Instead, most housing units have- someone in charge of social welfare who tries to adjust quarrels and dif ficulties and who has an eye to cleanliness and general behavior of the tenants. The women told me that since all of them work, the days when people had to queue up for hours to buy their supplies were trying for them. Now, however, they can telephone and have the sup plies delivered, This means they have to shop at a government store where all food prices are fixed by the government.

Gruger, 53, former are editor of the Saturday Eve ning Post, died Tuesday. sometimes a little more variety There is a room in the big store where children can be left while mothers shop, and while we were in Moscow a big shop, primarily for children, opened. The crowd that went through this new shop on Sundays was simp ly tremendous. I asked this group of women whether they would outline for me how a woman in the Soviet Union manages her day. I told them that I thought some of us in the U.S. wondered how it was possible for a woman with child ren to work at a full-time job. Many Things Provided They smiled at me indulgent ly and said the government pro vided them with many things needed to make this possible. They get up early and feed the family, the older children leave for school and, if there are young ones, they are taken xo a kinder garten. Or if a mother works in a factory and has a baby, she takes her baby to the day nursery in the factory. If there is illness in the family, she is not required to report to work. The doctor gives her a certificate and she can stay home. Wherever they are, the children are fed by the govern ment, the union or the factory organization and the mother picks them up and brings them home at the end of her day's work. The crowding in apartments means there is always more than one family sharing one unit. So there is usually an older mem ber of the family who at 60 has retired and is glad to watch the children if they must be at home There are many restaurants and families go out to dinner on Sunday or sometimes for an evening meal. Sunday is still the aay of rest, even in a country where religion is not officially recognized. These women seemed' to think their lives are very easy to man age. My Intourist guide, Anna Lavrova, whose husband is a pro fessor,, mentioned to me that on evenings when she is at home and busy sewing, he reads aloud to her in French, a language that he loves. There is a hunger among men and women alike for education in the Soviet Union, and in the subway, on trains everywhere, young and old read as though STARLAC fhe heart of milk is the heart of the healthful balanced diet Sj4J cooking ...baking f and whipping V vv ji " K Waffles made with Starlac are crisper.
