14-D LUBBOCK Sunday Morning, September 3, 1961 Russian Lot Is Difficult Ice Cat Hides Advance Agent Says definiately not a woman's world in Jeyne Brown, a recent visitor to Moscow, said Friday. "Thr women do most of the heavy manual she explained. most of young men are either athletes, going to school or engaged in other Miss Brown is an advance agent for Ice Capades, which will the featured sittxsictioB In F'sir Psjnk Coliseum during the Panhandle South Plains Fair this year. She went with the Ice Capades troup for a 10-week engagement in Moscow early this summer and is candid in expressing some of her opinions about a Russian woman's lot. There were several difficulties on the trip.

Miss Brown said, including bad food, language barriers, the native distrust of Soviet officials and perhaps worst of all a complete lack of dry cleaning facilities. "The Russians have no dry cleaning facilities and our domes got extremely dirty. They offered lo send our clothes to Heisinky. Finland, but they be illumed for six weeks and we were afraid they would wash our woolens. Food Is Heavy food was all very heavy with potatoes and bread as the base for most meals.

We didn't get any fresh, vegetables until the end of our stay, and then it was some small tomatoes and a little bit of lettuce. "There were carrots most of the time and the Russians thought it very odd that we ate them raw. However, the way they prepared them took most of the vitamins out. "Perhaps the food they eat is why Russian women look the way they do. Most of them are short and pretty heavy, which is the way one would describe the condition of their food." Miss Brown said Russian women are only begining to use a moderate amount of makeup.

since the communist doctrine frowns on such things. Clothes are scarce and. she said There were women's clothes in some store windows, but everything was cut square and looked drab. It was not unusual for the price tag on a cheap-looking rayon dress to real $30 or event SI oil, have what they call fashion shows in the large department stores but only the top party members can afford the dresses. Of course, their political philosophy is built on the idea that everyone is equal, but when it comes to the ability to buy women's clothes, some people are obviously more equal than Shopping Is Chore Shopping is also a major chore in Moscow, Miss Brown said, cause there are lines everywhere, in theaters, restaurants, stores, movies and in the subways.

After a while Russia seems to be just otic long Children lead a better life than adults in Russia. people spend a great deai of their income on their children. The youngsters are than their parents and they appear to be well-fed. go to Pioeer Camps in the summer and the little children go to Pioneer schools in the winter. They go to a state school or a nursery all through their childhood, because in Russia the place is not in the home, but on the job.

Both parents have jobs. everyone has to work, some of the jobs seem fairly Miss Brown said, ways to keep people busy. They have soft drink machines and a woman sits beside each machine just to hand out They have escalators in some stores and they have two or three women who do nothing but watch them. The packaging of food and other products also drew Miss Brown's attention, since there seems to be a shortage of paper and plastics. "Everything seems to be either in glass or in cans.

The cold drink machines on the street would have only one glass each and an apparatus for washing the glass before using it. They didn't have paper cups like we do. Everyone used the same glass. 4 When we were taken to a factory we were astounded that they used no plastic containers, such as we have become accustomed to. We asked the plant manager about it and got the usual communist answer.

He told us that they did use plastic but that the plastic section of the plant was not operating that day. "Dwellings in Moscow, the show place of communism, are still primitive by our Miss Brown said. There are still many log cabins, but they are being tom down and replaced by apartment buildings. Moscow the apartments ail look alike, there is no distinctive she said. "The family of four will usually get one room in which to live.

They will share a kitchen and a bath with probably 20 families. course, artists, sports people and high government officials get treatment and live in bet- tc conditions. As I said, some people are more equal than others." Asked about the mental attitude of the Russians, Miss Brown said: seem happy, probably because they have never known anything else. We of the Ice pades troup were thrilled to be allowed to go to but the biggest thrill of all was to get back to the good old U. S.

Capades was well-received in Russia and I think the main reason was because our show brought some color and excitement in to the drab dreary lives of the citizens of NOTICE THE PRESCRIPTION LABORATORY 1625 COLLEGE AVE.
