Did you know th a t Toronto has 70 U krainian doctors, 50 U krainian law yers, 20 U k ra in ian pharm acists, 45 U krainian d en tists and 416 U krainian- owned grocery businesses?

T h at C ana da in th e course of th e 75 years of U krainian settlem en t th ere has called upon 75 U krainian Canadians to serve as p arliam en ta ria n s on th e provincial as well as federal level ? S enator P aul Yuzyk, form erly a professor of h isto ry and Slavic studies a t th e U niversity of M anitoba, gives a review of U krainian accom plishm ents in C anada and presents a forceful case fo r th e im portance of th e so called “th ird elem ent’ in C an adian life and culture. The “th ird elem ent” is com posed of th e non-B ritish and non-French ethnic groups, and U krainians w ith about h alf of one m illion of population are one of th e top groups in th a t category. S enator Y uzyk’s little book provides a w ealth of fascin atin g d ata. It has appeared sim ultaneously in th e E nglish and F rench editions. One m u st note w ith profound re g re t and some am azem ent th a t in th e U nited S tates w here th e U krainian group is num erically considerably stro n g er th a n in C anada leaders like S enator Y u zyk and handbooks such as th is one are conspicuous by th e ir ab sence.
