We had arrived in September 1949, and were established residents of Jersey City, N.J., by Christmas. We lived in a storefront apartment on Ocean Avenue, where my parents were janitors of the building. I wonder if there were any people who arrived then who weren't janitors. What else could you do for rent if you couldn't speak a word of English? And no matter who or what you were back home in Ukraine, no matter what titles or status you had, when you arrived in America, you took whatever job there was, janitorial or manual labor in a factory. How many "pan magisters" pushed mops or operated elevators then? My father worked in a mattress factory for a while, but changed jobs because his hands became raw from working with the wire. His next job was at the factory that made the brass and copper horses — 1950s kitsch-chic is quite valuable now. Fathers worked during the day, mothers in the evening and at night. Greetings were exchanged on the door- step. There was no day care in those days, and even if there had been, 1 doubt if anyone was willing to leave a child with non-Ukrainian-speaking people. During those first years in America, most mothers cleaned offices at night. No English was needed here, either. Only now have I had a chance to wonder when and how my mother got her rest. With whatever little money there was, we had a Christmas tree. And one box of Christmas orna- ments. They were blue, with yellow-orange flowers painted around the middle. Ill give you one guess why those colors were chosen. That was it, that one box, and paper decorations. Until the tree was decorated, the box sat on the mantle of a large fireplace (which didn't work). The mantle was high up, especially for a 4-year-old. But curiosity won, and I managed to reach up, and pull down the box lg — all the way down, to the floor. Even now, 1 remember the look on my mother's face as she looked at me, and the broken ornaments on the floor. I think one or two remained whole. At the time, there were a few neighbors from upstairs in the room. They understood from my mother's despairing reaction that those ornaments were the only ones we had for the tree. Well, as you can guess, we had a very nice tree that year, because ^ the people from upstairs, who were not that well off themselves, gave us a few ornaments each.
