The guest speaker was Mr. Charles Hooper of Buttonville (Councillor of Markham Town- ship) who showe-d some inter- esting slides of his trip last year to Europe. Mr. Hooper was one of a group of nine inde- pendent farmers who made a brief tour of Russian and the Scandinavian countries to com- pare their farming methods, machinery etc. From his talk the members derived a differ- ent slant on life in the Soviet , Union. One well known news- caster (who visited Moscow on- ly) was strong in his condem- nation of the heavy tasks as- signed to the womenfolk, their drab dark clothing and unsmil-' ing faces (although they were polite and courteous to strang- ers). This however was not ap- plicable to the whole of Russia as in travelling around the vis- itors saw communities gay with flowers and bright clothing worn, particularly by the child-, ran. 0( Mrs. A.
