The evening was spent by these students putting on a programme for us that was almost unbelievable, Their talent was fantastic — gymnastic routines, dance routines, singing and cartoon acts. This was followed by a formal welcome by the Director of the Institute and then an informal party and a chance to mix with and meet the professors and students, "What were these students really like?" If you took 100 of these kids from the Institute and mixed them with the students at South Huron and asked an out- sider to pick them out it would be an impossible task. They dress the same, hair styles are similar and they spoke English very well, The coaches and staff at the Institute were magnificient people. Although our original schedule was altered each day, they themselves were very well organized. Dr, Maslov was the director of the Institute. He was a very stern, very sincere person, Yuri Korolov, the head of the hockey department, was just a fantastic guy — a friend I will long remember. Nicoll Golomazov and Michael Bezrukov, our instructors on the ice — jug great people, always willing to help and exchange ideas on ways of coaching hockey, Michael and I exchanged sweat suits as one of our many trades, Alexander Dolgin who worked at the Institute in the hockey department and who would bend over backwards to do things for you. There were others, too numerous to mention that did a fantastic job either lecturing or simply in exchanging working ideas. GETS DEGREE — Wendy Blackler daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burns Blackler, RR 1, St. Marys graduated from the University of Western Ontario on June 7, 1976 with a B.A, degree in Sociology and English. CANCELLATIONS All around the province on the weekend cancellation of birthday celebrations for this great nation of ours, were all too noticeable. In Exeter alone four or five care- fully planned events were called off on account of rain or the threat of moisture. One event went ahead as scheduled but became the victim of the threatening skies over Exeter. The Canada Week tennis tournament held Saturday morning on the courts at the Public School suffered from the lack of competitors as only 12 players signed up for competi- tion. Art Whilsmith, organizer of the tournament, expressed disappointment at the poor turn- out. Randy Parsons of Exeter was the eventual winner.

BY RON We were in a strange country for the second day. We knew no one— barely the members of our study group. Acquaintances were made very quickly and we were on a "first name" friendship basis almost instantly. The second night in Moscow we visited the Institute of Spoilt and Culture, We spent several lecture hours here and the general study group spent most of their time at this school — a school attended by -7 ' FANSHAWE GRADUATE Donalda Wilson graduated June 18 from Fanshawe College in the HCA program in nursing.

JOSEPH CATTERALL Joseph Catterall of 1237 Huron Street, London passed away in St. Joseph's Hospital on Wednesday, June 30, 1976. Beloved husband of Ada (Birchall) Catterall. Also survived by brothers and sisters •in England, The body rested at the C. Haskett & Son Fundal Home, Lucan, Services took place al Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Lucan on July 2nd, with Rev, John Holland of Eigjating, Interment in St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye. LESLIE ROY PR ESZCATOR Leslie Roy Preszcator, for- merly of Toronto, died on Sun- day,July 4th,1976 at the Wellesley Hospital, Toronto in his 90th year. Dear brother of William Preszcator of Exeter, Funeral services were held at the Hopper- Hockey Funeral Home, Exeter on Tuesday, July 6th. Interment Exeter Cemetery. Special guest lecturers in- cluded Boris Kulagin, national team hockey coach -- a very stern, serious person; Yuri Sidelnikov, backup goalie to Tretiak; Constantine Bobrov, national team defenceman; Vitaly Erfilov, Tretialc's coach and lecturer on goalie tactics; and Aratolij 'Tarasov, former national team coach, a fantastic individual who laughed and joked. Tarasov was not a typical Russian and because of his character, one can possibly see why he was demoted from his position as national coach, but mark my statement, do not be surprised to see him behind the bench this fall when the World Cup Series is on. The list again could go on and on -- each man a specialist in a particular part of the game of hockey. The man of greatest interest was Simeon Roginsky — Department of Protocol, retired army colonel and KGP secret policeman. Simeon was an un- forgettable man. He was with us every day, he looked after us everywhere we went. He knew where everyone was at any given time. Simeon was everywhere and at a time when you least expected him. We called him "Chuckles" — not because of his happy nature, but because he rarely smiled, In the long term it was "Chuckles" who guided us through our stay in Moscow it was "Chuckles" who flashed the badges ,and who people saluted and it was Chuckles who through his "Russky efficiency" got us through many places that otherwise may have been a bit sticky, When Simeon spoke — people jumped — it was just a matter of hoW high and how fast. He cer- tainly had power. It was Simeon who guided us through customs and who asked for more gum to "influence" the customs. Maybe he was glad to get rid of us, There certainly was no job segregation in Moscow — women droVe buses, swept streets, worked on construction, paved roads and drove big road paving equipment. We even saw one instance of a female construction boss and she looked like a mean one. EveryOne carried flowers — tulips and lilacs were in full bloom: Flower shops were prevalent. People would give you a flower as a "gift of friendship." Lenin's propaganda was everywhere. I think people are brainwashed with it. Basically the propaganda was interpreted by us as: "Keep things simple"•, "Tell them often", and "Burn them if its not carried out." This of course is a personal tran- slation, People on the street did not appear happy. They never smiled. We questioned one of our interpreters on this observation. She said "Why put on a false smile as you do — when we smile it means a great deal", You could see that this was true in the people we met. Perhaps the Institute students were ex- ceptions, but the professors rarely smiled,unless it did mean something. People cannot migrate from one area to another. You are assigned an apartment which you can rent or buy. If you wish to move to another city you must exchange apartments with someone who wants to move into your city. You must have em- ployment before you move. If you move out you lose your apartment. Special visas or "passports" must be obtained if you wish to travel more than 25 kilometers out of the city. To be stopped by the police is something else. Natives must have special identification papers, They seemed to handle the offenders rather roughly. Males reaching the age of 18 years must pay a "bachelor tax'' (6 percent of your earnings) until you marry and have children — then the tax is eliminated. Females do not pay until they marry, but the tax stops after they have their first baby. If you have a dirty car you can be fined 10 roubles. Jay walking 1 rouble — payable on the spot. Police are equipped with radar and two-way radios. Apparently alcoholism is rather high in Moscow — drinking on the street seemed permissible — as long as they bothered no one, no action was taken against them. Crime rates are quite low. We felt very safe anti secure in travelling throughout the city even at night. Many people could speak a bit of English and could help you find your location and directions when we were obviously lost. To be from Canada and be associated with hockey meant almost in- stant. friendship — Drugba (friendship) that will always be remembered, but pr9bably Drugba which we will probably never be able to renew again although I have already developed a strong desire to return someday to Moscow and meet those great friends again.
