A Salute to Our Life By A nastasia Volker The TV and the radio are powerful media of communica tion, but the power of the w rit ten word is the greatest and m ost lasting. For tw enty years, the first, the largest, and the only independent women’s perio dical OUR LIFE has been the mouthpiece of the women, or ganized in the Ukrainian N ation al Women’s League of America. Its pages have reflected the ideals and ideas, the hopes and aspirations, the services and the problems, in fact the very life of Am erican-Ukrainian women. Meager as it m ight seem in the beginning, the magazine was a great step fo rw ard ; and the pride of its member readers. It has come a long way constantly improving and striving for the ultim ate in journalistic form at, quality and expression — and achieving it. A lthough the Journal, as it was then called, started out in the native language, it later be came bi-lingual. The English section, called the U krainian Woman, was introduced and stepped up w ith the rising need. Let us rem ember here the edit ors who have successively tried to do their best in the English section, during these 20 years. It was Helen F. D. Lototsky who started the first English pages. She was succeeded by Mildred Milanovich and Helen Mural. L ater Mrs. Lototsky took it over again and was succeeded by Ly dia Burachynska, who is present ly working on it in cooperation w ith Jean W olcott Piper. But let us be frank — our E ng lish pages never reached the scope of the U krainian phase. To lure the American reader of U krainian descent, the English pages of the magazine should re flect not only the cultural back ground, and the reporting of the various Chapters’ events, it should also offer the younger women more journalistic sub stance, and more challenge. It should deal w ith a variety of cur rent topics touching upon the day-to-day living and problems of the younger readers, as well as outstanding U krainian topics. While the Ukrainian phase of Our Life magazine has a Chil dren’s Corner, it is hoped th a t in the next epoch of its history it will open a Teen-Agers Corner in the English section . . . a spot for the teenage reader to express her views and ideas on a variety of subjects, including personal problems and conflicts. This would be opening a new avenue in our magazine to the tender and sensitive age group — young future Soyuzanky. Therefore let us think it over. Maybe one of our members would dare to take over this task and serve our English speaking Branches this way ? May be there is young journalistic tal ent among our readers? Do not hesitate to offer your pen to our magazine in order to link it bet te r w ith our present and future English speaking members. OUR LIFE has truly come of age, in its tw enty years of his tory, packed as it is w ith stories of its member branches, and U krainian events throughout the world. Our sincere and heartfelt congratulations on its 20th anni versary. May the next epoch be equally brilliant and surpass our fondest hopes. May its pages lure the great m ass of young read ers; and the power of w rit ten word in either language gather them into the bosom and the ranks of Soyuz Ukrainok. OUR LIFE we salute you! UCCA WASHINGTON NEWS W ith the W ashington Post re fusing to publish scores of let ters sent in protest of its mali cious and untruthful editorials, a series of addresses incorporating these letters and fu rth er docu m entary m aterial has been initi ated in Congress. Congressman Dulski commenced w ith an ad dress on “The Need of a Shev chenko Freedom Section in the L ibrary of Congress.” Published in the November 13 Congression al Record, the address states: “Caluculated slurs against the constructive efforts of imagined m inorities and tiny groups are expressions of arrogant ignor ance for which there is no room in our tradition.” The address in cludes groundbreaking press re ports, the address of Congress m an Lesinski, the brilliant Star article by Dr. Frederick Brown H arris, and Dr. Dobriansky’s first letter in complete tex t to the Post. Congressman Dulski ended w ith a detailed resolution for the Shevchenko Freedom Li brary in the L ibrary of Con gress. Following upon Congressman Dulski’s address, Congressman Derwinski spoke on November 14 on “Shevchenko — A Monu m ent to Freedom.” “I take this occasion,” he said, “to refute the m isinform ation published by the W ashington Post.” The Con gressm an’s address in the Con gressional Record places on dis play all the Post editorials, ex cept for the last one, along w ith Rosenfeld’s article, letters by form er Congressman Charles J. K ersten and Dr. Dobriansky, the Lewis article in the Star, and Congressman Feighan’s address. The November 20 Congression- all Record has another Dulski address, titled “Year For a Shev chenko Freedom Stamp — 1964,” w ith momre m aterial on the scandalous Post editorials. 20 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ — СІЧЕНЬ, 1964 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
