In observance of The Weekly's 50th From our pages in 1954 Ukrainian Weekly "Our Ukrainian culture festivals," June 19, 1954: 1 Svoboda recently contained a commentary upon the nature of programs such as the one presented recently at the Ukrainian Festival program, in Carnegie Hall, New York City, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Ukrainian National What's he up to? Association. The writer highly praises this UNA festival program, the preparations that went into it. its fine presentation, the equally fine and talented performances of those Of late, Poland's Roman Catholic Primate Cardinal Jozef Glemp who took part in it - most of them younger-generation Ukrainian Americans, has been a hard man to figure. Before the current "crucifix crisis" including quite a number of the ncwly.arrived young persons. He further points out virtually forced him to openly challenge the military regime, he the value of such presentations in keeping alive in our young people a warm sounded more like a committed guardian of official views than of his appreciation of their rich Ukrainian cultural heritage, including our famed Ukrainian songs, dances, costumes, handicrafts and customs in general. Such an nation's hopes and aspirations. This was dramatically apparent when, appreciation, he goes on. will inspire them to further cultivate here on the free during his recent stint in South America, he was quoted as saying that American soil the finest elements of their Ukrainian heritage, and at the same time, the outlawed Solidarity trade union "no longer defends the working introduce its best and most adaptable elements into the stream of American culture class" of Poland and that its leader. Lech Walesa, had been and life in general thereby helping to enrich it. Finally, he brings out the fact that "manipulated" by unnamed forces. Earlier, the cardinal angered both affairs such as this UNA festival, including the very many that have preceded it — clergy and laity when he ordered the transfer of the Rev. Mieczyslaw such as the famed Echoes of Ukraine, preceded by the Ukrainian festivals Nowak, a Warsaw priest and an outspoken supporter of Solidarity. conducted under the auspices of the Ukrainian Youth's League of North America So what is Cardinal Glemp up to? Has he, as some Solidarity at the World's Fairs in this country, notably at the Great Lakes Exposition in supporters have argued, sold his soul to the junta, caved in to the Cleveland, and the World's Fair in New York — that all of them, including the commissars? Hardly. But his tactless gagging of unruly priests and nationwide radio broadcasts of Ukrainian songs by Ukrainian American youth choruses, and then, even earlier the famed concert appearances of the world famed impolitic salvos at Solidarity raise serious concerns about just how far Koshctz chorus, all of them have been greatly instrumental in making the American he is willing to go to improve Church-state relations. people realize the beauty and richness of Ukrainian culture. In Communist Poland, those relations have always been complex. Having touched upon all this, directly and indirectly, the Svoboda writer asks Although the country's Roman Catholic Church has enjoyed a several questions. measure of autonomy not enjoyed by any Church anywhere in the In our .future Ukrainian cultural program presentations shall we continue to Eastern bloc, the Church's legal status has been ambiguous since the adhere mainly to Ukrainian folk art, i.e. folksongs, folk dances, folk costumes and Polish government abrogated the concordat with the Vatican in 1945. folk art in general? Should the character of these presentations remain mainly What Cardinal Glemp would doubtlessly like to see is some type of ethnographic? Would it not be well at this time to begin to seek new fields of official rapproachement between the Polish Church and the Ukrainian artistic expression, for the benefit of our young American and newly government, and between the government and the Vatican. By arrived persons, and for the propagation among our fellow Americans of non- reigning in the more boisterously anti-government bishops and Ukrainian stock the fact that Ukrainian artistic creativeness is not largely limited to clergy, and distancing himself from Solidarity, Cardinal Glemp folk art? probably hopes to induce the government to establish diplomatic The writer does not at all disparage these semi-ethnographic Ukrainian cultural programs, but praises them highly and looks forward to their further presentations, relations with the Vatican, an idea that was always opposed by his ever better and better.

We think it worthwhile, however, to raise the matter once again. Another possible motive for Cardinal Glemp's recent actions is his effort to gain government permission for a Church-sponsored fund to help private farming as well as enactment of legislation safeguarding "The theory of communism," April 23, 1954: the Church's legal status. His anti-Solidarity outburst could also have been piqued by the apparent upsurge of lay activity in the Church, The theory of communism, as laid down by Marx and enlarged upon by his much of it by Solidarity sympathizers interned during martial law. followers and disciples, holds that all agencies of production shall be common!) owned by the people; that goods and services shall be equitably divided, and each There are those who have suggested that Cardinal Glemp is in reality produce according to his ability and consume according to his need.

Try as he may, Cardinal Glemp has neither the public trust nor enormously different. So it has been with Communist doctrine.

JENKINTOWN, Pa. - Joseph M. Stoutzenberger of Elkins Park, a lec­ turer at Manor Junior College in Jenkintown, has written a textbook which will be published in April. Mr. Stoutzenberger, who has been involved in religious education for 17 years, has written the book, "Celebrat­ ing Sacraments" which will be publish­ ed by St. Mary's Press. The goal of his book is to discover the contemporary meaning of the seven Catholic sacraments. It begins with a thorough discussion of the origins, meanings and purposes of the sacra­ ments in general and then discusses each of the seven Catholic sacraments in detail, including the symbols, rituals The altar boys of St. Demetrius with the sacristans and pastor, the Rt.

This organization grew very rapidly, attracting to itself many members. S0YUZIVKA When World War I broke out, the Ukrainian nation was under the yoke of two states — Russia and Austria Hungary. The rule of both of these countries was very oppressive. Each state was trying to SUMMER denationalize the Ukrainians. And yet, the lot of western Ukrainians was comparatively milder than that of their brothers under Russia. Therefore, when the 1984 war broke out many Ukrainians put their reliance upon Austria, hoping that in the event she was victorious, she would seize the Ukrainian territories under Russia, ATTENTION and help Ukrainians create a free and independent Ukrainian state. Today we know1 YOUNG MUSICIANS ft SINGERS how futile this hope was. To make this dream an actuality, the Ukrainians organized a legion of volunteers Are You interested in: who became known as the Sichovi Striltsi. EARNING MONEY.

ESTATE - SOYUZIVKA? The immediate purpose of the Sichovi Striltsi was to helpdefeat the Russians and The Management of the Estate announces plans for thus liberate Ukraine. The popularity of this movement was evidenced by the fact that within two weeks AUDITIONS more than 30.000 Ukrainians volunteered. Most of these volunteered. Most these for the volunteers were students, who saw in this movement a chance to liberate their mother Ukraine, and who were prepared even to sacrifice their lives to attain this SUMMER '84 SOYUZIVKA HOUSE BAND goal. For information please contact: The Poles, however, being apprehensive of this show of Ukrainian strength, Anya Dydyk, c/o UNA Home Office, prevailed upon the Austrian government to reduce this legion to a few thousand, 30 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, N.

We all know how bravely this comparatively small force of idealists fought throughout the war; how futile were the Ukrainian hopes for Austrian aid, and, finally, we all know what a leading part the Sichovi Striltsi took during the time of the Ukrainian National Republic — defending it at all times against numerous -enemies. " In Honor of Its And yet. what impresses us most is not what they.acconjp.lisne,cj., but Jh,e spirit 90th Jubilee with which they accomplished it — their idealism." THE Here, mind you, was the very flower of Ukrainian youth, standing on the UKRAINIAN threshold of wonderful promises and posibilities, suddenly casting all of this aside NATIONAL for an ideal - the establishment of an independent state of Ukraine. ASSOCIATION Nothing deterred them in the pursuit of this goal - neither defeat, nor typhus, Presents nor death, nor the lack of ammunition and equipment. A passionate love for their mother Ukraine, coupled with a will to die for her, together with a cheerfulness of spirit - this well describes the Sichovi Striltsi. ... Although the Ukrainian Sichovi Striltsi no longer exist as a fighting unit, yet UKRAINIAN their memory and spirit shall always be among the fighters for Ukrainian national liberties, never forsaking them, always giving courage to the present the future SYMPHONIC CONCERT defenders of Ukrainian liberties, including, in their particular sector, young Americans of Ukrainian descent. The Sichovi Striltsi have also left us another priceless heritage — their matchless songs - which are so popular among the old and the young. These songs were an inseparable part ol the Sichovi Striltsi. They were born in the trenches, in the mnd. on the march, in bloody battles and even in the hospitals - and for that reason they express in their own inimitable way all the ideals, desires, joys and sorrows of the Ukrainian Sichovi Striltsi. May they resound down through the ages as a memory to those Ukrainian heroes, to those Ukrainian Sichovi Striltsi; and as an inspiration to all of our young Ukrainian Americans.
