Continuation: WOMEN IN THE NEWS his policies and served in various public offices she was more active in public affairs than most preceeding “first ladies" had been. Eleanor Roosevelt was born on October 11, 1884 in New York. Her life history as wife, mother, public offi cial, defender of civil liberties and protector of minori ties and their civil rights are a matter of record in history books. Her weakness for the underdog is legendary. This year America celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of its illustrious daughter. An interesting bit of history is Mrs. Roosevelt’s meeting with a delegation from the Ukrainian National Women’s League of Amer ica in 1958, which followed her trip to the Soviet Union and the consequent articles which appeared in the Ame rican press. UNWLA took note of Mrs. Roosevelt’s com ments, and in a letter to her deemed to present its point of view. Gracious as always, Mrs. Roosevelt asked for a group meeting with representatives of UNWLA. On March 18, 1958 a delegation headed by UNWLA Vice President Stephania Pushkar, visited Eleanor Roo sevelt in her Manhattan apartment. The delegation sought to present a realistic picture of life for Ukrain ians in the Soviet Union, in contrast to what Soviet offi cials prepared for viewing during Mrs. Roosevelt’s trip. Mrs. Tatyana Horashenko, Dr. Natalia Pazunjak, Mrs. Olena Procuik, as well as invited authorities of specific subjects Dr. Roman Osinchuk and Professor Serhij Kre- sheninikow, made up the team. Their detailed research on the various aspects of life conditions in the USSR, particular to the Ukrainian people, made a marked im pression on Mrs. Roosevelt, who attentively listened to each report. She asked many questions and was very interested in and impressed with the information pres ented. Her promise was to incorporate these facts into any future project she might undertake. Eleanor Roosevelt has not been with us for a long time. There is a void on the international scene of an individual who will impartially listen to those who do not have the atom bomb, or can threaten total anahilation, but plead for justice, freedom, liberty and the persuit of common, everyday peaceful life in which to rear a fam ily honoring one’s God and nation. TEN COMMANDMENTS OF RAPE PREVENTION The following are valid, real guidelines from W.A.R. — Women Against Rape, an organization formed to com bat sexual assault. Take heed of them, they may save your life. 1. Be aware that rape can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere! Always be alert to the possibility. Trust your gut feeling. If someone looks suspicious, get to a safe place and call police. Better to be embarassed than to be hurt! 2. Make your home as burglar-proof as possible. Small dogs make excellent, inexpensive natural burglar alarm systems. Always keep curtains drawn. 3. Never hitchhike or pick up a hitchhiker. Always carry enough money for an emergency phone call. 4. Never reveal that you are home alone. Always ask service or delivery personnel for identification before opening the door. Call their office if you are suspicious. Never allow a stranger to use your phone. Offer to make the call for them. 5. If you are assaulted, yell “Fire” as loudly as pos sible. Better to be a lunatic than a rape victim! 6. Keep car doors locked at all times. If you have car trouble, do not open your door or roll down win dows for strangers. Ask them to call the police or a gar age. Never stop to help a distressed motorist. Stop at the nearest safe phone and call help for them. 7. Never label your keys with your name or address. Never list your first name on mailboxes or in telephone directories. 8. Newly divorced women should avoid public notice of their being alone. Never allow a newspaper to publish such details of your private life. 9. Become familiar with your own personal limita tions and practice your reaction in the event of physical assault. Will you fight? run? attempt verbal persuasion? 10. REMEMBER: If you are assaulted, expecially if you see a weapon, your first priority is not to get hurt. Submission may be a matter of good judgement. ВІТАЙТЕ ТА СКЛАДАЙТЕ ПОБАЖАННЯ СВОЇМ РІДНИМ, ДРУЗЯМ ТА ЗНАЙОМИМ НА СТОРІНКАХ ’’НАШОГО ЖИТТЯ”
