cooperated in the program, espe cially noted the Ukrainian vol unteers brought by Mrs. Dush nyck, and stated the costumes worn by them were from dif ferent regions of Ukraine. The Ukrainian element was evident throughout the pro gram : the charming Ukrainian students in their colorful cos tumes, with two of the girls called to the stage to help with the prizes; during the fashion show commentator Farncine Farkas referred to a summer outfit as a cotton peasant dress of Ukraine imported from Ru mania ; credit was given in the official program to the UNWLA benefit-aides, and the Ziegfeld Theater doorman, who is half Ukrainian, was so overjoyed at seeing the Ukrainian group that he kept talking away in Ukrain ian. Even the New York Daily News mentioned the “volunteers in colorful Ukrainian costumes.” Countess A. Paolozzi, Mrs. L. Rosenthal and Mrs. D. Cogan served as co-chairmen of this worthy international program ,in which the UNWLA was able to participate and contribute to wards its success. M. D. ST. OLGA’S INSTITUTE IN BRAZIL As is generally known, we have a large Ukrainian popula tion in Brazil. They settled in the state of Parana some 80 years ago and have built up com munities with their own church es, and business and civic insti tutions. The m ajority of the Ukrainians in Brazil live on farms. Because the economy of Brazil is under-developed, the largest part of the Ukrainian population there has not ad vanced beyond the level of semi skilled farmers. To raise the educational stand ards of the Ukrainian population in Brazil, a group of young wom en founded St. Olha’s Institute in Curitiba in 1940, a boarding school for girls where farm youngsters are taught various skills at the Institute’s own Home Economics School, or are directed to various academic schools for professional training. The Institute is not a founda tion and thus receives no public funds. The m ajority of St. Ol ha’s students live and study in the Institute free of charge be cause their parents cannot af ford to pay tuition fees. The school is taught by the Catechites of the Sacred Heart, a lay women’s order which was founded to instruct the Ukrain ian population of Brazil in the catechism. They founded St. Ol ha’s Institute and run it with no financial remuneration. UNWLA became interested in this fine educational institu tion and has devoted part of its funds to help the school finan cially. UNWLA Branches have financed 4 scholarships at the institution, and there is a w ait ing list for many more students. The Branches which gave the scholarships are: Br. 33 in Cleveland, Br. 64 in New York, Br. 68 in Syracuse, and Br. 101 in Chicago. Other Branches, namely Br. 50 in Ann Arbor, Mich., Br. 89 in Kerhonkson, N. Y., and Br. 102 in Hammond, Ind., have al so offered to help. The scholar ships are given in the amount of $15 monthly for a period of 10 months per year. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Ukraine Can N ever Be Lost I enjoy the magazine OUR LIFE very much and wish you all much success in the future, for with people like you and all Ukrainians doing their part for Ukraine — Ukraine can never be lost or forgotten with its beauti ful culture and traditions. My guests always like my embroi dery work and when I tell them the work is part of our Ukrain ian tradition, they are surprised and say they thought embroi dery work was a hobby, not a tradition. And now I have some girls coming twice a week to learn how to do pysanky and they are enjoing it very much. Yours truly, Anna Zajac Vineland Station, Ont.
