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 />

various, prestigious universities<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 />

propaganda'."<br />

held here on March 21. <strong>The</strong><br />

Brezhnev.<br />

With smiling faces they<br />

toast Russian champagne,<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 />

<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 />

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 />

attending the event.<br />

Banquet<br />

Lysniak<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 />

years and is currently assigned<br />

to sea duty. He was<br />

home on leave at the time of<br />

Msgr. Babak and Rev. Kudonowych<br />

then spoke a few<br />

words to the graduates, exhorting<br />

them to continue<br />

working in the <strong>Ukrainian</strong><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 />

Rev. Huzar was led into the<br />

Ryzhak, Superior of the Studite<br />

Fathers in Castelgandolfo.<br />

<strong>The</strong> entire ceremony, including<br />

the cropping of the hair<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 />

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 />

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 />
