OUR LIFE MONTHLY, 'published by Ukrainian JScitioual Women’s League of America Vol. XXXIII JANUARY No. 1 HELEN FOLYS LOTOTSKY On December 2, 1975, Helen Folys Lototsky, one of the most notable women in the history of the Ukrainian- American community passed away in the home of her son in West Sand Lake, New York. Her death is a great loss not only to the Ukrainian National Women's League of America for which she worked so selflessly, but to all Ukrainians. Helen Lototsky was born in 1894 in Western Ukraine. She was the daughter of Rev. Anton Folys, an ardent supporter and participant in Ukrainian causes. In 1912 she married Rev. Basil Dobush, and in the same year immigrated to the U.S. In 1918 when her husband died during a flu epidemic, she was left with three small A new day is b o rn ..... In a day or so, over the land where many of us were born, a bright star will shine, announcing the birth of The Son of God. As we begin our celebrations here, our thoughts will travel there, to that land; even the thoughts of those who have never seen that land, but who love it and dream about seeing it one day. To all those so far away, and to all those who will read these words we send our greeting upon this glorious occasion of Christ's Birth. We pray that the Holy Child will bless us all, grant success to our endeavors and allow us to witness the rise of the star of freedom.
