ТО MY MOTHER I always see you everywhere I go, And your advise I am glad to obey; At morning and at evening when I pray You are defending me from every woe. In life as on the stage the people show Much tragedy, and happy days in May Are turning fast into a hopeless gray, And winter comes with cold and frosty blow. But I am not afraid of winter's cold; Can I lose more than I already lost? Yet you remain to me the 'best true friend. The memory of you is more than gold, It makes me strong against life’s storm and frost, Because I always feel your helping hand. Christine Pereplys (Editor’s note—The authoress has only recently arrived from Europe). “THE MONTH’S WASH” The important news of the month from Akron is Dorothy Sudomir's reenlistment in the WAVES. She is a charter mem ber and former officer of Ak ron's Junior League. Stationed at Great Lakes, her re enlistment has left a vacancy that is diffi cult to fill in the Akron Ukrain ian community. * * * Marie Zaderecky of Cleveland was really making time on the telephone at the Hotel Carter during the U.Y.L. of Ohio's Sports Rally with a romantic masculine voice on the other end. Thigs were going beautifully— then he asked, “Who is this?” “Oh," Marie sent over sweetly, “this is Marie Zaderecky, Mike Zaderecky's sister." “Eh, ya dope," came back, “this is your brother." * * * From Olga Kaschner of De troit.—“According to my last correspondent with the editor, 1 stated that the membership of our club was aibout 12. As a re sult, the girls have offered me tuition for a mathematics course —seems we have double that amount of mem'bers. My apolo gies for misrepresenting the truth, and I'll wear my glasses at the next meeting." * * * Our girl, Eva Zepko of Akron, came through for the Jr. League at the Cleveland Sports Rally by tying for first place in the Polka contest. * * * This gal's head is still going around in circles from the over whelming hospitality of the Det roiters. And never in her life did she see as much enthusiasm as that in evidence at the Saturday night club meeting of Branch 61. Only trouble was that Ann Pyndyk and Sophie Sieihda enjoy “talking" as much as this Uke, making’ competition for the “floor" quite keen. On second thought, all the gals did their share of constructive and de structive vocalized communica ting. * * * At the rate the memibers of Jr. Branch 558 are producing Ukrainian offspring, there should be twice as many branches in the League -twenty years hence! The gals challenge any other group JR. LEAGUE GIRL WINS ‘SWEATER QUEEN1 TITLE After careful deliberation, sev en judges from Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois select ed Valentina Saczkowski to reign as “Sweater Queen" over the Youth League of Ohio Sports Rally held in Cleveland Febru ary 25, 26 and 27th. “Valie," as she is called by her American friends, is not only an attractive girl, but also possesses an in triguing winning personality. Valie is a DP who came to the United States with her mo- to match their score in baby showers. ❖ ❖ * And so ends, wearily, the “Month's Wash." ther, father and ‘brother two monhts ago. The story of the Saczkowski family is similar to the stories that are being brought tO' light more and more with each new arrival of a Ukrainian DP into the United States. It w'as the Soviets who start ed the long series of tragic events that drove the Saczkow- skis out of Ukraine into War saw', Poland, in 1917. In War saw Mr. and Mrs. Saczkowski began to build life anew and twenty years later they were the proud owners of one of the largest musical instrument stores in the city. However their life in Poland was just a reprieve from the cruel persecution, of the Rus sians. When Warsaw was bomb ed in the Second World War, the Saezkowskis who now were pa rents to a daughter and son, fled to escape the Russians. In their flight, they were captured by the Germans and put to work as forced labor on a farm not far from Vienna. There they work ed and suffered until the Amer ican army moved them to a dis placed persons camp in Munich, Germany. Although conditions were very bad in Munich, Valie took advantage of every opportunity to further her education. With money that was painfully gath ered :by selling treasured ob jects, and with the few marks that could be earned by selling one's service to German citizens, Valie and her family raised enough money to pay her tuition in the School of Dentistry. Sharing one room with twenty people wasn't too conducive for study, but before Valie left Ger many for the United States she was given a degree in dentistry. Valie catches on quickly to American slang and already can sing our popular songs. She is eager to learn our ways and has already enrolled at Cleve land College for a course in con versational English. While she is eager to learn the “American way," she is just as eager to teach and to explain the “Ukrainian way." A combi nation like that just can’t be beat.
