ration of families which followed in its wake. The reports submitted to the International Council of Women by the Ukrainian National Council of Women reflected and documented the deplorable conditions existing in Ukraine at that time. Our affiliation with the International Council of Women provided a forum for Ukrainian women to discuss their problems and to enlist empathy and support for their cause Regrettably, Ukraine’s thrust for inde pendence was suppressed and to this day remains under communist rule. Following the aftermath of World War I, and due to political encumbrances, Ukrainian women were deprived of membership in the International Council of Women following the quinquennial convention, which was held in Washington, D.C. during 1925. We are well aware that, according to the rules set forth in the charter of the International Coun cil of Women, only National Councils in countries having a recognized government are eligible for ‘ membership. Unfortunately, such a ruling pre cludes the possibility of membership in the Inter national Council of Women for Ukrainian women in the free world. Partially in response to this event, Ukrainian women in exile throughout the free world came to realize the need for establishing emigre organi zations to sustain the crucial work initiated by the Ukrainian National Council of Women. In 1925 the Ukrainian National Women's League of America was founded in New York City. Today, the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America is affiliated with the National Council of Women in the United States. Our Cana dian and Australian counterparts are members of the Canadian National Council and Australian National Council. We would like to state for the record, our whole-hearted endorsement of the work being conducted by the International Council of Women and the principles upon which it is based. Our hope is that the Ukrainian women can contribute to these efforts by advancing the ideals of human equality, dignity, and freedom. We enclose a short history of our organi zation, as well as other material pertaining to our activities. Sincerely, Ivanna Rozankovsky President After reading my statement and submitting it for the record, I concluded my remarks with a few words aboul the present activities of the UNWLA. I underscored the fact that UNWLA will continue projects in connection with the International Year of the Child and especially our scholarship programs in Brazil and Argentina. The living conditions of our people in those countries are deplorable, the earnings meager and living costs high. Without our assistance, it would be impossible for many children to receive education beyond the elementary level. I also reported that UNWLA conducted a contest to which over 200 children sent their poetry, prose and drawings. Finally I mentioned that UNWLA is probably the only women’s organization in the world that established and is now financing and running a museum. I invited those present to visit the Ukrainian Museum during their stay in New York. Iwanna Rozankowska THE PERSONALITY NECESSARY FOR OPTIMUM SUCCESS IN PUBLIC RELATIONS Presented during the Public Relations Workshop at the XVIIIth UNWLA Convention When we speak ot personality traits necessary for optimum success, we must first define "personality” and "success" as we understand them. Personality is syno nymous with the word ’’individual" and is defined as "the habitual patterns and qualities of behavior as expressed by physical and mental activities as well as attitudes". The sum of these qualities constitutes personality — that which is likely to impress others. The term "success” without any delineation is the favorable or desired outcome for ourselves and in our interaction with people, namely the public. One has to learn to like olives. This is known as a learned phenomenon. Living in such a way as to be successful is equally a learned phenomenon, based on practical tools for accomplishment. We do not get it at birth. It is both a science and an art — a science in that it embodies knowledge, encompassing certain basic principles which must be taught to us, learned by us, and most important of all applied. Without repeated application, it is useless. It is an art because it involves skill that is practised as well as theory which is learned: doing as well as knowing; If we are unsuccessful, chances are that we were never taught these basic prin ciples, or having learned them, decided that it was too much trouble to put them into active practise. Success can be ours and the art acquired only if we are willing to learn what to do, roll up our sleeves and get at it. There are three major obstacles to success: injurious feelings (anger, fear, resentment), over-reaction and confusion as to our place in the scheme of things. To counteract these, it is imperative that we: 1. ascertain who and what we are 2. are willing to act rather than just react to stimuli 3. remain open-minded. The key to the whole business is self-control inside and outside ourselves. "If only...”, "Why me...”, and "What if...” — are deadly. The answer to these three "no-nos” in our thinking and actions is the age-old proverb: "If wishes were horses, beggers would ride”. One of the hallmarks of maturity and success is the ability to take reality as it is and not as we imagine it. Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
