OUR LIFE MONTHLY, published by Ukrainian National Women's League of America OCTOBER No. 10 Editor Marta Baczynsky Vol. XXXII SOME THOUGHTS AT SUMMER’S END The delightful, care free days of summer are slowly ending. Vacation time is over, the children are back in school. There is a feeling of renewed strength in the air, an anticipation of great deeds, the realization of desired plans. Soon we shall be meeting again in our respective branches to resume our efforts on behalf of our organ ization and all the ideals for which it stands. We are con- tinu ng a great year — the 50th anniversary of U.N.W.L.A. Now, while we are reviewing a half a century of our accomplishments, let us remember that our organization was built on the premise that we, the people, are helping other people, so that together we can achieve a common goal. High ideals are mean ingless until people realize them through the sweat of their brows, through sacrifice, through the helping hand they extend to one another. Under no circumstances can we, as an organization loose sight of the fact that when our response satisfies a need, no matter how small, we are one step ahead toward realizing a grand ideal which we wish to achieve. Instead of idea oriented, let's be people oriented. Ukrainian American delegation at U.S. Embassy in Mexico City on June 27, 1975 during World Conference of Women.

International Women’s Year 1975 "Wherever domestic activities have been the exclusive domain of women, man must be introduced to these tasks, so that both sexes can discharge together responsibilities to so ciety as a whole....EVERY TIME WE LIBERATE A WOMAN WE LIBERATE A MAN." Ms. Margaret Mead KSENIA MARTA BACZYNSKY She was a much awaited, much wanted baby. Her mother carried her in happy contented anticipation of the big event. Her arrival, however, was two months a- head of schedule and with complications. Oksana Balynsky was born on Sunday, April 13, 1969, weighing 4lbs. 1/г oz. The first few weeks she spent in the artificial atmosphere of an incubator. The breath ing difficulty the infant experienced birth, freightening at the time, was soon forgotten by her young parents, as the little girl gained in strength and length. Three weeks after her unexpected arrival, Ksenia went home. She was a lovely baby. Her corn silk hair formed tiny curls around her perfectly shaped head. She posessed huge blue eyes and a rosebud mouth. She smiled a lot, gurgled, grew chubby, and dimply to the delight of her adoring parents. Yet in the midst of this seemingly normal state of affairs something was wrong. While other babies were sitting up, Ksenia would lie contentedly. She never attempted to turn by herself, and when placed in a sitt ing position, she would topple to the side, unless she was propped up. Her mother's anxieties were placated by the pediatrician — She's just slow, he would say. Christine Balynsky is a tiny lady, vivacious, good natured, but above all gifted with common sense and an open mind. She could see that her daughter Ksenia was not making any normal progress in the process of devel opment and her doctor's assurances were beginning to sound dubious. She, therefore, made an appointment to 24 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ, ЖОВТЕНЬ 1975 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н . Й . C Ш A.
