    • 1994 April 7–13, Hanka z Manhatanu, “Roztomili ustróniocy!”, in Gazeta Ustrońska, number 14, page 8:
      Jak sie rozchodzi o to psuci luftu, to snoci nikierzi, nimajóm zyngruby w porzóndku i ta szpatno woda im ucieko, a chcioż im tyn, jako to nazywajóm, kolektor, idzie pore kroków od chałupy, nie chcóm sie do niego podłóńczyć.
      When it comes to this spoiling of the air, apparently some people do not have their septic tank in order and this pesky water escapes it, and even though the, as they call it, collector, runs a few steps from their house, they do not want to connect to it.
