PROMINENT UK RA INIAN FROM BRAZIL GUEST OF UNW LA In November, 1966 Miss Nadia Schulan of Prudentopolis, Brazil visited the United States. She was on a tour of home economics institu tions w ith a group of home economics principals. A school principal herself, she got a scholarship from the Interna tional Development A gency in USA. She was delighted with what she saw here in th is field. Besides her home economics school in Prudentopolis, Miss Schulan also conducts the St. Olga Institute, a boarding home for girls of Ukrainian descent. A t the institution the girls are taught Ukrainian songs and dances and acquire a lot of knowledge about the country of their forefathers.
