll. St. Johns parish house will continue as 1t is until April and at that time about half of the single men will be eligible for the old age pension. Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, rector of St. Johns, will continue to take an active interest in the sub- ject. Dr. Lewis and MT.
