NEW CITIZENS Walter and Sophie Kociszewski before that was a victim of World War II and the prepare for a trip back to their native Poland. German occupation, He finally acquired American Walter Kociszewski labored for 16 years here and citizenship and now returns to Europe as a citizen of his adopted country. Ex-POW Celebrating 4th In Poland by JEAN CAFARELLA On this Independence Day, Walter Kociszewski, who spent five years as a prisoner of war in Germany, ten years working in Belgian coal mines, and sixteen years as a construction worker in Palatine, is going to visit the Poland he left 31 years ago. But this time he will see his native Poland as a visiting American citizen, becoming part of the saga of a hundred, thousand immigrants who left turbulence in Europe for promise in the United States. Kociszewski planned the trip so he could visit his 90-year-old mother, Maria, whom he hasn't seen since World War II.

Before going on the trip, however, Kociszewski wanted to become an American citizen, which provides him with the protection of the American government while abroad. His citizenship did not come without trial; he and his wife Sophie passed all their tests for naturalization, and his wife was scheduled to swear-in back in January. Kociszewski received a notice of faulty fingerprints, and immediately sent a new set. HE RECEIVED no further notice, so he called the naturalization office and wrote them two letters. He went to the office twice, and one of the times he was given a runaround because his papers had been misplaced.

Kociszewski finally was sworn in as a citizen June 13. Ironically, Kociszewski waited 16 years to become a citizen because he had heard the naturalization test is very hard. The test turned out to be "not so bad," and not nearly as bad as waiting for the swearing in. His oldest son, Thaddeus, applied for citizenship last November and is still waiting. The waiting is over now and Kociszewski, his wife, and his youngest child, Irene, will go back to Poland for 30 days starting this week, spending the first nine days on tour seeing all the places they haven't seen before.

Besides visiting his mother, Kociszewski will also look up three brothers and a sister. His mother is living in a retirement home in Tyrawawoloska, an east-central town where she was born. When the Kociszewskis visit Poland, the things they remember will probably be far different from what they were in 1941. Poland was about 90 per cent farms in 1941, as Kociszewski remembers it. Now it is adopting many more Western industrial ideas, opening more stores and more industries.

When Kociszewski was young, his father owned an average-size farm of about 40 acres, where they grew just about every kind of crop and owned some cows and pigs. WHEN HE was 17, he was captured by Germans. "I worked in a German factory 12 a day no food, no clothes. I was hungry. I never forgot this," Koziszewski said.

His mother sent packages of food to him about once a month. During his time in Germany he met his wife; they married in 1946 and had a son, Thaddeus, who is now 24. After the war the Kociszewskis decided not to go back to Poland, and went instead to Belgium. He worked in a coal mine for ten years, and decided he wanted a better future for his family. The Kociszewskis had two more children while in Belgium, Kristine, 22 (now Mrs.

Kristine Larson), and Eugene, 18. "In Belgium, Thaddeus would have been working nine years now in the coal mine. I made $5 or $6 for eight hours of It cost $2 for a chicken and $10 for a turkey I never tasted turkey there, and here you could have it every week!" he said. THE FAMILY left for America in 1956, and Irene, 10, was born here. Their first home in Palatine was 70 or 80 years old, with the washrooms and water pump outside.

Now they can easily laugh about what it was like to go to the washroom on a winter morning. Presently they have a lovely home at 190 S. Cedar. STARTING A new life in America was rough, since they didn't know any English. But Kociszewski told prospective employers that he was willing to work hard.

Once he told a possible employer that he was hungry. "He laughed at me and said, 'You want bread? We got lots of He didn't know what it's like to be hungry," Kociszewski said. His desires for a better life for his children have materialized. Thaddeus is a graduate of the University of Chicago with a major in economics. The elder Kociszewski was only able to go through the fifth grade because his father became sick and he had to work on the farm.

He's very glad to be going back to Poland because his mother has written that things are much better than they used to be. "I never saw much of Poland other than the farm it's supposed to be beautiful. I love Poland, and I love America, too. Palatine is a nice place," he said. His wife agrees that "This is the best country." Paddock Offices Are Closed Today Paddock Publications is closed all day today, July 4, in observance of Independence Day.
