Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1974-10-24, Page 7BY woimik ,OKE IVlarhyn and Maureen, booby, Dublin, who recently returned from a visit to Russia said MOSCOW looks just like a city at war. They are nieces of Mr, and. Mrs. Clare Trott, 125 Queen St., Clinton. The young women were among the first group of hockey fans to arrive in Moscow to view the Canada,Rossie hockey games, They said: "The soldiers were everywhere, They surrounded our plane an arrival, They were there as we spent a half day getting through customs." Marian said, "I think about 90,per cent of the men on the streets \of Moscow wore army suits. There were 300 soldiers sitting in the front three rows at the hockey coliseum, soldiers at the end of each row of seats, among the crowd and around the exits. "One young woman from Toronto was arrested for picking up some pretty stones on the ground. It took an hour for our tourist guide to secure her,release. Our guide told us if we were caught doing anything wrong he would be punished as GOOD ACCOMMODATION The women said they thought they got the best ac- commodation in Moscow because they were on the first plane load. "We stayed at an Intourist Hotel (Russians not allowed) with 3,000 rooms," Marian said. "It took us about 15 minutes to get from our room to the elevator. Our room was nicer than most we have ad. in other countries in urope. Clein 'and beautifully olished wood in the furniture, specially, the desk. The view ver the river was lovely. The ost of our double room was bout $50. ' Maureen added, "We had a adio in, our room which you ouldn't 'turn off no music — ust someone talking in ussian." Maureen said it was great to atch the hockey games but ' very frustrating". "There was no way the anadians could have won. he Russian officials made re of that — just a matter of ending out, penalties to the anadians. They ignored trip- . mg, spearing and such when, one by a Russian plaVer,"4'',41.0A id. Talking about the controver- al goal the Russians said the anadians didn't make, "The al light went on. We were sit- g behind it and the red light finitely went on," she said. "All the games were shown us later in the dining room colored television except the e game in which the con- versial goal was made!" arian laughed. Maureen, a London engineer, oke admiringly of the hnological achievements ey viewed when touring the hibit of Economics and riculture, 'Very impressive. • Marian and Maureen Looby look at a Babushka Doll they brought back as a souvenir from their holiday in Russia.

Correspondence was read con cerning a. letter' received from one of the tour guides that ac- companied the students to the United Nations in New York during the summer months ex- plaining that they had a won, derful tour of the buildings and other places of importance and how well they were received by the Rebekah Lodges for providing meals and accom- modations, at times they were even billeted in private homes. It was decided that the Rebekah Lodge would enter- tain Parkhill Emerald Lodge on November 20 at the regular eneeting.• Final plans are to be decided later. Also decided that each member is to invite one or two guests to a social evening of cards; on November 6, Mrs. Maggie Campbell and Mrs. Leona Parke volunteered to visit' the Queensway Nursing Home, Mrs. Margaret Consitt and ,Mrs, Aldeen Volland volunteered to canvass for the C.N,I,B, A number of members thanked their secret sisters for cards received on birthdays and anniversary`;. f At one drop per second, a dripping hot water tap can waste about 175 gallons of hot water each month. The electricity required to heat .tht water would keep a 60-watt bulb burning continuously, Poor insulation_a faulty heating system...inefficient use of appliances...all cause energy leaks in the home, This can'increase the cost of running a home—and waste Canada's precious energy resources.

Something like the Toronto Exhibition but it makes the Ex look like the Seaforth Fair. Every s,o often an engineer is returned to this exhibit for a refresher course." "With all ,that show of technology and the $250,000 Olympic clock for the hockey games not working, when it might favol. the Canadians!!" she hooted. Talking about Russia Marian spoke of the beautiful scenery and the lovely autumn colors. "In Moscow I've never seen so many people on the streets," she said. "Perhaps it's the apartment living. There are no houses in Moscow, only Government subsidized apart- ments with the average rent, I understand, about $112 a month for a person with a salary of about $210." She said the Russian men seemed to wear either a grey or a black suit and women's clothes were nondescript.. She said at the games it was an odd feeling to look at the rows and rows of dark clothes with the white faces looking out, like a funeral. Only about three per cent, of the Russian spectators were women, she estimated. Marian said they visited the, Anogspani Store in Moscov 4u„t they found the goods.; so far .they compared to Western things — worse than our bargain basement stores. She priced a pair of "stylish" Russian women's shoes (popular here 15 years ago) with pointed toes and high heels and .said they cost about $50. Maureen added, "The fur hats, the' furs, all very beautiful. The jewelery is nice -too, but the craftsmanship is not good." The women said it was dif- ficult to find good souvenirs, most wares were' trashy. They found only one store that carried gifts they would buy. They displayed a lovely triple leaf, light yellow amber pin and a , Babushka doll, the small wooden doll with other iden- tical smaller dolls inside. "A true Babushka has to have 12 dolls," Maureen said, Marian displayed one of her sweaters with the front covered with small trading pins. She said she got most of them from small boys who traded them for a stick of gum, The boys became a nuisance eventually, coaxing for gum and any Canadian insignia. Marian remarked on the ,cleanliness of the streets — lit- tering is a crime, a person can be jailed for dropping even a cigarette butt. Maureen said if a person is unemployed they are given jobs such as sweeping the streets. She said women retire at 50 from their labouring jobs such as road building and are given light work — scrubbing and sweeping. Maureen, the engineer, ad- mired the ease of travel in Moscow, stating a person could cross the city of seven million persons in 20 minutes because there were no 'street crossings or pedestrian crosswalks, only underpasses. She said cabs were cheap too and„Cabbies took no tips, but would accept chewing gum. The women found the of- ficials of the American Em- bassy friendly but the Canadian Embassy never recognized the Canadian fans, only the hockey players. Marian said she lost seven pounds because of the meals. "Lots of fish, and I don't care for it. The potatoes and the very tough steaks were fried in heavy oil •which made them very greasy. Caviar, vodka and beer were served with their meals. They travelled 400 miles north to Leningrad, the main port on the Baltic Sea,. which is noted for its architecture and as a centre for literature. "A pleasant contrast to Moscow, more modern, more like other European cities we have visited,” they said. In Moscow they went to the ballet and saw "Swan Lake" in an impressive building, ap- parently used mainly for ballet, well deSigned to give best per- spective of the dancers. They said it was the only building in which they saw carpeting — thick grey — and red plush seats. Maureen said there were no playgrounds in the city. Sports are regimented. "They seem in- terested in making a master race," she said. Children of of- ficials at the American Em- bassy were not allowed to use some vacant land back of their building as a playground for their own children. "A fabulous trip," they con- cluded. TAYLOR'S CORNERS 4H The sixth and seventh meeting of Taylor's Corners was held on Saturday, October 19 at the, Westbrook Home.
