 GO To Joseph"
 " Yesterday morning at the o'clock Mass, Rev John German, Ms, a native of this city, had the following to say regarding this novena:
 Today 1t should not be necessary to urge anyone to turn to God and ask His Divine assistance The world is in a sorry state. The wrongs of the world cannot and will not be lighted without Gods help. During this Novena you have an opportun- ity to do your part In praying that the laws of justice and charity will prevail over the face of the earth. There is not one Of us who does not need some spiritual or material help Why not ask St. Joseph to intercede for us? During the past few years St. Joseph has helped countless souls in this parish and this city and even outside the city. Many have been helped materially. Many have been helped spiritually Through These Novenas Many Souls Have Been Brought Back To God If St. Joseph has already helped you why not make this Novena in thanksgiving? We should always show our gratitude for any favor we have received. We should re. member that In these Novenas we are praying, not only for our owr intentions, but also for the inten. tons of others. And they In turf are praying for us. Surely these united prayers will be most eff. cacious before the throne of God Co to Joseph" Make This Novena St. Theresa says: "It seems to be tho privilege of othG' saints to assist us in some particular necessities, but experience proves that this saint as. sists us In all, as If by this the Lore would have us understand that He was pleased to be subject to St. Jo. seph while on earth, so He is re.

is one of the three displayed in the Polish pavilion during the Worlds Fair held in New York. It was pur- chased by popular subscription among members and friends of St. Stanislaus parish. The dedication arrangements today provide for the presence of officials of state and national prominence.
 Easter Supper
 Last evening in the parish hall of St. Stanislaus church some 800 parishioners gathered for the an- nual Easter supper. Rev. Walter Sieracki, assistant pastor, officiat- ed most efficiently as master of ceremonies. Every society in the parish was represented by its of- ficers, who one by one, voiced the greetings of the season to Father Balasa and the assembled parish toners and guests. Among the speakers of the evening were Mar eel Ulatowski, John T. Sterling, An- thony Gwiazdowski, Dr. William J, Lenkowski, pr. Edward Lewicki, Dr. Joseph A. May, Attorney Andrew J. Kata, and William T. Harrington, City Editor of the Democrat.
 The principal address was given by Father Balasa. It was an in- spring and eloquent picturization of Poland in her hour of sorrow. Po- land will rise again, predicted the speaker, and will take. its place again among the foremost Christian nations of the world.
 Father Balasa recounted some of the incidents which befell Poland before the Nazi invasion, the pres ent suffering of the people who had shared much of their culture, their art, their music and their exalted ideals with the world and who are today providing stimulus to all lib- erty-loving, God-fearing nations, by their unfaunted courage and un- falter4ng hope.
 "There are already signs evil denced that Poland will emerge from this conflict, a united and happy nation, declared Father Ba- laSa.
 Tributes were paid to the parish toners for their splendid spirit of loyalty and cooperation throughout the year. Many outstanding achieve ments were noted as marking the success of the pastorate of Father Balasa and the splendid work of his popular assistant, Father Sieracki.
 Last evenings gathering was one of the largest and most enthusias- tic in the history of the parish.
 Members of the various women's societies served the delicious supper, while special program of enter tainment was presented by mem- bers of the parish. Children played their part in the various specialties under the direction of Sisters of the Immaculate Conception.
