Were it not for the author’s preface, the foreign reader might never even guess that he is read ing a work of Ukrainian litera ture. Honchar’s preface gives inter esting facts about his motiva tions as a writer and has many references to Ukrainian liter ature and culture. It is, however, not a preface w rit ten especially for the foreign The ICW has national councils in 70 'countries and works for social development throughout the world.

THE WELSH KOZAK On March 24 of this year the Ukrainian community of greater New York received a special treat. The choir “Homin” hailing from England presented an evening of music, song and dance. The concert was a great suc cess. The performers were tal ented, well trained, the program varied., rich and interesting.
