15 political prisoners support fight against Soviet Russian imperialism"
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Fifteen politi–
cal prisoners of various nationalities
incarcerated in the Soviet Union signed
a document supporting the fight against
Soviet Russian imperialism and colo–
nialism, reported the press service of the
Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council
(abroad).
. Called the Second 10 Days of Soli–
darity of nations in the fight against
Soviet Russian colonialism and imperi–
alism, the action is a follow-op to a
similar event,held in the summer of
1978. This year the 10 days were from
July 23 to August 1. Apparently the 10-
day period, called "dekada" in the
original Russian text, is supposed to
coincide with the anniversary of the
signing of the Final Act of the Confer–
ence on Security and Cooperation in
Europe or Helsinki Accords.
The 1979 statement was addressed to
the secretariat of the Group 72, the
Moscow and Ukrainian Helsinki moni–
toring groups, U.N. Secretary General
Kurt Waldheim, the 35th session of the
ЩШ U.N. General Assembly, governments

stepped up ІЦ persecution of Malynko–
vych and his family, reported the press
service of the Ukrainian Supreme
Liberation Council (abroad).
According to the council's press
service, Malynkovych, an cndocri–
nologist and a candidate for a medical
degree, is a member of the Ukrainian
Public Group to Promote the imple–
mcntation of the Helsinki Accords, it is
not known when he joined the group
but his is the latest name to be con–
nected with the Ukrainian Helsinki
watchers.
in a March 8 letter to Yuri Andropov,
chief of the KGB in Moscow, Malynko–
vych detailed the suffering inflicted on
his family as a result of what he said
were unjustified KGB searches and
interrogations.
Malynkovych's apartment was
searched by four KGB agents on March
6. He said that the search was ordered
by Ukrainian KGB's chief investigator
Maj. Slobozheniuk. but it was not
authorized by the prosecutor general.
The search was conducted while
Malynkovych was on assignment with a
commission of the Ministry of Health in
Chernihiv. The only persons at home
were his wife Halyna, his mother-in-law
Maria Hayle and two children, one of
them a six-month-old "daughter.

Tykhy criticizes kolkhozes
NEW YORK, N.Y. - An article by
Ofeksa Tykhy in which he compares
modern-day kolkhozes in the rural
areas of Ukraine to the great latifundia
of the past, has been circulating in the
iav, reported the press service of
crainian Supreme Liberation

by five years' exile. He wrote the article
abbuY rural problems in Ukraine in
response to an article which had ap–
peared in "Literaturna Ukraine."
Excerpts of the article appear below,
"it is good - although, perhaps,
several decades too late - that 'Liter–
aturna Ukraine' has raised the question
of rural problems. These problems have
troubled the peasants themselves for a
long time, it is with pain that they look
upon the desolation of the villages, the
loss of the natural love of working the
earth, and the downfall of morality and
culture in the countryside. A large

a former preacher of a Kiev Evangelical
Christian-Baptist congregation who has

imposed by the Kiev regional court for
the crimes he committed."

The paper's correspondent describes
a visit in May to a communion service of
the Kiev "lnitsiatyvnyky" Church when
he spoke to the pastor, Nikolai Ye–

council, Stepan Tsyganyuk. velichko, a
42-year-old graduate engineer, reorted
that the congregation had 600 members.
Report existence of
secret seminary in Lithuania
KESTON, England. - According to
the Lithuanian underground journal
"Perspektyvos" the existence of an
underground Catholic seminary was
hinted at during a press conference
organized by Lithuanian dissidents for
foreign journalists in vilnius on Feb–
ruary 10.
Two young men who had tried to
enter the official seminary in Kaunas
told journalists that the KGB interfered
in the annual selection of students,
forcing the Church authorities to reject
the majority of applicants. Those who
are regarded as potentially hostile to the
Soviet regime are crossed off the list.
The authorities try to ensure that those
who eventually graduate and become
priests will be loyal to the Soviet state.
Every applicant and student is at some
time summoned by the KGB and asked
to "cooperate" by supplying informa–
tioa on the other students and staff. Тік
work of the seminary is almost para–
ryzed in this manner, according to the
news service of Keston College.
THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY
is not indifferent to these problems,
because they are related to perpetual
shortages in the work force, a contin–
uous decrease in the number of school-
children, a decrease and sometimes a
halt to cultural activity in clubs, prirai–
tivism in the life of kolkhoz members,
state farm workers and the rural intel–
ligentsia.
"Why does the village (1 am speak–
ing only of the Ukrainian village,
because 1 am not familiar with the
villages of other nations) grow old and
die out? Why are old and luxurious new
buildings alike standing vacant in the
villages? Why have many farms and
small villages died? Why has the land,
the village — which for ages was the
good, generous mother —changed into
the evil stepmother from whom children
escape into servitude to the city? Why
do people, especially youths, leave the
native farmstead where everything is
dear and familiar — often constructed
by their very own hands — and go to
dormitories to the city where for five
years not even a visa is promised?
"What would the great-grandfathers
of today's 15-17-year-old great-grand-
children think if they saw their lives?
(Continued on page 3)
His wife and three school-age children
were present at the service and all attend
regularly. Apart from explaining the
communion service, velichko seems not
to have said anything else to the corres–
pondent.
Tsyganyuk, however, is quoted more
extensively. He has been the chairman
of the church council since 1975 (it is not
mentioned that the church was unre–
gistered, and therefore illegal, prior to
1975). He spoke of the separation of
Church and state which, he said, means
that there is no interference by the
authorities in the internal affairs of the
congregations.. Church income is not
taxed and is spent as the congregation
decides, in 1975, for example, the
congregation paid for the construction
of a church building.
The correspondent asked about Wes–
tern comments on the isolation of the
"lnitsiatyvnyky" from Soviet society,
persecution of their churches and the
desire of some members to emigrate.
Completely ignoring the question of
(Contomed on page 13)
However, one of the speakers stated
that there were about 15 underground
priests, who have been secretly trained
and ordained, and that there had been
an increase in the numbers being sec–
retly trained for the priesthood. "You
are no doubt aware," he remarked,
"that the present pope also studied at a
secret seminary in Cracow during the
German occupation. Why should
Lithuanians not follow his example?"
The believers hoped that the under-
ground theological courses would force
the government to increase the number
of students at Kaunas seminary, but
fear was also expressed that the KGB
would prefer to infiltrate or discredit the
"unofficial" courses and secretly or–
dained priests, if priests like Jaugelis
can now publicly appear at services,
KGB power over seminarists is threa–
tened and state apparatus could be
avoided.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - "Fascism

addition to the mass repressions of
1930-1940, one would count also the

They are similar also in their hatred
and coercion (directed against foreign
nations, ideologies and classes), intoler–

principle they do not recognize, do not

ideology and the communist regime,
especially the Soviet, are marked by
much greater hypocrisy (through great
art they mask themselves with human-

possibilities for falsification...
The actual development of socialism,
which claims to be a model for the great

When not working, he is subject to
interrogations. His wife does not have a
job and, thus has no means of support
for herself and their three children. She
gave birth to their youngest child only
two days before her husbnd's arrest. At
his trial neither a defense lawyer, friends
nor relations were allowed to be pre–
sent.
Nicoiae Bogdan, age 20, another
committee member arrested for "para–
sitism," was recently beaten in prison.
He suffered a broken arm and lost two
front teeth. His mother almost failed to
recognize him on a recent visit to the
prison. His bruises and gashes were
covered with dirty bandages.
Gheorghe Budusan, an Orthodox
believer recently released after serving a
five-month prison sentence for "para–
sitism," has experienced constant
threats. Two men forcibly picked up
Budusan's children on their way to
school and told them they were going to
kill their father. They warned the
children not to tell their father or they
would suffer the same fate. The incident
terrified the children but they did tell
their father. As yet, the men have failed
to carry out their threat.
Faced with such cases, Father Cal–
ciu's appeal to "Free Man" on Novem–
ber 14, 1978, takes on new relevance:
"Why do good men remain silent?.. We
want you to feel with us in our suffering
and cry out when we cannot: 'Enough.'"

Report new Russification campaign
NEW YORK, NY. - A new massive
Russification campaign is directed at
the very existence of the non-Russian
nations in the USSR, a message from
the Lithuanian underground asserts.
The message accompanies official So–
viet documents and appeals to the world
to focus its attention on the "crude
violation by the Soviet Union of the
human right to communicate and to
learn in one's native language," report–
ed the ELTA information Bulletin of
the Supreme Committee for Liberation
of Lithuania.
One document, taken from the 10th
issue of the Lithuanian samvydav
journal "Perspektyvos" contains ex–
cerpts from the draft recommendations
to the conference on "Russian — The
Language of Friendship and , Colla–
boration of the Peoples of the USSR."
The conference, devoted to the teaching
of Russian to non-Russians, was held in
Tashkent, Uzbek SSR, on May 22-24.
Also enclosed are the texts of two
directives from v.P. Elyutin, USSR
minister of higher and secondary spe–
cialized education, requiring more
intensive study of Russian at the ex–
pense of other parts of the curricula, as
well as similar measures.
The message of the Lithuanian
underground informs that the texts of
the recommendations were received
from Moscow in March and have been
locked up in the safes of several offices
in Lithuania. The employees are not
allowed to see the actual photocopies of
the recommendations, on which the
names of the senders and signers are
covered. "There is talk that the recom–
mendations saw the day-light with L.
Brezhnev's consent."
in recent years, the message con–
tinues, the Russification campaign has
been "particularly intensified": all
schools, from kindergartens to uni verst–
ties, are to be transformed into "chief
centers of Russification." The directives
requires that "all forms of teaching be
increasingly performed in Russian."
Analogous directives are issued also by
the ministries of the national republics.

tanf human attributes; that is, it dehu–
manizes man and society.
Liberalization is incompatible with
the structure of real socialism; it is
contrary to its essence, (it may be easier
to retrain a wolf to be a good dog, than
it would be to liberalize socialism.)
But, each attempt at forced change
may lead only to the modification of the
system in the direction of even greater
cruelty, or to the emergence of another,
less cruel totalitarian regime.
We are our system. The only hope for
change for the better (that is, the
replacement of real socialism by a
liberal democratic system suitable for
further improvement) — is change
within ourselves.
To think independently, to have one's
own beliefs and to freely express these
beliefs - such behavior (ideological
non-conformity) is accepted in the Land
of the Soviets — not only by the
authorities, but also by the ordinary
Soviet citizen (a considerable segment
of the citizenry, regardless of social
status, education and the like ) — as a
serious crime, worse than murder,
violence, robbery...
Moral opposition truly undermines
and shakes the foundations, the struc–
ture of real Soviet socialism.
No liberal-thinking persons even

Soviet Union is faced with increasing drug problem
MOSCOW, USSR. - While the
Soviet Union is not yet faced with a
major drug problem, the USSR is
located in the crossroads of the world's
major drug traffic which could drasti–
cally escalate the abuse of drugs in the
USSR, reported David K. Willis, staff
correspondent of The Christian Science
Monitor in the August 23 edition of the
newspaper.
Located between Asia and Europe,
much of world's supply of hard drugs,
such as opium, seeps across the borders
of the Soviet Union from Afghahani–
stan and Pakistan. Most of opium is
headed across the Soviet Union to
Europe, but its affects are felt in the
USSR.
Because of the Soviet Union's in–
volvement as a victim in the worldwide
trafficking of drugs, several U.S. con–
gressmen, including several who have
specialized in global drug abuse, recent–
ly urged Soviet officials here to crack-
down harder on the flow of drugs from
Asia to Europe, which now has more
hard drug addicts than the United
States, reported Mr. Willis.
Right now the Soviet Union does not
have a serious opium problem, most
experts believe. Laws against abuse and
trafficking are strict.
But the Soviet Achilles' heel is Cen–
tral Asia — Afghanistan, Pakistan, and
the so-called golden triangle of Burma,
Laos and Thailand.
The congressmen said they had heard
concern in Tashkent, capital of the
Soviet republic of Uzbekistan, which
lies close to Afghanistan, that opium
might flow across the border from
Kabul.
Rep. Lester Wolff (D-N.Y.), chair-
man of the House Select Committee on
Narcotics Abuse and Control, said the
group of 14 congressmen which he
headed had appealed to the Soviets to
use their influence in Kabul to reduce
opium poppy growing.
Moscow observers, however, doubt
the Soviets could be of much help even
if they wanted to be. Poppies are grown
in remote valleys guarded by gun-toting
Afghan tribes 'men who obey neither
Kabul nor Moscow.
Czech dissidents to go on trial
KESTON, England. - Eleven mem–
bers of the Czech human rights group,
the Committee for the Defense of the
Unjustly Prosecuted, have been charged
with "attempted subversion of the
republic" and are presently awaiting
trial, according to the Keston News
Service.
The committee, which since April
1978 has published over 100 statements
containing information about the cases
of persons who are prosecuted or
imprisoned for the expression of their
convictions, or who fall victim to
arbitrary police or judicial action, is
accused of circulating "documents
aimed at undermining the confidence of
the citizens of the Czecho-Slovak
Republic in organs of state and at
creating a hostile attitude to the socialist
system."
This "crime" carries a penalty of up to
10 years imprisonment. Among the
defendants are four Christians: Father
vaclav Maly; Charter 77 spokesman
Dr. vaclav Benda a psychologist, Jiri
Nemec, and his wife Dana — all Catho–
lics. they have been held in Prague's
Ruzyne prison since their arrest before
dawn on May 29.

said that for the first time, the Soviets
had admitted to the group that they had
the beginnings4of a serious cannabis
(marijuana) problem.
The Soviets had said that between
2,000 and 3,000 Soviet addicts were
under treatment. Addiction was most
serious in cities.
Rep. Tennyson Guyer (R-Ohio), said
some Soviet addicts had been treated
for three to five years, and that Soviets
had claimed success. Methadone, a
"blocking" drug that can itself be
addictive, was not used.
Rep. Gilman said some of those being
treated here had. been addicted to
morphine, some to cqdeine, and some
to other drugs besideS cannabis.
What should the USSR do?
The congressmen answered this way:
'. Crack down hard on drugs being
ferried by air and by boat. (Soviet
officials say they have been doing this
for years. Dogs are used at Shere–
metyevo international airport in Mos–
cow to sniff out drugs in the baggage of
transit passengers from Asia.)

and contribute to, the budget of the

Control. Today the Soviets contribute
nothing to the fund's budget, which
largely depends on the United States.
'Recognize that the Soviet Union
itself faces a potential drug problem.
"You can't easily stop the flow of
drugs through airports today," said
Rep. Wolff in a Monitor interview. "So-
called hash-oil, for instance, is a liquid
containing concentrated and strong
marijuana, it can impregnate the clo–
thing of a passenger and then be repro–
cessed later at the other end."
The problem. Rep. Wolff said, was
both air and boat travel from Asia to
Europe — from Afghanistan, Pakistan,
and the golden triangle.

transshipment point, but the sources

Meanwhile thousands of letters and

veteran Moscow observers say mari–

central Asian republics of the USSR,
visitors from the European zone of the
USSR have sometimes become ad–
dicted and have taken their addiction
home with them later.
The congressmen made it clear they
thought the Soviets should beware not
just of drugs coming from Asia to
Amsterdam and London, but to Soviet
cities as well.
On a recent trip to London, Rep.
Wolff said, he had found British offl–
cials asking the United States for help in
confronting a growing drug problem in
the United Kingdom. He believed there
were more hard-drug addicts in Europe
today than in the United States.

WASHINGTON, D C . - Before thousands of naturalized Americans

sponsored a measure which hopefully

U.S. citizens who will be visiting the

Rep. Gilman said.
The congressman explained that on
July 1 "a new and arrogant Soviet
citizenship law" went into effect which
states that anyone born in the USSR
retains Soviet citizenship regardless of
citizenship held in another country, and
regardless of attempted renunciation of
Soviet citizenship. That individual is
thus subject to the full range of Soviet
law.
"For Ukrainian-born Americans,
Russian-bom Americans, Armenian-
Americans, Baltic state-Americans and
others, there is a vastly increased fear of

Rep. Gilman said.
Rep. Gilman has co-sponsored a
resolution which asks the president to
seek assurance from the Soviet govern–
ment that American citizens born in the
USSR will not be discriminated against
by any aspect of Soviet law by virtue of
their birthplace.
The resolution continues by noting
that if such basic reassurance is not
forthcoming from the Soviets, "the

"This new Soviet law is virtually a

A salute on their day
For most of us, the Labor Day holiday traditionally observed on the first
Monday of September provides a special three-day weekend which marks the
unofficial end of summer, it is perhaps the last summer weekend to get away
from the city and enjoy the beaches, mountains and the like. And then, it's
back to business as usual, be it study or work.
. Contrary to popular belief, however. Labor Day is more than just a day off.
it is a holiday with a meaning, a holiday with a purpose, i.e. to honor the
United States labor force. For, as Peter J.McGuire put it, labor is "the great
vital force of the nation."
For the record, Mr. McGuire was the man who began the Labor Day
tradition. As, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
of America and a leader of the Knights of Labor, he campaigned for the
welfare of the working man by fighting for measures such as the institution of
the eight-hour work day. Mr. McGuire first proposed a holiday to honor
labor in 1882. The Knights of Labor marched in the fust Labor Day parade in
New York City that very year and then pushed for official recognition of the
day. in 1887 the holiday was first approved by the state of Oregon; in 1894 the
U.S. Congress established it as a legal holiday throughout the country.
Mr. McGuire's words about the labor force are indeed true. For who was it,
if not the worker, who worked the coal mines, manned the factories, plowed
the fields and laid the railroad tracks? it was the worker who industrialized
the United States quickly and efficiently and provided for the high standard
of living we enjoy today.(lt is well to remember that Ukrainians, too, were a
part of this force.J^
So, while we enjoy our long weekend, let us not forget to salute members of
the labor force on their day.
A welcome precedent
Now that the dust has settled over the Godunov-viasova affair, which for
four days had kept media reporters and television crews hopping and millions
of Americans following the developments with breathtaking fascination,
some conclusions can be drawn from what was in fact a confrontation
between the American and the Soviet governments.
This was hardly the context in which the American media handled the
affair, which chose to treat it as a made-for-television drama. Those of us who
remember the forced repatriation of our people from the Displaced Persons
camps as part of the infamous "Operation Keelhaul" or the more recent
caseof Lithuanian sailor Simas Kudirka saw this incident in a rather different
light and looked on with trepidation as the American officials allowed a
bunch of Soviet goons to "escort" Miss viasova to the Aeroflot plane at the
Kennedy Airport in New York.
But that's where the turnabout occurred, much to the relief of those with
poignant memories. The plane was not allowed to leave until the American
officials ascertained that the Russian ballerina did indeed want to return to
Moscow. This was a precedent-setting move on the part of the heretofore soft-
pedalling America officialdom and it's a welcome one.
To be sure, the American officials could have been more adamant in
insisting that they be allowed to speak to the ballerina immediately and not
three days later, that her husband be allowed to meet with her privately as he
wanted to, and that the Soviets be barred from thefinalmeeting with her. All
this was within the framework of legality that the American officials oviated
possibly for the sake of diplomacy.
in the final analysis, however, the ballerina had a choice thanks to the
insistence and the persistence of the American officials, in this sense this
precedent is most meaningful and reassuring for the future.
Apples, hammers and cats
The writer of the August 27 editorial in the Wall Street Journal about the
Kurdish rebellion must have fared poorly on the group association part of the
1.Q. test and on history exams to have placed in the same category the
independence of the Kurds, Ukrainians and the Confederate States of
America,
The editorial said that "an independent Kurdistan is not exactly a human
right, of course, any more than an independent Ukraine or an independent
Confederacy." To lump together three such unrelated things as the
independence of Kurdistan, Ukraine and the Confederacy is an example of a
colossal lack of knowledge.
The Kurds are a separate nation of several million people residing in iran,
Turkey and lraq, who do not share a common heritage with the other ethnic
groups in their countries of settlement. Their desire for autonomy, not even
independence, is a desire to foster and preserve their many-thousand-year-old
heritage.
The southern states' secession from the United States and the formation of
the Confederacy cannot be compared to either the Kurdish cause or the
Ukrainian cause. Nation building was not the Confederacy's primary goal.
The establishment of the Confederacy was basically the result of a
disagreement about slavery between the southern states, whose leaders had
adopted the Declaration of independence and had ratified the Constitution,
and the northern states.
The inclusion of Ukraine in this comparison is most confusing. The writer
must have forgotten or overlooked that Ukraine has a history of its own
which stretches over a millenium, its own culture, language and customs,
which differ from those of its neighbors.
The writer also must have forgotten that Ukraine has its own tradition of
independence - its people freely re-established an independent state in 1918,
and despite being forcibly included in the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics, the Ukrainian people have several times since then manifested the
desire to regain independence.
For Ukraine, independence is arightto which it is entitled, arightwhich
was savagely stolen from its people, and arightthat must and will be returned
to it.
By allowing such a statement to be included in its editorial, the editors of
the Wall Street Journal have committed a grave injustice against the
Ukrainian people. They would be remiss in their responsibilities if, after
researching the history of Ukraine and studying the pertinent information
that they will receive from our people, they did not correct their error.

KGB steps up persecution... Social security notes

stipulate that such a search could be
conducted under only emergency condi–
tions.
"Who could explain what emergency
conditions were in effect, especially
when there were infants in the house,"
he said.
Malynkovych further argued that
Article 177 of the Criminal Code says
that a search of a home could be
conducted only if there is reason to
believe that the suspect is in possession
of criminal material. Malynkovych said
that since no criminal material was
found in his home and the items con–
fiscated were not of a criminal nature,
"then on what grounds was the search
conducted."
He also questioned the presence in his
apartment of two men who did not sign
the search report.
Malynkovych demanded that in
addition to replying to his questions,
that the confiscated articles be returned
to him.
Malynkovych said that he and his
family faced KGB harassment since
early December 1978.
For eight hours on December 9, 1978.
and for six hours on December 10,1978,
Malynkovych was interrogated by the
KGB.
The KGB told him to sign its warning
which states that if he does not cease his
criminal activity he will be arrested.
Malynkovych refused to sign the docu–
ment on the grounds that he does not
believe he broke any laws.
Malynkovych said that the KGB
admitted to him that he did not yet
break any laws and that the reason for
the interrogations was to prevent an
arrest.
in January and February of this year
' Malynkovych's in-laws were interro–
gated by the KGB and warned that if he
does not cease his activity their
daughter and grandchildren will suffer,
in February Malynkovych's wife heard
the same warning.
Malynkovych feels that the reason
for the search of his apartment and the

JERSEY C1TY, N.J. - This is the
time of year when the earnings of many
working people who receive social
security benefits are approaching the
point where their benefits may be
affected, Francis J. McDonough, social
security district manager here, said
recently.
Once a person's earnings exceed the
annual limit, S1 in benefits is generally
withheld for each 52 of earnings. The
1979 annual limits are 53,480 for people
under 65 and 54,500 for people 65 or
over.
Many people getting benefits plan to
earn no more than the limit but for one
reason or another, their earnings exceed
it and they have to repay benefits that
were incorrectly paid.
That is the reason, Mr. McDonough
said, people should take a little time to
review their earnings for the first part of
1979 and make sure of where they stand.
One thing people should keep in mind
is that gross earnings, not just take-
home pay, count towards the annual
limit. Remembering this point will keep
many people from going over the limit,
Mr. McDonough said.
Another important point is that it is
when wages are earned, not paid, that
decides whether they should be
counted;
More information about how earn–
ings affect social security benefits can be
found in the leaflet, "if you work after
you retire." Copies can be obtained at

Recording praised as new musical milestone
The following article appeared in the
August 5 issue of the Gazette Journal of
Reno, Nev. it was written by the
newspaper's arts critic, Mark Oliva.
One of the first myths in the arts is the
tale that greatness and recognition have
something in common with each other.
Like their next-door neighbors, the
showbiz stars, artists tend to rise and
fall not only on the basis of whom they
know but also where they are. in the
United States a pianist may be able to
play musical circles around viadimir
Horowitz, but if he or she isn't well-
connected in the East, regional artist
probably is the ultimate ranking avail-
able.
Nevada's most prominent victim of
place discrimination is virko Baley, a
41-year-old music professor at the
University of Nevada Las vegas. He
is one of the finest keyboard virtuosi
making music anywhere, it's not neces–
sary to take the work of a solo Reno
critic on that. Mr. Baley has a scrap-
book of reviews from the top critics at
the Lost Angeles Times and the San
Francisco. Chronicle which offer the
same appraisal.
Mr. Baley is no stranger to Reno's
musical audience. His visage, once
hidden behind a beard that became
legend, but now clean-shaven (and
mysteriously 10 years younger), has
been an important part of the local
concert scene, both in solo appearances
with the Reno Philharmonic and as
composer-conductor-pianist in the
annual Spring Arts Festival.
Withing the state, Mr. Baley is
acknowledged as one of the top leaders
in the arts movement. He is the founder
and director of the Las vegas Chamber
Players, an ensemble that is, by a
substantial margin, the highest quality
classical music group in the state. He is
the founder and director of the annual
Las vegas Contemporary Music Festi–
val, an event that draws international
attention and major composers from
around the world to Nevada each year.
Mr. Baley is a respected and publish–
ed musicologist. He is a composer of
substantial stature. His works not only
are written; they arc performed. And
many of his compositions are done on
commission.
On this side of the Rocky Mountains.
Mr. Baley is in the first echelon of
music. East of Denver, he's been a
virtual non-entity, until now. But,
happily, things have gone right for a
change. Mr. Baley, at last, is making it,
regardless of geography.
One of the leading classical record
lables recently added Mr. Baley to its
roster of talent. His first album has just
been released, as Orion ORS 79331. A
second already is in the can, awaiting
pressing. And a third is under way. in
the music business, being recorded
means being widely reviewed and
broadcast. Those are elusive but vital
ingredients to success.
The recording contract, in turn, has
made available to Mr. Baley exposure
unprecedented in his career. He's just
been signed for a "man and the music"
intermission feature in next year's
national Boston Symphony broadcasts.
Mr. Baley's debut album makes such
a resounding contribution to music that
a dash of awe and congratulations are in
order. Even if Mr. Baley were some
obscure talent from the lost land of
Tannu Tuva, this initial disc would win
our rating as the finest chamber music
album to date in 1979.

and fellow Ukrainian expatriate Eugene

together in one work. To do so with
such success is indeed rare. Within the

Ukrainians participate in Slavs Day in iron Range

MINNEAPOLIS, МІПП. - in
northeastern Minnesota, where the
cities of Hibbing, Chisholm, Eveleth
and virginia are located, lies the center
of the world's largest commercial
deposits of iron. Hence the name iron
Range came into being, the exploita–
tion of this wealth began in the 1890s,
thus creating a livelihood for thousands
of immigrants, a large number of them
being of Slavic origin, and many of
them Ukrainians.
To preserve and learn the past history
of this region and its people, a special
institute was established four years ago,
near. Chisholm, called the iron Range
interpretative Center. The purpose of
this government sponsored center is to
tell the story of the culture and history
of the people of this region, through
models, literature, audio-visual
presentation, photographic technique
and imaginative exhibits.
Despite the fact that many
inhabitants of this area are of Ukrainian
origin, there is no organized community
here. The only Ukrainian. Catholic
Church, built in 1916, is closed because
there is no priest. This lack of a sign of
Ukrainian activity is the main reason
why the contribution of Ukrainian
settlers to the growth and development
of the iron Range is very inadequately
documented at the interpretative
Center.
On a plaque which lists the
nationalities of the people who first
settled in this region, Ukrainians are
omitted. Dr. Michael J. Kozak of
Minneapolis is presently in contact with
the administration of the interpretative
Center in order to correct this oversight
and to assure proper recognition for the
iron Range Ukrainians.
First Ukrainian church
in Canada marks anniversary
by John Panchuk
Some progress has already been
made. Robert T. Scott, director of the
center, who has informed himself of the
history and the plight of the Ukrainian
people, is very sympathetic toward this
venture. Recently, he expressed an
assurance that all omissions pertaining
to the Ukrainians will soon be
corrected. Thanks to his and his
associates efforts, each year "ethnic
days" are held, which always include a
Ukrainian program.
This year, on August 19, an All-Slav
Day was held, attended by several
thousand people. The main feature of
this event was the Ukrainian program.
For this reason a group of 60 people
arrived from Minneapolis, it included
older and younger groups of the Dance
Ensemble "Zahrava" of St.
Constantine's parish under the
direction of Myron Pawlyshyn, the
singers "Akord," directed by George
Lucyk, and a group of ladies who
prepared an exhibit of Ukrainian arts
and crafts.
Early in the morning, Maria Luciw,
Lidia Kozak, Evette Pawlyshyn and
Maria Stec arranged in the main lobby
of the center an impressive display of
Ukrainian embroidery, wood carving,
ceramics and decorated Easter eggs. On
the wall above it, they posted a map of
Europe with prominently marked
borders of Ukraine, which was prepared
by Myron Sted.
The beauty of the Ukrainian art
immediately captured the attention of
many visitors. This interest was
enhaced, by the projection, in an
adjacent room, of the film "Pysanka"
produced by Slavko Nowytsky. Over
2,000 brochures titled "Ukraine - the
Members of the Dance Ensemble "Zahrava" - Nadia Kozak, Jim Nimchuk, Kathy
Pawlyshyn, Mike Popadiuk and Adrian Stec performing the Hutsul dance.
Land of our Ancestors" were
distributed among the public. Also, a
special radio interview was held with
Dr. and Mrs. Kozak pertaining to the
Ukrainian people and their art.
The concert part of the program,
which also included performances by
Serbs, Croats and Slovenians, was held
in the afternoon, it was held outside, on
a specially erected stage.
it was initiated with a presentation of
the flags of those nationalities who were
among the first settlers on the iron
Range. The Ukrainian flag was carried
by Markian Stec and Tommy
Gallagher. The American national
anthem was sung by Robert T. Scott
and Slavomyr Luciw. After introduc–
tory remarks by Joe Drazenovich, a
representative of the center, an hour–
and-a-half long Ukrainian program
commenced, which was hosted by Sally
Pawlyshyn Gallagher. She informed the
audience about the Ukrainians in
Minnesota and their contribution to the
state. When she spoke of the hospitality
of the Ukrainian people, members of
the dance ensemble, dressed in tradi–
tional Ukrainian costumes, entered the
stage with two girls holding bread and
salt on beatifully embroidered towels.
They were greeted by the audience with
loud applause, immediately after this
ceremony they performed several
Ukrainian folk dances to music provid–
ed by Otto and Lynn Abramchuk and
George Lucyk. This performance was
well complimented by a selection of
melodious Ukrainian songs, rendered
by the members of "Akord" (Rosemarie
Kycia, Sally Pawlyshyn Gallagher,
Nadia Kozak, Myron Pawlyshyn and
George Lucyk).
vigorous dances, harmonious music,
beautiful songs, youthful performers
and a well run program — all combined
to make a great impression on the
viewers, interesting variety was added
to the program by the modeling and
explanation of Poltava and Hutsul
costumes. For this presentation the
audience rewarded the performers with
a prolonged ovation.
Much of the program was photo-
graphed by reporters of a Duluth
television station. They also held a
interview with members of the dance
ensemble, Nadia Kozak, Jim Nimchuk
and Roman Kozak. The main question
they asked was why the dancers are
interested in preserving and promoting
the heritage of their Ukrainian ances–
tors.
in summary, it may be stated that this
year's Ukrainian participation in the
All-Slav Day was well organized and
very successfull. it presented a good
opportunity to inform and share with
thousands of non-Ukrainians the riches
of the cultural heritage of the Ukrainian
people.

DOES THE UNA NEED A CENTRAL
CREDIT U N I O N OF ITS OWN?
A credit union of our own would provide:
1. Higher interest rates on savings of members.
2. Convenient place for members to save.
3. Systematic savings plan directly from wages of employees.
4. Convenient andfavorable loans to members at lower interest rates.
5. Direct repayment of loans out of wages of employees.
6. Life insurance on savings and on loans.
7. Higher education loans.
8. A S5 deposit would make you a member.
The Ukrainian National Association would provide an office for the credit
union without charge and "seed money " to get the credit union started.
The credit union would be open to all members ofthe UN'A. to allemployees
of the UNA and Svoboda, especially those who do not have a credit union in
their locality.
The credit union would be operated by qualified persons elected by the
members of the credit union at its annual meeting.
