A lexan d ra R izn yk UNWLA Representative to NCW MOROZ (T h o u g h ts on an article by L udm illa M o y se jev a ) In an article published in Ukrainian in this issue of Our Life, Ludmila Moysejeva writes about a subject that every Ukrainian is acutely aware of — the torm ent of Valentyn Moroz. Helpless., frustrated, we watch a good man slowly die. The press keeps us informed — w7e count the days of his self imposed re sistance, we marvel at the strength of his body. Ludmila Moysejeva deals with the strength of his spirit. N ur tured by the noblest passions — love of freedom and country, it transcends the massive walls of Soviet prisons to proclaim to the world the injustice, the vicious torture, the systematic annihila tion of our people in our home land. Moysejeva begins her article with a quote from the dedication of a book of poetry by Ihor Ka- lynec,, written for Valentyn Mo roz: “I hope this book could be for you, but for a moment, the cloth of Veronica. I want this book, like the cloth of Veronica, to re mind us of the holiness of your face.” Where does such a man like Moroz find the strength to be come a legend., a symbol in his lifetime? In the uushakable faith in God and his wisdom, writes Ludmila Moysejeva, in the total love for his nation, in the belief that his people have the right for self identity and de termination. “We can only stand in awe and be filled with immense pride,” says Ludmila Moysejeva, “that in the person of Valentyn Moroz, Ukraine has a true defender of our national right.” With his suffering, Moroz has stirred the coals of our exile, persecution and growing compla cency here in the free world into a bright flame of anger and fight. We hurl ourselves against the porticos of freedom loving governments., demanding justice. But the Soviets will not let him go, says Ludmila Moysejeva, as they let Solzhenitsyn out. W hat may pass for a Russian, is for bidden for a Ukrainian. And that is the crucial point of the whole matter. “Moroz,” writes poet Kalynec, act, so that in my soul there will always be the image of your thorn adorned head . . .” “Moroz, because of your love for us, you have accepted terrible punish ment, to save us from the great est sin — indifference to fire.” BR. 32 A C T IV IT IE S The UNWLA, Branch 32, which serves the Eessev and Union Counities in New Jersey, invited Yaroslava Surmach Mills 'to exhibit 'her glass paintings and lectures on glass-paint ing and Ukrainian Easter egg paint ing. This was held on Sunday, Sep tember 29, 1974, in their meeting room, and she was greeted by an en thusiastic full house. The audience left with the pleasure of having met a warm and vital personality, with deep love for her art and Ukrainian heritage.

She taughlt Art at Manhattanville College for four years, and was Art Director of Hump'ty Dumpty’s Magazine for ten years.
