During the current year, the Supreme Organizer told participants, the UNA has spent 523,000 on advertising and an additional 532,000 on scholarships and grants for Ukrainian students. Calling the UNA more than an insurance company, Mr. Orichowsky said that the organization has supported Ukrainian community causes throughout the United States. In concluding his remarks, he appeal­ ed to all branches to carry on the campaign to bring in new members to the UNA. During the discussion that followed, participants raised a number of issues, including the hiring of more young people to work for the UNA branches. Among the branch secretaries who brought in new members to the district were: M. Sukhoversky (Branch 3), one member; M. Otrok (Branch 14), 10; R.

Good teachers really love their work. They work hard and take pride when their students succeed. But sometimes students refuse to do homework and parents act as though they couldn't care less — school boards cut budgets with an indiscriminate axe — violent students are sent back to terrorize classes again and again — and one day these good teachers say, "That's enough!" The time has come for action. Parents, administrators, school board members, and State bureaucrats shouldn't sit back and just complain.
