BRANCH 32 s YEAR IN REVIEW As Branch 32 begins another year this fall, spirits are high in anticipation of up and coming events. Our home base is the Ukrainian Center in Irvington, but our members come from all the surrounding counties and as far away as Colonia, New Jersey. Our diversity is also evident in the age range of our members — from young married to grandmothers. With only 20 members we are proud to say we get 100% participation and interest in our branch functions. We feel we can attribute this to the "family-like" closeness of the group. We are an English speaking (Bilingual) branch so we feel we can attract even the 2nd or 3rd generation Ukrainians who aren’t totally fluent in the Ukrainian language but still wish to keep the traditions and learn about the culture; In retrospect of the past few months, we found ourselves making handicrafts and collecting goods for a bazaar, packing bundles of clothes for Brazil and Eastern Europe, sending Christmas packages to an orphanage and getting together a Thanksgiving basket for a local needy family; We had an Interna tional costume program and a doll demonstration. We were even able to treat ourselves to dinner and a play; a well-deserved break in our usual schedule. Already the first meeting of this season has given us a new member and a good start to our membership drive. At present we’re working toward our Fall Fashion Fling; fashion show, refresh ments raffle and an evening of enter tainment. Brach representatives have already participated in the Ukrainian Museum opening in New York City, but to further your support of the project, partial proceeds from the fashion show will be donated to the Museum. That takes us into holiday season and our annual Christmas party, followed in Jan uary by the election of new officers. The year goes by quickly; there’s so much we’ve done but even more yet to be done. But the most important factor to our Branch is that we’re keeping the Ukrainian spirit and culture alive by the togetherness we all share while working on each project... and this is the most valuable aspect of the organization. R. Wislocky swelled America at the turn of the century. Constantly finding new ways to improve the quality of life for all humankind, Jane Addams fought for legal protection of immigrants, for regulation of child labor, and for women’s suffrage. As a number of women were beginning to pursue professions, thousands entered the business world to earn their living under practically the same conditions as men. By 1900 twenty per cent were employed. Frances Perkins, a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, headed various New York state commissions regulating conditions in factories for two decades. From 1929-33 she was the Industrial Commissioner of the State of New York. Frances Perkins was appointed Secretary of Labor in 1933. As the first woman to serve in the U. S. Cabinet she helped to shape labor laws until 1945; After women gained suffrage, Alice Paul and the National Women’s Party drafted the Equal Rights Amendment which stated that ’’no right be abridged by eighter the federal government or the states on account of sex”. Although Alice Paul kept ERA alive for twenty years, it was submerged during World War II. In the 1960’s ERA was reactivated by the National Organization for Women. At 91, as Alive Paul lives another day, the Amendment lacks the approval of four states for ratification. Abigail Adams and Mercy Warren would be pleased to read the article: "Women and Crime” which appeared in O u r Life for it discussed how America is combatting sexual assault crimes in the 1970’s. In almost two hundred years the women’s rights envisioned by these women of the American revolutionary era have become close to reality.
