of America removed the collection from its premises. It is now in storage in the U.N.W.L.A. building in Philadelphia, where the never ending work of class ification and cataloguing is continuing. The matter of dismissal of the folk art collection from the Institute showed a pathetic public reaction. Our com m unities and organizations within, raised meager, almost unheard voices in protest. This attitude was pain fully felt by U.N.W.L.A. A great loss at the time is the realization of the m agnificent role this collection could have played, properly displayed, in the American Bicentennial, the 100th Anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in America and our organizations Golden Jubilee. In the Ukraine, our cultural heritage is being system atically and w ilfully destroyed. Experts and students of our past are being imprisoned, exponents are shipped to Moscow, catalogued as of Russian origin. Here, our role to preserve our cultural heritage was sharply terminated. Perhaps the individuals at the Ukrainian Institute, dismissing the exhibit, were not aware of this situation. But, each cloud has a silver lining. The purchase of U.N.W.L.A.'s new headquarters opened great new possibilities for the collection. In the near future it will be opened for public viewing — on one floor of the building, in well lighted, dry rooms. With this end in mind, a special comm ittee headed by Vice President of U.N.W.L.A. Mrs. Lesia Riznyk, has been w orking for many months. All these new plans need financing. The State Aid will surely come once the collection is open to the public, Appeals for support have gone out to members QUEEN ELIZABETH II — MONOMACH. The British Queen Elizabeth II is a 30th generation descendent of W olodym yr Monomach, the great ruler of the Kiev monarchy in the 11th century. This fact was supported by British historians and geneologists in the multi volume com posite of the history of English royalty, researched by D ebrett’s.The ancestral ties between the English ruling house and the Monarch of Russ-Ukraine had their beginnings in 1066 and resulted from the struggle for the throne of England. When death of King Edward, The Confessor, left England w ithout an heir to the throne, the country's nobility and clergy asked one of their own, Duke Harold to become King. He was crowned ruling monarch and became Harold II. Unfortunately many pretenders to the powerful throne decided to claim their due and so began St. George Cathedral in Lwiw. of our organization, to com m unities and private in dividuals. An exemplery response has come from young pianist Juliana Osinchuk, who has promised to give a series of concerts, receipts to be donated for the support of the folk art collection. A collection now, but one day a museum; a unique Ukrainian institute dedicated to the preservation of our cultural heritage — a dream of an organization whose past 50 year history will testify to its ability to make dreams a reality. (translated from Ukrainian) DESCENDENT OF WOLODYMYR the wars of 1066, which eventually changed the whole course of English history. The most powerful and cunning aspirant to the royal throne of England was W illiam Bastard of Nor mandy, a vassal to the powerful French King Henry I. (Henry at this time was married to Anna Jaroslavna, daughter of Kiev ruler Jaroslav Mudryj). In a bloody battle at Hastings, in 1066, W illiam of Normandy killed King Harold II, occupied the English throne and with him brought the Norman rule to England. This set of events brought enormous changes in the country, polit ical, social, changes in literature, language — in the basic makeup of the anglo-saxon. It is curious to note, that begins his chronological history of the English royal house with W illiam The Conqueror, although there were 22 kings before him from 828-1066.
