of the oppression Communism im poses on enslaved people Also the Congress stated that the Russian-bolshevik regime is threatening the whole Free W orld through its aggression. The duty of Ukrainian women is now to join the struggle against communism in their new home lands. A luncheon on June 26 and a banquet on June 27 were the so cial parts of the Congress pro gram. At the luncheon greetings from prominent political persons were read, many of which were from Congressmen and Senators of the United States of America. The banquet was attended by pro minent guest speakers — Con gresswoman Florence Dwyer, Mrs. De W itt Stetten, Vice-Pres ident of the National Council of Women in the United States of America, and Mrs. Simmons, State Secretary of the State of New York. Coverage of the Congress, its reports and pictures was exten sive in the Ukrainian-American press. The Hon. Kenneth Keating, United States Senator from New York placed a notice about it in the Congressional Record on June 23, 1959, Vol. 105, No. 104, page 10517, as well as a resume about the Ukrainian cause. So large was the Exhibition of Ukrainian arts and crafts done by Ukrainian women artists in the free world that the paintings had. to be set along the back and side walls of the auditorium. In the room intended to house the whole exhibition the walls were com pletely lined with folk art prod ucts — priceless embroideries, and ceramics of a very high qual ity fired in the kilns of the Ameri- can-Ukrainian artists, and the beautiful and intricate Easter egg patterns, the customs of which goes so far back into the centu ries as to be almost unknown. The most talented of all the ar tists in the various exhibitions were honored by awards. In the middle of the Exhibi tion Room was a long table that held the literature done by Uk rainian writers, most of it in the Ukrainian language. When one could beguile a busy attendant, or a chance observer into trans lating the titles, and possibly the briefest snatch of the theme of some of the books, one was left in a perfect ferment as to what the rest of the fascinating con tents might be; and an insatiable longing for translations. New elections of the Board brought in new members. The President was re-elected — Mrs. Olena Salisniak, an old leader of the Ukrainian feminist move ment. She resides in Canada, where two Vice-Presidents and some Committee Chairmen also live. The Secretariat of the WFUWO is housed in the world headquarters at 909 N. Franklin St., Philadelphia, where Mrs. Helen Lototsky, Vice-President of WFUWO is responsible for the conduct of its affairs. Ukrainian women left the Con gress with a satisfying sense of accomplishment, and with a deep resolve to pursue their charted way for the future. THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT The World Federation of Ukra inian Women’s Organizations sent a following letter of thanks to the the President of the United States. Mr. Dwight D. Eisenhower, President The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President : Your Proclamation signed the 17th day of July, in the year of Our Lord 1959, and of the Inde pendence of the United States of America the 184th, following the joint resolutions of Congress, de signating “the 3rd week in July, beginning July 19, 1959 as Captive Nations W eek; and, declaring that “a similar Proclamation shall be issued each year until such time as freedom and independence shall have been achieved by the nations of the world” is one of the most outstanding documents of the will of the people of this na tion to struggle for the freedom and independence of all nations on Earth. So long as Communist tyrany, with its inhuman system of con centration camps exists, and en joys its evil, self-styled “succes ses,no real freedom, no real peace can dwell in the hearts and souls of citizens of the free world, for they are conscious of the m ar tyrdom of those deprived of man kind’s most cherished treasure —- freedom.
