Headquarters News REPORT OF UNWLA BRANCH 60 IN CLEVELAND American women of U krainian descent, even to the second gene ration, feel the influences of their heritage especially at holi day tim es. It was h eart warm ing to see many young m arried wom en, some w ith American born m others, bring th eir baskets w ith babkas to be blessed this E aster. Vacations will soon be here, but there is still tim e for a pro gram or two — if not before summ er then planned for the fall. The Culture Chairm an’s Bibliography is a .good start. Your Regional Council could re commend a speaker (in English) for an evening devoted to the story of Olena Teliha and Alla Horska (victims of the KGB and Gestapo). Perhaps someone in your area can dem onstrate the decorating of an embroidered torte. Have you considered in viting “Senior Citizens” for a social evening w ith light enter tainm ent ? Don’t let your season close w ithout a substantial contribu tion to the OUR LIFE Press Fund. Have a “w hite elephant sale,” a bingo, etc., but do m ake a special effort to add your sup port. Alexandra Riznyk This year m arks the 100th an niversary of the birth of Kon- stantyna Malycka (1872-1947) noted civic leader, educator and author. In the course of her life this gifted journalist and w riter greatly influenced the U krain ian women’s movement. U krain- Branches are financing scholar ships for girls. Recently the UNWLA Regional Council in Rochester set up a Scholarship Fund in memory of its late head, Marie Kohutiak. UNWLA has made a lot of headway in its social welfare work. We encourage our m em bers to become acquainted w ith this work and to volunteer their services for those program s which interest them most. ian women’s organizations will m ark her centennial w ith com- m orative program s. Lubov Wolynets The educational comm ittee of UNWLA has published a series of lesson plans for Day Centers for non-Ukrainian speaking youngsters. The series was pre pared by V ira Andrushkiw, head of UNWLA Branch 96 in Detroit. Mrs. Andrusiw has successfully conducted such a Day Center in th a t city for several years. In the course of a year young sters gain an understanding of the U krainian language and learn to converse in simple sen tences. A Day Center for non- U krainian speaking pre-school ers can be established in any community where a teacher is willing to learn the teaching method. Olena Klymyshyn In looking over the financial reports of our Branches for 1971 we noticed th a t Branches more readily support various com m unity activities th an th eir own organizational undertakings. And our projects, like the Mu seum, ‘Our Life” magazine and Biographical Dictionary of U krainian Women, are receiving so little support. Shortly we will issue a statistical report based on our analysis of Branch re ports so Branches can see how they are spending their funds. Olha Mussakowska On the second anniversary of the death of my brother-in-law A nthony Lubowich, who died on February 23, 1970, my donation to Our Life Fund Anastasia Chruszcz, Toronto In memory of the late Mary Chum a, m other of Mrs. Rosalie Polche, our contribution to Our Life Fund John and Lesya Riznyk Long Island City, N.

Hostesses for the eve ning were Jo Hanogasky and Helen Greb. Members brought door prizes made by themselves. The Branch sponsored a U k rainian exhibit a t the Parm a Ridge Regional L ibrary on March 1—31, 1972. On display were oils by artists E. Kozak, L. Hutzaluk, A. M onastersky and A. Sovchik, as well as a copy of the icon of “Our Lady of Vyshhorod.” There were also enamels by Y.

The exhibit was put together by M ary Fedak, president, and Jenny Bochar, historian. It was such a success th a t the library asked perm ission to keep it up for a few weeks. The next m eeting was held at the Parm a L ibrary on April 6th, at which Miss Agnes Hubei of the library reviewed ‘Two Years in Soviet U kraine’ by John Ko- lasky. Our hostesses for the m eeting were Olga Hewis and Rose Alice Kolodij. The door prize was brought by Irene Fe dak.
