The dilemmas are solved to the satisfaction of most of the parties involved. What about Taylor-Burton? She is as gorgeous as ever, though her figure is a bit ample. Modern drama is obviously her forte, and she delivers without a false note.

Burton is hampered, as with Marc Antony, by having to be hang-doggish through most of the film.

About 1880, the first Polish families found their wayf into Fre-mont, 0. These first Polish families were principally from wes-tern Poland. around Posen.

Among these pioneer families were the Rozanski, Bednarek, Chudzinski, Nowicki, Kaczmarek, Wisniewski, Kowalewski, Kla-witer. Wesolck, Surdyk. Kwiatkow-ski, Wojeciechowski, Walkowiak, Graczyk, Adamski, Runskiewicz, and the Florkowski families. Not having a church of their own and a priest who knew their language, the first Polish families in Fremont became affiliated with St. Joseph's church.

Though the Poles did not know the English language, they did understand the German language. For the benefit of those Poles in the public function of the lay AUOUST SALI OF FUR-TRIMMED By BOB THOMAS AP Movie-Television Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP)-MGM is releasing another Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton movie hard on the heels of "Cleopatra." It'a called "The V.I.P's" and it is being book into 600 theaters throughout the world in the next several weeks. The aim is obviousto cash in on "Cleo's" fame. But "The V.I.P.'s" could stand on its own. This is a problem picture.

The problems concern how the rich hold onto their wealth and how they avoid being ruined by it. Author Terence Rattigan came up with an intriguing premise: What happens to a handful of well-heeled passengers whose New York flight is delayed in London by fog. The dilemmas: 1. A shipping magnate's wife (Elizabeth Taylor) has left her husband (Burton) a note at home saying she is leaving him for a gigolo (Louis Jordan). 2.

An Australian wheeler-dealer (Rod Taylor) must get. to a New York board meeting to cover a worthless check he has written to save his company. 3. A Swiss-based movie director (Orson Welles) must get himself and his actress-Doxy (Elsa Martinelli) out of England or suffer a million-dollar tax loss. Lots of chance for drama here.

And it is played for all it is worth, During the 47 years of St. Casimir's existence as a parish, the following offered their services to the church: Father Jerome A. Zienta, ordained to the priesthood in 1932 to serve in a Texas diocese, now deceased; Brother Flor-ian Florkowski with the Holy Cross Brothers of Notre Dame; Brother Eugene Lacny, a Franciscan Brother in Watkins Glen, N.Y.; Sisters M.

Joseph's Parish to the site of the new St. Casimir's Church. Taking part in this procession were all the societies of St. Joseph's Parish, Fremont's "Light and the Knights of Columbus. Construction of the new church was completed without undue in COAT terruptions, and the first Mass Pickets In Action At School Offices CINCINNATI (AP) Pickets from two opposing civil rights groups quietly patroled outside the Cincinnati School Board offices Thursday in an issue involving temporary transfer of four classes from one school to another.

Eight members of the National Association for Advancement of White People patroled in support of keeping the four classes of predominately Negro children separate from the rest of the predominately white school pupils. The National Association for Advancement of Colored Poeple later had about 60 pickets protesting the board decision and urging integration at the school. was celebrated in the new church skj 'nd M.

In this period of time, a Polish Jesuit, Father War-ol, came to give a mission to the Polish families. After the turn of the century, there was an increase of Polish emigrants into Fremont. This increase gave rise to concerted efforts for a permanent parish church and priest who could help these Polish families in the language they best understood. Anxious as these people were to have a church and priest of their own, the shortage of Polish priests in the diocese prevented the fulfillment of a new parish in Fremont, church bell, and Monsignor Rosin ski delivered the sermon. In September, 1916, the two-classroom school was opened for classes under the direction of two Sisters of St.

Francis, from the convent Mother-house in Sylvan ia, O. They were: Sister Ernestine, the first superior, and Sister M. Antonia. A suitable convent home for the two Sisters was not available at the time in the vicinity of the school, so the Sisters made their temporary residence in the home of John and Josephine Kaczmarek. Not long after, a home on Lake street was purchased from Mr.

and Mrs. Steph I C'1 fv TOWN COUNTRY 8 VxStoV rV-r Downtown Frmoni en Wasielewski.This home became the permanent convent home for the Sisters, and remains to serve as such at present. A third teaching Sister was added to the staff several years ago. During the past 47 years the following clergy served the parishioners of St. Casimir's Parish: The Rt.

Rev. Francis S. Legowski, who was the first pastor appointed by Bishop Schrembs in 1914 organized the parish. In 1918 Father Legowski enlisted as Chaplain in the United States Army and served overseas until the end of World War I. During his absence Father W.

Danielak served as pastor until June, 1919. Father Legowski took up his duties as 1914 was anything accomplished for these Polish families, when the Most Reverend Joseph Schrembs, bishop of Toledo, was able to send Fatther Francis S. Legowski to Fremont to be of service to the Poles and to take up a census of all the Poles in the Fremont district. This census revealed the presence of 105 Polish families and more than 150 unmarried adults. Impressed by these numbers and the existing conditions, the Most Reverend Bishop determined to create a new parish to minister to the spiritual needs of the Polish people of Fremont.

On December 13, 1914, a pastoral letter was read in St. Joseph's church decreeing the establishment of a new parish in Frmont, under the patronage of St, Casimir, for the Polish families resid-i ing in and around Fremont. pastor again until February, 1922, when he was appointed pastor of St. Anthony's Parish, Toledo, by Most Rev.

On January 15, 1932, the Most Rev. Karl J. Alter appointed Father Edward A. Zulka The responsibility of organizing the new parish was given to Father Francis S. Legowski, who was at the time administrator of St.

Joseph's Church in Marble-head, 0. Immediately a committee was organized, comprised of John Kaczmarek, Michael Surdyk, John Burek and John Kalinowski. There was no serious difficulty In finding a suitable site for the new church. John Kaczmarek and his wife Josephine had dreamed of a church for the community of Polish families and had promised to donate a parcel of land sufficient for the needs of a parish plant, in the event that a Polish parish would be established. They fulfilled their promise with a gift of an acre and a quarter of their land for the new church.
