HEADQUARTERS NEW S It has previously been urged th a t English-speaking Branches cooperate actively w ith their Re gional Councils and local Ukrainian speaking Branches. Participating in Regional m eet ings and program s and attending program s sponsored by the U krainian speaking Branches will enable the English speaking Branches to achieve two pri m ary objectives. F irst, they will be drawn closer w ithin the cir cle of Sister Soyuzanky and thereby become a truly insepar able p art of the UNWLA. Sec ond their knowledge of U krain ian traditions, customs, history and language will steadily in crease. There is no longer a lan guage barrier as there may have been in years yast. The activi ties reports for 1972 from D et roit Branches 37, 58 and 80 are excellent examples of UNWLA Branches — U krainian and E ng lish speaking — working togeth er for the good of their Branch, th eir organization and their community. Alexandra Riznyk DETROIT ENGLISH SPEAKING BRANCHES Branches 37, 58 and 80 in De tro it had an action filled 1972. All three Branches took active p art in the D etroit Regional Council m eetings and program s. A t the annual Regional Sviache- ne, Branch 37 dona,ted money for the food and had English cir culars printed. Branch 80 also donated money. Branch 58 mem bers assisted w ith decorations and table settings, acted as host esses and their president, Mrs. Justine Nelligan, spoke on E a st er Traditions in Ukraine. The three Branches also took active p art in the D etroit E thnic F esti val. Branch 37 and 80 members prepared food and worked in the two Regional Council booths. Branch 58 members had a baked goods booth “H arna Pekarnya,” and sponsored a grand drawing for an all-expense trip to Ukraine. The Regional Picnic had active participation from the three branches. During U krainian W oman’s Week, Br. 58, in addition to preparing an exhibit, had their Vice Presi dent Olga Hubchick give a talk on “The Role of the Ukrainian Woman in Her Community.” Chapter 37 held several work shops for the community and members throughout the year on pysanky, papier-tole, jewelled eggs and cross stitch. In June, Branch 37 held a President’s Day Tea for P ast Presidents, members and prospective mem bers. They ended a very active year by giving two Christm as Carolling P arties for Senior Citi zens and for disturbed teenagers in Girls’ Town w ith the U krain ian Bandura Q uartette and w ith gifts for all. Branch 58 observed its 25th A nniversary on F ebru ary 11, 1973. U N U SU A L EXHIBIT The Brecksville, Ohio, Public L ibrary recently had an unusual ly interesting display. Mrs. N ich olas Daychakiwsky, an assistant librarian, arranged an exhibit of seventeen Ukrainian icons — some nearly 250 years old, oth ers, reproductions of well known 12th century Kievan School icons. The local newspaper re- What to read Ф Kolasky, John. Two Years in Soviet Ukraine; a Canadian’s personal account of Russian op pression and the growing oppo sition. Toronto, Peter M artin Associates, 1970. 264 p. A Communist who died stands at the gates of hell. He is given a choice between a Communist and a Capitalist hell — he wants to chose the latter. “I had enough of Communist hell on earth,” he says. The devil gives him an other chance, however, and w arns him. In the efficient Capi talist hell the fires burn twenty- four hours a day. In the Com m unist section, on the other hand, the fires burn only one third of th e tim e: if there is enough wood, there is no sul ph u r; if there is sulphur, there is no coal oil, or m atches, or else all the devils have gone to a p a r ty meeting. John Kolasky’s account of his two years in Soviet Ukraine is interspersed w ith anecdotes such as this one, w ith fascinating so cial and political gossip, w ith vivid details of daily life — not from the vantage point of a tour ist, but as it is seen and lived by an insider. This highly read able book tells a grim and rich ly documented tale of a Cana dian Communist’s awakening to the bitter reality of Soviet life: the schizophrenic split between professed theory and real life practice, the consistent policy of enforced Russification, hostility and contem pt of the Russians (C o n tin u ed on b ack cover page) porting on the exhibit, gave a capsule history of icon paint ing from 10th century Byzan tine Constantinople to Kievan Rus and to other Slavic peoples w ith th eir conversion to C hristi anity. The exhibit included many books which added historic in terest to the icons on display.
