When “The Liberal” asked him for impressions gained during his month-long visit, Mr. Now- icki, stated in his opinion the people, especially the young people, are much better off now than when he lived there. There are much greater opporâ€" tunities for the future. since. the government pays educa- tional costs from grade school to university for those wishing to attend. “There Is religious freedom." Mr. Nowicki reported. “I at- tended four churches and there were large numbers of people in all four. However, churches in Poland have to pay taxes." “The press has not as much; freedom as in Canada." he com- mented. but noted, “They can ed to our standards.” His rela- tives and their friends asked him if reports of raping and strangling of women in North America, in their newspapers were true. When he reluctantly admitted they were he was told there were no such crimes in Poland. The Poles also expressed great surprise at the recent shootings of prominent people in the USA. They all condemn the U.S.A’s action in Vietnam. “From what I have heard, the governments of all communist countries are helping North Vietnam â€" not with manpower, but materially," reported our traveller. “People in Poland fear greatly an atomic war. for which I cannot blame them.” “The press has not as much freedom as in Canada.” he com- mented, but noted, “They can and do criticize in many ways the people in the government.” and do criticize in many ways the people in the govemment." completely destroyed in World Mr. Nowicki described the War II and one may still see people on the streets as well the scars of war even in War- dressed and a'pparently happy. saw. which is now almost 90% "There is no traffic congestion rebuilt with modern buildings "Their country was almost "There is no traffic congestion because there are few privately owned cars.

He has just returned from a month in his native land, where he visited two sisters and a brother for the first time in 41 years. Air France jetted him from Warsaw to Montreal in nine hours and 50 minutes air time. Mr. Nowicki has been a resident of Richmond Hill for the past two and a half years. Much housing construction, equivalent to that in Canada. was noticed by the Canadian visitor. He discovered that a con‘ struction worker would make 2.000 zolty per month. A man with a family of four would spend 80% of his wages to feed his family well, and his rent would consume another 8% for an apartment consisting of two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and toilet, with heat and hot water. The remaining 12% would be spent on clothing for the family. “This is not too much," said Mr. Nowicki. An- other interesting point was that the size of the family governs the size of the apartment ~â€"- not the ability to pay. All are charged the same percentage of salary or wages for this accom- modation.

THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Aug. 15, 1968 Mr. Nowicki was greatly movâ€" ed by the many monuments to the victims of the mass execu- tions carried out by the Nazis throughout the country. “Most of these were Jews and they almost succeeded in eliminating the Jewish community." he I commented. He commented on the fact' that there are no strikes and‘no gangsters. “Criminals are} punished very severely comparn ed to our standards.” His rela-; tives and their friends asked: him if reports of raping and‘| strangling of women in North‘ America, in their newspapers were true. When he reluctantly admitted they were he was told there were no such crimes in Poland. 1 “The young people are happy and patriotic.” Mr. Nowicki re- ported, but said, “The older ones are not so happy." he told us Mr. Nowickl continued.
