members of UNWLA. This was the initial and most important stage in UNWLA’s development, for in these few years the organization acquired the canon of prin ciples which governs its activities until this day. Among these principles, independence, non-partisanship and religious tolerance are the foremost. As the number of branches grew in the larger Ukrain ian communities, they joined together for greater organ izational efficiency ad established regional councils, thus forming the three-step structure of UNWLA. At that time the program of the organization took shape with empha sis on culture, education, folk art and charity. Commun ication, if only by letter, with the Union of Ukrainian Women in Lwiw and other Ukrainian women’s organiza tions worldwide provided much-needed contacts, as did the newspapers from Galicia, above all Zinocha Dolya, and the visit Senator Olena Kysilewsky from Poland paid the UNWLA leadership in 1929. Developments in the homeland were followed eagerly and inspired the members to increase efforts towards the realization of their objectives. The Second World War cut all ties with Galicia. The Union of Ukrainian Women ceased to exist, and women’s groups that had formed in Prague were banned by the German authorities. UNWLA was forced to find new resources and intensify its activities, which precipitated the need for a “ house”- publication. At first, a one-page newsletter called “Visti SUA” appeared twice a month in the newspaper America, from Novmeber 11,1939 to the end of December 1941 when it was discontinued due to the lack of funds. On January 1, 1944, Our Life appeared for the first time, initially as a newspaper and beginning with the January issue of 1951, as a monthly magazine. Although the war was fought overseas, it cast its shadow on the American continent. The members of UNWLA actively cooperated with the American Red Cross and were encouraged by the leadership of the organization to purchase war bonds. Due to obvious political and military considerations during the war, the dream of an independent Ukraine was soon disspelled, and Ukrainians in America began as early as 1944 to make arrangements for the arrival of war refugees. After the end of the war, aid in the form of food and clothing was supplied to refugee camps on Europe before their residents could seek admittance to the U.S. on the basis of new immigration laws. The UNWLA leadership ex pected all members to support the efforts on behalf of the refugees instituted by the Ukrainian community, which included frequent interventions with the Ameri can government, ambassdors of different nations, and international institutions. Most rewarding was UNWLA’s cooperation with the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee, a voluntary agency involved in the resettling of war refugees. It is evident that under the circumstan ces, the business of the organization took a back seat to the turbulent events of the decade so that only six new branches were formed during that time. To be continued During the hot days of summer one tends to eat less, but the sweet tooth still has a tendency to linger around. Of course fresh fruit, being abundant, juicy, wonderful and delectable, should satisfy that yearning. But, lets be honest, it doesn’t. So, here is a pan cooky, easy to make — with the help of the food processor, tasty and hope fully a panacea for that craving. LEMON CURD COOKIES INGREDIENTS zest of 1 lemon zest of 1 medium oragne 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 oz. (1/3 cup) blanched whole almonds 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar 3/4 cups granulated sugar 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon oragne juice pinch of salt METHOD 1. Preheat oven to 350°. 2. Process almonds, 1/2 the zests, flour, confectioners’ sugar and butter in the food processor until the mixture is like course crumbs — about 10 seconds. 3. Press into an ungreased 8-inch square baking pan and bake in the preheated oven until firm and lightly colored — about 20 minutes. 4. Precess the granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and remaining zest until the zest is as fine as the sugar — about 1 minute. Add the eggs and juices and process until combined — about 5 seconds. 5. Pour over the crust and bake until set - about 20 minutes. Cool. Dust with confectioners’ sugar. The pan cookies can be garnishes with candied lemon or orange peel .Cut into 2 1/2 by 2 inch bars. Serve with flavorful fruit tea. ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИПЕНЬ-СЕРПЕНЬ 1987 23
