NEW YORK, N.Y. - Seven repre­ sentatives of Ukrainian youth, student and sports organizations told some 400 persons here at the Ukrainian National Home that membership in a Ukrainian organization is not only important and beneficial to the young person, but to the Ukrainian community as well. The many valuable contributions of Ukrainian youth, student and sports organizations to the Ukrainian society was the theme of a panel discussion here on Sunday, March 23. Sponsored by the UCCA . Conference of Central Ukrainian Youth and Student Organ­ ization, the panel was conceived to be a starting point for a major organizing campaign on behalf of all youth and student organizations.

Prometheus choir plans first tour of Europe PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - The Pro­ metheus choir of Philadelphia, one of the leading male vocal choruses in the United States, will leave on May 14 for its first two-week tour of Europe. The tour, which has been the focus of the choir's activities for the last two years, represents the culmination of a successful fund raising and planning effort by the choir's 50 members and it's musical director, Michael Dlaboha. The organizing committee, working closely with Ukrainian singer and bandurist Volodymyr Luciw of Lon­ don, England, has prepared a schedule of nine concerts in four countries. Performances will take place in Man­ chester (May 16), Bradford (May 17) and London (May 18), England; Nantes (May 20), Lorient (May 22), Rennes (May 23) and Paris (May 24), France; Utrecht (May 27), Netherlands; and Munich (May 31), West Germany. Mr. Luciw, who has a record of many successfully organized tours in the United States and overseas, recently met with Prometheus's organizing committee in Philadelphia and reported that all arrangements have been com­ pleted.
