«ЖІНОЧИЙ СВІТ» 31 М 4 THE UKRAINIAN PAVILION 4 VO months ago the Columbia Broadcasting System presented to our listening ears the closing scenes from Chicago of that gigantic, stupendous, and ever-colorful drama ,“A Century of Progress.” The management had at first planned a Grand Finale, one that would be fitting for such an unprecedented pre- sentation, but due to the overwhelming success that the spectacle attained, they wisely desided to defer the Finale until the Fall of 1934. We heard therefore only such a ceremony as would precede an intermis- sion. When the Fair reopens on June 1st 1934 we will marvel once again at the wonderful achievements of science in the fields of electricity, chemistry, astrono- my, architecture, transportation and medicine. We will soar again into space aboard the Goodyear Blimp, and view the grounds from the Towers and tha Cars of the incomparable Sky Ride. We will go back to our childhood days and enjoy again the at- tractions at the Enchanted Island with its play- grounds, giant goblins and figures, the Midget Village and various rides at the Midway, the Cowboy of the “49ers” and the Island at the Indian Village, and Old Fort Dearborn. Then as we get hungry again we will sample dishes prepared at any of tha wonderful aurants or cafes on the Exposition grounds, be they Mexican, Swedish, Italian or Chinese as your appetite dictates. After we have appeased our hunger and smoked our cigarette, pipe or cheroot, we will once again leisurely delight in the artistry brought before us in this ever-changing pageant. The priceless jade in the beautiful Temple of Jehol is too wonderful for words. ‘The Japanese silks are the envy of every woman that views them. The Mayan Temple will once again take us back to the days of the Aztecs, a neighboring nation before the days of the Spanish conquests. They both observed the barbaric custom of human sacri- fices. We must not forget to visit the Field Museum and the Art Institute. Let us hope that we will be privileged to see again that masterpiece, Whistler’s “Mother,” that was loaned to us by France. Аз evening approaches we will mount опе of the specially constructed Greyhound Observation Buses, or perhaps we will go Oriental and have one of the college athletes pull us in rickshaw along the espla- nade under skies that are resplendent with all the colors of the rainbow. even those of Niagara Fa y we are drawn past the most beautiful commercial display of the Expo- sition, The Chrysler Motor Building, Sinclair’s Pre- historic Animals, Те General Motors Building, where we have seen a Chevrolet put together in three- quarters of an hour, the Futuristic Homes and the House of Glass, where we have spent many an hour with many other couples planning and sighing, and than sighing and planning some more. Now we are approaching the extreme southern gate of the grounds and on the left we enter Ukraine, or what has been more papularly called, The Ukrainian Pavilion. We are just in time for dinner and the evening’s entertain- ment of songs and dances, But stay! — Do my eyes deceive me? Do I see Ukraing within or without the gates of the Exposition Grounds? What? Have they movad up the gates to Thirty-fifth Street and left Ukraine on the outside looking in? That is the position that we are now in. The fate of the Ukrainian Pavilion is to be decided in the very near future. At present we cannot worry about how well-managed a Pavilion we will have. We must see to it that there will be a Pavilion. The Management of the Century of Progress Exposition in its desire to cut down expenses, wants to bring up the gates at the extrame South end, from 39th Street to 35th Street. This would leave Ukraine on the outside of the grounds together with several other buildings, such as Old Mexico, the 49ers, etc. These other conces- are now carrying on their fight in protest against such a move. We, as loyal Ukrainians, should join in that fight. The course to follow, is, for every опе who wants that Pavilion to open next year, to ite a letter of Protest to the Management of A sionair Century of Progress, Chicago, Ill. Writa a letter so worded that they will bq convinced that it will be to their disadvantage to leave out the Ukrainian Pavilion next summer, IMU.
