UNWLA Highlights The conferences of the Regional Councils of UNWLA have ended for this year. The main subject put forward by the Central Office as a theme for discussion was the action to strengthen our Organization. The problems for deliberation were the putting in order of all af fairs of the Branches, paying attention to By-laws, examination of economy of the Branches, closer contact with the Central Office, and — most of all — an agreeable atmosphere. All these' problems are of great import to the growth of our Organization. The Central Office has recently received the reports of creation of new Branches of UNWLA. There has been formed a new Branch in Philadelphia, consisting of 34 members. It received No. 43. The first steps in organizing this Branch were taken by Mrs. Stephanie Pushkar. The Branch 43 has already started its activity in the field of so cial work. Another Branch was organized at Lorain; Ohio, which has receiv ed the number 69. Mrs. Catherine Mural, from Cleveland, was active and helpful in bringing this new society into being. The Central Office wishes to thank our Vice-Presidents for their efforts and work offered in forming the new Branches, and welcomes them into our great patriotic family. The Central Office is mailing now the Membership Cards for ev ery UNWLA member, to the Branches which have sent in the lists of their members. A card contains the first and last name of the member and the space for membership fees. Thus the member will have an evidence that she is a member of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America. Women’s Participation in International Affairs At a reception given recently in New York City by the Nation al Council of Women of the United States in honor of the On December 8 Branch 8 at the Ukrainian Hall in Bronx, N. Y., and Branch 26 at the Ukrain ian National Club in Detroit, Mich. On November 4 the Interna tional Women's Exhibition in New York will take place. The New York Regional Council of UNWLA will have there two stands. On November 9 there will be a Ukrainian program during which Mrs. Helen Lototsky will address the audience. United States Mission to the United Nations, Ambassador Lodge compared the U. N. char ter to the Ten Commandments — a code of behavior endorsed by all and not observed or followed by so many, but which is not dis carded for that reason. He point ed out that the machinery of the United Nations consists of mo bilizing public opinion and that when the UN Assembly takes a turn, however small, away from war, it justifies its existence. He expressed his pleasure in address ing the National Council of W o men which in his words “—takes such great interest in world af fairs and has so much influence.” Mrs. William B. Parsons, Pres ident of the National Council of Women of the United States, who had returned from Europe the day before, spoke briefly about President Eisenhower’s People to People program. Her trip to Eu rope was as a member of the Wo men's Hospitality Committee, one of the committees on all subjects that make up this program. The broad aim of the project is to bring about a greater understand ing among the people of the world through small committee meetings on various topics con cerned with everyday living. The People to People program has great support throughout Eur ope, where committees have been formed as part of a Congress of Europe and American Associa tions. The program is gaining re cognition all over the world. One of the projects of the Hospitality Committee is to help American women who live abroad, to learn to be a part of the community in which they live. I foimd Mrs. Par son’s comments on this very in teresting since I have read the several articles which have ap peared in OUR LIFE on the ‘tri als and tribulations of living in a foreign country.’ Mrs. Oswald B. Lord, an alter nate representative on the United States Delegation, spoke of the ever growing participation of the women of world in national and. international affairs. She suggest ed that the National Council of Women organize seminars on to pics of prime interest to women in which the feminine representa tives of various countries could exchange views and ideas. I hope the National Council follows Mrs. Lord’s suggestion and such meet ings would be most interesting and enlightening. The members of the United States Mission were introduced and a little of each one’s back ground was given. The reperesen- tatives answered several ques tions put to them by the ladies present. There was much disap pointment at the absence of the most glamorous member of the Mission, Irene Dunne, who was unable to attend. The touch of glamor, however, was supplied by Myrna Loy, who was among the ladies attending the reception.
