HAPPY BIRTHDAY To the Lady in the Harbor! The Statue of Liberty, America’s symbol of freedom, will celebrate her 100th birthday this July 4th weekend. She has been renovated, cleaned and spruced up to accept homage from millions of people for whom she represents liberty, sanctuary and the opportunity for a better life. One hundred years is a very long time. The Lady in the harbor has witnessed a century of spectacular changes and achievements, of progress and stalemate, of war and peace, of struggle and triumph. She stood on guard watching as the nation leaped into a turbulent twentieth century. The statue was a gift from the people of France, brought in many sections to this country, to be assem bled on a pedestal funded by the tons of pennies donated by America’s school children, as well as by others who realized the symbolic value of the gracious image. One hundred years is a long time. As a rule neither people nor nations have the strength of concrete and metal to weather the changes and upsets that history commands. Surely, because She was there to remind all that the force of freedom, the power of liberty and the sanctity of charity are the most noble virtues of social existence, this nation has achieved its stature and greatness. At times She cried. The price of freedom, counted in the lives of millions during the devastating wars, or in the matter of the life of one Ukrainian sailor — was incalculable. One hundred years is a long time. Let us hope that the experience of life gained in this century will be util ized for future generations in a positive way. Let us hope that the values represented by the Statue of Lib erty will last unto eternity. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREAT LADY, and MANY MORE TO COME!

The spectrum of life’s activities are best exemplified within various organizations that constitute the frame work of society. In an article titled “Speaking Out: Fear of Volunteer ing” published in the April 1986 issue of CLUBWOMAN, the magazine of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, author Rhoda M. Dorsey claims that volunteer work “can provide visibility, experience, and confidence. But more importantly, it can offer a very special brand of fulfillment not found at work or at home." It is true that volunteering means giving time to a cer tain project. In our time-oriented society, that particular commodity is scarce, particularly when many women hold full-time jobs and care for families. Yet there is something to the saying “give busy hands another job and it will be done.” In the article, Ms. Dorsey says that voluntarism got a bad name during the early days of the women’s libera tion movement, when many feminists began equating it with “slave labor”. Thus, many worthy organizations, such as the Red Cross, suffered for want of volunteers. However, the writer continues, many women got very Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н . Й . C Ш A.
