While the influence of France

the looks of the streets, the con

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

have to shop at a government

Wood replaces Dale L. Mil

Formerly assigned in Rose

for engineering telephone plant
in Klamath Falls, Ashland,
Phoenix-Talent, Rogue River,
Gold Hill- and Grants Pass as
well as Medford.
Wood has been senior engi
neer for Pacific Telephone in
Roseburg since 1950. He first
went to work for the telephone
company in 1940. As soon as
housing arrangements can be
completed, Wood plans to move
his wife and three children to
the Medford area.
EX-ART EDITOR DIES

Dorothy G. 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,
