He began by describing the vast extent of the cotmtry which covers one seventh of the whole surface of- the earth. The trip was made up of visits to the cities of Leningrad, (formerly St. Petersburg), Sochi, Volgograd, Kiev and Moscow. Although he had travelled by air he explained that the develomentf cities had been related to the Vintage Harry Baker By Doris Hunter Bayfield - The best book of the year, has arrived in Hayfield,. just in time for that ex- tra Christmas gift, especially for those far from home. Hayfield's own Harry Baker has given everyone a present, by publishing His Memoirs. It is offered for sale, below the cost of publication and it is vintage Harry from the opening pages to very end. Lord Tweedsmuir our one time Governor General wrote a most intriguing book, which he called "Memory Hold The Door" full of people and great events. Harry's book is full of people too, our people, those you would meet on the street or in church any time. It brings back another era, gentler times really, but nevertheless a tale of sur- vival, of hard physical labor and mischievous good times along the way. Those, who know Harry and if you don't know him, this is a perfect way to meet him, are well aware of his loyalty to old friends, the care he takes- to preserve his friend- ships, his devotion to his family and to his church and this village. It all shines through in this memorable story. ' I alternated between laughter and tears as I read my gift copy. Laughing with Harry, never at him and nostalgic tears as names appeared, such as Toddy Brown, Murdock Ross and Willard Dreger and his brother Hales. Big events in the village ate recorded and interesting descriptions of pioneer living. The book is a jewel of Canadiana, a labor of love, by our senior citizen Harry. Baker, one of nature's gentlemen in the truest sense of the phrase. Dorothy Jesson, proprietor of the Cheese Nook, has had so many requests for Harry, to autograph the book, she has arranged a coffee hour at the store, when the author will be there to meet you and sign his Memoirs.

Although collective farming was a large part of the overall economy encompassed by five year planning, there was evidence of small plots being cultivated for personal use. Perhaps one of the main impressions con- veyed by Mr. Oakes was the total absence of religion in any form and the use of churches as public buildings. Some small indications of religious belief did become evident but they were minimal. Moving from place to place it was observed that people were well dressed although shopping appeared to mean endless queuing and the variety of goods available were limited. Visits to markets were shown in some of the slides depicting crowded stalls and colorful displays of fruit and vegetables. Taking away your purchases, unwrapped, was a lit- tle disconcerting! On the subject of education Mr. Oakes said that the children were in two groups the first from the ages of nine to 14 and he se- cond from 15 to 20. English was WO -second language. It was also noted that ballet, opera and folk dancing were popular and family attendances at these performances were well patronized cheap seats being available for all comers. During the course of their stay Mr. and Mrs.'Oakes also had an opportunity to visit a ci>cus, another ex- tremely popular form of entertainment. • Further observations included the huge blocks of apartments for the workers and it was understood that in some circumstances these were crowded, and this perhaps ac- counted for the vast number of people who appeared on the streets in the evenings. Apart from water 'transport the subways were the main public transport on which one could travel for a maximum fare of the equivalent of seven cents! Cars were few, petrol expensive and gas stations widely Turn to page 12 • At the Bayfield Lioness Club's Christmas party, held at the Bayfield Community Centre on December 1, a few of the ladies put on a play in the form of an updated version of "A Christmas Carol". Taking part in the play were Edith Jamieson, Kathleen Siertsema, Sharon Sinnamon, Vera Gregg, Sue Scrimgeour and Janet. McDougall.
