garten groups, play groups and children’s libraries. The cultural committee strives to maintain an interest in Ukrainian affairs among the adults. Its attention is focused on the formation of women’s choirs and the presentation of exhibits and festivals. Two pro jects which originated in this committee are worthy of special note: the Literary Award of WFUWO and the Women’s Book Clubs. The Award is granted each year for two outstanding literary works by Ukrainian women authors; the Book Clubs bring together people with an in terest in Ukrainian literature. A special group of specialists helps preserve folk art heritage by publishing designs for em broidery and ceramics, and by organizing various lectures, demonstrations, and exhibits. The welfare committee helps Ukrainian people in the Free World solve problems arising from new conditions, new laws and often bewildering circum stances. The welfare activity of the Ukrainian women’s organi zations faces a double task: to help the Ukrainian people adjust to the welfare programs of the country, and to help and sustain them where the country’s wel fare ends. This committee ori ginated the establishment of a voluntary women’s service to help persons needing aid and ad vice. The Press and Publishing com mittee works closely with the magazines OUR LIFE and WOMAN’S WORLD in inform ing the reading public of WFU- WO’s work. BOOK REVIEW The next three books, al though not by Ukrainian au thors, are illustrated by Yaro slava Surmach Mills, and can also help the American mother of Ukrainian descent introduce her young children to the beauti ful heritage of her forebears through the happy and colorful pictures. Although these are called picture books — the illus trations tell the story — they can be read and enjoyed by a 3rd grader. Picture books are also meant to be read to youngsters. The Mitten. An old Ukrainian folk tale, retold by Alvin Tress- ler, is illustrated by enchanting animal characters dressed in Ukrainian costumes. This book was very favorably received by the New York Times, Saturday Review and other professional publication. It was selected as one of the notable children’s books of 1964. A Stocking for a Kitten by Helen Kay, is the story of a grandmother’s love and the les son she teaches her granddaugh ter in forgiveness. The charac ters in the book are villagers. An Egg is for Wishing by the same author, published in 1966, gives Yaroslava an opportunity to use her great interest and vast knowledge of the history and making of pysanky in illus trating this delightful story of a little boy who wants to get an egg from the henhouse for his mother to make a pysanka — but he is afraid of the rooster.
