Re: The Weekly's jubilee

Letter to the editor, dated October 19, 1983, from the UNA Supreme Executive Committee.

Ms. Roma Hadzewycz, Editor
The Ukrainian Weekly
30 Montgomery Street
Jersey City, N.J. 07302

Dear Ms. Hadzewycz:

In October of this year, we are marking the 50th anniversary of the founding of The Ukrainian Weekly.

The Supreme Executive Committee of the Ukrainian National Association would be remiss in its duty if it did not express its thanks and appreciation to you as editor, to George B. Zarycky as associate editor and to Marta Kolomayets as assistant editor.

It is only proper that we mention with pride the name of Stephen Shumeyko, the founding father of The Ukrainian Weekly and its first editor through whose efforts as well was organized the Ukrainian Youth League of North America. He was instrumental in the organization and served as the first president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee. Zenon Snylyk followed in his footsteps as an editor until 1979.

The Ukrainian Weekly can be justly proud of its past service to the Ukrainian American community which you and your staff are proudly continuing and enhancing. More recently, your reporting on the trials and tribulations of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group, the arrests and imprisonment of Ukrainian fighters for human and national rights, the Great Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33 and all other subjects of interest and concern to Ukrainians and Ukrainian Americans, bears witness to the high quality of the content of The Ukrainian Weekly.

The Supreme Executive Committee is justly proud of your editorial work and accomplishments and extends its heartfelt wishes to you and to your staff for further and greater accomplishments in the future accruing to the benefit of the Ukrainian National Association, the Ukrainian American community and the Ukrainian cause.

"Mnohaya Lita" to The Ukrainian Weekly and its editorial staff.

The Supreme Executive Committee of the Ukrainian National Association.
