June is a lovely month for organdy weddings, a splatter of white sails on blue waters, for busy pruning in the garden, or brisk bicycle rides. June is also a delightful month for old fashioned picnics. Why? Well, because the weather is warm, not hot, the greenery is in full bloom, yet still soft with innocence and newness, and all those crawling things have yet to sharpen their teeth. So, pack a basket, ask your loved one (s) and go spend a day in communication with nature and with each other. From time immemorial, the staple fare at any picnic was "le pulet frit" — ordinary fried chicken. Today, it still is. Look around at any outdoor gathering and you'll see people massively consuming left wings, right wings, drum sticks or tender white breasts. Why, you ask, does a women, who outshines with culinary mastery at candle lit dinner parties, bring a cluck-cluck to a picnic feast. The answer is simple, at least to me. The lovely chicken, parcelled, breaded and deep fried is still the most economical, tasty and easiest to handle provision in the great outdoors. Chicken, somehow seems to go naturally with potato salad or macaroni salad, and the way you prepare each is a matter of taste. (Two favorite recipes given below). Embelish the meal with fresh vegetables and fruit, with pickles or relishes, with bread and butter and cheese. Finish with something to satisfy your sweet tooth — a hearty slice of apple pie or half a canta loupe (for those on a calorie count). To drink, bring something cold on a warm day (soda, beer, iced tea) and some thing warm on a cool day (hot tea, coffee). I always take along a bottle of my favorite wine. It makes a day mellow. A picnic should be a time of enjoy ment, relaxation and getting away from it all. The hassle between stove and table should be minimized and a serve- yourself atmosphere should prevail. So how about this Sunday. The weather man is promising sunshine, the greenery looks inviting. Will you come on a picnic with me?

In Defense of our Sisters In keeping with the resolutions of the XVII Convention of the Ukrainian Women's League of America, our organization has pledged to campaign during the International Women's Year for the defense of women political prisoners in the U. S. S. R. Thereby, U. N. W. L. A. has, in cooperation with the Committee for the Defense of Soviet Political Prisoners issued a pamphlet entitled "Women Political Prisoners in the USSR". The pamphlet contains 20 pages of information — reprints of petitions on behalf of the prisoners, the prisoners' petitions to the U N, an excellent introduction by Rose Styron entitled "The Hidden Women", short biographical sketches "Prisoner Profiles", of several women prisoners, and a listing of other known women prisoners — Ukrainian and other nationalities. A most interesting and helpful addition, not usually found in other similar pamphlets, is a compre hensive "action guide for defending women political prisoners".
