rubles. Officially it is equal to $75.00, but when purchasing- pow er of a ruble amounts only to 8 cents, then the monthly pay of a Soviet w orker really is no more than $25.00 Thus it is plain that the Soviet woman had to go to work, and take any job she was able to secure. And since the w or kers in USSR are “legally” a t tached to th eir localities and their jobs, it goes w ithout saying that they are not able to travel and secure other kinds of employ ment. In the .Soviet trade unions the woman w orker could not find protection, of her interests, since these are governm ent-controlled institutions and therefore have to guard prim arily the interests of the employer. Mrs. Gould says that her “over all impression of the Russian peo ple is of a group of grim, busy, determined, stolid people, engag ed in an enormous enterprise.” This grandiose “enterprise” is the whole system of USSR which has subjugated the entire nation. In such atm osphere the women, no doubt, could lose the characteris tics of their femininity and be come deprived of their charm cul tivated by the women of the rest of the world. UN STATUS OF WOMEN COMMISSION On April 5 the 11th session of •the UN Status of W omen Com mission closed at New York. The subjects of the session w ere: the access of women to education, part-tim e work, older women workers, private law, taxation. But the most .stress was laid on equal pay for equal work. The commission is of particular significance since it presents the forum where there is the possibi lity for the representatives of the nations of the Free W orld to meet the representatives of the nations from behind the Iron Curtain. And this is the only ground where they may m easure their strength. The bolsheviki sent to the commission representatives of Russia (RSFSR), Byelorussia and Poland, still others perceive why they are assigned to be pre sent at the .sessions of the com- mussion. Xamcly, Ihey argue that all questions mentioned above had been solved in USSR and other communist-dominated countries for long time past. They partici pate in the sessions for the mere sake of propaganda. From time to time the}^ make speeches on the achievements of Soviet woman hood in each of like spheres. Their motions are directed solelv at an attem pt to divulge the difficulties the women of the Free W orld en counter, so as to make use of them in their propaganda. E.g. the motion by a Polish delegate in viting the .Secretary General to prepare a special study of the sta tus of women in the non-self-gov erning territories. In order to div ert the attention from exploiting the women in USSR, they ask for elucidation of the status of women in remote lands of Africa. The Status of W omen Commis sion is a small segment of the pro gram of the United Nations. UKRAINIAN EASTER CUSTOMS DISPLAYED IN CHICAGO The women of Branch 22 of the Ukrainian National W om en’s League of America, sponsored a pre-Easter “P aska” and “Pysan- ka” evening which was held Sat urday, April 6 th, to which the en tire Ukrainian colony was invited as well as Chicagoans of other nationalities. The topic was presented with an elaborate exhibit of U krain ian culture. An E aster breakfast table was displayed w ith the fin est Ukrainian embroidered linen high-lighted with sprigs of fresh m yrtle and set with beautiful ta ble decorations of candles in un usual ceramic candle holders and fresh daffodils in attractive cera mic vases and graced with the priceless carved and beaded plates which held the traditional “pas- kas,” “babkas,” cheese cakes, cheese and glazed fruit molds, tortes, glazed ham “kobasa,” butter, horse radish, colored eggs and the intricately designed “py- sankas.” The program started w ith a welcoming address by Mrs. Rose Sydoryk, President and hostess of the evening. Dr. Ivanna Gor- chinsky delivered a talk on E ast er customs in different parts of Ukraine. Miss Marie Chychula gave a recitation entitled “E aster in U kraine.” The art of making the U krain ian "‘pysanka” was dem onstrated bv Misses Vera Stawniak and La- verne Korduck, Mrs. Valeria Chy chula and Mrs. Ewdochia H aw ry- liuk, and many of the guests took advantage of their instructions. This proved to be a very inter esting part of the program, as it offered both adults and children an Opportunity of m aking their own E aster egg. It was amazing to see the many white eggs trans formed into beautifully desined and colored “pysankas” ready for the E aster basket. M any “babkas” and “paskas” were decorated w ith the trad i tional braid anl cross. One “pas ka” even had little doves on it. Likewise, the tortes were prepar ed in an E aster spirit being iced with beautiful floral decorations and bearing the lettering “Chris tos Voskres.” The American guests, who saw for the first time such an incon ceivably different display of work of art in the preparation of food, were so fascinated that they wish ed to take some home. T here fore, everything that was exhi bited, was sold by Mrs. Anna W a- sylowsky, who was an auctioneer. This indeed was a compliment to the women on the Planning Com mittee, and their chairman Mrs. Lydia Pohotowko, who prepared IN MEMORIAM To the Glory of God and in loving memory of MRS.
