OUR LIFE M ONTHLY, 'published by Ukrainian National Womens League of America Vol. XXIX. MAY, 1972 Roads Lead to Rome This is a proverb whose origin may date as far back as the an cient Romans. But the words take in a very contemporary meaning when we talk about planned vacation trips to Eur ope. The possibilities are endless, depending almost entirely on how much you want to spend on your trip, whether you like to travel in large groups or alone, etc. But regardless of how and with whom you go and which European countries you decide to visit, don’t forget to visit Rome and its Ukrainian centers of study and culture. Even if you attended the recent dedication of St. Sophia’s Cathedral in Rome, you will find that much addi tional work has been done on the Cathedral and new buildings have sprung up in the vicinity. Rome also has the Ukrainian Catholic University which offers summer courses in a wide vari ety of study areas. Even if you have no desire to enroll in a course, you may still be interest ed in seeing the University buildings and its environs. Also worth seeing is the an cient church of St. Sergius and Bacchus which reverted back to the Ukrainian Catholic Rite through the efforts of His Emi nence Josef Cardinal Slipyj. This ancient edifice is mute testimony to our early contacts with the Western world and our rich cul tural heritage. Attached to the church is an old monastery where very comfortable lodgings may be obtained. A stay in Rome may be util ized not only for sightseeing, but also as an opportunity to offer one’s services for work in a Ukrainian library, museum or even in a monastery garden. It’s a known fact that working on some project or taking care of something makes it that much dearer to us. The Ukrainian in stitutions of Rome will take on more meaning for us when we become involved in their work. No. 5. TELEGRAM The following telegrams were sent by the UNWLA Executive Board to President and to Mrs. Nixon on May 17 and May 28 re spectively : Mrs. Richard M. Nixon The White House Washington, D. C. We hope your visit to Kiev will be most rewarding, Mrs. Nixon. But wish to inform you that behind the lovely facade there is much sorrow. Thousands of Ukrainian women are in Si berian slave labor camps. Red Cross workers are serving twen ty-five year sentences. Ukrain ian women in arts and profes sional fields arrested for de manding human rights, cultural and religious freedom. Artist Al la Horska murdered in Kiev. Wives and children of arrested Ukrainian intellectuals and of other patriots persecuted with loss of jobs and homes. Where are Soviet propagandized human rights in Ukraine? Executive Board Ukrainian National Women’s League of America * Dear Mr. President: The Executive Board of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, the oldest and largest organization of American women of Ukrain ian descent, based in Phila delphia, Pa., turns to you, Mr. President, with an appeal to raise your voice in defense of Ukrainian intellectuals who were recently arrested and are being unjustly persecuted. We ask you to intercede especially on behalf of the women prisoners and the wives and children of the arrest ed who suffer unmerciful perse- Oksana Laturynska INTERCESSION Their arms were raised in supplication, parched lips interpolated gravely: “For those who perished from starvation for those who fell in battle, bravely.” And bowing low, they interceded for those who sank while on the sea . for the unknowns, who died unheeded. All weeping humbly, silently they bowed, the sisters and the widows, mothers and fiancees — the same. And candle wax was shedding tear drops for those who died without a name.
