HELEN MURAL, Junior Vice-President UNWLA, Contributing Editor, OUR LIFE UNWLA TRIUMPHS OVER THE FIRST HURDLE OF 25 YEARS For many years I was disturb ed by misnomers of my local friends and Church members, still being known as Little Russians or Ruthenians. In 1930 a hidden emo tion within me was spurred into action after Mrs. Helen Lototsky* the national president of UNWLA visited Yonkers and a new field was opened to me; that of filling a gap between two generations, one t?he emigrant who came to America with all the fine Ukrain ian culture and customs of a great proud race, a nationality seeking freedom from oppression* and the second generation, the American born of these ambitious immig rant parents but who- shied away from Ukrainian organizational work. In 1931 with a fine Yonkers delegation I attended the w e lt r e membered Congress in N-Y.C.

ajr strrkes some clubs in the spring coincident with the making of the. annual report. It is thought that the nervousness is caused by having to place a large number of “no’s” on the report blank- Meetings have been too social, and although specializing is neces sary to the over-all picture of club life, too much of it is detrimental and likely to crowd out some very important projects and some wor thy activities. Poor Circulation Some clubs are plagued with poor circulation. Members attend meetings spasmodically, and nev er notify the hostess of non-at tendance. Envy-?tis Another common disease among women’s clubs which prevents ef fective work is envy-itis, known in some localities by 'the descrip tive name, jealousy. This disease strikes a clulb- forcibly and is widely contagious, being spread by word of mouth- One affected member can give this disease to the entire group quickly- While the malady is spread usually by word of mouth, it is possible also to spread it simply by saying no thing. Another source of conta gion is the expression of envy ill the eyes of a member. Paralysis accompanies envy-itis. No other disease destroys the influence of the club so completely and causes such dire results. ^ Poor Vision While this is not a disease, it is mentioned because of the far- reaching. effect poor vision has on the work of a club. Rash This condition is not serious as it is only skin deep- TJhe terrifying part of the whole thing is that some members itch to carry out certain activities connected with certain, departments, while other members feel that the department which they head is the one and only worthy of notice. A compile te list of diseases'is impossible here. There are many which are chronic, thousands which are acute. In club work there are numerous headaches. The consoling fact is that sooner or later everyone is convalescent and has the joyous experience of the major operation to discuss with all who will listen. Now let us discuss the treat- mei/c and care of these diseases, all of which can be cured if dis covered early enough by the suf fering club. Care and Treatment Complete Clubical Examination Sometimes ailments appear sud denly- If they appear quickly, they are easily recognized and quickly diagnosed. The large group of maladies which creey) upon us cause more trouble because
