Heppner By Jl'STINK WF.ATIIFRFORD Mary Goheen'a 6.0(10 mile frnin trip across Siberia was a most InlerrstinR and exciting adventure. Kho told me a few dnvs after her return home to Heppner late on January 10 after beinR out seeing unusual parts of this planet since December 17. Mary had been in Russia nine years ago, and she re marked that she noted consid erable change there now, She saw many new buildings, the people were more open and friendly, there were many more automobiles now. She particularly noted that the women were better dressed, that they seemed slimmer and more style conscious, every where. She says that all the women wore skirts or dresses - no trousers. Quickly reviewing her day-by-day adventure, she re counts that on December 17 she moved from Heppner through Pendleton and Port land to Seattle, Wash. The next two days she flew through Copenhagen to Hel sinki where she had an over night at the Intercontinental Hotel and did a little shopping. On December 20, she had an evening flight to Leningrad where she spent three days and nights at the new Hotel Pribaltiyskaya on the Gulf of Finland. There the American travelers were shown the city's great buildings, squares, bridges, the large ethnic museum which dis plays much from the many different Soviet provinces, and the Peter the Great monu ment On December 22 the group wps taken by bus to nearby Pushkin (formerly called 'Tsar's Village" but renamed after Russia's renowned poet).
