SOUTH BOUND BROOK, N.J. - Over 1,000 persons attended the 12th annual New Jersey UNA Day held Sunday, August 29, on the grounds of the Ukrainian Village here. The event was organized by the four UNA districts of New Jersey, and the UNA Day Committee was led by the chairmen of these districts. Serving as chairman for the 1982 UNA Day was Julian Baraniuk of Newark; vice-chair­ men were Walter Bilyk of Jersey City, Michael Zacharko of Perth Amboy and John Chomko of Passaic. Mr. Baraniuk officially opened the day's festivities at 2 p.m. by greeting all present. He then turned the program over to Andrew Keybida, who served as master of ceremonies. An invocation was recited by the Rev. Michael Peretiatko of St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in Newark. The emcee then proceeded to intro­ duce the UNA Supreme Assembly members present: Supreme Secretary Walter Sochan, Supreme Treasurer Ulana Diachuk, Supreme Organizer Stefan Hawrysz and Supreme Auditor Nestor Olesnycky.

This classical heritage, to some degree, and to a greater degree the seaport's reputation as a great export­ ing center influenced the choice of the name Odessa in the United States. For sure, immigrants chose the name "as a reminder of their homeland city." Yet, evidence shows that railroad officials, military officers, businessmen and settlers who obtained influence tended to name areas after great cities of the "old world" in order to raise the stature and importance of settlements. Often the characteristics of the land area influenced its naming.

Ukrainian camp snacks Young UNA'ers featured in newspaper NEW YORK - Writing about the snack fare at several ethnic camps in upstate New York, Daily News food writer Carol Brock included a few paragraphs on the Ukrainian Plast camp in East Chatham, and several culinary goodies found in the "care" packages brought there by parents on visiting day. One of the snacks mentioned is pliatsok, a fruit-filled pastry popular in Ukrainian households. In addition, Ms. Brock noted that some kids may get pampushkу, dumplings with fruit filling. Non-snack foods, she con­ tinued, include such Ukrainian favorites as varenyky and kabanosy. Besides including a recipe for pliatsok, Ms. Brock gave a plug for the giant Plast jamboree, which got under way in East Chatham last week. "Incidently, 1,000 Ukrainian campers from the U.S., Canada, Eleven-week-old Gregory Alexander Australia, England, Germany, Austria Cbornomaz expresses disbelief upon and Italy are now celebrating Plast's learning that he has become the 70th anniversary at Vovcha Tropa youngest member of UNA Branch 490, with a jamboree," she said. in Irvington, NJ., where his proud Probably be enough pliatsok there Little Stephanie Kun, teen here in the arms of her grandmother, Mia.
