Not all of the Ukrainians in the Chilliwack community, however, are of the Orthodox faith. Some are Roman Catholics and others belong to Protestant denominations. These observe the early date. Merry Christmas Happy New Year down, will have in Chilliwack. Local agents checked by The Progress say that they had heard nothing official on the report but their opinions were split on what the effect might be.

One said he thought that it probably would mean a small cut to Chilliwack area motorists in most cases although he had no idea what the cut might be on present prices. The other agent said that on a recent trip to Vancouver he had been told tljat insurance adjusters were just snowed under with claims and that there might be some change before any new rates would come into effect. He said it probably would be Feb. 1 before the agents would be notified with February 28 being the day that any new rates would be effective. Pot Luck Supper Marks Festive Season for WI from Russia's southwestern province, but on January 7, high religious festival will reign.

It will be a three-day affair, begun officially with the appearance of the first star on Christmas eve. This traditicnal opening obviously had its beginning in a dry country, since dependance on the appearance of any evening star in British Columbia in January could delay proceedings for some time. "Usually, we have to make an estimate," one Ukrainian told The Progress. Christmas has a deep religious significance for the Ukrainian people and the foods they prepare and eat on Christmas eve are symbolic of their reverence. Twelve additional dishes are served, representing the twelve Disciples.

Among them are borsch, a fortifying vegetable soup, which is popular among hird-generation Can The addition of incidental Christmas music and sound effects lifted the presentation to a level not usually heard in amateur plays. Kitty Allen Jillings, an actress of considerable experience in London, England, was director and narrator and her accent provided just the right touch for the adaptation of one of Charles Dickens' stories.

Taylor, secretary, also received a gift from WI members. Carol singing concluded the lings filled with cream cheese. Buckwheat in varying forms is prevalent in the festive diet. And there is kotia, boiled wheat, flavored with honey, raisins and crushed poppy seeds, a favorite. Since the Ukraine is a grain-growing land, a sheaf of wheat fills a pertinent role, which, although pagan in its origin, has been incorporated into the Christian rite with an air of thanksgiving.

This sheaf, symbolic of the main source of life in early times, was worshipped as a diety, a place which, however, it no longer holds. On January 7, Christmas day, church service will be held in the Ukrainian hall, Fairfield Island, with Rev. John Hykaway in charge. The religious note is strong throughout the day.
