RESOLUTIONS adapted by the International Council of Women at its Triennial Meeting Athens, March-April, 1951 Moral obligation towards the hard core refugees Considering that the recruiting* missions from the various coun tries have selected, among ’the re fugees, the stronges, youngest and most capable ones, ....the I.C.W. attracts the atten tion of these countries’ govern ments to the fact that it is imper ative to prove their huniinatarian attitude by accepting also a cer tain percentage of oid and sick people and of invalids. COSTUMES TO INSPIRE DESIGNERS For the firist ’liune, the costumes represent in g 12 provinces of Uk raine, i,n full-col or photographs will be available for research to the world's top notch fashion de signers who use the well-known Library o-f Cosltume Arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The Cul'turail Committee of the Ukrainian Youth's League of North America has ■comipleted an ambitious project of compiling and making a portfolio of these color photos, accompanied by a detailed article on the Ukrainian costumes by Mrs. Lydia Rudyk- Buracliynsska. (This article, along with color photos will be includ ed in the forthcoming book on “Ukrainian Arts,” also compiled bv the U.Y.L.-N.A.).

Wach-ma, which was presented during the UYL- NA’s 13th Annual Convention last September. The portfolio itself is hand somely bound in hand-made paper which suggests a Ukrainian de sign.
