grants, closely bound to church and membership aid. The philosophy of SUA is ful ly embraced in Chapter 37. Mem bership varied as to educational plateaus, religious backgrounds, and a blending of American born and old im m igrants. The Chap ter is community minded, and has been the constant link be tween the American and the U krainian community through the International Institute, and its membership in the Federa tion of Women’s Clubs. Chapter has developed needle crafts, and fosters folk arts. Has been the dissem inator of knowledge about the U krainian people. Chapter 38 is our provincial Branch, about 70 miles out of D etroit in the capitol city of M ichigan; has very small but determined membership. Carol ing at the holiday tim e has given it distinction. The ethnic com m unity is not developed, and leaves much to be desired. Predom inantly new immi grants, Chapter 56 has attained great success in the am ateur th eater field. W ith outstanding leadership in the theater arts the chapter has presented excep tional historical epics, musicals, and satires. Culinary arts, com m unity interests, and needle craft another area of develop ment. Ambassadors of good will, out standing interpreters of U krain ian culture and traditions m ight well characterize Chapter 58. All American^born membership has broad community interests, and well developed needle crafts. In the field of public relations this chapter is a constant source of help. All newcomers comprise the membership of Chapter 63. Chapter has wide community in terest in the field of welfare, youth program , and education; cookery and embroidery out standingly well developed. Its annual feature is the “Veshyva- ni Vechernytzi.” This brief resum e m irrors the interests of the SUA Chapters in the D etroit Region, and the role of the Council has been to coordinate and guide the activi ties of the individual branches. In the collective sense the Re gional Council has done some ex ceptional things. Community representation through the In ternational Institute Customs and Ceremonies program , the Freedom Festivals, the H istori cal Museum Christm as Heritage exhibits, and the Easter-egg de corating program . M aintains perm anent cultural exhibit at the International Institute. How- T ro p h y aw ard ed fo r U k rain ian E aster eggs in D etro it, M ich. ever, much work is still to be done in coordinating our commu nity interests. Therefore the current year’s program will strongly emphasize community participation and representa tion ; building fund for SUA home in D etroit, and member ship drive which has adopted the m otto “each member gain a member in 1963.” This three plan point of action will occupy the Regional Council for the year, and we hope to carry it to fruition. A. Volker President EASTER EGG CONTEST Regional Council of the Ukrainian Women’s League of D etroit won a beautiful trophy as first award resulting from an ethnic groups’ E aster Egg con test. The contest was p a rt of the Polish Section of the Interna tional Institute during the Po lish Days program March 16 and 17, 1963, at the agency. The Po lish group invited all other na tionality groups connected with the International Institute to participate in this contest. The Regional Council subm itted four „Pysanky”, each from our top decorators — Mrs. M aria Dro- homyrecky, Mrs. M aria H ryhor- czuk, Mrs. Olga Karalash, and Mrs. Olga Petra. The prized “pysanky” of these talented women in our community won the Soyuz Ukrainok trophy, from am ongst the Albanian, German, Czech, Hungarian, Po lish and of course the Ukrainian groups. The trophy was awarded by the chairm an of the Polish Section, Mr. Joseph Kalienke- wicz on behalf of the Polish- American Chamber of Com merce. The ju ry judging the con test was comprised of Dr. Flor ence G. Cassidy, Prof. Thelma James, Tom M artin, and Mrs. Edna E. Jellinek. DARIA REBET ON HER ROUTE Mrs. D aria Rebet, a noted journalist and widow of the late U krainian leader, Dr. Lev Re bet, assassinated in 1957 by the bolshevik spy, Stashynsky, has been on a lecture tour in the United States. Mrs. Rebet is Vice-President of the Ukrainian Women’s Organization in Ger many, and therefore had many problems to share w ith U krain ian women in the U.S.A. and Canada. She visited the UNWLA H eadquarters in Philadelphia, Pa., and the UNWLA Regional Council in D etroit, Michigan.
