'Mother Love' Seems Matter For Mother State In Russia By CAY PAULEY UPI Staff Writer NEW VOHK IT1' Mother love seems mostly a matter (or the mother stale in the Soviet I'nion. So says Mrs. John Spraguc Pauman. one of the first two women to pa-ticipate in the cul tural exchange program between the I'nited States aid the I'SSlt. "We were amazed. The child parent relationship seems to be thoroughly limited." she said. 'The women with whom we talked were very sentimental altout children in general, but saw little of their own. "We rarely saw families vaca t'oning together. Almost all ot the women we met wo k. H was a rare sight to see a mother pushing a baby carriage. . .often a nursery is right close to the factory." Mrs. Bauman and Mrs. Yarnall Jacobs, both of New York and both lorg active in women's or ganizations, visited Russia for 31 days this summer as guests o'. the Soviet Soc'ety for the Friend ship and Culture with Foreign Countries "They like long ti tles," she laughed. The women are with the Nation al Council of Women of the I'nited States Mrs. Jacobs as a vice-president, and Mrs. Bau man as chairman of its commit tee on Peaceful I'ses of Atomic Energy. Full Schedule They crowded in a lot of tour ingvisits to Moscow, Leningrad, iev, Yalta, Black Sea resorts, and collective farms in the L'kraine. They saw homes, apart ments, youth camps, kinder gartens, orphanages, maternity hospitals, housing projects, active churches, - a subway, museums, and worker clubs. The children in nursery, kinder garten or youth camps seemed to make the strongest impression on the women. In an interview, Mrs. Bauman said they found the youngsters "unusually healthy ANN LANDERS Answers Your Problems Dear Ann Landers: This letter is being written by three teen agers. We were shocked to read in your column that a boy 'who bleaches his hair is "jerk." There are several swell guys in our crowd who streak their hair with ammonia and peroxide, and a couple of fellows have complete b'cach jobs. We think it looks darling and can't see what you are yelping about. Millions of girls bleach their hair and nobody thinks a thing of it. Why is it jerky for a fellow and not a girl? Please print your an swer in the paper. A lot of us kids arc mad at you. Your Enemies. Dear Enemies: If you kids have the notion that anything that's O.K. for qirls is O.K. for boys, we'd better have a long talk. Hew would you like to see the fellows in earrings and high heels? Each sex enjoys privileges accorded them by custom and convention. In my opinion, self administered streaks, not to mention complete bleach jobs) on male heads get too close to earrings and high-heels. Your Friend, Ann Landers.

"The school equipment is ex cellent by our standards; there was one teacher for every 25 children on shifts of s x hours The children are kept from 7:30 in the morning u'ltil 7 30 at night, and get four meals a day "The women we met insisted that the children were far better cared for. . .by the experts. "I don't know what provision is made for (he child who doesn't fit the system." "But these children are the Soviet's investment in the future . . .and with the indoctrination 1 observed and the spartan train ing in health and endurance, it gives one pause, for our next generation." Co As A Delegate Mrs. Bauman said she and Mrs. Jacobs concluded that if an American visitor wanted the grand treatment in Russia, the way to go was as a delegate for some organization. "The Rus sians seem to feel that the way 'o impress a people is from the top down, not from the grass roots up." Tourists return complaining of he food and accommodations But the word "delegate" meant an interpreter always at their lisposal, and gifts, flowers, and refreshments wherever t h e y went. "Somebody was always drink ing a toast to peace.'' she said. As delegates, they found them selves at the head of liues for p'anes and trains and they got faster service in hotels and restaurants. "It's the old flattery technique, of course," said Mrs. Bauman. "I am sure the Russians want peace," she continued. "I'm also sure they want it on their own terms. "But their system is working for them. The main ingredient lacking is freedom. They work to an end. To us, the means is just as important as the end." place a few doors down from my folks and are busy getting settled Mom and Dad want us to have dinner with them every night either at our place or theirs.

He is the licv. Wallace N Hastings, and comes to La Grande from Indiana. The Rev. Hastings is a native of Oregon, graduating from Dufur High school tn 1M1. He attended the University of Oregon and Northwest Christian College, re ceiving a Bachelor of Theology de gree from the latter institution in 19'i2. Pastora'.cs that he has served are as follows: supply minister for the Christian Church of Center- ville. Wash, in the summer of 1943: five years at the Woodland Christian Church of Woodland, Wash. lt43-1948 : three years' with the Central Christian Church ' of Prosser, Wash. ma l'.ijl i ; and' one year as Associate Minister with the First Christian Church, of Ful lerlon, Calif. He has just complet ed a six year pastorate with the First Christian Church of Sheri dan, Ind. Enroute to moving from Sheri dan, lnd. to La Grande the Hast ings family attended the Interna tional Convention of Christian Churches held in Denver, Colo. Prior to the opening of the conven tion. Rev. Hastings was a member of the Indiana Christian Church delegation on the convention's com mittee of recommendations. This committee on recommendations considers the business and resolu tions which w ill later be presented to the general assembly and then recommends their acceptance. Rev. Hastings has been active in the community life of Sheridan, as sisting in Boy Scout work, United Fund Drives and youth activities. He participated for three years on the Indiana Campus Christian Life Commission for the Christian Churches and also served as a member of the Eight County ographer in a large office build ing. I've he'd this job for two years,. A certain man who is old enough to be my father works in the same building. I've seen him hundreds of times and he has said a pleasant good morning and noth ing more. Last night 'a'tcr work I was waiting for the bus and it was raining fairly hard. I had a rain coat but no umbrella, This man drove by and asked if I lived north. I said "Yes" and he offered to drive me "be'ore I drowned to death." . He introduced himself but I was flustered and didn't get his name. H? took me right home and that was that. My Dad asked who dropped me off and when I couldn't think of the man's name h really blew his top. He says this is the same as a pick-up and I should be ashamed of myself? Is he right? Indignant. Dear Indignant: I think your dad is off base. The man was not total stranger. You knew his face and place of employment. Your big mistake was not re membering his name. It's Not What Happens But The Reaction That Counts Tonight after school Ann, my 11-year-old granddaughter, came over to tell me she'd been de- feated for vico- 1 Dresident in the Z j3mi tchool ele jf. Tt, a keeo I election disap- r pomtment to fV her So I stopped - j baking and we :v ; taT tat down to talk S i . about it over 19 'lLi' me "arm ra' ' '"3 sin cookies and I explained to Ann young as she ia that it isn't what bap pens to you that counta nearly o much as what you do about it. loosing that election at school is a big thing to her. But if shell try, she can still make as big a contribution to her school out of office and have just as much fun And that's the important thing What's more, she'll be better pre pared to meet other more serious disappointments later on. Ris ing above heartbreak or mishap can often take a person tn heights she may never have reached otherwise. By the time Ann had a few cookies in her, she was feeling much better, and she oflered to bake the rest of the batch. In re turn I told her she could take a plate of cookies home for dinner. She impishly asked if they were Morning Milk rookies, to which I answered, "Of course, that's what makes them so tender and moist That's the first lemon you have to learn about conking. Ann. is to use good ingredients And Morning Milk ia one of the best!" I reminded her of Abe Lin coln, who, in one ol his campaign speeches, said, "II the gixid peo ple, in their wisdom, shall see fit to keep me in the background. I have been too familiar with dis appointments to be very much chagrined." Y-, we all have our disappointments.

By Ed Craig There's not much that's more annoying than to take an oth erwise clean garment from the hanger and discover a spot on it af ter just one w e a r -ing. "Where did it come from?" you ask. "Is it a food stain? - j, Merer v ag? Perfume?" You have no way of telling. When this happens, it's wise to get the garment to your cleaner as quickly as possible. While some stains are irremo vable, most of them do come out with proper cleaning. Food stains, stains from tea, coffee, soft drinks and fruit juices, should be scientifically remov ed quickly, before they be came oxidized by exposure to air and heat. Dye stains are usually the most difficult to remove from dark and pastel fabrics. White fabrics yield to bleaches which can usually remove the dye stain. Oil stains come out eas ily when fresh, yet they are often impossible to remove completely after they have ag ed for a time. A word of warning: never try to remove an unidentified stain by home cleaning agents. You might come up with a ruined garment! Proper clean ing by specialists costs less in the long run. makes your clothes last longer. Prompt pickup and delivery, or save on our "Cash and Carry" plan.
