Mrs. M ary D ushnyck, U N W LA o r g anization C h airm an and secretary of “W om en fo r Freedom , Inc.” gives her re p o rt at th e C onvention of G en e ra l F ed eratio n of W om en’s Clubs in A taln tic C ity, N. J. w ith our songs — th e songs of an enslaved people. T hey are really U krainian envoys, who pave th e w ay fo r our cultural values and our striv in g fo r freedom . T heir singing of our songs is listened to and adm ired in royal m ansions, a t in tern atio n al festivals and com petitions, a t U krainian concerts in B russels, A m sterdam , Rome, H am burg and P aris. How could one single hum an being, a devoted conductor, in spire a foreign people, descend an ts of sailors and conquerors to sing our U krainian — “Shche ne vm erla U k rain a” — a t form al concerts, in d ifferen t countries, w ith th e sam e hom age w ith which th ey sing th e ir own a n them . The la st dense cluster of houses, in th e B elgian city H as- selt are p ast. U nder th e wheels th e sm ooth highw ay again lead us to th e D utch border. L arge boards greeted us, in th is coun try . A red-headed D utchm an checking our p assports w ished us a pleasant tim e. On leaving, we rem em ber our firs t passing, a fte r m idnight, w hich caused some w orry to tw o young borderm en. They argued about our Displaced Persons passports, w hich th ey had seen fo r th e firs t tim e and could not under stand how we crossed th e ir bor der. They called a th ird one fo r help, checked a huge law book, phoned and finally retu rn ed us our passports, w ithout saying a word... As we neared our firs t D utch stop, E idenhofen, we saw how g re a t th e change, a fte r F rance. The m any storehouses greeted us w ith crystal-clear windows, and fresh flow ers. Flow ers in w in dows, under windows, along th e stree t. T his told us we w ere in th e N etherlands, th e country of flow ers. W e w ere greeted also by th e m odern railw ay statio n and th e statu e of Philips, w hich stands in fro n t of th e station. N ot in vain is th is city of Eind- hofen called th e C ity of L ight, being p lan t h ead q u arters of th e renow ned discoverer. W herever you move here, all has been built by Philips. W e passed th e plant w here his nam e appears in a sharp neon light. N ear th e flow er-surrounded block our friends aw aited us. On th e m orrow our w ay led to V en ice of th e N o rth — A m sterdam — a new m eeting w ith th e By zantine Choir.

T ranslated by Jean Wolcott Piper THE PRESIDENT’S ANNIVERSARY The U N W LA B oard and Re gional Council of P hiladelphia celebrated on June 14, 1964 th e 70th an n iv ersary of M rs. H elen Lototsky, P resid en t of UNW LA. T his celebration g ath ered re p re sentatives of U N W LA B ranch es as well as of o th er U krainian organizations. The m ain address w as delivered by M rs. K atherine Peleshok, P r esident of the Audit Com m ittee. M any greetings and felicitations w ere offered by th e representatives. THE MONUMENT The unveiling of th e sta tu e of T aras Shevchenko in W ashing ton, D. C. on June 27, 1964 w as a g re a t event. I t shook, to th e very core of his being, every U k rain ian in th e F ree W orld, w ith awe and love for th e g re a t U krainian poet. It was as if, w ith th e u n veiling of his statue, his words becam e alive and spoke anew fo r his enslaved hom eland. The im portance of our event was visibly increased by th e fa ct th a t on June 10, 1964 a sta tu e of th e poet was unveiled in Moscow. So g re a t was his voice from th e p a st th a t Soviet ru lers could not hide th e ir hom age to Shevchen ko, th e g re a t U krainian poet th u s show ing th ey considered him not only a cultural b u t a po litical leader. T hrough th is al m ost sim ultaneous im itation th ey th o u g h t to eclipse th e U k rain ian s in th e F ree W orld. B ut, “A ctions speak louder th a n w ords.” T heir dem onstrative effo rts over th is statu e is a p itifu l les son fo r everyone involved in U k ra in e ’s struggle fo r freedom . O ur every step is w atched and evaluated. W hether it be a book, a m usical festival, a postage stam p or a C aptive N ations W eek, it is im m ediately followed by oppressive m easures from th e Soviet ru lers th a t opens another vein, from w hich flows th e n a tional energy of th e people of U kraine. D espite Soviet w ishes to th e contrary, th e sta tu e of T aras Shevchenko now stands in W ash ington, D.C., not only as a sym bol of our pride and achievem ent, b u t as a rem inder of th e necessi ty fo r everlasting zeal and endea vor by U krainians in th e F ree W orld. The engraved w ords of th e P oet — “F reedom know s no dying” should lead us in our life and work. Do you take an active part To help the work along, Or are you satisfied to be The kind that just belong? 1 8 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ — ЛИПЕНЬ - СЕРПЕНЬ, 1964 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
