Paska Baking Contest Sponsored by Regional Council in Detroit The Regional Council o>f SUA Detroit sponsored a paska baking- contest among- i’ts seven Chapters in the area. Although individual chapters had undertaken this pro ject in former years, this was the first time that the Council put forth the effort. The contest was brought suc cessfully to a close Tuesday, Mar. 17, at the International Institute. Local papers were most coopera tive and covered our project by giving us wonderful publicity. Each Chapter was to send in its entries, and the following result ed: Contestants : Chapter 5 — Aha- fia Halyshyn, paska from pro vince Zboriv, village Kabarivtzi. Chapter 5 — Maria Sosnowsky, paska from province Rutki, vil lage Komarno. Chapter 23 — Maria Czeryba, paska from province Lubachiv, village Zapaliv- Chapter 26 — Maria Wasko, paska from province Zovkva, vil lage Borove. Chapter 26 — Maria Budor, pa ska from province Kaminka. Chapter 37 — Anna Nakonecz- ny, paska from province Lviv, Chapter 63 — Maria Drohomy- recka, paska from province Ivolo- meya, village Bereziv. We were interested to revive the art of paska baking and stim ulate our members to share their talents with the general public as well as the younger women of Ukrainian descent. Although numerous provinces of Ukraine were represented, ba sically the recipe and decorative motifs were principally similar. Each had the cross out of the same dough as the paska, which is symbolic and other decorations such as rosettes, chicks, braided wreaths. The judges had no dif ficulty in awarding first prize as one entry was so unusual and so individual that it was in a class by itself. This paska also had the decorations made out of dough ■other than base. Food editors from the papers were most in trigued with the intricacy of de sign in doves, chics, sucklings, lambs, flowers. The winners were — Mrs. Ma ria Drohomyreeka, first — Chap ter 63 member, Mrs. Maria Che- ryba, second prize, Chapter 23, and Mrs. Anna Nakoneczny, third prize — Chapter 37. The project created a great deal of interest, and holding it at the International Institute gave us an opportunity to display the paskas all day. Some forty Girl Scout leaders, and at least another sixty persons gathered to the member ship dinner view our display of paskas and Easter eggs. We had to explain to the interested audi ence that paska is a bread, symbo lic of the Last Supper, and holds the most prominent spot on the Easter festive table. It is not a sweet dough, and has many leg ends, symbolisms, and folktales aside from the religious aspect. We urge that regional councils in other areas plan a .project of this type next year, and they will find their efforts as rewarding as we did. A. Volker 1959-60 — DISPLACED PERSONS* YEAR Not long ago the Third Com mittee of the UN examined the so-called “displaced persons’ question.” The High Commission er reported that in Europe this problem is almost solved- Nearly half a million have already emig rated to other countries. Left be hind is the “hard core” of the im migrants, — the old and those unable to work. 'On the other hand there is a great influx o.f displac ed persons in the Near East and Algeria. At the same time world’s interest and aid are slowly wan ing. Great Britian's representative has proposed to proclaim a world wide Displaced Persons’ Year be ginning this June 1959 as a means of combatting this issue. This plan aims at centering the world’s attention on the immigrants’ question; it may create new pos sibilities. Each country is to carry out this program in a way best suited to its means and resources. This project opens great new opportunities before the Ukrain ian public, who constitute per haps the largest group among the displaced persons During this year it will be our duty to share our hard-won experience with, others and to inform the free world about the issues and diffi culties accosting the displaced persons. From the paska baking contest in Detroit, Mich. From left to right: first prize, awarded to Mrs. Maria Drohom y- recka, second prize to Mrs. Maria Cheryba and third prize to Mrs. Anna Nakonechny.
