VSELENNAYA VESELYSIA Rejoice, 0 Universe! God is born today of the Virgin, In the stable, among the beasts, Whom to adore The Magi came. The .Shchedrivky were also the sacred lyrics, hymns to honor and entreat the god of warmth. Shchedry means liberal, boun teous, as the god-sun was con sidered such. Nowadays these ca rols are sung on New Year’s Eve, and during the coming week, when various customary celebra tions are taking place, and a rich feast is served; it is as it were a repetition of Christmas Eve. The forces of nature and heavenly objects are usually personified, and often referred to as opulent husbandmen or landladies, who give bounteously to all that S'ing them a paean: SHCHEDRYK Shchedryk, Shchedryk, Dear little Shchedryk, A tiny swallow Perched on the house-roof; She began chirping, Calling for the master. Come out, my lord, come forth! Look into your stable: The ewes gave birth to lambs, Behold thy beautiful kine; Thou wilt become rich But money is nought; Thou hast a pretty wife With black 'eyebrows. Shchedrvk, Shchedryk, Shchedrivochka— A little swallow has arrived. ітіьгрлт*ттліуг .mwrinp t.FAOUE BRANCH S* REPORTS On December IRth. 19C0, the Tuniot- clubs and organizations of the Philadelphia Federation of Women’s Clubs had a Christmas Program, in conjunction with the doll proiect at Gimbel Brothers Club Women’s Center. All recipi ents of dolls and tovs made by these clubs were present. Sisters of St. Basil’s Orphanage and sev eral orphans were nresemt through the invitation of the Uk rainian Junior League, Br. 52. A pleasant and unexpected sur prise was given representatives of the Ukrainian Junior League Miss .Helen Mural ..re-elected Jr. Vice-President at the 9th Convention of UNWLA and chairman of the Ukrainian League Editorial Board JUNIOR LEAGUE’S EDITORIAL BOARD At the Board meeting of the newly elected Executive officers and Directors of Ukrainian Na tional Women’s League of Amer ica, Inc., held at Headquarters in Philadelphia on December 17, 1950, Miss Helen Mural, Jr. Vice- President and Jr. Editor propos ed to create an Editorial Board for the Junior League Section of Our Life. She suggested names of several voung ladies to be invited to said Board and was confident that their talents and interests will give a very colorful and stimulat ing material for our readers. In this issue vou will find an introductorv “Letter to the Edit or” from Miss Anne Strvkowskv of "Philadelphia who nrnrni^es to rn^tribut^ ar+irVs on T T^rqinfan TTr.1V Д -rf Cj'i'-» rnsrlp я q,Q-r*r)iiq ctn- Ачт of if.

Stefania Kredensor. a charter member of the club, deserves credit as the award was made because of the tovs she made. Thev were I'i'ttb beds made nf rigar boxes, small cotton spools for the le^s and clothes pins for the posts. These were enameled TO THE EDITOR: Why one little bug’s bite effects should be so lasting I didn’t at first understand. However, now that my malady is well advanced and deeply established (and there is no doubt that it is an especial one producing for me pleasure and contentment, knowledge and decorative articles), I can appre ciate that each subsequent and consequent symptom which has been manifested by a new stitch learned, a new design discovered, and another original article com pleted served to renew that ori ginal ‘bite” and prolong its plea sant after effects. I urge you, therefore, most strongly, dear Editor, to expose your readers to this same satis fying malady. They will enjoy it and you will be delighted with the good you have done. To help you with your pleasant task I will send to you in time for next month’s issue, the very “germ” of Ukrainian embroider ies : illustrations, instructions, and ideas how to use the oldest stitch in Ukrame, the weaving one. Very truly yours, Anne Strvfeowsky. white. The beds were equipped with a quilted mattress, bolster, sheets, and crocheted cover. In the bed was a small doll. Ukrainian Junior League is very proud of this second award. It is the only club in the Federa tion, that has received two awards. The club will strive to continue to be ir^the running again next year. Best of luck to them! Stephanie Wochok.
