suasion and when Gov. Harry Moore of New Jersey, call ing her by her nickname said; "Lottie, run for Congress and you can do more for your people than you can through your organization" she replied, "I can't abandon my people," and never did. Helen Lototsky worked zealously to house the home less immigrants coming to the U.S. and assisted them in finding jobs and building a new life for themselves in this country. She was awarded a medal as a "Woman of Achievement — 1959 for Outstanding Service to One Race-Humanity," by the International Women's Exposition in New York City. FLASH ....... The BULLETIN published by the National Council of Women of the United States, November-December issue carried a lengthy article entitled "IWY (International Women's Year) marks 50th Anniversary of Ukrainian Women's League of America". The article offered a short history of our organization, gave its goals, aims and philosophy. Helen Folys Lototsky was an organizer, a leader and a noble and elegant person. Her life was a life of service to her community and especially to the Ukr.-American woman. She will be greatly missed by all of us. PUBLIC — HI-LIGHTS OF 1975 This year was a busy one for the Public Relations branch of our organization. Among other things we published a new membership pamphlet, made newfriends at the General Federation of Women's Clubs Convention in Washington, D.C., and at the National Council of Women meetings in New York. But really, the most outstanding event of the year was the International Women's Year Tribune in Mexico City. There we had ample opportunity to speak out on the floor of the actual Tribune to the 7,000 participants, as well as to meet many international delegates during the proceed ings or at various after conference functions. We still keep in touch with many of our new found friends, and recently had the opportunity to visit with Mrs. Adele Fisher, Director of the Pan American Group of Women during the Mexico Conference. It was a pleasure to have met with our Regional Councilsof NewJersey,New York and Philadelphiaas well as the New England area where we had the opportunity to report about our work. In addition, we were delighted to be present at the organization of a new branch in Baltimore, Maryland. One of our most successful projects this year was the letter writing campaign to our government officials concerning political prisoners. This campaign was carried out by most of our Branches. The National Board of our organization also wrote to those senators and congressmen who were favorably disposed to our cause of freedom and we thereby established and reinforced contacts. We also contacted all the speakers and the sponsors of a recent Senate Hearing on Dissident Writers and presented the Ukrainian aspect of the situation. In addition, upon learning from the World Congress of Free Ukrainians that a proposal for an international amnesty of political prisoners was proposed by the United States in the United Nations, within 24 hours most of the missions to the U.N. received a letter from our organization, re questing their support. In addition, a brief was presented to our Ambassador to the U.N., Daniel PI P. Moynihan. During the Mexico Conference we distributed brochures about Women Political Prisoner. These brochures were also sent to U.S. Senators and Congress men and to various Embassies in Washington. Our President Mrs. Iwanna Rozankowsky was invited to a cocktail party where she had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Moynihan, the wife of U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Our President found Mrs. Moynihan well informed about Ukrainians. It was very rewarding to see the enthusiastic response of the Junior Branches during a recent work shop, sponsored by Mrs. Olga Stawnycha, our 4th Vice President, whose function is the leadership of ouryounger member branches. We look forward to, and wish them success in their efforts. Mrs. Orysia Zinych, our National Board Member at Large and Mrs. Lidia Ficalowycz, President of the New England Regional Council represented the UNWLA at the New England Women's Conference for International Women's Year. The Public Relations Committee was honored to have had Mrs. Lubow Wolynetz, our Cultural Chairperson, Mrs. Halyna Kutko, President of the American Association of University Women (n.J.) and Mrs. Lydia Kramarchuk, President of Branch 18, speak at a Public Relations Seminar held in May 1975. One of the most outstanding jobs in Public Relations on the Regional level was accomplished by Mrs. Deychakiwsky of Cleveland. She organized a panel dis cussion on the topic of Eastern European Women, dealing with the problems they face. Among the speakers were Mrs. Mary Beck and Prof. Marta Bohachewsky. This was a much publicized and very successful symposium, attended by many women from Ohio and surrounding areas. Branch 18 in Passaic also had a news worthy event in their Easter celebration. It was open to the public and received much attention from the local press. It was well attended. It was the first organization in the community to sponsor a bicentennial celebration in the form of this ex hibit and reception for government officials and the general public. 1975 was a busy and rewarding year. We are looking forward to an even busier 1976. C am ille S m o ro d sk y 24 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ, СІЧЕНЬ 1976 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
