Your Commitee Chairman Speaks To keep you. posted on the workings of the various committees of the League beginning with this issue various committees will re port, starting w ith: Your Organization Chairman Speaks. Summer is far behind us, and club season is on in full swing. Have you planned a good fall program for your branch to include: (1) Study and review of the XII Convention resolutions, and the new constitution. Major constitutional changes adopted will have an effect on your chapter, and the regional council set-up. Are you aware why these changes were necessary, and why your understand ing of them is so vital to your organization and its growth. (2) October is the month of Regional Council Conferences, and it should be part of the Junior Branches’ responsibility to lend your hand and talent to the program planning for the conference. We hope you have done so, as the League needs your support and benefit of your knowledge. (3)' Every senior and junior Branch can stand a transfusion — new blood — new members. Membership drive should be number one on your program. Why not start with your plans at the Regional Conference ? (4) Have you taken a resume of your branch’s work for the past year ? You might be amazed what this report might reveal — try it. If you haven’t planned it yet, no time like the present to. work out your year book. You might be interested in the year book of one chapter. Here it is. September meting — (1) Short businss meeting followed by guest speaker on “Embroidery, important aspect of Ukrainian folk art.” (2) October — business meeting followed by talk on Hetman Mazepa, by guest speaker from sister Branch. (3) Nov ember — Old World Market at the International Institute, folk arts display and food service project. That’s just a sample. Try it in your own branch and see what plans you can come up with. How about a book review on “The Ugly American” by W. J. Lederer and E. Bur dick — or “Ukrainian Woman in the Free World” published for the World Federation Congress. Interesting reading.

Anastasia Volker, Chairman INTERNATIONAL DAYS OF WUCWO Three International Days of the World Union of Catholic W o men’s Organizations were held in Paris, October 13-15. The sub ject of the days w ere: The re quirements of the Faith tin the face of contemporary material ism. The theme was- studied in jit-self, as well as through the works and the accomplishments of our movements. The last day was dedicated to the WUCWO campaign ‘The Hunger of Mankind.” Members of the conference also visited UNESCO to see the interersting work carried on there by Cath olics. On October 14 a Mass for the Silent Church was celebrated. The Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League of ,Canada, a member of WUCWO was represented there by Miss Martha Kalytovska from Paris. AN HISTORICAL DRESS In celebrating this year’s anni versary of Hetman Mazepa, the Ukrainian community’s interest in his life and times has taken form in a revival of widely diver sified fields in arts and crafts. An exhibition of churches and buildings is being prepared. Young Ukrainian girls have re created the intricately embroid ered garment of his period. A Pl-ast circle of young girls “Kalyna” in Newark, N. J., copied the young girl’s dress of the Ma zepa period. Their model was an historical portrait so difficult to work out they had to study Uk rainian painters and historians on its details; and get a designer to make the pattern for them. Fab ric similar to that period is di'f- Young wom an’s attire in Ukraine in XVIII century fieult to obtain. Finally, a heavy brocade in shades of blue was found. The girls donated the funds for the dress themselves; and worked collectively on em broidering the linen shirt. The dress was presentd at a Plast Rally in Newark, N. J., where an amazed and delighted audience congratulated these girls, and made them feel justly proud of their achievement. In accomplishing this intricate piece of work they learned much of the life and times of Hetman Mazepa, and to appreciate him, not only as a great and high-minded man in Ukrainian history, but as one who stands in the panorama of world figures.
