Constant supervision of hla life by a eommunlst, one -party government. the aMurance of a Job without riches If he behaves and perhaps distinction In some field of endeavor honored by the Soviets that Is the outlook for Ivan Ivanovlch, the typical Russian boy. He may become dictator, doctor, factory manager or flier, a scientist or soldier, or Just worker. Any ca reer except that of capitalist, land lord or employer of labor Is open to him. Learn Trade Early He might even study for the priest hood, as his "dear father, teacher and leader." Joseph Staltn, did before he became a revolutionary. But that is extremely Improbable, for Ivanovlch was born and reared under a god less, antl-rellglous regime. Atheism la part of his education. At 14, Ivan la enjoying his seventh year of free education by the state and he hut three more years to go to school. Then he may go to work, or to university. If he can pass the ex aminations. If Ivan found school irksome end hlB parents were willing, he might go to work In a factory, since he Is only 14, he would work only four hours a day. Hta pay would be small, probably less than 100 rubles a month ( MO at the official exchange rate, but about ftlA In buying power). And he would have to learn a trade In the factory school. Must Enter Army It Is quite likely, therefore that Ivan prefers school. Hi father Is able to support him, especially since the government provides many facilities, Including free medical service. Government regulation Is on every side of young Ivan. He will feel It mere as he grows older and goes to work. He la not compelled to be a Young Pioneer, or member of the communist youth organisation for boys up to 10 years old, but most of his playmates 6,000,000 In the Sov iet, Union are lilt, so Ivan Joins. He wears a red necktie as a badge of membership. Five years from now, when he Is 19. Ivan must begin two years of military service In the Red army. As a Young Pioneer he has learned discipline, i marching to drumbeats and perhaps' Pigtail Curl Controversy Spreads to Porky Center MINNEAPOLIS (UP) Come now the answers from the heart of the na tion's farm country to the poser on pigs posed by a native 18 -year-old farm girl to the New jersey depart ment of agriculture. The girl's question "Which way does a pig tall twist?" was asked of numerous Minneapolis citizens and none lacked for the answer, or some answer. A resume of the answers indicates that a pig tall whirls clockwise, counter-clockwise or in a cone-like spiral. stands straight up or droops, or in clines toward the forepart, depending on the pig's diet, the weather and the whim' of fate. Said James Mullen, Minneapolis captain of detectives: When a pig Is In good condition. well fed and well cared for, the tall sticks straight up. And when It's poor and measly, the tall sort of flaps down. I know, because I'm a pretty good farmer." The more erudite and considered opinion of Dean Walter C. Coffey of the college of agriculture, forestry and home economics at the University of Minnesota, was: "Moat of the pig tails that I can re member turn right. The New Jersey pigs' tails probably curl mostly to the left because they're east of the Mis sissippi." But Ray Ross, bolter manufacturer, believed: "Pigs' tails run from the south west quarter to the northeast quarter except when they run due south." A Minneapolis alderman said they twist left, and declared he would so provide by ordinance If any pigs in the city were contrary. Elizabeth Owens, an assistant coun ty attorney, speaking "strictly In sup port of the female pigs," said: "Tails are Just tails, and probably run to the imagination." According to George H. Hemperly. clerk of the district court, it Is mere ly a matter of relativity. "If you stand on your head." he pointed out, "they curve right or left, and If you atand on your feet, they curve left or right." W. H. Peters, chief of the division of animal husbandry. University of Minnesota, said they curl both waya. but added: "A hog whose tall curls to the right Is no snootier than one whose tail curls to the left." of hi time to serving mankind, par tlcularly children. Carrying out the vow, he bought a ftO-paasenger bus. Driving tt him self, he travels through tiie country side on Sunday more rigs, taking scores of children and their parents to Sunday school and church. The service Is free, and he will take them to any church they wish to attend. Thomas Edison placed on the market the first commercial model of the phonograph In 1888. Within a few years, phonographs and rec ords were sweeping the country. Famed Railroad Ballad Composer Quits Cab Job WASHINGTON (UP) With whis tles shrieking and flares covering hts engine, the composer of the famous ballad, "The Wreck of the Old 97." for 93 years an engineer, made his last run for the Southern railway recently. Residents all along the line be tween Manassas and Strasburg, Va know Dave Tuck, and when they saw the flares and heard the whistle blasts, knew the 73-year-old engineer was saying good-bye. When the wreck of the 97 occurred as yean ago, Tuck was on, of the first to reach th, scene. H, and a friend, David Oeorge, were so Im pressed, he says, that they sat down on the track and then and there composed the song that made them famous and Involved them In long litigation. In later years they have tried unsuccessfully to collect roysl ties on the phonograph record ssles of the bsltsd.' Twice Tuck has yielded to a desire to get Into the show business aa a sideline. He claims he showed the first motion picture seen In the Shenandoah valley. It warn many years ago, and people lacked suffi cient faith In the new contraption to pay the entry fee. Another time he put on an Ice carnival In Stras burg. One of hla productions wsa a modified burlesque show. Tuck plans to settle In Straaburg for the rest of his life but before he does he Is going to tske a long ride behind th locomotive Instead of In It. So he la going to get a pass and travel In style all over the country, looking up Uioae of hla brothers who are still alive. rtfle-Ahootmg or constructing gliders In a boys' club. Knows Little W V. 8. Ivan has been taught that the cap italistic countries surrounding Russia are his enemies. The "fascist" coun tries, particularly Oermany and Japan, are preparing war against hla father land, he Is told. Ivan, who doea not talk to for eigners, probably has little feeling about the United States, knowing It principally as the country to which Soviet aviators have flown by way of the north pole and as a country noted for labor efficiency, which should be emulated. .
