Taras Melnyehnk 9 Poet,<br />
Sentenced to 3 Years<br />
LONDON, Eng. — Tares<br />
Melnychuk, 40-year-old U<br />
krainian poet, was sentenced<br />
in the spring of 1972 to three<br />
years at hard labor for "distributing<br />
anti-Soviet literature,"<br />
according to the Ukra<br />
inian Information Servict<br />
here. <strong>The</strong> three-day trial by<br />
the Ivano-Frankivske oblast<br />
court was held behind closed<br />
doors.<br />
Melnychuk was born in<br />
1933 in the village of Yabloniv<br />
in the Kosiv region. His<br />
parents were of peasant stock<br />
and worked in the local collective<br />
farm. After he completed<br />
secondary school, Taras<br />
was forced to go work in<br />
order to provide for his age<<br />
and ailing mother — and later<br />
for his daughter — because<br />
the mother's monthly pension<br />
of 9 rubles was insufficient to<br />
make ends meet.<br />
In order to continue his<br />
education, Taras registered<br />
for a correspondence course<br />
with Gorky Literary Institute<br />
in Moscow. He was forced to<br />
discontinue his studies while<br />
a third-year student, because<br />
of his arrest on January 24*<br />
1972.<br />
Even though he was too<br />
young to be an official'member<br />
of the Union of Writers<br />
dlsUkraine, some of his works<br />
were published. A collection<br />
of his poems, entitled "Let us<br />
Bring Love to the Planet,"<br />
was printed by the "Karpaty"<br />
publishing house in Uzhorod<br />
to 1967. But the poem for<br />
which he was arrested, "Two<br />
Suitcases," was never published<br />
and the manuscripts<br />
were burned by the KGB,<br />
said the Information Service.<br />
Investigation and surveillence<br />
of Melnychuk began in<br />
the spring of 1971 after he<br />
sent a 420-page manuscript<br />
of his second collection of<br />
poems, "Chaha" to two publiahlng<br />
houses, "Soviet WrilersV<br />
in Kiev and "Karpaty.''<br />
<strong>The</strong> publisher of the "Soviet<br />
Writers" gave this manuscript<br />
to the Central Committee<br />
of the Communist<br />
Party of Ukraine from where<br />
it was sent to the oblast headquarters<br />
of the CP in Ivano-<br />
Frankivske. Alexander Chernov,<br />
secretary of the local<br />
party branch, in turn gave it<br />
to the KGB, who had Melnychuk<br />
arrested in Kosiv.<br />
At his trial. Melnychuk<br />
defended himself in vain,<br />
saying that the poems were<br />
merely an expression of what<br />
he felt and experienced. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> court determined that<br />
the publication of the poems<br />
constituted "anti-Soviet propaganda,"<br />
and sentenced him<br />
to three years.<br />

Student<br />
Congresses<br />
For the third since its revitalization during the<br />
memorable First Congress of Free <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s, held almost<br />
six years ago in New York, the World Conference<br />
of <strong>Ukrainian</strong> Students (CeSUS) will convene in Toronto<br />
the weekend of August 24-26. This, in effect, will mark<br />
the convocation of the third World Congress of <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
Students, a prestigious forum that affords <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
students from many countries of the free world to<br />
meet and discuss their specific as well as common problems.<br />
" ,<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact that the world congress is meeting on the<br />
eve of SUSK's annual parley has a special and, hopefully,<br />
beneficial significance. For no other national student<br />
body has been more active in recent years thar<br />
As in many other respects, our kinsmen in Canada<br />
are setting the pace for <strong>Ukrainian</strong>dom's progress and<br />
for our people in other countries to emulate. This u<br />
equally true of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> students in Canada whe<br />
have made many a breakthrough in recent years with<br />
such projects as fieldwork, cable television, publication<br />
and others. To be sure, SUSK and other <strong>Ukrainian</strong> youth<br />
organizations in Canada received considerable financia<br />
support from the federal government. But it was theii<br />
imagination, their awareness of the existing sources o,<br />
support, and their determination to tap them that ultimately<br />
paid off. We feel that officers of other nationa<br />
student bodies, who will be present at the SUSK але<br />
world congress, should take many a cue from the Ca<br />
nadian counterparts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> world congress of students, apart from being<br />
an exciting experience for <strong>Ukrainian</strong> youths brought ill<br />
in differing environments, should be a launching pae<br />
for many an equally exciting initiave on the inter<br />
national level. Developments in Ukraine and our attitu<br />
des toward them, coupled with the increasingly growing<br />
awareness of our <strong>Ukrainian</strong> identity here, demand anc*<br />
obviate such initiatives on the part of our academic<br />
youth.<br />
Ethnic<br />
Awareness<br />
"<strong>The</strong> growth of ethnic awareness and pride that<br />
has deeply affected blacks and other groups in recent<br />
years in now helping to rescue even the smallest nationalities<br />
from oblivion."<br />
This is one of many salient points made by Wall<br />
Street Journal reporter Roger Ricklefs In a lead story<br />
published by the paper in its July 11th edition. <strong>The</strong><br />
article, while concentrating primarily on the Armenian<br />
community in this country, makes references to <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s<br />
as well as other ethnic groups that the writer<br />
feels are experiencing a kind of revival in terms of intensified<br />
interest in their respective cultural heritage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wall Street Journal is but one of several major<br />
newspapers in this country to have exposed this social<br />
phenomenon in recent years. <strong>The</strong> New York Times,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Washington Post, <strong>The</strong> Newark Star-Ledger, just to<br />
mention a few, carried similar articles which exposed<br />
and analyzed the inner workings of various ethnic communities,<br />
including our own.<br />
It is heartening to know that the media are giving<br />
more and better exposure to what took decades to build.<br />
<strong>The</strong> obvious corollary is that we should not only continue<br />
to preserve our rich cultural heritage, but develop<br />
it and enrich it by channeling our creative talent, especially<br />
from among the younger generation, into this<br />
flourishing process that we experience and others<br />
notice. Thie is one of the answers to the often belabored<br />
and lamented question that we do not receive exposure<br />
in the American media. Discouraging though it is at<br />
times, the answer is to build, to be active, to come forward<br />
and to flaulft our <strong>Ukrainian</strong>ism.<br />
NEW YORK, N.Y. — During<br />
the past few years there<br />
has been a noticeable rise in<br />
ethnic indentification and an<br />
increase in the number of<br />
people studying their ancestral<br />
history, culture and language,<br />
according to an article by Ro-<br />
2er Ricklefs, titled "A Sent*<br />
of Identity." which appeared<br />
in the July 11th іззие of <strong>The</strong><br />
Wall Street Journal.<br />
Mr. Ricklefs went on to<br />
say that there has also beet,<br />
a change in the attitude towards<br />
ethnicity in America.<br />
Persons with whom he spoke<br />
felt that "people aren't a-<br />
ahamed to be foreign any<br />
more."<br />
Awareness, Pride<br />
On reason for this upsurge<br />
of interest, according to the<br />
author, їв "the growth of<br />
ethnic awareness and pride<br />
that has deeply affected<br />
blacks and other groups in<br />
recent years (and)- is now<br />
helping to rescue even the<br />
smallest nationalities from<br />
oblivion."<br />
"A generation ago many<br />
assumed that the Armenians.<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong>s, Rumanians and<br />
numerous other small nationalities<br />
in America would<br />
simply melt into American<br />
society ahd disappear forever<br />
as distinct subcultures. But<br />
today these groups are striving<br />
as never before to assert<br />
their identities and perpetuate<br />
th»ir. cultures. And they are<br />
making headway."<br />
<strong>The</strong> article uses the Armenian<br />
community in the United<br />
States as the example of<br />
an ethnic group that has not<br />
lost its identity and is currently<br />
enjoying this upsurge<br />
of awareness.<br />
Mr. Ricklef3 states that even<br />
though leading U.S. churches<br />
are having diminishing attendance,<br />
ethnic churches, on the<br />
other hand, are experiencing<br />
a growth. New churches are<br />
being built and old ones are<br />
being renovated.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se churches, "each serving<br />
a specific nationality, are<br />
often the principal cohesive<br />
forces of their small ethnic<br />

Bilingualiem and the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> Child In L\S.<br />
By Halya Duda<br />
As early as the 1920s social<br />
scientists and educators<br />
sought to scientifically determine<br />
whether bilingualiem<br />
affected intellectual functioning.<br />
It is important to note<br />
that the 1920's mark a period<br />
when standardized testing<br />
techniques and experimental<br />
procedures, newly developed<br />
by the social sciences, were<br />
being applied to the study of<br />
the school child.<br />
In these early studies, conclusions<br />
most often supported<br />
the current suspicion that<br />
immigrants were an inferior<br />
type of people, and that bilingualiem.<br />
a characteristic common<br />
to these foreigners, had<br />
a deterimental effect on intellectual<br />
development. However,<br />
these studies were often<br />
conducted using less than<br />
scientific procedures, producing<br />
results that are today<br />
often considered unreliable<br />
and invalid.<br />
Since this period in the<br />
1920's, however, research<br />
dealing with bilingualism has<br />
been refined, and, for vari-<br />
II<br />
ous reasons, attitudes toward<br />
bilingualism have become more<br />
positive. <strong>The</strong> passage in 1967<br />
of the Federal Bilingual Education<br />
Act and similar steps<br />
taken at the state level (e.g.,<br />
the Massachusetts Transitional<br />
Bilingual Education Act<br />
of 1971). has stimulated new<br />
interest and funded numerous<br />
experimental studies which<br />
are adding to the present<br />
store of knowledge on the<br />
effect of bilingualism on the<br />
developing child.<br />
This is not to say that all<br />
early research concluded that<br />
bilingualism has detrimental<br />
effects and all recent research<br />
has arrived at the opposite<br />
conclusion. Among the early<br />
studies can be found a few<br />
concluding lhat bilingualism<br />
does not have н detrimental<br />
effect. Likewise, among the<br />
recent studies can be found<br />
several which conclude that<br />
bilingualism has a detrimental<br />
effect or no effect at all.<br />
In order to understand how<br />
it is possible to hsve such<br />
contradictory findings, it is<br />
groups, and their improved<br />
fortunes reflect ethnic revival<br />
at least as much as religious<br />
interest," say Mr.<br />
Ricklefs.<br />
But this ethnic revival does<br />
not stop with religion. Schools<br />
that offer courses about their<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong>s"<br />

Valley branch of the UCCA. appeared in the June 27th issue<br />

Also in the field of education,<br />
many ethnic mine- !<br />
rities have endowed chairs at<br />
various, prestigious universities<br />
across the country,<br />
which lead to doctorate degrees<br />
in the study of a particular<br />
ethnic group, said the<br />
article.<br />
Face Obstacles<br />
Mr. RL'-lexs admits that<br />
these nationalities face "enormous<br />
obstacles." For example,<br />
he states that the Armenian<br />
population of 400,000 is concentrated<br />
in a few northern<br />
cities and along the western<br />
coast, and in between they are<br />
very sparsely settled. In this<br />
sparsely settled region, where<br />
there are no churches, the<br />
Armenian population is threatened<br />
by assimilation. Religious<br />
interest is growing, but<br />
many affluent Armenians are<br />
moving into the suburbs<br />
where there are no churches,<br />
and are leaving behind the<br />
poor and the old.<br />
Another obstacle is that<br />
when the first generation of<br />
immigrants die, the use of the<br />
'old country" language suffers,<br />
"no matter what schools<br />
and churches do." Mr. Ricklefs<br />
finds that language is to some<br />
degree crucial to ethnic identity,<br />
but there is fear of some<br />
ethnic leaders that their children,<br />
born in America, might<br />
not have the same feeling towards<br />
the mother tongue as<br />
they did.<br />
Despite these obstacles, Mr.<br />
Ricklefs feels that ethnic communities<br />
will continue to grow<br />
and prosper.<br />

<strong>The</strong> text of the petition is<br />
as follows:<br />
"Dear Brother Woodcock:<br />
As members of the U.A.W. we<br />
appeal to you to use the power<br />
of your office as President<br />
of the U.A.W. on behalf<br />
of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> people in the<br />
Soviet Union.<br />
"On behalf of the International<br />
Union, we ask you to<br />
appeal to the political leaders<br />
of America, asking them to<br />
withhold all economic concessions<br />
to Brezhnev until the<br />
Soviet government ceases<br />
their Stalin-style purges of<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> people, and releases<br />
those imprisoned for alleged<br />
'anti-Soviet agitation and<br />
propaganda'."<br />

cepted unanimously by the<br />
workers at their convention<br />
held here on March 21. <strong>The</strong><br />
resolution stated that the<br />
American workers support<br />

President Nixon and Leonid<br />
Brezhnev.<br />
With smiling faces they<br />
toast Russian champagne,<br />
raising their glasses, and<br />
pledged to<br />
continue his effort to expand<br />
Soviet-American friendship.<br />
He promised to return to<br />
the United States in 1975.<br />
. We cannot congratulate Mr.<br />
Nixon on the so-called "great<br />
and important aenievement"<br />
(time will tell) with Leonid<br />
Brezhnev, that man, who only<br />
a-quarter century ago under<br />
the dictatorship of Stalin,<br />
insulted American people and<br />
warned they would destroy<br />
the capitalistic country-USA.<br />
That same man with the<br />
smiling face and devil's soul,<br />
as we watch on TV, kissed Mr.<br />
Nixon on the cheek.<br />
That was the kiss of Judas.<br />
We know the economic situation<br />
in the USSR is very<br />
critical. <strong>The</strong>re are shortages<br />
of food, meat and other basic<br />
necessities. This is because<br />
the Kremlin is spending<br />
money for aggressive venture<br />
in the Middle East and Cuba.<br />
We also know that any agreement<br />
that was ever signed by<br />
the Kremlin does not have<br />
any meaning and, as history<br />
tells us, was never; kept or<br />
respected. t*<br />
'<strong>The</strong> purpose of this is not<br />
to criticize the signing of the<br />
eight or more documents<br />
between Mr. Nixon and Leoaid<br />
Brezhnev, but to ask why<br />
President Nixon does riot give<br />
the same attention to the<br />
Okrainian peop' _•, Russification<br />
of Ukraine and persecuted<br />
intellectuals, as he did to<br />
a certain group in the Soviet<br />
Union on both occasions in his<br />
historic journey to the Soviet<br />
Union in May, 1972, and at<br />

<strong>Ukrainian</strong> Congress Committee<br />
of America, which represents<br />
over two million<br />
American citizens of <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
origin, had appealed to<br />
him on many occasions, but<br />

never receive any response<br />
from President Nixon. '<br />

<strong>The</strong> Run-Around<br />
By Ivan Kernytsky<br />
Everybody said, "That runaround<br />
Jimmy, he's the bus<br />
iest, most capable young mai<br />
in town!" He worked as er<br />
rand-boy in one of the largei<br />
shopping centers, and all da)<br />
long he just rode around oi<br />
his bike down one street and<br />
up another, delivering varioui<br />
goods, mostly food, to tin<br />
homes of housewives that hai<br />
ordered them by phone. L<br />
the evenings, the poor char<br />
took himself off to night<br />
school; there was no question<br />
of having time for schoo<br />
during the day, since he had<br />
to work in order to help oui<br />
his parents, who had вопк<br />
half-dozen smaller children oi<br />
their hands.<br />
It's true that Jimmy was a<br />
religious young man. In tht<br />
mornings, when he set out oi<br />
his bike to go to work, he<br />
would always stop on the waj<br />
at the church to pray. How<br />
ever, his conversation witl<br />
God was very short; it hardly<br />
lasted for half a minute... oi<br />
rather, the fact of the matter<br />
was that Jimy simply<br />
dashed into church, did a genuflexion<br />
almost on the run,<br />
made a quick left-handed<br />
sign of the cross, and shot<br />
straight out of the house oi<br />
God, landing right on the<br />
seat of his bike.<br />
But one day, the elderly<br />
Father Benedict stopped this<br />
churchrunner, and asked:<br />
"Listen here. Jimy, . in<br />
God'e name, tell me — which<br />
prayer is it that you manage<br />
to rattle off in half a minute"<br />
"Well, Father, it's like<br />
this," said Jimmy, somewhat<br />
abashed, "everybody knows<br />
that Гт a terribly busy person,<br />
and I'm sure that Jesus<br />
Christ knows it, too, since He<br />
sees everybody and everything<br />
from His heavenly<br />
abode. And because I'm so<br />
busy, all the prayers I've ever<br />
learned are -too long. So I<br />
made up my own prayer, and<br />
I kept it really short. I just<br />
say, "Jesus Christ, it's me,<br />
Jimmy" — so that He'll know<br />
that Гт not forgetting about<br />
Him, and that I love Him."<br />
An Apology<br />
By Roman Lyaniak<br />
My teacher of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
language and literature<br />
in the secondary school in<br />
the city of Kolomya was the<br />
well known Western <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
dramatist and writer<br />
Dmytro Nykolyshyn. He had<br />
a modest estate on the outskirts<br />
of the city. A well-todo<br />
man bought a large adjoining<br />
estate. <strong>The</strong> latter was<br />
not a particularly attractive<br />

1,200 Take Part in<br />
'<strong>Ukrainian</strong> Day' in Minneapolis<br />
MINNEAPOLIS, Min. —<br />
Minnesota Governor Wendell<br />
R. Anderson proclaimed Sunday,<br />
July 1, <strong>1973</strong>, as "<strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
Day," dedicated to the<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> national and cultural<br />
heritage and to the support<br />
of the political aspirations<br />
of <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s in captive U-<br />
kraine to freedom and national<br />
statehood.<br />
As in previous years, this<br />
year's "<strong>Ukrainian</strong> Day" was<br />
sponsored by the Minnesota<br />
branch of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> Congress<br />
Committee of America<br />
under the chairmanship of<br />
John Wakiriak, local <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
businessman and civic<br />
leader.<br />
Mr. Wakiriak opened the<br />
program, which was held in<br />
a Minneapolis park on a beautiful<br />
Sunday afternoon. Some<br />
1,200 persons attended the<br />
event, which featured <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
music and dancing, political<br />
addresses and prayers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program was opened<br />
with the "Star Spangled Banner,"<br />
rendered by S. Luciw to<br />
the accompaniment of I. Mychajlonka.<br />
<strong>The</strong> opening address<br />
was delivered by Dr.<br />
Alexander A. Granoveky, Professor<br />
of the University of<br />
Minnesota and Honorary President<br />
of the Minnesota<br />
Branch of the UCCA Minnesota<br />
Branch of the UCCA. He<br />
stressed the importance of the<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> cultural and political<br />
activities in the United<br />
States, for both the <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
community in this country<br />
and <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s in the old<br />
country.<br />
<strong>The</strong> invocation was delivered<br />
by the Very Rev. Nicholas<br />
Antochy of St. Michael's<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> Orthodox<br />
Church.<br />
Oppression Cited<br />
<strong>The</strong> guest speaker at the<br />
"<strong>Ukrainian</strong> Day" program<br />
was Dr. Walter Dushnyck,<br />
editor of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Ukrainian</strong> Quarterly<br />
and member of the<br />
UCCA Executive Board in<br />
New York, who was introducew<br />
by Prof. Walter Atanas.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latter acted with<br />
Myron Dudynsky as masters<br />
of ceremonies.<br />
Dr. Dushnyck's address<br />
treated two principal themes:<br />
the 40th anniversary of the<br />
тпап-made famine in Ukraine,<br />
and the current persecution<br />
of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> people by<br />
the Soviet regime. He recounted<br />
that in 1932-1933 some 7<br />
million <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s died from<br />
starvation, the consequence of<br />
the famine deliberately created<br />
by Moscow to break the<br />
resistance of Ukraine to the<br />
collectivization that Stalin<br />
had ordered.<br />
Turning to the virulent<br />
Russification policies in Ukraine',<br />
as exemplified by the persecution<br />
and oppression of U-<br />
At the<br />
By Roman<br />
I was called upon to preside<br />
at the Silver Anniversary<br />
banquet of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
American Sports Club in New<br />
York. After the meal, it was<br />
time for the inevitable speechmaking.<br />
Prior to the proceedings, I<br />
given a long list of speakers,<br />
representing most of<br />
the local <strong>Ukrainian</strong> American<br />
societies and organizations.<br />
Presently, I invited Professor<br />
Ivan Borrylo, representative<br />
of an emigre civic organization,<br />
to address the gathering.<br />
Prof. Borrylo, a moa\<br />
dignified and ponderous per-'<br />
son, got up slowly and proceeded<br />
to unburden himself of<br />
what was on his mind, if anything.<br />
Of course, whatever he<br />
had to say had little relevance<br />
such to event as* the anniversary<br />
of a eports club. Prof.<br />
Borrylo was one of those<br />
blights on the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> A-<br />
merican community, afflicted<br />
with the unpardonable sin of<br />
a galloping tongue who, time<br />
to time, started a new phase<br />
of the oration with the line;<br />
"And in conclusion just one<br />
word more, ladies and gentlemen,"<br />
and then never kept<br />
the promise!<br />
Prof. Borrylo was an especially<br />
burdensome specimen<br />
of this type. He droned on,<br />
and on, and on interminably.<br />
krainian intellectuals, the<br />
speaker stated that developments<br />
in Ukraine point to the<br />
ever-increasing opposition of<br />
the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> people to the<br />
alien regime of Moscow. Dr.<br />
Dushnyck urged American citizens<br />
of <strong>Ukrainian</strong> ancestry<br />
as well as all other freedomloving<br />
Americans to continue<br />
appealing to the U.S. Government<br />
and President Nixon to<br />
intercede with the Soviet authorities<br />
on behalf of the persecuted<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> people.<br />
He concluded that <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s<br />
in this country must do<br />
everything within their power<br />
to make the plight of Ukraine<br />
better known to their fellow<br />
Americans, because the freedom<br />
of Ukraine and of other<br />
subjugated nations in—the.<br />
Russian Communist empire is<br />
also a concern of a free America.<br />
<strong>The</strong>reafter, the Hon. Charles<br />
Stenvig, Mayor of Minneapolis,<br />
presented Dr. Dushnyck<br />
with a certificate making him<br />
an "Honorary Citizen of the<br />
City of Minneapolis"* Mayor<br />
Steving, as well as the Hon.<br />
Rudi Perpich, Lieutenant Governor<br />
of Minnesota, in brief<br />
remarks voiced their support<br />
for <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s in their quest<br />
for freedom.<br />
Subsequently, Mr. Myron<br />
Dudynsky introduced Andrew<br />
Karkoc, president of the U-<br />
krainian Student Organization<br />
of the University of Minnesota.<br />
Speaking in <strong>Ukrainian</strong>,<br />
Mr. Karkoc addressed himself<br />
to the repressions in Ukraine,<br />
and called on <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s<br />
everywhere to continue their<br />
support for their kin in Ukraine.<br />
<strong>The</strong> entertainment portion<br />
of the program included choral<br />
selections performed by<br />
the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> Chorus "Dnipro,"<br />
under the direction of<br />
Rev. Nicholas Bryn, and of<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> folk dances performed<br />
by the SUMA Ukra<br />
inian Dance Ensemble, under<br />
the musical direction of E.<br />
A. Kuahnir, and to the piano<br />
accompaiment of I. Mychajlonka.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program was concluded<br />
by benediction, which<br />
was given by the Very Rev.<br />
George Krasevych, St. Volodymyr<br />
and Olha's <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
Orthodox Church, and the<br />
singing of the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> national<br />
anthem.<br />
<strong>The</strong> entire "<strong>Ukrainian</strong> Day"<br />
program was covered by three<br />
TV stations and by the local<br />
press.<br />

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — father's<br />
Day offered welcome<br />
respite for many dads on June<br />
17, and it gave 25 fathers<br />
in the Rochester <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
community the opportunity to<br />
celebrate a milestone in their<br />
children's lives.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Graduate Ball, sponsored<br />
by Branch 47 of the<br />
UNWLA, was held at the<br />
Carriage House here for graduates<br />
of "Ridna Shkola" and<br />
local area high schools. <strong>The</strong><br />
young men and women were<br />
feted at a dinner and dance<br />
held Sunday night at what<br />
has become a successful and<br />
popular annual event.<br />
<strong>The</strong> graduates marched into<br />
the hall prior to the serving<br />
of dinner and took their<br />
places at the head table. Mrs.<br />
Iwanna Martynetz, Branch<br />
46 president, greeted the<br />
guests. Grace was offered by<br />
Rev. .Msgr. N. Babak of St<br />
Josaphat Catholic Church and<br />
Rev. M. Kudonowych of St.<br />
Mary's Orthodox Church. •<br />
Following the dinner Mrs.<br />
Martynetz introduced representatives<br />
of local civic organizations<br />

<strong>The</strong> audience, consisting<br />
mostly of active athletes, club<br />
members and sports fans, was<br />
not conditioned to accept<br />
Prof. Borrylo'e verbal assault<br />
and grew impatient and fretful.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hum of conversation<br />
and the tinkling of glasses<br />
grew louder and louder.<br />
I felt it my duty to call for<br />
order. As I brought the gavel<br />
down with emphasis on the<br />
table, and the handle snapped.<br />
<strong>The</strong> maul-shaped instrument<br />
of hard wood hurtled* through<br />
the air and struck with a resounding<br />
thud squarely on the<br />
high bald forehead of a local<br />
butcher seated at a guest<br />
table ten feet away. <strong>The</strong> victim,<br />
who already was in a<br />
slightly euphoric state as a<br />
result of frequent references<br />
to the bottle on the table,<br />
sank back in his chair.<br />
A horrified hush followed<br />
the accident. Refusing to give<br />
me an opportunity to appologize<br />
to the victim for the unfortunate<br />
accident, the speaker<br />
took advantage of the<br />
quiet to go on with his verbal<br />
flood.<br />
In time, the stunned gentleman<br />
revived slightly. With^<br />
his eyes still closed, he said<br />
in a voice audible to all present:<br />
"Hit me again. I can still<br />
hear him."<br />
Matkowsky<br />

to sea duty. He was<br />
home on leave at the time of<br />

Msgr. Babak and Rev. Kudonowych<br />

words to the graduates, exhorting<br />
them to continue<br />
working in the <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />

join in singing "Mnohaya Lita"<br />

Exhibit oi Sophia<br />
by Olga<br />
<strong>The</strong> art of Sophia Lada<br />
was recently displayed in the<br />
Fine Arts Gallery і located on<br />
the seventh floor of John<br />
Wanamaker's Philadelphia<br />
store. <strong>The</strong> show, entitled<br />
"Oils. Acrylics and Gouaches<br />
by Sophia Lada," ran from<br />
June 6th through June 30th<br />
and featured her works from<br />
<strong>1973</strong> as well as one work from<br />
1968. Also included in this exhibit<br />
were colorful pins painted<br />
by the artist and a small<br />
five-year-<br />
eculputure by her<br />
old son.<br />
Recent Works<br />
Sophia Lada attended th*-<br />
Moore College of Art and the<br />
Pennsylvania Academy of<br />
Fine Arts. She also worked<br />
for six years in the galleries<br />
of the Philadelphia Civic Center.<br />
Because of this work, she<br />
was not able at first to channel<br />
all of her energies into<br />
her own creativeness. Recently,<br />
however, she has devoted<br />
herself completely to her art<br />
. and has attracted attention of<br />
Uwrainians and non-<strong>Ukrainian</strong>s<br />
alike. <strong>The</strong> exhibit at<br />
Wanamaker's portrayed some<br />
of her most recent work.<br />
If one can use the single<br />
1968 canvas "Vital Flame"<br />
as an example of her earlier<br />
work, it becomes evident that<br />
Sophia Lada is in the process<br />
of searching for new ideas for<br />
her art. She appears to be<br />
drawing on many sources for<br />
these ideas though these sources<br />
arc not readily discernible.<br />
<strong>The</strong> colors in this exhibit<br />
were toned down, predominating<br />
in blues and purples,<br />
although red. yellow and<br />
orange crept into highlight<br />
and accentuate. Lada often<br />
juxtaposed basically contrasting<br />
colora and she did this in<br />
a subtle manner, quite different<br />
from that used in the<br />
1968 canvas.<br />
Shimmering Space<br />
While the 1968 canvas is<br />
characterized by its flatness,<br />
the <strong>1973</strong> paintings reveal an<br />
interest in shimmering space,<br />
of the type explored in cubism<br />
(that is, even though<br />
the surface remains flat,<br />
there are areas that go forward<br />
and back.<br />
Lada's theme for this group<br />
black-and-white and color are<br />
part of each exhibition.<br />
Some of the well known<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> artists whose<br />
works have been exhibited by<br />
the Institute are: Alexander<br />
Archipenko, Lesia Borniak,<br />
Peter Kolisnyk, Adrianne Lysak,<br />
Arkadia Olenska-Petryshyn,<br />
Irma Osadsa, David Samila,<br />
Jurij Solovij, Mychajb<br />
Urban, Edward Zelenak and<br />
Radoslav Zuk.<br />
Artists whose works will be<br />
exhibited by the Institute in<br />
the near future are: Nicholas<br />
Britsky, Dior Dmytmk, Alexander<br />
Hunenko, Ronald Kostyniuk<br />
and Konstantin Milonadis.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Institute is a non-profit<br />
organization supported by<br />
members' dues, contributions<br />
and the commission from sale<br />
of works of art. It is dedicated<br />
to the encouragement of<br />
contemporary art and artists<br />
of <strong>Ukrainian</strong> extraction, and<br />
to the cause of bringing good<br />
contemporary art to the U-<br />
krainian community in Chicago<br />
and, in the future, through<br />
travelling exhibits and performers,<br />
to other <strong>Ukrainian</strong><br />
communities in the United<br />
States and Canada. <strong>The</strong> exhibits<br />
and exhibitors are selected<br />
by a jury of professional<br />
artists in consultation<br />
with the executive board.<br />
Matla-Cybrixcsky<br />
lada<br />
-\f paintings concerns itself<br />
with the personification of<br />
mature. Her imagee are centered<br />
around spirits, taken<br />
from <strong>Ukrainian</strong> literature and<br />
folklore, which inhabit or are<br />
prisoners of nature. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
spirits reach out to or peer<br />
through the viewer in a mysterious<br />
— sometimes threatening,<br />
sometimes playful —<br />
manner. In some, there is a<br />
mystical or religious air.<br />
It seem to me that these<br />
spirits may also represent the<br />
artist herself as the struggles<br />
to free her brush from the<br />
constraints of learned forms.<br />
Indeed, there are areas where<br />
she allows this to happen. In<br />
these moments the fairy-tale,<br />
ethnic appeal is replaced by<br />
powerful impressions of a<br />
deeply personal nature that<br />
tend toward the universal.<br />
This development was observed<br />
in such paintings as "Forgotten<br />
Shadows," "Heart of<br />
the Forest" and "<strong>The</strong> Game."<br />
Highly emotional, .highly<br />
реіьоЬі! and displaying a<br />
inastery of technique, Lada's<br />
show attested to the development<br />
of a very fine artist.<br />

to the one by R.H. Godfrey,<br />

Slipyj, assisted by Msgr.<br />
Dr. Ivan Choma, the Archbishop's<br />
chancellor, Rev. Yuvinaliy<br />
Mokrytaky, and Rev.<br />
Peter Steciuk. According to<br />
Eastern-rite canon, the Archbiahop-Major<br />

Superior of the Studite Order.<br />
Rev. Huzar was led into the<br />
chapel by the Rev. Antin<br />
Ryzhak, Superior of the Studite<br />
Fathers in Castelgandolfo.<br />
<strong>The</strong> entire ceremony, including<br />
the cropping of the hair<br />
and presentation of monastic<br />
vestments and insignia, as<br />
well as the taking of vows,<br />
administered by the Cardinal,<br />
was followed by a Divine Liturgy<br />
with Rev. Huzar joining<br />
as concelebrant.<br />
An appropriate sermon was<br />
delivered by Cardinal Josyf<br />
who utilized the theme of the<br />
All-Saints Day Gospel to expound<br />
on the dedication and<br />
total involvement in monastic<br />
life.<br />
Rev. Huzar, who spent his<br />
pastoral years in the United<br />
States in the region frequented<br />
by thousands of young people,<br />
endeared himself in the hearts<br />
Order<br />
Rev. Dr. Lubomyr Huzar<br />
of those who came in contact<br />
with him. A pious, humble<br />
man. Rev. Huzar also taught<br />
at St. Basil's Academy in<br />

dissertation, entitled<br />
"Ecumenical Views and Activity<br />

his doctorate in theology<br />
by the Pope Urban University<br />
in Rome. <strong>The</strong> dissertation,<br />
written in English and running<br />
close to 1.000 pages, is<br />
regarded as a major work on<br />
the late Metropolitan Sheptytsky,<br />
particularly relevant<br />
at a time when efforts for his<br />
beatification are being intensified.<br />

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.<br />
(AY). — This July Fourth<br />
marks the 25th Anniversary<br />
when Paul Ouglitzky, foremost<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> composer of<br />
this century, passed away. He<br />
was buried however inconspicuously<br />
in a remote and<br />
uncared-for cemetery in New<br />
Jersey which is unbefitting of<br />
a remarkable yet not too<br />
well-known <strong>Ukrainian</strong> musical<br />
genius who lived quietly in<br />
New York in poverty and<br />
illness.<br />
Thanks to the initiative of<br />
former <strong>Ukrainian</strong> Ballet Master<br />
and first producer of<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> Operas in America,<br />
Dmitro Chutro, who resides in<br />
Miami, and former close<br />
friend of Ouglitzky, an "Ouglitzky<br />
Memorial Fund" committee<br />
has been formed to<br />
arrange for the transfer of<br />
the Ouglitzky grave to the<br />
beautiful and more befitting<br />
St. Andrew's Cemetery in<br />
South Bound Brook, N.J.<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong> Orthodox Metropolitan<br />
Mstyslav has consented<br />
and assigned an appropriate<br />
plot for the composer's remains,<br />
<strong>The</strong> reburial is planned<br />
in November.<br />
Maestro Chutro, who collaborated<br />
with the late Ouglitzky<br />
in creating a multitude<br />
of musical compositions to<br />
enrich <strong>Ukrainian</strong> culture and<br />
theatrical performance, spoke<br />
these words about the importance<br />
of the committee's undertaking:<br />
"Paul Ouglitzky has writ<br />
ten <strong>Ukrainian</strong> operas, symphonic<br />
music, choral music,<br />
numerous compositions for<br />
piano and orchestra, ballet<br />
scores, including three masses<br />
of <strong>Ukrainian</strong> church music<br />
Ouglitzky left us a great<br />
musical literature and heritage.<br />
That is why the present<br />
grave and site is unworthy of<br />
this great man and his body<br />
should lie among other remarkable<br />
<strong>Ukrainian</strong>s in a nice<br />
cemetery, with an appropriate<br />
monument so that he<br />
will hot be forgotten. It is my<br />
wish and a responsibility of<br />
considerate <strong>Ukrainian</strong>s to<br />
help attain the committee's<br />
goal of providing a decent<br />
burial place."<br />
Serving on the committee,<br />
along with chairman Chutro,<br />
