THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM CELEBRATES FIFTH ANNIVERSARY The Ukrainian Museum celebrated its fifth anniver sary in October 1981. Its success is welcomed by Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians alike. It has not only won the hearts of the Ukrainian community, but the admira tion and respect of the New York cultural and art world. Indeed, it is known in museum circles across the U. S. and abroad. Its exhibitions are regularly publicized and reviewed in publications such as The New York Times, Daily News and The Village Voice. Countless other U. S. newspapers in the Northeast have also carried stories about the Museum’s exhibits. Exhibits have ranged from pysanky to rushnyky, all professionally and beautifully displayed, with informa tive catalogs to accompany each exhibit. Another highly successful aspect of the Museum’s activities is workshops on woodcarving, embroidery, Easter egg painting and other Ukrainian crafts, with participants of all ages attending. Future plans for the Museum include a historical branch for which the foundation has already been laid with the beginnings of an archival photographic collec tion on Ukrainian immigration to the U. S. A fine arts collection is also planned. The Museum is expanding rapidly in terms of programs and acquisitions, and its lack of space to encompass all its activities and holdings is becoming a cause for concern. Hence the Museum’s plan for finding a new, larger home. The Ukrainian Museum has been able to acquire grants from numerous sources. Grants have been received from the Institute of Museum Services, The National Endowment on the Arts, The New York State Council on the Arts, The Robert Sterling Clark Foun dation, Con Edison and other institutions. Many of the grants are geared toward specific exhibitions or programs, while others can be used for general operating expenses. UNWLA members, Chapters and Regional Councils, News From Branch 32 Members of Branch 32 of UNWLA wish to congratulate their member, Mary Rohowsky for being awarded prizes this Fall in two juried shows. The first award was honorable Mention, Cash Award, for an oil still life, in the South Orange Outdoor Show, where 320 artists competed; the second award was First Prize, Cash Award, in the Non-Pro for a landscape in oil, in an Art Show held by the Bloomfield Art League. Mrs. Rohowsky is a member of both Art Centers, including the Summit Art Center. She studied Landscape with Mary Dreher and Ed Havas, Life in Charcoal with Pauline Lorenz and the late John L. Grabach, Life in Oils with Mr. Grabach, Portraits with Jack Demron, and Watercolor with Otto Bermel. Her article “So you Want to Paint” was printed in the July- August 1981 issue of “Our Life”. Sincerely, (Mrs.) Dorothy Losowyj Secreatary, Br. 32 as well as the community at large have generously sup ported the Museum when it was still an idea in the minds of UNWLA executives, and continue to do so to this day. In fact, UNWLA is very proud that it laid the foundation for the establishment of the Ukrainian Museum. A great measure of its success lies in the Museum’s staff of committed and talented professionals, led by Museum Director, Maria Shust. Ms. Shust, an excellent artist in her own right, has been with the Museum for more than five years and has been directly responsible for bringing it up to the extraordinaryly high artistic level for which it is known today. According to Dr. Bohdan Cymbalisty, President of the Museum’s Board, the Museum is seeking an ever- greater involvement in it on the part of the Ukrainian community. Thus, he says, it encourages Ukrainians to become members of the Museum. For further information about membership, or Museum hours, write to the Ukrainian Museum, 203 Second Avenue, New York, N. Y. 10003, or call (212) 228- 0110 . HEALTH & WELL-BEING I Ne are happy to announce that beginning with this issue, Dr. Maria Motyl will contribute articles on health, science and the environment to Our Life. Readers who are interested in the applications of the most current scientific research to their personal health, however, should not look to this as a medical advice column, but should consult with their personal physicians. Dr. Motyl is a microbiologist at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York, where she is involved in teaching as well as clinical and pure research. For an interview with Dr. Motyl, see the November 1981 issue of Our Life. HEART DRUG PROLONGS LIFE A drug called propranolol has been found to clearly prolong the lives of heart attack patients, and increase their chances of long-term survival. Doctors at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute conducted a study of the drug with a group of patients who had previously suffered at least one attack. Dramatic results showed that the propranolol group had 26% fewer deaths than a control group which was given a placebo. Propranolol which is marketed under different trade names, is frequently prescribed to lower blood pressure or relieve angina pectoris. In recent years doctors had studied the effects of cholesterol-lo- wering drugs and aspirin in similar patients, but found that these gave no beneficial effects. They are, therefore, very excited at the prospect for the future for propra nolol. WATCH THAT SODIUM! Approximately 60 million Ame ricans suffer from high blood-pres- sure (Hypertension) to one degree or another. Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attacks and kidney disease. Many factors contribute to the occurrence of hypertension, including genetic susceptibility, obesity, stress and smoking. In creasingly, doctors believe that an
