A Ipt of excitement was created at
the World Federation of Democratic
Youth Couhcil Meeting when i t was
annöunced that the next Wprld Youth
Festival Avpuld be held in Moscöw.
But you can imiagihe our excitement
when we heard that following the fes­tival

ON THE WAY
We boäriled a t r a i n i n Warsaw a^ng
with delegates from many other coun-tries,;;
Spaln. Portugal, USA, Austraha,
Itäly, and varioiis Latiri American
cöuntries. Öui- fhst stop vas Brest
where we changed from the Pblish
train to a Soyiet train^ We were met
by a brass hand; hundreäs pf youth
and ibäds of flpwei"s. In the statien
square we danced, exchanged greet-ings
and souyenirs. We were serveid
a delicious meal i h the statiOn dining
rbom, whieh incidentälly looks lilce the
main dining room i n the Royal York
Hotel.
On the train it ^seemed we spent
most of our time walkihg to and from
the dining car. . A t first we protested
against ali the eating, hoHreVSr, i t can
grow pni you, — which j t did, pcunds

When''we arrived next moming in
Mosoow we were met by pioneei;? .and

flowers,:pinned pipneer scarves.arpund
our necks and gave Us their pipneer
pins. It was really wonderful,to see
SO many happy little faces. I Just
couldh't resist: them and gave away
ail the rest of my pins, pennies and
anything else I could find, They
chattered «nerrily in Russian and I
tried slgn language. I must have
nodded my head at the vrong qu^tion
because they begari sweeping rae
away. ' A very nice American chap
who was on his way to China rescued
me as the ptherdelegates were aheady
i n the cars.
We were takeri to our new home
which tiirned out to be the Moscow
Hotel facihg the Red Square. They
apbiogized profusely for having tp put
three people in a twb-persoa suite.

LENINGRAD
; Lenihgräd corisisting of Ipl islands

River. . The f Irst stone of the Ö
of Peter and Paul was laid i n 17Ö3,
which is cbnsidered the birth of Le­ningrad;
TTie cästie. was cbmpleted
in 1733. The spire rises tb the height
pf 122 metres and is only one metre
in diaineter.. It was Used as a beacon
iight. for ships. The f irst ^t)uildings
bf the city were biiilt: on the right
bank. The first i^land wäs buiit as
a fort calied Small Arrow, which was
later nioved to tlie Gulf pf Finland.
Further down the river pn the;right
bank was built the stockexchange
building ;yhich still stands. In li825
twp large bevons vvere built i n fiont
of it. These are large circuiar co-lumns:
decorated wiih the prows. bf

which was the name öf the
city before. the revolution. We visi-ted
Sfö Isaac's Cathedral whlch .waS
started i n 1817 and completed in, 1857.
It is the secpndtaliest building'in L e ­ningrad.

•We alsp visited the Central Square
or Square of Palaces., . I n the centre
of this square stands the; Alexander
Columri, which was erected i n ' 1834
to commemorate the yictbry of Russia
over Napoleon. I t is composed a&>bhe
block of granite and stands 47.5 metres
high. We visited the Winter Palace bf
the Czars and the liermitage: ; The
Hermitage has one of the most prized
and largest art cqllectibhs i n the World

the Prodigal Son" which was painted
i n the year of Rembranfs death.
Priceless gold and jewelled ornaments
lare on display i n the Gold Hall of the
Hermitage. Some date back six or
seven centuries before our calender
when the Skiff people lived in the
Crimea and southem parts of the
Ukräine. These have been fbund in
the hills ahd tombs during excava-tions.
V Some tombs of Siberian noble
men from the time of Peter the Great
have been uncovered.
The display includes large brooch
watches covered, with preqious Stones,
v/atches with wooden mechanisms.
One Clock was particularly fascinating.
Itwas built as a house with little ani_
mals,. miashrooms frogs which moved
«continuoiisly as the clpck ticked away.
A l i tiiese things were made long before
optical lenses were discovered. Intri-cate
costume jewellery and other or­naments
were made for coUectioh pur-poses
only; The Hermitage was open
only to the Czar's immediate family
and Special guests. In the huge
Throne Rppm where formeriy sat the
Czar is a huge map of the USSR 27
meteres square. It is made up pf
inarble and precious stohes from the
mountainJs.
A HISTÖRIC FACTOBY
In Stalirigradwe visited the Lomo-nosov
Factory which wäs founded by
Elizabeth 210 years ago. Up to the
time of the Revolution i t produced
china for court purposes only. Here
we followed the various stages of pro-ductipn,
from the artist designing the
moulding to the ha.nd painting of the
china to ensure its permaheace.
Everthing i n the factory was done by
händ. ^'
THE MOSCOW UNIVERSITY
The •Moscow tTniversity stands m ä -
jestically facing thhe Moscow River.
It is 240 metres high with 32 stories.
There are 2,000 lectuire halls,. labora-torjes
and auditoriums and s^x floors
of libraries. 22,000 students attend and
over 5,000 are enrolled i n correspon-dence
courses, 1,800 of the students
are postgraduates. 59 nationalities are
represented.
K I E V AND THE U K R A I NE
Kiev i n the 7th century became the
centre of sbate of three national
groups, the Ukraniahs, Byelorussians
and Russians. It was f ormeriy calied
the Cradle of Russia. It is now the
capitol of the lUkrainiän SSR. Much bf
the city w a s damaged iduring the war.
We visited the Shevchenko Museum
where we saw the exact duplicate of
the Shevchenko Statue . ä t Palermo,
Ontario.. • .
We became more acquainted with
the "Bard of the Ukraihe", who vias
exiled for. his revolutionary poetry c aL
ling the people to overthrpw the Czar.
His poetry .was bänned until after the
great October Revolution. He was not
only a.great poet but an outstanding
artist and sculptor as well.
A COLLECTIVE F A RM
We had an opportunity tp visit a
Kolkhoz and to study their living con-ditions.
Besides their collective work.
each peasänt family has a plot of land
and their own cottage. At one such
cottage we met a peasant woman who
was a grandmbther. Her little cot­tage

; Mike Quin, satirist, died eight
years ago (Aug. 14, 1947) of cancer
at |iis home in Marin County,

The 44-yeär.old writer,
whose stories and poems have en-tertained
and instructed thou-sands
of readers of the labbr press
for 15 years, lost a race wlth
death to complete another book.
The followIng is reprinted from
Quln's 1941 bpok, More Dangerous
Thoughts.
One of the greatest fallacies foster-ed
by women is the contention that
copking is difficult and requires skill.
As a matter of fact there is prac-
Ically nothing to it,
Take breakfast, What is there . to
fixing breakfast? Suppose you find
yourself alone i n the house on a Sun-day
morning and wander out i n the
kitchen in robe and slippers? You
want breakfast, Ali right, here's ali
you have to do,
Open the copler and take twp eggs
eut pf the cardbeard box. Set them
pn the sink temporarily, Now, what
next? Poke around in the cupboards
under the sink and you will find a
fryhig pan. Put it on the stove. So
much for that.
Now go back to the cooler and find
some bacon. Take it out, lay it next
to the eggs on the sink and rub your
hands together. Everything is going
fine. G P back to the stpve and.look
at the frying pan. which is still sitting
there. Light a fire under it. then re­t
um to the sink and get the eggs,
carrying one i n each hand. and brlng
them over to the stove. No, bring
them back again and put them down.
You forgot the buttcr.
Open the cooler. ftad a dish. Then
t um tp the drawer i n the sink, get a
knife, out a piece of hutter. No. Wait
a minute. . Come to thinl;. of it, i f ybu
f ry. the bacon first,: you can use the
bacon grease.
Scrape the piece of butter back to
the dish, return to the sink, pick up
the bacon and go back tb the stove.
Here hesitate a minute. If you almost
made a mistake on the butter you
might be making a mistake on the
t»acon. Think carefully. If you can't
think of anything wrong, put the ba-.
con in the pan and watch it curl up.
Try to straighten it up with your
fingers. Then rush back to the sink,
open the drawer and look for the
turner. ltwon*t be there, The turner
is in another drawer under the dish
cupboard. Get your hands bn it and
return to the stove as soon as possible.
By this time the bacon is cooked to
a crisp. Drop the turner and rush for
a dish, then back to the stove. Shovel
the bacon onto the dish. Ifs a little
burned, but Jsome people like it that
w a y . . ; .y..';. •' • '
Now go back to the sink and get the
eggs, one in each hand.. Crack them
on the edge of the pan and ease them
intb the bacon grease. Put the shells
on the shelf bver the stove and wipe
your hands on your robe, Everything
is going fine,.
Run to the btead hoK. take out the
loaf. slice off a few pieces for toast-ing.
T P light tlie oven, get down on
your hands and knees and peek i n the
little hole in the tin. You; won't see
anything. ; .
Light a match. stick it in the hole.
and turn the gas valve, Then wält.
Just wait. Suddenly the match will
burn tp your finger and you will
realize you tumed the wrong valve,
thus imperiling yourself with the
danger of 'explcsion. Tum off the
valve i n a hurry. Find the right valve.
Two or three matches should be
enough to get the oven Iit, Meanwhile
the eggs are cooking furlously.
Dash for the sink and find a sauce-pan,
F i l l with water and try to brinjg
it back to the stove without spillhig.
If you will put your tongue between
your teeth and balance yoiurself like a
tightrope Walker your chances are
good, Get it on the stove and'light a
fire under it, Thafs fbr' the coffee,
Gräb the eggs quickly because they
are getting brown at the edges, Dump
them onto the plate and you will
smell tbast bummg. Plop open the
oven and burn your fhigers trying to
puli it out. ; •
Just then the phone will ring. T um
off the oven and run to answer it.
You have wasted too much time and
the party on the other endl^as hung
up. ''^:\..:.
. Return quickly, for the bacon is now
cold ^ n d the eggs are cooling. The
watcr for the coffee is bbiling. Find
the coffee pot. Grab a pot holder
and lift the pani Wait a minute, Y o u
havent put the coffee i n yet. . Drop
everything and go get the coffee, •Put
the coffee in the pot, pour i n the
water a§ä clamp down the l i d . .

and pepper? Get up and find them.
Go back and sit down. .Where's the
sugar? You forgot to t um off the gas
under the pan,. Get some cream from
the cooler. The phone rings agahi.
The kitchen whirls around and

of the cash-ual behavior of
thb male Canadian boss.
•Up iihtil now mauy of Dr. Flimsey's
disclosures have been things whlch
have Just been whiq?ered i n the loc-kers
ä t swänk country clubs, or behind
potted' plants i n the lobbies of the
better night clubs, •
Now it can be told!
Now some bf the real f acts are avall-able
fpr ali to read and tP ppnder. V
Dr. Flimsey tbuchies pn such topics
as "are happy mergers made i n hea-veh,"
"is tickering aroimd with your
partner's tape ethical," and "does the
stock really bring babies to the rich?"
; The Dr. is well-equippied for the
work which he has been / toiling at
these past dozen years. Prior to öiis
he had been engaged for many years
i n studying the incidence of porifc i n
pork and beans. Earlier i n his career
he had pondered over that old conun-drum
'what came furst the sedimeht
or the keg?"
We met the Doctor i n his hideaway
bn the sixteenth floor of a well-known
downtown hotel. .
Our own .acouriting pf the meeting,
Jptted down on an old shirt cuff, is a
scoop of the scooplest order,-.
"Bosses," said the doctor at one
stage, "are just Uke other pepple, pnly
richer." -^^-f
And he had equally hemely ebserva-tipns
pn other suhject matter ta his
upcoming book "Old bahkers never
die," he opined, "they just ibse tote.
rest."
The doctor observed that the heha--
vior pattern of bosses to\yärds cash
was something that developed early
i n life, "Where most dhildiven like to
play house," he said, the boss-type
as a child is "the pne whp hplds the
mbrtgäge on the 'house' that other
children are playing,"
"Then too", he said, "when the c h i l ­dren
play cowboys and mdians, cops
and robbers, or space-men, the boss-type
is the orie who sells.the 'gims and
ammunition*, usually to" both sides.
This, of course. is what business people
later refer to as sound diplomatlc bu­siness
practice."
Contrary to widely held beliefs, the
Dr, has come up with the iiiformatipn
that i t is at f ive and a half that boss-,
type children" discover-tiiat they we-ren't
brought by the s t o c l c A t seven
the idea.of happy mergers being made
i n heaven gets kicked into a cöcked
tophafc.
"Ifs a lot of hpoey," one young- boss
to-be-said, "happy mergers are made
at daddys Club,"
'.'The right attitude to cash", said
the Doctor, "is something that deve-lopes
early In life," Like Ivpry Spap,
99.99^per cent pf the bpss-types he had
iaterviewed had picked the right kind

years with outstanding success.
Not'for cancer, but for ailments like
arthritis. •'-:••,';;./.•:
Over. there, people don't "just sit",
They get Cxactly controUed atomic
treatments, Great numbers of Soviet
people, suffering from arthritis, have
been completely relieved of their
sj-mptoms by meahs of atomic baths,
•Thjese baths äre also given to
people who have certain forms of
heart disease. The baths are not "psy-chological
treatments," as some doc-tors
here claim. You can see and
instanly measure the prof ound effect
they. have on the bpdy.
I n three cities i n the Soviet Union,
"atomic mud" is beihg delivrared to
treatmeht clinics, from raiiway tank
cars. They ship It thousands of miles,
SO artiiritis victims can get treatment

found, people have used them for
ages, But they had no idea what the
muds did to them. Or what the
dangers were.. U n t i l about 30 years
r.go, Soviet scientists began finding
exactly how these atomic,materials
affect the human body.
Most commonly Used atomic muds,
and waters, have the gas radon in.
them. This gas steadHy "disinte-grates",
forming other active siihs-tances.
When this liappens, three ato­mic
rays (alpha, beta and gamma)
are produced. It is these rays which
cause changes In the cells of the
body. •;,
From a medical report prepaired by
12 leading Soviet doctors, here is a
brief, non-technical summary bf '•how
v^nd why" atomic baths are used over
there. ; •
When you take an "atomic bath",
the radon gas swiftly. penetrates your
skin. It gets right into your blbod-sti-
eam. Thus it goes to every part
cf your body. At the same time, the
air you breathe; (it circulates over
surface of bath) takes radon into
yoiu: lungs. ;
Inside of a mhiute, after you get
into an atomic bath,, countless tiny
"atomic explosiöns" are taking place
inside your bbdy cells. Your J^kln
quickly turns pale; atomic radiation
makea some blood vessels cbntract.
TJiere is a marked change ta the
muscle and nerve cells, and that
accounts for the relief nbted by arth-ritic
patients.
. I f s not SP simple as it spunds,
Amount of radon i n the mud (pr wa-ter)
must be very caref ully adjusted.
Depehding pn the patient, the bath
.may be stirred, pr left quiet. Time of
treatment is highly important.
So is the humber of baths. Soviet
clinics have many Instruments and
tests, used with these treatments. .
Db the baths work? Soviet medical
men, i n widely separated centres,
emphatica.lly declare, that subh "ato­mic
baths" are highly effective.
