WELCOME In introducing Miss Eleanora Kulchycky the new Junior Editor of OUR LIFE, we bid her a hearty welcome. Miss Kulchycky born and ed ucated in Philadelphia, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil CHRISTMAS-1952 Kulchvcky. She attended the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, where she majored in music in the School of Education, and is now studying Political Science and Journalism. Eleanora is an accomplished cellist and has many concert ap pearances to her credit. Our Junior Editor is most an xious to hear from our Junior Leaguers, who desire to write ar ticles, or to contribute in some way to the furtherance of Ukrain ian culture and education. Please note the address: 2231 Fairmount Ave., Phil a. 30, Pa., and write to her at your earliest opportunity. Mrs. Helen F. D. Lototsky, President. “The cold” war progresses — but the trucks enter the cities with loads of Christmas trees. The terror of the atom bomb looms large — but Christmas car ols are sung on the radio. Depart ment stores vie with one another in “selling Christmas”—and chil dren prepare Christmas programs in the schools. Two thousand years is a long time. In this age of paradox and com plexity, values are transitory, un^ stable, unclear, and subject to many and vicious attacks. The man who looks for an answer to the huge question mark of today is subject to disillusion and frus tration. Ideological war-fare, commercial-industrial societies, accelerated tempos of living, and all the concommitants of 20th century culture make it difficult for one to perceive and hold last ing, satisfying values. Men, they say, are groping, searching for answers to prob lems more difficult and more com plex than ever before. The mo mentous scope of these problems precludes the possibility of their solution. Men, they say, will not find the way of peace, of good will, of harmony . . . W ait! Those terms are familiar, those concepts are not new— Two thousand years is a long time. But if we clear away the tu r moil and clutter and noise of the guns and the machines and the casih-regis-ters, if we turn off the loud-speakers and listen to our hearts, if we close our eyes to the newspapers and look within ourselves we find the answer waiting for us. We find the peace, the harmony, the fulfillment when we remember the figure of the Christ and the immensity of the Word. The shining clarity of the God- man’s philosoph- blazes down through the milleniae — still meaningful, still inspiring, still beautiful for all those who would hear and see. Ye who have ears and hear not. Ye who have eyes and see not . The answer is there, the word is there—Love. If we had love there would be no war front. The political ideologies would not be in conflict if they were based on love. If you replaced the fear in the hearts of men there would be no atom bomb. The figure of Christ is a symbol of an all-con suming, immeasurable love. As the Rizdvo Christove draws near, and we think of the gifts, the shopping, the cards, the par ties, and the decorations, as we plan our busy schedules, we must remember that the greatest gift is love, that our greatest acts are those conceived in love, that there is an answer for the despair and misery of our times. The answer has been with us for twenty hun dred years, it is still with us if we want it. ВЕСЕЛИХ СВЯТ І ЩАСЛИВОГО НОВОГО РОКУ Нашим Клієнтам і Прихильникам бажає MICHAEL DARMOPRAY Real Estate and Insurance 809 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET Philadelphia 23, Pa. Tel-: MA 7-3151 Eleanora Kulchycky
