NON-UKRAINIANS EAGER TO LEARN ART OF “PYSANKY” (Cleveland, Ohio) Two very surprised women in Cleveland are Mrs. Harry Ste- panek, President of Branch 14, and Mrs. Michael Bilecky, a member of Soyuz Ukrainok. Following ia routine announce ment in Clefc^eland newspapers concerning the classes they were holding at the West Side and East Side Ukrainian National Homes, they were avalanched with telephone, calls of inquiry about their Ukrainian egg de signing instructions. Housewives and school teachers of "all na tionalities were eager to attend the classes and to learn the in tricacies of our pysanky. Their amazement turned into, excitement when each discovered there were over a hundred peo ple at each of the National Homes waiting to be shown how a Ukrainian egg is designed. Both Mrs. Stepanek and Mrs. Bilecky agreed that the majority of the women in the audiences were non-Ukrainians. And as they spoke with the women they learned that Germans, Russians, Poles, and Czechoslovaks were in attendance. In fact, the two classes thus held caused such an, uproar that two newspapers in Cleveland featured stories on Mrs. Stepa- цек and Mrs. Bilecky. Here, is a ripe field for a So yuz Ukrainok project on suc ceeding Easters. When non-Uk- rainians require such little en couragement ,it would seem to. be relativel yeasy to spread our culture.

Якщо ДІВОЧІ СЛЬОЗИ рОіЗВОДНИЇИ 6,000 разів, то вони все ще мо гли б убити багато різного ро ду мікробів. Сльози мають хе- мікалій лізоцим що є одним з найсйльнШднх засобів охоро ни від зардзливості. 'КЬли людина дуже засмуче на, .коли тяжко їй на серці, а добре виплачеться, то стає лекшіе. Тому що від смутку й жалю у тілі, особливо в моз ку, збІраються отруйні хемічні речовини. Коли такої „отрути” в тілі багато, то людина дуже погано почувається. Колиж ре вно »поплаче, то із сльозами випливе та мозкова отруя, і тоді негайно стає лекше. Що плач помічний, знають найкр’а- ще дівчата і жінки, а колиб і чоловіки часом могли добрїе виплакатись, то менше свари лися б.
