UKRAINIAN WOMAN OUR ENGLISH COLUMN Our Campaign L ast January we have started a special campaign to gain new members for UNWLA. The slo gan was — to get 500 new mem bers and thus to honor the me mory of valiant 500 women who died under bolshevik tanks in Kingir, Kazakhstan, in defence of their fellow countrymen. W e called for new 500 patriotic U k rainian w orkers to prove that the struggle for freedom of Ukraine never dies. In this issue of 'Our Life we present the result of our cam paign in the first half of 1957. It is insignificant. TheRegionalCoun- cils have chosen their separate ways of securing new members, hence we shall be able only later on to make out which one has been m ost successful. However, we rejoice when the young U kra inian women follow into the foot steps of their patriotic m others and join the UNW LA, their be'st and most famous creation iin the free world. W e rejoice because this proves that our O rganization will live on and will survive for the good and glory of (Ukraine E. q. the juvenile Branch 58 of UNW LA in D etroit gained the following five new m em bers: Olga Litzak, Jenny M ateryn, Jan Sorgione, Kay Vincent, Olga Zankevitch. This we deem the beginning of great succes. W hat ought a juvenile Branch to do to fulfill its patriotic duty? —someone m ay challenge. The UNW LA Branch 66 of New Haven, Conn., which consists of Am erican born and newcomers alike, may show the way. It has evolved the fostering of U krain ian art. The Branch has by now a female choir, it presented a show of U krainian folk costumes and of designing E aster eggs. Owing to these efforts the Branch could afford to arrange several shows that presented the U krainian folk culture to Am e rican visitors. Yet this is but one possibility. Surely there will be found more in the course of action. All that is .needed, is good will and under standing. And there are so many things to be done! The m ost urgent necessity is the cultivating of intercom m uni cation w ith the foreign world. The latest issue of Our Life had an interview" with, a delegate from Pakistan, as told to Mrs. Alex andra Riznyk from New York. This contact and cooperation is necessary not merely for UNW - LA, or the Ukrainians in general. It is likewise vital to the A m eri can world which through these interconnections is learning to know better the foreign nations. W e can note such keen interest of U nited States in foreign na tions when the Americans are creating such institutes like “People to People,” or such ac tions like “Letters Abroad” etc., Avith th e object of bringing clos'er the countries of the free world, as well as to exert some influence, whenever possible, on the op pressed peoples behind the Iron Curtain. There is a number of such efforts, like m utual visits of students and artists, as well as studying at colleges, sojourns of youth, hospitality committees etc. All these efforts are m eant to draw the nations nearer to one another. Could not such activities, in part, be included within the limits of our O rganization? Our age or place o.f birth does not m atter w hen we embark on such an en terprise, since we all stand up for exalted ideas—for the ideals of love of liberty which has blos somed so richly on American soil. DESIGNATION FOR 1957 The Editorial Committee of O'ur Life announces in this issue its proposal to designate the best young talent in 1957. There are many young talented Ukrainian women who have already made themselves known within our community. Some have graduated from the colleges with fine re cord, others have distinguished themselves in some profession, still others have hit their m ark in some branch of art. Nowr, it is advisable to make one’s m ark among general public, for this surely would give them more confidence and encourage ment. The Editorial Committee is calling upon our readers to sub mit the names of young talents in your localities. W e also wish to have a brief biography and a photo of such a talent. There will be a special jury which will m ark out a chosen one for the honor. The result of this competition will be announced in the issue for January, 1958. A UKRAINIAN WOMAN AT A CONGRESS IN ASIA Last spring there wras held a congress of Asian Peoples’ Anti- communistic League at Saigon (Indo-China). As a member of the delegation of Anticommunist - ic Bloc of Nations took p art in the gathering Mrs. Slava Stetzko. The Ukrainian press printed several of her detailed corres pondences on the journey to the congress. After the congress was over she went to the island of Taiwran where she paid visit to Mrs. Chiang Kai-Shek. When you change your address don’t forget to send ten cents for cost of printing.
