The presentation took place on Wednesday, January 23. The mayor honored each committee member with a Community Service Award and thanked the commit­ tee for its hard work and diligence in increasing the public's knowledge of the Great Famine of 1932-33 in Ukraine. He cited the committee for staging a manifestation in observance of the 50th anniversary of the famine, sponsoring a premiere of the documentary "Harvest of Despair" and erecting a monument to famine victims on City Hall grounds. The chairman of the committee, Harry Dmytryshyn, thanked the mayor for the awards and reiterated that none of these events would have been possible without the full cooperation of the mayor, who, through his support and encouragement, helped to bring about the successful culmination of all these projects. Furthermore, he said, the staff at City Hall was extremely helpful in all areas and as a result, such cooperation made these endeavors fruitful. The mayor was presented with a selection of books William Norrie, Harry Dmytryshyn (chairman), on the famine-genocide.

by Olena Hanushevska-Galadza

CHICAGO - Odarka Figlus's re­ cent photographic exhibit "Churches of Lemkivshchyna," held here at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, captured the beauty of old Ukrainian churches now on Polish territory. Ms. Figlus of Denver, spent 10 days in thesummerof 1979travellingthrough the hills and back roads of the Lemko region of Poland, stopping in towns like Daliova, Novosilka, Hoshiv, Lutovy- ska and Turynsko. - "We would drive into a village and look up, searching above the trees for a cross or some sign of a church," ex­ plained Ms. Figlus. The freedom of movement — greater than that in Soviet Ukraine — allowed her to cover more than 50 different towns, from Krynytsia in the South, to Sianik in the North. These were inhabited by Lemkos before World War II. "In some places," she continued, "we saw a large church, with only two or three small houses close by, indicating the possibility that the entire village had Photographer Odarka Figlus viewing the exhibit "Churches of Lemkivshchyna" with Oleh Koverko, head of the been wiped out or 'relocated' during the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in Chicago. ^ last war."

by Lydia B. Lazurenko

WARREN, Mich. - Not even the frigid winter weather prevented mem­ bers of the Ukrainian community of Metropolitan Detroit from enjoying the annual debutante ball presented by the Society of Ukrainian Engineers of America. Over 300 guests attended this year's debutante ball, held on February 26 at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Warren, a suburb of Detroit. The society's annual debutante ball has been a significant event in the social life of the Ukrainian community of Metropolitan Detroit throughout the past 25 years. This year's ball had an added significance, since it marked 35 years of the existence of the Society of Ukrainian Engineers in Detroit, which has become an important factor in the life of the local Ukrainian community.
