Panorama of Ukrainian culture in the Big Apple by Helen Perozak Smindak

Around town " Appearing for three nights at the Greenwich Village cabaret "The Other End.V folk singer Melanie wowed her fans with her mellow, husky voice, a sophisticated and sexy (occasionally brassy) delivery, new songs, Christmas carols and such well-known favorites,as "Look what they done to my song ma" (with French and German, verses), "Cyclone" and "1 got a brand new pair of.roller skates." Though she was billed to appear twice nightly, Melanie came on stage for her December 21 opening about 9:45 p.m. and was still going strong when I left "The Other End" around midnight. The singer, backed by two guitarists and a drummer, played her own guitar for most selections. Dressed in semi–Western or gypsy fashion in a red blouse topped by a black waist cincher. fringed black gloves and a long tan skirt, she looked great and she sounded terrific.

A fact often overlooked is that the greatest suffering and persecution is usually undergone by races or nationality groups which for a variety of reasons are the least publicized, and consequently the least known. A classic example is that of the Ukrainians. Their past and present national martyrdom is without parallel in history. And yet. on the whole, the world remains blissfully unaware of it. Consider the facts. When down through the centuries their native land Ukraine was not being overrun and devastated by some warring foe, it was being oppressed and despoiled by the occupant powers. Time after time the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse rode rough-shod over its steppes and through its villages, town and cities, leaving death, ruin, famine and disease in their wake. The Huns, Polovtsians, Pechenihs. Turks, Tatars and other wild nomadic hordes, and then the Poles, the Muscovites-Russians, and finally the Germans - all of them warred upon, devastated, occupied, despoiled and oppressed Ukraine at the various stages of her tragic history. Yet the Ukrainians never stopped fighting. Their spirit remain unconquered. They unceasingly struggled to throw out the invaders and attain their national freedom. Though essentially peace-loving in nature, from this struggle they The installation of the new officers of Ukrainian American Veterans Post emerged an embattled people whose fighting qualities have always been hard to No. 6 of Greater Newark, N.J., was held at the post home, 140 Prospect Ave., match.
