His popularity in Uk raine, and the uprisings of faithful groups caused constant trouble to the bolshevic regime. Finally, through the hand of a terrorist, they killed Simon Petlura in 1926.

For the sake of her sick daughter she had to bear her husband’s death with fortitude. Finally, she lost (her too. Over come by her accumulated griefs, she lived in seclusion from then on.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACTIVITIES A most interesting report was presented at the XII Convention by the Ukrainian Junior Women’s League, Branch 60, Cleveland, O. Through its three active years — 1956-1959, the Branch developed many varied events, among which was a Cabaret on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. This is their only money-making event. Beside the annual Christmas party in December, another in January was started, called “Sviat-Vechir.” Each member prepares, by herself, from an Uk rainian Cook Book, a standard Holy Night dish, making up 12 different foods served. Husbands and wives were invited. Everyone sang Ukrainian Christmas carols, that were lovely and inspiring. In January 1959 this Sviat-Vecher had its picture, with a paragraph about it, in the Cleveland Press newspaper. During the Lenten season this Branch had a lesson on Ukrain ian Easter egg coloring, with each member bringing her own egg. This event proved so enjoyable it will be held again this year. The members received a mime ographed copy of a list of each member’s address and phone num ber and birthday. There was also an exhibit of furs. The Cleveland Fur Institute sen t a guest speaker with a film illustrating the trapping of fur- bearing animals. After the film, the furs were displayed, and de scribed. Helen L.
