As part of its action, the WCFU commission sent separate letters to U.S. and Canadian government officials urging the to "use strongest possible pressure to persuade the USSR authorities to release these two men on humanitarian grounds." The letters were signed by Canadian Sen. Paul Yuzyk, commission chairman, and Mykola Moros, executive secretary. In addition, the commission included short biographies of the two men with details pertaining to their cases. In asking for the release of Messrs. Shukhevych and Svitlychny, the commission noted that both men are entitled under Soviet law to be released on medical grounds.

Soyuzivka spruces up for summer season

Soyuzivka, the Ukrainian National Association's year-round resort located m the Sha-wan-gunk region of the Catskill Mountains in Kerhonkson, NY, was bought by the UNA in May 1952. Once the Andrew Foorde Sanato­ rium, the estate was originally pur­ chased with the intention of being used as a home for senior citizens, but plans soon changed, and it has served as an attractive, relaxing resort during the summer months and as a popular place to hold weddings, conventions and parties during the off-season. This, the 30th year for Soyuzivka, brings a few changes and a few new faces. Once again it promises to be a relaxing, laid-back summer for va­ cationers who come to take in the sun, enjoy the view and get together with old and new friends, for, as the saying goes, "There's no place like Soyuzivka." Like every summer resort, Soyuzivka undergoes a facelift before the crowds arrive for the opening festivities. For the past three months, a small staff of workers has been using the old elbow grease to get the place into shape. The 65 rooms stand vacant for a better part of the year, thus they all need The management this year will include a new face, George Prokopec, (top, right) who moved into the estate in a good airing out, a fresh coat of paint April and who takes over the duties of manager, under the direction of Walter Kwas (below), Soyuzivka'e "hospodar." and a few added extras, whether it be a Assisting them will be Maria Hankewych.

He says that here in the Catskills he finds "the scenery new mattresses. New bathtubs have been nice and the people even nicer." Having worked as a manager of a 122-unit motel, Mr. Prokopec is no stranger to the installed in some of the rooms, and the duties of running a resort He is, looking forward to being and working with Ukrainians.

'Even Chemnyi is getting ready for the summer season," Mr. Kwas says. "We've put him on a diet." Chemnyi is Soyuzivka'e 9-year-old collie mascot, as familiar to Soyuzivka vacationers as Mr. Kwas himself.

Soyuzivka officially opens its summer season this 4th of July weekend with a variety of events. Besides basking in the warm sun (Mr. Kwas promises good weather) visitors can enjoy the scenic countryside and watch the USCAK- East tennis tourney during the three-day weekend. Anya Dydyk will emcee a special Independence Day concert program featuring diverse musical and vocal talents, in addition to a traditional Saturday evening show Highlights of Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening will be dances to the music of Alex Chudohj and Dorko Senchyshyn (formerly the Soyuzivka band)and the popular Tempo Orchestra from New York City.

Mrs. Chuchman corrected the figure from S30,000to 576,000. "The UNA branch secretaries took part in the fund-raising program; I know because I worked on that 9 committee. When Soyuzivka was purchased it was deemed to be too large for the Senior citizens corner small number of applicants who had applied for residency at the 'home,' and the premises were turned into a resort for Ukrainian youth." by Marion Kushnir Burbella Mr. Kuropas explained why the fund-raising was curtailed. The new immigration pleaded that funds were needed to help the suffering freedom fighters in Carpatho-Ukraine, as well as for the Ukrainians who had fled the Communist Pert П invasion of Ukraine. The seniors home fund drive was frozen at 576,000.

'Recommendation Special awards should be given to unassigned branches for organizing larger numbers of new members, because they are not included in any UNA district, where they can compete for prizes; neither do they have any representation.
