Please accept a w reath of our prayers for the repose of His Soul, consolation of your troubled h eart and condo lence to your Family. Our Country lost a courage ous Leader, great Statesm an, a man of great ideals. His untim ely death is m ourn ed also by the members of the U krainian National Women’s League of America. W ith compassion, we rem ain your m ost sincerely, Helen F. D. Lototsky President Irene Kachanivsky Secretary WASHINGTON POST AFFAIR Following the U krainian Con gress Committee’s report, in the previous issue, UNWLA Head quarters sent out a new sletter to all Branches stating our view point on The W ashington P ost’s critical articles, concern i ng the erection of a Shevchenko monu m ent in our capital. These a rti cles aroused indignation among all Ukrainians in the USA. Therefore all our members are asked to express their opinion in letters to the Editor of The W ashington Post. WOMAN PA IN TER’S EXHIBIT IN NEW YORK Branch 64 of UNWLA in New York City arranged, on Nov. 14, 1963, a complete exhibit of the paintings of Irene Shukhevych. Mrs. Shukhevych is the oldest Ukrainian woman painter living in the Free World. The exhibit included her form er and recent works. Many visitors viewed her paintings and expressed their ap preciation of her fine talent. O lena S tep an iw OLENA STEPANIW The U krainian Legion, formed in A ustria during World W ar II was outstanding not only as the first U krainian Arm y in modern tim es but as having women among its ranks. They were not in auxiliary service like modern WACS. These enthusiastic young girls had to overcome many difficulties in order to serve in the same capacity as men. The most outstanding among them was Olena Stepaniw. Her recent death in Lviw, Ukraine, reminded us again of her heroic achievements. Olena Stepaniw attained the rank of an o fficer; and later became a prisoner of war. A beautiful young woman with firm character, she became popular: many folk songs were composed in her behalf. A fter World W ar I Olena Ste paniw became a teacher, with special interest in economic geo graphy. In later years she work ed scientifically and published several books. As an outstand ing scholar and patriot she was arrested by Soviet occupants in 1949 and deported to a concen tration camp. A fter serving 7 years of forced labor, she was released and returned to Lviv, where she spent her last years in retirem ent. НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ — СІЧЕНЬ, 1964 21
