EVERYDAY LIFE UNDER SOVIETS The Soviet press is at present full of news items reporting how the government is concerned over ■bhe lot of Soviet citizens and sup posedly is increasing the con- simi'pition production for the satis faction of their wants and for raising of the standard of living. At the same time w-e find in these newspaperis reports on com merce which are telling a differ ent story. The daily Radyanska Ukraina of Kiev (of November 1, 1953) related a strange event at a s'tore in Lwiv. A woman looking for a toy for her child, selected a “(butterfly” and [picked it up. Sud denly she started crying as her W ar II and it compared favorably with any steel mill in the United States. One .phenomenon in this picture appeared to add to an American — the women were g'iv- en the dirtiest and heaviest jobs to do, such as lifting back break ing pieces of metal. In this city of Zaporizzya Mad am Mesta visited a kindergarten for the children of factory work ers. She did not elaborate on this visit, still the photo she took is telling the story. In a hall of the kindergarten are sitting the tea chers, Perle Mesta, a man, prob ably the leader of the institution or an agent. A girl, 4 or 5 years old, is singing a song about Stal in. Those present are listening while the little singer appears un naturally serious if not sad. The child acts in an obligatory cere mony, performing her duty, with out usual emotion. She is obliged to fulfil this is unable to soneeal her embarrassment. Still we can read the reflection on the faces of the listeneners—that official smile imposed by the inhuman regime. From Madam Mesta’s reports we read the thoughts of the cap tive people as we would from doc uments. For they do attest to the misuse of the health and strength of the women in the plans of con struction within the Soviet Union as well as to the merciless kidnap' pinig of the children and of youth by the bofchevik tyranny. hand was bleeding. It developed that the “butterfly” was covered with sharp nails, sharper than those of a porcupine. But in spite of this incident the “butterfly” continued to be feat ured in the s to re , for it had been manufactured “according to the plan, was entered in the books, and hence could not be lacking. Yet finally it was too much for the customers who had been in juring their hands, and the minis try of commerce at Kiev received complaints. It then sent a com mission to investigate the case. The commission reported its find ings saying that “the butterfly” wais dangerous and ougiht to be removed from sale. It took sever al months to ascertain this which procedure is almost unimaginable in the free world. However, in the meantime, as H. Zahadchenko, a correspondent The Ukrainian land is rich in varied kinds of produce, hence the nutriment of its people is likewise diversified. The rigorous conti nental climate requires solid food. But these facts tend to mailing the food nourishing and whole some.

He said that some of the items like door locks or spoons should be marked — dangerous to use. The correspondent accused the factories that they care nothing for the quality of goods. He men tioned the names of the managers with whom he finds fault for such poor production. Still if one would find out that it is tilie sys tem which should be blamed for the wrongdoing since the bolshe vik system does not care for the good of labor and of the public, and the enslaved and underpaid as well as undernourished labor would never and nowhere produce willingly a proper and adequate yield. greased griddle (veg. shortening will do).
