O U R LIFE M ONTHLY, 'published by Ukrainian National Womens League of America Vol. XXX. FEBRUARY, 1973 No. 2 Bohdan Lepkiy THE SNOW Like downy feathers of a swan The snow is slowly settling. When you wake up — the world around Will be in snow-white setting. The trenches will be levelled off, Where death had stalked its prey, Where fierce red rage, and black revenge Had lately held their sway. And you will not know who died where — Friend or foe — unyielding. The snow has lulled them all to sleep, Deep and never-ending. How each had lived, for what he died, Whom each had loved and how, The spirit of forgiveness shields Each one forever now. Translated by Tetiana Shevchuk N C W in Its E ig h t ie s The National Council of Wom en of the United States (NCW) which is celebrating its 85th an niversary this year can look back on a record of ever-expanding achievement during eight and a half fruitful decades. Since its very inception NCW has striven to bring together women of wide ly divergent areas of interest who were in the vanguard of the struggle for women’s rights but who are now meeting the chal lenges and responsibilities facing women and all mankind through out the globe. Comprising 28 Member Organ izations (including the UNWLA) which represent 23 million women, and more than a thou sand individual members from all over the United States, NCW acts as a coordinator and serves as a forum for the exploration of vital issues facing the country. Through its affiliation with the International Council of Women (ICW), NCW has close contacts with the 65 member-nations and is involved in the free exchange of information and communica tion as well as programs in these For NCW it all started in 1888 when 53 women’s organizations met in Washington, D.C. to com memorate the 40th anniversary of the first Declaration of Wom en’s Rights and to discuss wom en’s suffrage and equal rights. Among NCW’s founders, to name but a few, were the fore most women leaders of the day, such as Frances Willard, the first president, who headed the National Women’s Christian Temperance Union and worked for laws to protect women work ers and for educational oppor tunities for women; May Wright Sewall, NCW’s second president, a social reform leader; Eliza beth Cady Stanton, who drafted the 19th Amendment to the Con stitution concerning women’s rights; Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross; Julia Ward Howe, author of the “Bat tle Hymn of the Republic” and an ardent abolitionist and peace movement advocate; Lucy Stone Blackwell, founder of the Amer ican Suffrage Association, and Antoinette Brown Blackwell, the first woman to become an or dained Protestant minister. NCW’s first far-reaching areas of studies concerning wom en’s rights included social care, higher education, political status and equal pay for equal work. Later on, it was concerned with arbitration and peace, disarma ment, “Lynch laws,” immigra tion, and religious persecution. Still later, it tackled problems of unemployment, the economy and better government. Today NCW is stretching the scope of women’s world through pro grams of an ever-widening spec trum such as representation in the United Nations and the U.S. Mission to the UN, international human rights, and through meetings, conferences and work shops on vital current themes — consumerism, ecology, aging, ed ucation, adolescents, training and employment, health and mater nity protection, administration and public life training, and vol untarism. In connection with the last mentioned, NCW’s new Presi dent, Mrs. Lloyd J. Phillips, an expert on voluntarism, is the au thor of a book on volunteers, ‘The World of Do-Good.” Mrs. Phillips has a background as an editor, program director, author of many works on voluntary Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
