Many people in the United States. unacquainted with the details of the many and varied ethnic groups in this country are apt to think of these organizations as simply a nostalgic effort to sustain the traditions. the ideologies. the customs. and the hopes of their former homeland in the land of their adoption. That they are far more than this is amply demonstrated by the Ukrainian Congress Committee. whose 20th anniversary we celebrate at this time. These organizations are a means of assimilation of their people into the new society to which they have emigrated. They are a source of contribution to that society. They are the instrument through which the newcomer adjusts himself to the new life. and through which in many ways he enriches the land to which he has come.
